Burkina Faso: Burkina Faso is set to build a new cement factory, Cimburkina, the result of a partnership with HeidelbergCement. The new cement plant, with a production capacity of 0.65Mt/yr, will require an estimated investment of about US$47.2m.
The Cimburkina cement plant will be completed by December 2013, the culmination of a partnership between two domestic businessmen, Inoussa Kanazoe and Moussa Koanda and the German cement giant. It is expected that the plant will double its output to 1.3Mt/yr in 2014.
