President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedov, on Wednesday attended the grand opening ceremony of the second phase of the Baharden Cement Plant, with an annual capacity of 1 million tons of cement.
As reported by Turkmenistan's official media, in accordance with the decree of the Head of State, the second phase of the industrial facility was constructed by the individual enterprise Beýik-Bina.
The project involved the collaboration of the largest German engineering company, KHD Humboldt Wedag, which supplies equipment and provides services, including process design and project management, for the global cement industry.
The new plant is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery from leading global manufacturers, enabling the production of high-quality cement grades such as PC-400, PC-500, PC-600, and sulfate-resistant Portland cement.
The Baharden Cement Plant, commissioned in February 2005, is one of the largest of its kind in the Central Asian region.
