CAMEROON: CIMAF Inaugurates Cement Plant

A production plant belonging to cement producer Afrique Ciment (CIMAF), a subsidiary of the Moroccan group Addoha located in the industrial area of Bonaberi in Douala has been inagurated by the Prime Minister, Philemon Yang.

During the inauguration, the President of Addoha Group, Anas Sefrioui, who made the trip to Cameroon expressed satisfaction that his firm is “contributing to the development of intra-African cooperation.”

The commissioning of the plant comes nearly a year after the start of cement production by the plant with a current capacity of 500,000 tons per year.

Over CFA 20 billion francs was invested for the cement project to take off after the first foundation stone was laid in 2012.

In recent months, the locally made cement bags with CIMAF insignias are being sold in Cameroon and the Central African region which contributes to strengthening the supply of the building material.

Other cement producers in Cameroon include the Cement of Cameroon (CIMENCAM) a subsidiary of the French group Lafarge and Dangote Group (DCM).
