The head of Semnan Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture announced the new approach to processing gypsum products in construction panels and said: Semnan province is the largest and most important gypsum producer in the country.
Ali Asghar Jomeh stated in a specialized meeting of gypsum industries held by the Semnan Chamber and the province’s University of Applied Sciences: The history of gypsum in Semnan province goes back many years. This industry has developed a lot during these years and most gypsum production units are still exporters.
The economic activist added: “Gypsum processing is used in building panels in a modern way these days.” We are trying to replace gypsum with other building materials with new processing. It is very important that gypsum is already used and exploited in other industries in addition to construction materials.
