Background

The Rastan Cement Plant first opened in 1958, with a single wet production line. The plant was shuttered for eight years during the Syrian Civil War before restarting grinding production at a capacity of 300 tonnes per day in 2021. As of 2024, one grinder was operating, but there were no plans to restart the old clinker kiln.
