The Moroccan cement group Ciment de l’Afrique (Cimaf) will soon start building a cement plant with a capacity of 300,000 tons per year in Bouake, a metropolis in north-central Côte d’Ivoire.
The announcement was made Friday in Abidjan by the Regional Director General, Khalid Iben Khayat, on the sidelines of the 1st edition of the Night of the Moroccan company in Côte d’Ivoire.
“The Bouaké plant has a capacity of 300,000 tons. We have acquired the land and are preparing the permits to start construction, “said Khalid Iben Khayat in a speech.
In November 2011, the Cimaf Group laid the foundation stone of its first plant in Côte d’Ivoire with an annual capacity of 500,000 tons for an investment of 20 billion CFA francs. It began operations in August 2013.
