Nigeria - Dangote Cement Plc in a statement has announced the commencement of operations at its new plant in Pout, Senegal to meet the cement needs of Senegal, Mali and the Gambia, among others.
Head of Dangote Industries, Senegal, Luk Haelterman, says the plant had gulped around $250m so far, while actual production and sales from it started on January 10, 2015.
“The new plant, located in the Pout district of Senegal, is about 75 kilometres from Dakar, the country’s capital, and has a nominal capacity to produce 4,000 metric tonnes per day and 1.2 million metric tonnes per annum. The plant is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs, with a total production capacity of 1.5 million metric tonnes annually,” the statement reads in part.
“Senegal is a market with over-capacity of cement, because it had two cement factories before now. But today, Dangote has become the biggest and best because we are producing the 42.5R grade only, which is better than what we met on ground, which is the 32.5R," it added
