News Dangote Cement commences operations in Senegal and Cameroon

Dangote Cement commences operations in Senegal and Cameroon

Senegal/Cameroon: Dangote Cement's new plants in Senegal and Cameroon have commenced operations. Dangote Cement plants in Ethiopia and Zambia are expected to start production in April 2015.

The new Senegalese plant in Pout has a total production capacity of 1.5Mt/yr. With the new plant, Dangote Cement hopes to meet local demand and serve the export market demand of 2Mt/yr.

Country head of Dangote Industries Senegal, Luk Haelterman, disclosed that the group has invested about US$300m in the cement plant. He added that production and sales started on 10 January 2015. "Senegal is a market with overcapacity of cement, because it had two cement plants already. Dangote has become the biggest and best because we produce only 42.5R grade cement, which is better than 32.5R grade cement product there," said Haelterman.
