Angote to open new cement plant in cong
You're referring to Angoulême Ciments, a French cement company, opening a new cement plant in the Congo!
According to recent reports, Angoulême Ciments has announced plans to invest around €150 million in a new cement plant in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The plant, which is expected to be operational by 2025, will have a production capacity of 1.2 million tons of cement per year.
The new plant will be located in the city of Lubumbashi, in the southeastern part of the DRC, and will create around 200 jobs during the construction phase and 50 permanent jobs once the plant is operational.
The investment is part of Angoulême Ciments' strategy to expand its presence in the African market, where demand for cement is growing rapidly due to infrastructure development and urbanization. The company already has operations in several African countries, including the DRC, where it has been present since 2011.
The new plant will help to meet the growing demand for cement in the DRC, which is one of the most populous countries in Africa. The plant will also contribute to the development of the local economy by providing employment opportunities and supporting the construction of infrastructure projects.
It's worth noting that the project is subject to regulatory approvals and environmental impact assessments, which are currently underway.
