In less than a year, Cameroon will have a new Lafarge-Holcim cement plant. These words are from Pierre Damnon,

on formerly the General Manager of the Cameroon Cement Factory (Cimencam), a local subsidiary of the group, who officially handed over his chair to Benoît Galichet on July 9, 2018.

With a production capacity of 500,000 tons per year, the new cement plant, located in the village of Nomayos (in the center of the country), will bring to 2 million tons, the overall production capacity of Cimencam which lost the monopoly of the market with the arrival of Dangote Cement in 2015.

According to the chairman of the board of this industrial unit, the Cameroonian Pierre Moukoko Mbonjo, the plant should go into production at the beginning of the year next. It will have required an investment of 23 billion CFA francs, with important tax and customs exemptions (5 to 10 years), both during the installation and production phases.

Note that this is in 2016 that the State of Cameroon and Lafarge-Holcim have signed the investment agreement on this project.
