HeidelbergCement eyes capacity expansion in South Africa, Mozambique

Posted on : 30 Mar, 2015

 

German cement producer, HeidelbergCement AG, is planning to expand into South Africa and Mozambique with new cement production capacities in these two countries.

 

The world's third-biggest cement maker sees Africa as an important market as there is stable growth in demand for cement in the last few years - demand increasing at approximately 5 million metric tons per year.

 

The German company has recently opened a $50 million grinding plant in the West African country - Ouagadougou that will produce 700,000 metric tons of cement per year. The new capacity expansion in Burkina Faso will help Heidelberg's annual capacity in Africa to about 10 million tons. Heidelberg is also building a $300 million clinker facility in Togo that will help with raw material supply to the Burkina Faso grinding plant.

 

HeidelbergCement has cement production capacity in Ghana, Benin, Liberia, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Togo and Democratic Republic of Congo.

 

Apart from Heidelberg, many cement manufacturers have targeted the high cement demand in Africa. Nigeria's cement major - Dangote Cement Plc is the continent's biggest producer of the building material. Dangote has ambitious plans of expanding operations into 14 African countries apart from its stronghold on the home market - Nigeria. It has plans of investing about $4 billion to boost capacity to 50 million tons by the end of 2015.

 

Meanwhile, in South Africa, PPC Ltd. and AfriSam are aiming to merge the country's two biggest cement makers in order to boost expansion in the region.

 

7th Africa CemenTrade Summit on 14-15 April, 2015 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia will feature several discussions led by cement majors like - HeidelbergCement AG, Dangote Cement Plc, Tanzania Portland Cement Company Ltd (Twiga Cement), East African Portland Cement Co Ltd, Savannah Cement Ltd, ARM Cement and many others.
