(Business in Cameroon) - In the next few months, Atlantic Cement (owned by Ivorian business mogul, Kone Dossongui’s Atlantic Group) will launch the construction of its cement plant in the industrial zone of the deep seaport of Kribi. All the necessary authorizations for this one million tons capacity plant have been granted already, we gathered.
For the construction, the Port Authority of Kribi (PAK) which manages the deep seaport of Kribi, provided the group with a 10-hectare plot in the industrial zone.
From credible sources, this new cement plant should be similar to the plant of
Société de ciment de Côte d Ivoire (SCCI), which is fully controlled by Mr. Dossongui. Inaugurated on January 28th, 2021 in the PK 24 Akoupé-Zeudji industrial zone (Abidjan), this cement plant cost XAF60 billion, according to Côte d’Ivoire’s Minister of Commerce and Industry, Souleymane Diarrassouba.
