Qatar National Cement Company: Leading Cement Producer in Qatar
Qatar National Cement Company (QNCC) has been a cornerstone of Qatar’s construction industry since its establishment in 1965. As a leading producer of cement, lime, and washed sand, QNCC was created to meet the nation’s growing infrastructure demands. Today, it supplies an array of high-quality products, including Sulphate Resistant Cement, Hydrated Lime, Calcined Lime, and Washed Sand, catering to a broad spectrum of construction needs.
QNCC’s operational units are strategically located in Umm Bab and Al-Boaadiat, areas chosen for their rich deposits of raw materials. These locations allow Qatar National Cement Company to maintain a consistent and efficient supply chain, a crucial factor in the company’s ability to produce up to 14,500 tons of cement per day and 11,000 tons of clinker. Umm Bab, located 82 km from Doha, houses multiple cement plants and two sand washing plants with a total washing capacity of 20,000 tons per day, further supporting Qatar’s construction boom.
The company’s dedication to modernization is reflected in its historical achievements. Starting with a 100,000-ton production line in 1969, QNCC has steadily expanded its facilities, ceaselessly advancing its manufacturing capabilities. By February 2022, Qatar National Cement Company had grown to operate five cement plants, although its oldest facility, Plant 1, was decommissioned due to age. With its high capacity and cutting-edge technology, QNCC stands out as a leader in quality and production efficiency.
QNCC’s financial stability and strategic investments contribute to its robust growth and appeal to stakeholders. The company’s focus on innovation and quality ensures that it meets the highest standards in the industry. Additionally, Qatar National Cement Company provides state-of-the-art facilities for its employees, including housing, recreational clubs, and a health center, fostering a strong sense of community within the company.
As Qatar continues to develop its infrastructure, QNCC remains committed to supplying the market with essential, high-quality construction materials. With its strategic location, extensive expertise, and unwavering dedication to excellence, QNCC is well-positioned to support Qatar’s growth for decades to come.
