The first factory was established in 1933 in Iran, at Share-rey district near Tehran. Its production capacity had been amounted to 100t/d. Industrial development, high population growth and needs for new constructions; all could support the growth of this industry. At present, there are 34 cement operating enterprises with estimated capacity of 94000t/d.
Nowadays, 23 more cement projects are under construction. Furthermore 6 cement factories have increased their production capacity.

Irans cement consumption per body is estimated 350kg comparing to the neighbouring countries this figure is quite high. However, in comparison with U.S.A and European countries, this shows low value. At present, cements demand is much higher than its supply, so that, its distribution has been rationalized. We strongly believe that in near future but not too far, especially within the scope of global trade, Iran is forecasted to stand as a center of cement production and export in the region whereas:

Vast supply and good quality of mineral resources in country.

Young , talented adn expert human resources

Low price of fuel

Cement production cost in Iran comparing to other neighbouring and European countries is very low. In fact, Iran possesses comparative advantages due to rich and favorable resources, low energy cost, skilled, unskilled and semi‑skilled labor force
