The agreement on the project implementation was signed in the presence of the Prime Ministers of Uzbekistan and Russia by the board chairman of the "Uzstroymaterialy" Botir Zaripov and chairman of the board of directors of Eurocement Group Filaret Galchev.
The new plant will become the largest cement enterprise in the region and be equipped with high-tech equipment mainly from European manufacturers, according to the press service of Eurocement Group.
