Aleppo, Dec 7 (SANA)– Coinciding with Liberation Day, Syria’s General Company for Cement and Building Materials “Omran” announced the launch of its new product, Pozzolanic Cement 42.5 – CEM II, during an official ceremony held at the company’s cement plant in the Sheikh Saeed district of Aleppo.
Mahmoud Fadila, Omran’s Director General, said the new cement type is the first industrial product to enter the Syrian market since the area’s liberation, describing it as a significant step toward restoring production capacity and strengthening the independence of the industrial sector.
According to Fadila, the new product is expected to reduce reliance on lower-quality imported cement and highlights the capabilities of Syrian technical and engineering teams, who have been working to rebuild the country’s industrial base and supply materials needed for reconstruction.
He added that the launch marks an early milestone in the post-liberation recovery phase and reflects Syria’s efforts not only to rebuild but also to innovate.
