Cement manufacturer Cimentos da Beira, based in Mozambique, has announced plans to start exporting part of its production to neighbouring countries, including Zimbabwe and Malawi, in addition to supplying the local market.
The company is expected to launch operations at its new factory in October 2015, following the testing of the sub-stations that will supply it with electricity.
The factory, located in Sofala, will have an annual production capacity of 800,000tonnes, and is noted as having 40,000tonnes of clinker in storage in order to guarantee production.
The factory required investment of around US$45 million (€39.62 million).
