“Foreign investment into Jordan should rise to $2 billion dinars ($2.82 billion) in 2010, aiding a steady economic recovery...” 25 Apr 2010, Reuters

Jordan is a hot investment bed for cement producers as the Kingdom has witnessed an increasing demand for cement due to its rapid construction boom. For that reason,  at CMT’s 5th Middle East CemenTrade conference, meeting in JORDAN on 20-21 September 2010, we’ve added the following special sessions covering construction and cement sector in Jordan:

• Jordan’s Mega Infrastructure Projects, Investment Challenges & Future of the Construction Sector
  Speaker: His Excellency Prof. Mohammed Taleb Obaidat, Minister – Ministry of Public Works & Housing

• Qatrana Cement Plant – Project Feasibility, Challenges & Changing the Supply Dynamics in Jordan
  Speaker: Rajan Killikurussi, Project Manager – Qatrana Cement (Subsidiary of Arabian Cement Company)

In addition to above, the 5th Middle East cementrade conference will also offer an Optional Site Visit to Qatrana Cement Plant (see details below)

The Qatrana Cement plant was established in 2007 in Karak, Southern Jordan with a total investment of 400 million dollars. The choice of location (about 90 Km South of Amman) is due to its relative distance from population density, in addition to the availability of limestone in this region, which is the basic material in cement manufacturing. The plant is expected to commence its operations in July 2010 with a production capacity of 5000 tons per day.
