Cement manufacturer Hima has today announced it is embarking on a capacity expansion strategy that will start with the construction of a Grinding Station in Tororo, Eastern Uganda, in the first phase.
The US$ 40 million investment in Nyakesi, Rubongi will lead to an additional 1 million metric tons of cement capacity for the company.
Addressing journalists at a media breakfast at the Kampala Serena Hotel, Hima Cement Limited Country CEO, Daniel Pettersson said, “The aim of the capacity expansion drive is to meet the increasing demand for cement and concrete not only within Uganda but the regional market as well. We are committed to ensuring sufficient cement capacity to serve the national infrastructure and construction projects, individuals and the commercial sector. As a result, we are embarking on several capacity building projects starting with the construction of a Grinding Station at the end of 2016.
