Misr Cement Group have manufactured cement and concrete products for over 25 years, with a range of products including: Portland cement, sulphate resistant cement, ready-mix concrete, and blended pozzolanic materials

The group works towards operating with a minimal environmental impact, by incorporating sustainable projects into its processes to protect and replenish the environment surrounding its facilities in Upper Egypt. Projects include the launch of environmentally friendly products, planting of trees in the surrounding areas of its plants, safely discarding cement waste, minimal water waste and air filtration systems.

Misr Cement Group is committed to their Corporate Social Responsibility. Being close to the local community, the Group was able to identify the key pillars that now shape its CSR strategy. Some of these initiatives include building cooperation with universities and schools in upper Egypt governorates that aim to support vocational education, reduce the gap between academia and corporate and provide scholars, technical & research calibres with internship programs in institutions affiliated to the Group and the designated universities.

In order to promote nature conservation, Misr Cement Group cooperated with hospitals and governorates to collect solid waste and implement ways to manage and recycle it as substitutes for fuel used in the production process and lower the carbon footprint. Misr Cement Group also organised blood donation campaigns to give back to the community.
