Tanzania's development blueprint has found a renewed strength as Lake Cement Ltd. is set to commission Tanzania's first fully-integrated greenfield cement plant with an initial capacity of 500,000 tons per year. The plant is a one-of-its kind cement unit in Tanzania and is well poised to meet the rising demand of high quality cement in the country.
Spread across 100 hectares in Kimbiji Village, just 40 km south of Dar-Es-Salaam port, the plant is equipped with a 10 MW captive power generating unit to ensure continuous power supply and thereby uninterrupted production of consistent quality cement round the year. The company, which has also got its own high grade limestone mines to produce clinker and cement, is expected to roll out 42.5 Grade high quality cement in Tanzanian markets.
The company is bringing innovative technologies to the country which will help address the demand-supply gap in the cement market.
The demand for cement in Tanzania is growing rapidly with infrastructural developments by both government and private sectors. The existing estimated installed production capacity of cement in Tanzania is 3.5 million tons per annum against the demand of 4 million tons. Lake Cement aims to help bridge this gap.
Lake Cement Ltd. is backed by a 50 year manufacturing legacy of its promoter Group in businesses such as Automotive Ancillaries, Heat Exchangers, Plastics, Extra Neutral Alcohol, liquid Carbon Di oxide, Resins& Emulsions .It has production plants in India, Netherlands, France, England, Spain Tanzania and Dubai. The company hence leverages the manufacturing experience, knowledge expertise and innovation focus of the Group's management and operations teams; across industries and geographies.
