The World Cement Association (WCA) has welcomed Maweni Limestone, a subsidiary of the Huaxin Cement Group, as a new corporate member.
“We are delighted to welcome Maweni Limestone among our membership, as one of WCA’s key ambitions is to more effectively engage emerging-market players across the global cement ecosystem,” explains Ian Riley, CEO at WCA. “We look forward to the contribution they will make to our efforts to share and improve best practice amongst members.”
Maweni Limestone is one of East Africa’s leading manufacturers of cement operating in Tanzania. In 2020, it was acquired and reconstructed by China Huaxin Cement, becoming one of the largest cement manufacturers in the region, with an annual output of 1.5 million tonnes, providing important support for the industrialisation of Tanzania.
“We are very proud that we have not only managed to develop a strong market position in Tanzania, but also maintain high standards for our business,” said Changxi Jing, country manager of Maweni Limestone. “We’ve admired the work already done by the WCA to raise awareness of pressing issues and opportunities faced by our industry today, and we look forward to contributing to this global discussion as Corporate Members going forward.”
