Bahrain's first cement company has been founded in response to growing cement consumption, which is a direct result of the kingdom's booming construction and real estate sectors. The $45 million project is an industrial venture between Khaleej Finance and Investment (KFI) and Bahrain Motor Company (BMC).

 

Construction of phase one of the project is expected to start in the first quarter of next year, the GDN reported.
