In Cameroon, our 1.5Mta cement grinding facility, with a dedicated jetty for offloading clinker directly to the plant in Douala, opened in March 2015 as the first new entrant in Cameroon’s cement market in 40 years.
Currently, we import clinker from third party suppliers. In time, we plan to import clinker from our factories in Nigeria, which guarantee a higher-quality material. In Cameroon, clinker is ground with the local pozzolana additives and the primary product is bagged 42.5-grade cement.
Dangote Cement has set new standards by pioneering the 42.5R grade ‘Dangote 3X Cement’, which is designed to give more value to the end users. 3X is decoded to mean “Xtra strong, Xtra life and Xtra yield”. The new offering comes in a 50 Kg bag and is the first of its kind in Nigeria. Dangote 3X Cement is primarily aimed at preventing construction collapses due to usage of lower-grade cement apart from strengthening the quality of the brand.
The extra strength and rapid drying properties of the product makes it the first choice for builders and contractors. A bag of the new Dangote 3X Cement – 42.5R variety is rated as equivalent to one and half bag of the regular cement bag.
