The VAN greenfield cement plant of the Galiawa Group in Kurdistan will have a production capacity of 7,000 tpd clinker and about 2.5 Mta cement capacity (photo: officials of Galiawa and Sinoma at a contract signing ceremony). Galiawa is one of the largest groups of companies in Iraq with business in the general trading, steel, cement, concrete and property development. The new cement plant will fulfil the countries construction needs, while producing sulfate-resistant (SRC), ordinary Portland (OPC), CEM II, oil well, and lightweight cements.

Saudi Arabia’s cement dispatch up 11.5% in 10M 2025
In the first 10 months in 2025, Saudi Arabia’s cement dispatch (local dispatch and exports) increased by +11.5% to 45.904 Mt, after 41.156 Mt in the same period last year and 40.517 Mt in the year before.
Brazil’s cement dispatch up +3.5% in 10M 2025

Holcim wins EU funding for CCS project in Romania
Holcim has been selected for a European Union Innovation Fund grant for its carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Campulung, Romania, which will produce an estimated 2 Mta near-zero cement from 2032. Holcim’s Carbon Hub CPT 01 project will be Eastern Europe’s first full-scale onshore CCS project. With the project in Romania, Holcim now has eight large-scale EU-supported carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) projects, the largest number of funded projects in the industry to date.
Indonesia’s cement volume down -3.1% in 3Q 2025
In the 3rd quarter in 2025, Indonesia’s cement volume decreased by -3.1% to 44.610 Mt, after 46.034 Mt in the same period last year and 45.301 Mt in the year before.
Chile’s cement dispatch up +5.7% in 09M 2025
In the first 9 months in 2025, Chile’s cement dispatch increased by +5.7% to 3.889 Mt, after 3.680 Mt in the same period last year and 3.891 Mt in the year before.
France’s Vicat will fully decarbonize Montalieu-Vercieu
The VAIA-project (Vicat Advanced Industrial Alliance) at France’s largest cement plant is receiving a grant by the EU Innovation Fund. The project at the Montalieu-Vercieu (Isère) 2.0 Mta capacity plant (photo) will produce calcined clay, using the MECAClay technology to reduce the clinker content of the produced cement and capture about 1.2 Mta of process CO2 by using a CCS-technology. According to our information from March this year, the captured CO₂ shall be transported via a converted pipeline to Fos-sur-Mer, where it will be liquefied and permanently sequestered in geological reservoirs.
