Background

The Al-Muslimiyah Cement Plant opened in 1960 with a single production line. In the 1970s, the plant added two more production lines.

The plant was entirely destroyed during the Syrian Civil War. In 2025, under the new Syrian government, the plant was offered up for reinvestment and renovation, with plans for a clinker kiln of not less than 5,000 tonnes per day in capacity.
