The company was established by a group of investors to construct Portland Cement Plant, with an annual capacity of 3.2 million ton, in addition to providing necessary infrastructure and utilities through a project, which is considered one of the greatest industrial and investment projects in the Syrian Arab Republic.

The company has outsourced the establishment of the plant to one to the most important international companies involved with the cement factories under the supervision of consulting firms with high qualifications. Construction work started on the first-line with an annual production capacity of 1.6 million tons in September of 2008, and was completed in December of 2010, ahead of the set operation date at the highest levels of achievement and under the contracted conditions. The plant's basic equipment has been imported from international European companies to ensure the highest levels of cement quality and savings in energy use, along with decreasing environmental impacts so as to be within the local and international regulations and standards.

The company will provide 360 work opportunities, training and rehabilitation of national staff, who are highly trained and skilful. It would also provide the Syrian economy with a vital project that would contribute to the growth of the grand domestic production, in addition to creating hundreds of job opportunities, possible development to a number of local suppliers, contractors and service providers.
