• The Tourah Portland Cement Company, Egypt’s first cement company, was established in 1927. The company, which is 66.12 percent owned by Suez Cement Company, began its operations with a production capacity of four million tons of clinker per year. Today, the company produces nearly four million tons of cement annually. Tourah Cement owned the most ancient gypsum quarry, where the stones of the pyramids originated. The company was the first in Egypt to use the dry method in the cement industry. It was also the first to modernize its lines by reusing wet kilns to get rid of bypass dust. In addition to the decrease of dust emissions, this method led to production increases. In June 2006, Tourah Cement received the API quality certification for producing oil well cement.
