Algerian Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal has carried out an inspection of the extension project of the Ain El Kebira cement factory in the Sétif province of Algeria. Due to be completed by the October 2016, the extension will allow the factory to go from a production capacity of 1.3 million tonnes to 3.3 million tonnes/year. Sellal reportedly considers that, once the extension works are complete, Algeria will no longer have to import cement, with national cement exports possible by 2018.
