Certainty in cement Building our cement operations from the ground up has taught us more than just the technicalities of constructing a plant. It has entrenched a comraderie in our people, a certainty that nothing would get in the way of us entering the market, writes Pieter Fourie, Chief Executive of Sephaku Cement. As our Delmas cement plant goes online early in 2014 and Aganang in the North West becomes operational during the year, the face of the country’s cement industry will change, and there is no turning back. We have navigated our way through building leadership and operational teams from scratch, securing investors and safeguarding their investment, connecting with and involving communities, all the while designing and building the two plants.

Our entry into the market is based on belief in the long term sustainable growth of cement. Our country may have relatively good infrastructure but there is still a lot to be developed. Added to this, ageing production facilities has made production static at a time when it needs to be cost efficiently increased. Great competitiveness and cost efficiency lies in the state-of-the-art technology backing Sephaku Cement’s plants.
