Simba Cement is revolutionizing Uganda’s construction industry by providing premium cement at unbeatable prices, setting a new standard in the market. With the recent launch of the region’s largest clinker manufacturing plant in West Pokot, Kenya, Simba Cement is empowering builders, contractors, and homeowners to undertake a variety of construction projects using cost-effective, high-performance cement.
According to Mr. Heet Raval, Marketing Manager at Simba Cement, the new clinker plant gives the company a logistical edge, leading to significant cost savings that are passed on to customers while ensuring a steady supply of top-quality cement throughout the region. Simba Cement’s product range includes three key options tailored to meet Uganda’s diverse construction needs:
- Simba Cement 32.5R CEM IV: A rapid-strength cement ideal for general applications such as housing, construction, concrete work, and domestic repairs. Its fast-drying formula helps reduce curing time, leading to time and cost savings on-site.
- Simba Cement 32.5N CEM II: This cement is designed for large-scale civil works, including projects like apartment complexes and shopping malls. It’s ideal for producing precast materials like pavers, culverts, and curbs.
- Simba Power 42.5N: A high-strength cement developed for heavy-duty projects, such as bridges, roads, and high-rise buildings. With its higher clinker content, it meets the demanding requirements of engineers and contractors working on complex construction projects.
Ms. Edna Agwata, Sales Manager at Simba Cement, emphasized that despite rising operational costs, the company continues to offer competitive pricing.
Simba Cement is also deeply committed to sustainability and safety, adhering to ISO standards and environmental regulations set by NEMA. With advanced machinery and ongoing safety training, the company ensures a secure working environment for all employees and contractors.
Looking forward, Simba Cement’s research and development team is dedicated to product innovation to meet the evolving needs of Uganda’s construction sector. The launch of Simba Cement CEM II is an example of how the company adapts to the growing demand for high-strength cement in civil and infrastructure projects.
With expansion efforts underway, including appointing new dealers and increasing production capacity, Simba Cement plays a critical role in Uganda’s construction sector. The company is committed to making high-quality cement more accessible as the nation’s construction industry flourishes, offering advanced, affordable, and sustainable solutions.
