Background: MARKING THE FINAL PHASE OF THE CHILANGA CEMENT COMPANY'S EXPANSION PROGRAMME, THE START OF PRODUCTION OF CLINKER AT THE FACTORY'S PLANT NEAR NDOLA MEANS THAT ZAMBIA BECOMES SELF-SUFFICIENT IN THE PRODUCTION OF CEMENT, WITH CAPACITY GOING UP FROM 180,000 TO OVER HALF A MILLION SHORT TONS PER YEAR.

THE CHILANGA CEMENT COMPANY'S EXPANSION PROGRAMME WILL HAVE COST SOME K 18 MILLION AND THE WORK HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT BY SUPPLIERS AND CONTRACTORS FROM DENMARK, ITALY AND ZAMBIA.

THE NDOLA WORKS THEMSELVES ARE AMONG THE MOST MODERN IN AFRICA AND HAVE A PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 600 SHORT TONS OF CLINKER PER DAY. IT IS EXPECTED THAT DESPATCHES OF CEMENT FROM THESE NEW WORKS WILL COMMENCE IN MARCH.
