PPC to focus on consolidation in South Africa and expansion abroad

South Africa: Peter Nelson, the chairman of PPC, says that the company is not interested in merger or acquisition activity. Instead the cement producer will focus on its current business strategy by development projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, executing its ‘mega plant’ plan in South Africa and making further efficiency drives in its subdued domestic market. In an interview with Reuters he described talks with LafargeHolcim about a potential takeover as ones that, “…fell short on value”. "PPC is not looking to sell its assets, it's not looking to merge it's assets, it's looking to focus on its business, deliver cash flow and deliver shareholder value," said Nelson.
