Successful Commissioning of the Second Maerz Lime Kiln for El Marakby Steel in Egypt

Following the announcement in July 2024 regarding the expansion of Uni Lime’s production facilities, Maerz Ofenbau AG is pleased to report the successful commissioning and start-up of the second Maerz PFR lime kiln for the lime division of El Marakby Steel in Cairo, Egypt. The new kiln has now entered stable operation, marking the successful completion of the project.

The idea to install a second, identical Maerz kiln had already grown during the realisation of the first unit, which has been operating reliably for more than five years. The first kiln laid the foundation for Uni Lime’s strong position in the Egyptian lime market. With the commissioning of the second kiln in December 2025, Uni Lime has further strengthened its production capacity and its ability to supply high-quality quicklime to the steel industry and related sectors.

Maerz Ofenbau AG would like to congratulate Uni Lime and El Marakby Steel on this important milestone and wishes them continued, successful business in the years to come. We thank our customer for the confidence placed in Maerz and look forward to further successful cooperation.

Do you have any suggestions on the topic or want to know more? I look forward to hearing from you.
