Vassiliko Cement Works highlights how in Cyprus is more than tourism and farming, building also on processing, logistics and specialist manufacturing. One of the largest industrial plants in Cyprus, a major producer of cement for local and international markets. The site sits within a network of small family-run firms, modern food and construction-material facilities, energy and craft workshops, supported by a steadily digitising infrastructure and clear environmental rules.
