7451 FLSmidth has won a contract worth €68 million (DKK 507 million) from Nyumba Ya Akiba to supply a complete package of equipment and engineering for a greenfield cement plant in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The plant will be located in the province of Bas-Congo, approximately 250km west of the capital Kinshasa. 

Nyumba Ya Akiba is a joint venture between Pakistani Lucky Cement and the Rawji Group of the DRC. With both parties well established players in the cement industry and in the commercial sector of the DRC. FLSmidth has earlier only delivered selected equipment to Lucky Cement in Pakistan. 

The equipment to be supplied includes, among others, FLSmidth crushers, pyro processing equipment and vertical mills for raw meal, coal and cement grinding: all well-proven machinery that is characterised by high productivity, flexibility and energy efficiency. When completed, the cement plant will have a capacity of 3,000tonnes/day.   

“In addition to its enormous mineral resources, the DRC is characterised by growing stability and a rapidly increasing population, and is therefore in urgent need for cement for development of infrastructure and housing,” says Per Mejnert Kristensen, president of the Cement Division.

“For the past 40 years no new cement plants have been constructed in the republic, which is therefore a very interesting market for FLSmidth.”

The order will be booked by the Cement Division and contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until early 2016.
