en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of the Chechen Republic in Russia, recently received the first-class Medal for Special Contribution to the Development of the Cement Industry of the Russian Federation. The award was presented by a delegation from the Russian Cement Producers Union during an official visit to the region. Darya Martinkina, the Union's Executive Director, conferred the cement industry medal upon Kadyrov. Kadyrov announced this news through his Telegram channel, but the specific criteria for the honor were not detailed.

The meeting between Kadyrov and industry representatives focused on plans for the modernization and expansion of the Chechen cement plant. Attendees included Vladimir Zarudny, head of the Elektrostal Heavy Engineering Plant, and Abdul-Khamid Baibetirov, CEO of the Chechen Cement Plant. During the visit, Kadyrov led the delegation on a tour of the industrial site where a new high-tech facility is under construction, with approximately 90% of the main work already completed.

The new plant is designed using a dry production process and is expected to produce up to 1 million tons of cement annually. Upon completion, this cement industry facility will become one of the more technologically advanced plants in Russia. Kadyrov stated that the project holds special significance as it is the first dry-process cement plant in Russia built entirely by domestic manufacturers without the involvement of companies from unfriendly countries. The Chechen Cement Plant, located near the city of Shali in the Chechen Republic, is a core enterprise of the region's cement industry. Its existing production line uses a wet process, and the construction of the new dry-process line will significantly enhance the region's cement production capacity and efficiency.

The Russian Cement Producers Union is a nationwide industry organization for the Russian cement industry, representing the interests of cement producers at the federal level. The Union's Executive Director, Martinkina, conducted an on-site inspection of the progress of the Chechen cement plant expansion. Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel: "I am pleased to receive the first-class medal from Darya Martinkina. I thank her for the high appraisal of our work. We will do everything possible to ensure the successful implementation of the planned projects and the further development of the industry."
