LafargeHolcim in talks with PPC

Print this page

South Africa/Switzerland: LafargeHolcim says it is in talks with the board of directors of Pretoria Portland Cement (PPC) regarding a possible transaction in Africa. It added that no agreement with PPC has yet been reached and no assurance could be given at this stage that a transaction will materialise.

Canada’s Fairfax Financial Holdings with AfriSam made an offer for PPC in early September 2017. However, PPC said that the offer was ‘undervalued.’ Nigerian company Dangote Cement has also said that it is interested in buying PPC for the ‘right’ price.
