ZAO Oskolcement is the largest cement producer in Russia and one of top three cement producing facilities in country by production volume.

Oskolcement is based on former Starooskol cement plant. The plant was built in two phases according to the project developed by Yuzhgiprocement institute (Kharkiv). Between 1969 and 1974, four lines were commissioned with 5x185 m kilns with combined annual capacity of 2.4 million tons of cement. Between 1974 and 1976, two additional lines were built with 5x185 and combined annual capacity of 1.3 million tons of cement.

Cement from Stary Oskol was used in construction of Baikonur Cosmodrome; Novovoronezh, Kursk and Kalinin Nuclear Power Plants, sports facilities built for Moscow 1980 Olympic Games, a number of defense facilities and many other construction projects.

Sufficient reserves of environmentally clean raw materials, fine-tuned production process, strict quality control and high capacity of manufacturing equipment allow producing high-quality and environmentally clean products.

The plant uses Haver&Boecker and Boimer&Boimer line to package cement in paper sacks and shrink film. The line can handle up to 90 tons of cement per hour and load the packaged product into box cars, gondolas and trucks. In addition to that, two more paper-sack packaging lines were commissioned with capacity of 60 tons/hour each. These lines support loading packaged product in railcars and trucks. Finally, special equipment was installed to package cement in 1.0 and 1.5 ton Big Bag soft containers. Its annual capacity is 200 thousand tons.

Since 2002, ZAO Oskolcement uses quality management system conforming to the international ISO 9000 Standard. Efficient use and continuous development of this system to address new customer requirements helped create proper conditions to produce the highest-quality products. All electric filters in rotary kilns use coagulating chargers ensuring permanent compliance with emission limits. The plant is installing bag collectors on cement mill feeders, replacing bag collectors in cement silos with modern models and continuing to plant trees in resoiled areas.

The plant produces the following cement grades: PC 400-D0, PC 500-D0, PC 400-D20, PC 500-D0-N, ShPC 400 (GOST) as well as СEM I – 52,5N and CEM I – 42,5R (EN 197).
