The start of operations is planned for early 2019. In 2013, thyssenkrupp had received an order for another 6,000 tpd cement plant from GICA.
Stefan Gesing, acting CEO of the Industrial Solutions business area of thyssenkrupp said, "This large order again proves that long-term customer relationships pay off. Combining our technological competence with a strong presence in growth regions allows us to support the infrastructure development in many emerging markets. Our strength is to provide customers with reliable and tailor-made plant solutions, components and services from one single source."
In order to meet the growing demand for cement and in line with import substitution, GICA (Groupe Industriel des Ciments d’Algerie) has launched several projects to increase its cement production capacity from 12 million tonnes to 20 million tonnes per year by 2019.
From raw material preparation to cement packaging and loading facilities, thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions will provide all key equipment, construction and supervision services including commissioning for the new production line.
