The cement industry is the largest branch of the building materials industry. Manufactures Portland cement, putssolan portland cement, stone portland cement, slate, asbestos cement pipes, gypsum, clay and other products. Cement was first discovered in 1824 in Portland, south of England. Nearby (hence the name "Portland cement") was burned a mixture of lime and soil added in certain proportions by the English inventor J. Asp-din. Beginning in the 1930s, cement plants began to be built in Britain, the United States, Russia, and Germany. By the 1970s, cement marked the beginning of the development of world construction techniques and led to the discovery of precast concrete. During the 20th century, the cement industry in the developed countries of the world grew rapidly, and the total volume of cement i.ch. t (1998). Construction of the first cement plant in Central Asia, Khilkovo (now Bekabad), began in 1913. In 1926, the enterprise was restarted. In 1932, the Quvasoy cement plant began to produce cement of various brands. Since the 1950s, these enterprises have been expanded and converted to k-ts, where in addition to cement, slate, lime, asbestos-cement pipes are used i.ch. was established. In order to meet the growing demand of the national economy for cement, in 1962 the annual capacity was 1.7 million tons. The Ahangaron Cement Plant, with an annual design capacity of 3.4 million tons, was built in 1976. The first stage of the Navoi cement plant with an annual capacity of 1,150,000 tons has been commissioned. By the mid-1970s, the cement industry produced 3,536,000 tons of various brands of cement.

Since the mid-1990s, the enterprises of the sector have been transformed into joint-stock companies, reconstructed and equipped with foreign technologies. The Uzbek-British joint venture Ahangaron Colored Cement was established under the Ahangaron Cement Joint Stock Company (1995). In Kyzylkumsement JSC (former Navoi Cement Plant) i.ch. measures have been taken to fully utilize their potential. In the construction of hydraulic and underground facilities in the cement industry of Uzbekistan, cement used in high humidity and freezing conditions, the durability and durability of cement and high quality concrete make it waterproof and durable. It produces acid-resistant M400 and M500 Portland cement, Portland cement used in the construction of roads and airports, tampon cement used in drilling oil and gas wells, as well as putssolan cement, lime and crushed lime, slate, construction gypsum, mineral wool and others. . In 2003, the enterprises of the cement industry of Uzbekistan produced 4062.5 thousand tons of cement, 313.7 mln. conventional slate slabs were produced (3926.7 thousand tons of cement in 2002, respectively; 298.8 million conventional slate slabs). Products of the Republican Cement Industry are exported abroad. From foreign countries, USA, Germany, Italy, Japan and France cement i.ch. is a world leader inThe cement industry is the largest branch of the building materials industry.
