Berbera Cement Factory is a promising industrial initiative aimed at establishing a state-of-the-art, efficient, and environmentally friendly cement production facility. Originally conceived in the 1980s and the factory commenced operations in 1987. However, its development was halted in 1988 due to civil conflict, which affected its operational continuity.
In recent years, the vision to revive and operate the cement plant has been reignited under new management, with a focus on constructing a modern, energy-efficient facility that adheres to environmental standards. Its strategic location near Berbera Port, coupled with close access to raw material sources, positions it as a key asset for regional development.
The project aims to develop a cutting-edge dry-process cement manufacturing plant equipped with advanced energy recovery systems, targeting competitive production costs and sustainable operations. Once operational, the facility will serve the booming construction markets across the Horn of Africa and facilitate regional exports. This initiative is poised to create numerous employment opportunities, stimulate industrial growth, and contribute significantly to the economic development of the region.
Berbera Cement Factory is committed to producing high-quality, sustainable cement that supports regional growth. Our mission is to deliver reliable, affordable cement with the highest environmental responsibility, while being at the heart of our community. We strive to create jobs, foster economic development, and uphold social and environmental integrity. Our goal is to become Africa’s leading cement producer by delivering innovative, high-quality products, maintaining operational excellence, and building lasting relationships with our communities and customers.
The African cement market has demonstrated strong growth, valued at approximately USD 30-35 billion in 2023 and projected to reach around USD 42-45 billion by the mid-2030s. This expansion is driven by rapid urbanization, infrastructure development, and population growth across the continent.
Within East Africa, the market presents especially promising opportunities. Countries in Horn of Africa are experiencing significant construction booms, with regional cement demand expected to grow 6-8% yearly, fueled by large-scale infrastructure projects, housing developments, and regional integration initiatives, the East African market offers substantial potential for Berbera Cement Factory.
This expanding market landscape creates a compelling opportunity for us to invest in sustainable, green cement solutions, aligning our growth with rising environmental standards and regional development needs.
