*Click on the map to enlarge | Italcementi Group operates in Morocco through Ciments du Maroc with 3 cement plants in Ait Baha, Safi and Marrakech, 1 grinding center in Laayoune, 4 quarries and 26 concrete batching plants. Since the acquisition of Asmar in 1999, Ciments du Maroc (listed at the Casablanca Stock Exchange in 1969 and set up in 1992 through the merger of Cimasfi and Ciments d’Agadir) has been the second largest cement manufacturer in Morocco and has become the first Moroccan concrete producer through controlled Betomar.
At the beginning of 2011 the new cement plant in Ait Baha has begun its operations. The total investment amount of this new cement plant, with an annual production capacity up to 2,2 Mt, is about € 310 million.
Today, after the closure of Agadir plant, the annual production capacity of Ciments du Maroc is about 3,3 Mt of clinker and 5,1 Mt of cement.
On October, 21st 2011 Italcementi Group inaugurated the wind park in Laayoune in the presence of the Secretary General to the Morocco’s Ministry of Energy, Mines, Water and Environment, Mr. Mohammed Yahya Zniber, the CEO of Italcementi, Mr. Carlo Pesenti, and the General Manager of Ciments du Maroc, Mr Mohamed Chaibi. The wind farm, realized thanks to Italgen know-how and with a total investment of 100 million dirham, is located in the area of the Indusaha grinding center in Laayoune.
As an extension of its energy policy, that is strongly innovative and sustainable, a pilot plant for the production of thermal-solar energy is being built in the area of the new cement plant in Ait Baha. The challenging project, developed by Ciments du Maroc and Italgen Maroc in collaboration with the Swiss company Airlight Energy Group, exploits the Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technology, aimed at the production of electricity using the solar energy.
