PPC Cement

PPC Ltd. (PPC) established the first cement plant in South Africa in 1892, and listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1910. A leading supplier of cement and related products in southern Africa, PPC Ltd has nine cement factories and four milling depots in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and most recently Rwanda with a current capacity to produce around eight and a half million tons of cement products each year. As part of its strategy and long-term plan to more than double its business every 10 years, PPC is expanding its operations in existing markets including South Africa and Zimbabwe, and extending its footprint into the DRC and Ethiopia. The recent acquisitions of Safika Cement, Pronto Readymix (including Ulula Ash) and 3Q Mahuma Concrete form part of the company’s channel management strategy for South Africa. As a result of these acquisitions, PPC’s footprint has grown to include 26 readymix batching plants across South Africa and Mozambique. PPC also produces aggregates, metallurgical-grade lime, burnt dolomite, and limestone, with PPC’s Mooiplaas aggregates quarry in Gauteng having the largest aggregate production capacity in South Africa.
