News PPC plans US$200m cement plant in DR Congo

PPC plans US$200m cement plant in DR Congo

South Africa:PPC (Pretoria Portland Cement Company) plans to build a 1Mt/yr plant costing US$200m in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to its chief executive in an interview with Reuters. The South African cement producer aims to make at least 40% of its sales outside of South Africa by 2016.

"By the last quarter of 2015 we should begin cement production almost simultaneously in Ethiopia, Rwanda and the DRC. Zimbabwe will probably be six to nine months later," said chief executive Ketso Gordhan. He added that PPC is also looking at opportunities in Zambia, Tanzania and Malawi.

PPC reported its interim results for the half-year ending on 31 March 2013 on 16 May 2013. Profit fell by 20% year-on-year to US434.8m but total revenue rose by 8% to US$409m. Gordhan added that rising cement sales volumes for the half-year had been tempered by low sales in Botswana.
