This company is recognized as one of the active entities in investing in the cement industry and related sectors.

PIDMCO, as one of the executive and engineering arms of the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Group, has completed over 28 projects with an investment of more than $15 billion and is managing 25 active projects valued at over $11 billion.
