Lafarge begins trading as Khayah Cement Limited and rebrands.

CEMENT MAKER, LAFARGE CEMENT ZIMBABWE LIMITED IS NOW TRADING AS KHAYAH CEMENT LIMITED FOLLOWING THE CONCLUSION OF THE ACQUISITION OF MAJOR SHAREHOLDING BY A LOCAL INVESTMENT CONSORTIUM. THE COMPANY’S TRADING BRAND WAS REVEALED TO THE COMPANY’S INTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS AT AN EVENT HELD AT THE COMPANY PREMISES COMPLEMENTED BY ELABORATE PUBLICITY IN VARIOUS MEDIA. Speaking at the launch event, the company’s Board Chairman Mr. Kumbirayi Katsande said that this historic event marked the turn of an era as this is the first time the company’s major shareholding was being taken over by locals. He went on to emphasize that though the company has gone through previous phases of mergers and acquisitions, what has remained constant is the delivery of high-quality products which have stood the test of time.

Khayah is vernacular Ndebele word which means home. “We are now Khayah which means home, not house but home, because home is not just a structure, but the countless memories that are made within those structures,” explained the company’s Board Chairman in his address. “Through our products, we have been part of thousands of homes for generations, and we will continue to be so for generations to come,” he added.

During the new brand launch event, employees who have served the company for more than twenty years were recognized and conferred with the Khayah Legends Award. The longest serving employee at Khaya Cement has been with the business since 1976 and has served for 46 years. Twenty employees were conferred with this coveted award.

we are Khayah, the home for everyone, we go the extra mile to ensure that our value chain partners, both upstream and downstream, enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship that transcends generations,” he said.

In a letter to shareholders announcing the new brand, the company’s Acting CEO, Mr. innocent Chikwata rehashed the company’s commitment to delivering quality, strong and durable products in a business model that ensures mutual benefit for all stakeholders. “Because

In July 2015, the Lafarge Group merged with Swiss-based Holcim creating LafargeHolcim which later rebranded to Holcim in 2021. The local trading name remained unchanged until the acquisition of majority shareholding to now trading as Khayah Cement Limited.

The company was established in 1956 as Salisbury Portland Cement before a take over by Blue Circle Industries in 1980 and in 1982 it became Circle Cement.

Nineteen years later, the parent company Blue Circle, was acquired by the French based Lafarge Group and continued to trade as Circle Cement for about seven more years. In 2008, the company officially rebranded to Lafarge Cement Zimbabwe Limited and subsequently relisted on the Zimbabwe Stock exchange under this name.

Why choose CNC Laser Cutting and Bending?

Now available in Zimbabwe, our CNC Laser Cutting and Bending services offer an efficient, cost-effective, versatile tool for sheet metal processing and fabrication across all industries.

As sheet metal becomes more delicate the thinner it gets, it is important to use machine tools that minimise risks of damage during the processing and fabrication processes. With a compact design, our fiber laser cutting system offers a cost-effective, accurate, and versatile alternative to traditional cutting systems.

Cost efficiency

Sheet metal processing and fabrication through laser cutting and bending is cost-effective, reducing the costs associated with labour, design, and other resources. These systems are automated. By utilising this, not only do you save on operational costs, you will also save on material costs. Through these automated systems, we are able to nest parts to maximise the number of parts cut per sheet whilst minimising material wastage.

Accuracy

We also save time on production by guaranteeing accuracy on components, as well as being able to offer various other fabrication details within the part to save time on down the line manufacturing processes. We pride ourselves in our accuracy to critical tolerances within 0.1mm. We also guarantee repeatability on all processed parts.

Versatility

We can laser cut and bend many different materials, from copper to titanium, and material thicknesses ranging from 0.5mm to 12.5mm. Our services are ideal for a wide variety of sheet metal fabrication projects. Whether you are cutting prototypes, small designs, routine projects or industrial projects, our service is highly versatile.

Holes, slots and various other cuts can be made easily and quickly, even for highly

detailed projects that require delicate cuts. We combine the programming of our cut parts to integrate into our bending system.

Costs

Generally, the higher the cost is per part, the more critical its relationship is going to be in down the line processes. However economies of scale will still prevail and one offs will always be more expensive than batch work of 100 or 1000 off. Our customers are able to supply their own material or we can source it for them. We

work off DXF format files or we can assist with design in house.

Talk to our team

We are getting people excited about the processes and the services that we offer.

We have access to the latest technology in the world and are able to help streamline your fabrication processes in order for you to benefit from these automated systems. Call or WhatsApp us on +263 778 147 025.
