Sotacib has an annual production capacity of 350,000t of white cement in its Feriana plant.
The company exports to Algeria, Libya and France and is currently constructing a second production line which will double its production from the first quarter of 2009.
Sotacib has a project with the necessary authorisations for the construction of a grey cement plant in Kairouan. The plant will have a capacity to produce one million metric tonnes of grey cement and is expected to be opened in the middle of 2010. Published under Cement News
