PPC Africa

PPC Ltd. (PPC) established the first cement plant in South Africa in 1892, and listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1910. A leading supplier of cement and related products in Southern Africa, PPC has 11 cement factories in South Africa, Botswana, DRC, Rwanda and Zimbabwe. In 2016, PPC commissioned its fifth milling depot, located in Harare, Zimbabwe. The recent commissioning of PPC’s new plant in DRC brought PPC’s capacity to around eleven and a half million tonnes of cement products each year. As part of its strategy and long-term vision, PPC is expanding its operations in South Africa with the construction of a new kiln line (SK9) at PPC Slurry outside Mafikeng in the North West province. PPC’s Materials business, comprising Safika Cement, Pronto Readymix (including Ulula Ash) and 3Q Mahuma Concrete, forms part of the company’s channel management strategy for southern Africa. PPC’s footprint in the Readymix sector has grown to include 26 batching plants across South Africa and Mozambique and the capacity to produce half a million tonnes of fly ash. PPC also produces aggregates with its Mooiplaas aggregates quarry in Gauteng having the largest aggregate production capacity in South Africa.
