Ohlsdorf/Benghazi (23 January 2012). The Asamer Group’s three plants in Libya are going back into operation. Asamer is one of the first companies after the oil industry to resume work following the end of the unrest. Neither the Benghazi and Hawari cement plants (both outside of Benghazi) nor Al-Fataiah (in Derna) sustained any damages. The factories were hence able to resume operations earlier than anticipated.
