New CBI Ghana cement plant

Work is set to start on a new cement works for 4481 CBI Ghana at the Tema Free Zones Enclave, Ghana.

When complete, the CBI Ghana plant would produce premium cement under the brand name Supacem.

Frédéric Albrecht, managing director, CBI said in a statement: “We intend to produce and supply high-quality Supacem cement to Ghanaian builders and stabilise cement supply for all required grades in Ghana.”

“The production of Supacem at the new factory will create hundreds of jobs directly and indirectly. Indeed, CBI is proud of its contribution to Ghana’s job creation agenda through manufacturing,” it said.

Kobby Adams, commercial director at CBI Ghana, a 8161 LafargeHolcim affiliate, said: “Our Supacem factory will be state-of-the-art; built to the highest global standards, with priority given to safety, low-emissions, and environmental friendliness.”

“Supacem is high-quality Ghanaian cement, supported by the highest global standards of LafargeHolcim, the leading cement manufacturer globally,” he said.

The CBI Ghana statement said the 32.5R grade supacem would meet Ghana Standards Board’s GS 1118 and EN 197 quality standards.
