Kaspi Cement Plant

Industrial site
The Kaspi cement plant is located in the Shida Kartli region and is one of Georgia's largest and oldest industrial enterprises. Founded in the 1920s, it was a central pillar of the construction industry in the Caucasus during the Soviet era. Today, the plant is operated by HeidelbergCement Georgia (part of the Kavkasmet group) and has undergone extensive modernization in recent years. One of the most significant investments was the construction of a new dry-line production facility, which significantly increased efficiency and reduced environmental impact through modern filtration systems. The plant meets a large portion of the domestic demand for high-quality cement used in infrastructure projects, residential construction, and dams. Kaspi is a vital local employer and contributes significantly to the economic development of the town and its surroundings. Its strategic location along Georgia's main railway line allows for the efficient transport of raw materials and finished products throughout the country.
