Who we are - CEMTECH GLOBAL Cement

Cemtech Global Engineering Inc. is a global turnkey contractor and operator of industrial plants for the production of cement, gypsum, fly ash, and clay-based construction materials. In addition to constructing and operating several cement plants, we have established ourselves as a long-term supplier of spare parts and bulk raw materials.

Our head office is located in Ankara, Turkey, with operational offices and branches in the Netherlands, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Senegal, and the USA. Although Cemtech Global Engineering Inc. is a relatively young company, it boasts over 30 years of international engineering experience through its founders.

We have established a presence in Cameroon, France, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Mozambique, Portugal, Senegal, Tunisia, and Turkey by constructing industrial plants.

A recent employee survey highlighted our company's core strengths: reliability, agility, and flexibility. These attributes are complemented by our extensive engineering experience.

If we were to personify our company, we would describe it as a community-minded, highly skilled professional—a marathoner and entrepreneurial father in the prime of his life.

Our Purpose

We aim to become renowned for our core philosophy, our actions, and our way of working, earning the praise of everyday people who speak highly of Cemtech.

We challenge the status quo in the cement sector by thinking differently and simplifying processes in our innovative projects that reduce not only the material costs but also the environmental impact. In the countries where we operate, our goal is to enhance competitiveness in the cement and building materials sectors, making it possible for families to affordably shelter themselves under one roof.

As a company that goes beyond turn-key contracting by creating its own projects and businesses, we nurture the factories we establish as if they were our own children, always striving to meet their needs.

We conduct all our activities with happiness as our foremost goal. Recognizing personal happiness as an evolutionary truth achievable only through deep human connections and empathetic consideration of others' well-being, we earnestly aim to bring happiness not only to ourselves but also to our employees, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which we operate.

Our journey, so far...

From our head office in Ankara, Turkey, and operational branches in the Netherlands, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Senegal, and the USA, we have established a presence across the globe. Our journey began with two engineers targeting consultancy jobs from ready-mix concrete plants. Over the years, we have grown into a major player in the cement industry, known for our turn-key projects and long-term supply of spare parts and raw materials.

1999	A nine-day-long training at the Technical University of Denmark was pivotal in transforming our professional outlook. This experience made us acutely aware of our potential beyond the constraints of being averagely educated engineers in a developing country, sparking a profound desire to surpass these limits.
2001	We embarked on our first partnership, establishing a fly ash factory in Soma, Turkey. Though initially small, this venture marked the beginning of our journey as investors, leading to numerous other fly ash plants.
2003	We initiated our first consultancy business for a cement grinding center in Turkey, laying the groundwork for our future endeavors in the cement industry.
2006	Our first international business venture took place in Portugal, involving the supply and installation of two ball mills and two separators. This year also saw our first shipload of natural pozzolan exported from Turkey, marking the start of continuous and increasing exportation.
2010	We expanded into Africa, partnering as a turn-key constructor and operator of a 20 tph cement grinding center in Maputo, Mozambique. This project was the first of seven cement grinding plants and a calcined clay plant we established in Africa over the next decade.
2011	We began a nine-year chain of cement grinding center investments in Conakry, Guinea, in partnership with local entities, marking a significant period of growth and expansion.
2018	We developed Africa's first integrated calcined clay and cement grinding center project, which was later handed over to one of the leading cement groups as a turn-key project.
2021	We ventured into the gypsum industry, developing our first gypsum plaster and gypsum board project in Ivory Coast, followed shortly by projects in Senegal and Cameroon.
2022	We made our first entry into the US market, focusing on supplying construction materials and developing cement projects. Additionally, we completed all permits and formalities for the 2 million tpy capacity Ulukışla Cement Factory Project in Turkey.
2023-2024	These years marked the expansion of our business from Africa to Europe and America. Our bulk material and building elements supply contracts to the USA have now exceeded a volume of $60 million USD.
