HeidelbergCement building greenfield cement grinding facility in Burkina Faso

摘要

Burkina Faso: Germany's HeidelbergCement, together with local partners, is constructing a new US$50m cement grinding plant with a capacity of 0.65Mt/yr near the Burkina Faso capital city of Ouagadougou. "The construction of the new cement grinding plant is part of our strategy of expanding our clinker and cement capacities in growth markets," said Dr Bernd Scheifele, Chairman of the group's managing board. "These include, in particular, the countries of sub-Saharan Africa. For many years, we have exported cement to Burkina Faso from our grinding plant in Togo. Our new plant will strengthen our position in the country as well as in the whole region."
