The Gweru-based cement manufacturer, a joint venture between the Industrial Development Corporation and China Building Materials Corporation (CBMC), already has 22.5 grade masonry cement, which is recommended for masonry work, brick, mortar, plastering and general building and 32.5 grade portland composite cement, which is used for the construction of high strength structures.

Wang Yong, Managing Director of Sino Zimbabwe Cement Company, said that the company was now awaiting certification from the Standards Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ) before they could make the product available on the market. "We have already applied for the licence for us to introduce 42.5 grade cement on the market and I believe it will be issued after SAZ, which has already collected some samples, has certified the product," said Yong.
