President Ilham Aliyev said: “I keep saying that we must ensure employment of more local people. One need to be in touch with my representative and the ministry. Of course, your experienced employees will work in the first stage but they must be replaced with trained local staff only in a couple of years.
I know very well the history of Holcim’s coming here. I remember when then-head of Holcim came up to me with such a proposal in Davos. I agreed right away and the plant was built in a short span of time. After that, the interest in cement production grew in Azerbaijan. Until then, we imported cement. Today, we have a competition and this is very good. However, Holcim maintains product quality either way.”
The head of state laid the foundation stone for the plant.
