The expansion project is established at Takoradi and the company’s current plant at Tema will be completed in 14 months and 3 months.

The Tema begun while the Takoradi project is still at the foundation stage. When completed its annual production will increase to 3 million tonnes.

The expansion of Dangote plant comes in the wake of rising cement prices, which is selling at GH˘32 for a bag in Accra and GH˘35 in other regions of the country.

The expansion would increase the current 500 employment opportunity at the Tema Plant to 1,000, while Takoradi would provide 1,200 direct and indirect employments to Ghanaians.

The company’s vision is to reach 3 million customers in 3 years and the company is working hard to achieve that.
