Holcim Morocco counts on the IT-Logistic Solution VAS After the implementation of VAS in the Holcim plants in the Philippines and Indonesia, the IT-Logistic Solution was implemented successful in Morocco by Holcim for the first time. The pilot installation was undertaken in the cement plant Settat, which is located between Casablanca and Marrakesh. The project was carried out on the basis of the „Global Frame-work Agreement“, that Holcim and Axians have sealed two years ago. Since June, the VAS system runs successfully. The start of production was realized in the second quarter of the current year. After the successful implementation in Settat, the Moroccon Holcim plants in Oujda, Fes and Nador are supposed to be the next plants to be equipped with VAS.
