Tunisia

Uniland’s entry in Tunisia in 1998 represented a big step in the Group’s international expansion.The growth of the local market, as well as the country’s strategic geographic location (in the Mediterranean basin and the Maghreb) – and therefore of the synergies there could be with Spain from a geographic standpoint – were key factors in the decision to invest. Based on the Tunisian government’s commitment before the global community to advance in liberalising the country’s economy, and particularly the cement industry, future development should continue to progress positively, in step with the growth of our business and investments in the country.

The Uniland Group has a cement factory, an aggregate quarry and 4 concrete plants, and leads the Tunisian market through Société des Ciments d’Enfidha, in which it holds a 88% stake, the remaining 12% being held by the Islamic Development Bank. In September of 2003, this company set up a second clinker production line which places us at the forefront of the country’s production capacity. In concrete, Select Béton (a company owned by Société des Ciments d’Enfidha) leads the sector.
