Our 1.5mta plant in Ndola, 271km from Lusaka opened in the second quarter of 2015. The plant produces 42.5-grade cement to compete against the lower-grade but dominant 32.5 products in the market. Aside from selling into local markets in the Copperbelt region, it will export cement to the mining regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
Sustained economic growth will drive per-capita consumption upward from around 64kg at present.
The plant has reserves of more than 240 million tonnes of limestone.
Dangote Cement is of the highest quality and comparable to any quality cement brand in the world. Cement from Dangote’s modern factories is sold in 50 Kg bags, 1.5-tonne jumbo bags, and in bulk tankers. Stringent quality assurance processes are put in place so that customers can be assured of receiving a high-quality product that meets all the required technical standards.
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.
