Hima Cement to build US$40m grinding plant in Uganda

Uganda: Hima Cement plans to build a grinding plant at Nyakesi, Tororo district at a cost of US$40m to meet demand for local infrastructure projects and for regional markets. The plant will be built near to the plant of Hima’s competitor, Tororo Cement. It will add an additional 1Mt/yr of cement production capacity to the company.

"Hima Cement is committed to ensuring sufficient cement capacity to serve the national infrastructure and construction projects, individuals and the commercial sector. As a result, we are embarking on several capacity building projects, starting with the construction of a grinding plant at the end of 2016,” said Daniel Pettersson, the CEO of Hima Cement. He added that the company is also in the final stages of exploration for a limestone site in North East Uganda to support a future clinker plant.

In 2010, Hima Cement invested US$120m towards building a new production line at its plant in Kasese. This project increased the plant’s production capacity to 0.9Mt/yr. On completion, the Tororo expansion will further increase Hima Cement's capacity to around 1.9Mt/yr.
