Security issues hit Eastern Cement production in Yemen
28 November 2014Yemen: Eastern Cement had its fuel and raw materials supply for clinker production interrupted due to escalating security and political turmoil. The supply problems have been solved and clinker production processes have returned to normal, the Saudi Arabian cement producer confirmed.
The sale of cement by Arabian Yemen Cement Company, in which Eastern Cement controls a stake of 32%, has continued without disruption as the company has sufficient reserves of clinker. Arabian Yemen Cement Company, based in Hadhramaut province, was founded in 2004. The company's cement factory with production capacity of 1.5Mt/yr is the largest Saudi investment in Yemen.
