Cemex’s contribution to the Grand Egyptian Museum Honors Egypt’s Timeless Civilization
5/11/25

As the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) opens its doors to the world, Cemex Egypt proudly reflects on its role as one of the earliest supporters of one of the century's most significant cultural projects. The company’s involvement in this national landmark demonstrates its long-standing commitment to Egypt, its heritage, and its future.

From the early stages of development, Cemex recognized the monumental importance of the GEM.

Antonio Diaz, President of Cemex Egypt & UAE, stated:

"It is a profound honor for us at Cemex to have contributed to the Grand Egyptian Museum. From the very beginning, we believed in this project—not only as a monumental architectural achievement, but as a tribute to the spirit of Egypt. Our contribution reflects our commitment to this nation, to its people, and to preserving a heritage that continues to inspire the world."

Cemex Egypt was among the first private sector partners to support the construction of the museum. This participation underscores the company’s belief in supporting projects that carry cultural, historical, and developmental value.

On this occasion, Cemex Egypt extends its sincere congratulations to everyone who contributed to the realization of this inspiring project, and to the Egyptian people, for whom the Museum represents a source of national pride and a symbol of the greatness of a civilization that shaped history and continues to inspire the world.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is not merely an exceptional architectural achievement; it is a living testament to a civilization that established the foundations of humanity, and a cultural beacon for future generations.
