Print this page

Congo: Dangote Cement will officially open its 1.5Mt/yr capacity cement plant in Congo on Thursday 23 November 2017. Constructed for around US$500m, the plant is expected to directly employ more than 1000 people, while thousands of indirect jobs will also be created. The plant, which is now the largest in Congo, rolled out its first bag of cement on 7 August 2017. The company's third quarter unaudited results showed that the Congo plant, which recently began operations, has almost doubled cement capacity of the country.

The Congo plant commissioning will bring the number of Dangote Cement’s fully operational plants across Africa to 10. The company is currently active in 17 African countries.
