Who makes Dangote cement in Tanzania
The Tanzanian arm is Dangote Industries Tanzania Limited, a subsidiary of Dangote Cement Plc, whose operations page lists facilities in Nigeria and in other African countries, Tanzania among them. According to the Dangote Cement page for Tanzania, the company runs a 3.0 Mta (million tonnes a year) plant in Mtwara, in the south of the country, which it calls the largest cement factory in Tanzania and which was commissioned in December 2015.
The government investment authority TISEZA adds that the Mtwara project has created jobs for more than 1,500 Tanzanians. The same page puts the whole Dangote Cement group at 48.6 million tonnes of capacity a year across ten countries.
Dangote cement grades and uses
The Tanzania page lists three products and the work each is meant for:
| Grade | Type, as listed | What it contains | Suggested use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32.5R | CEM II | lower clinker content, with a pumice additive and gypsum | plastering, low-rise buildings, masonry |
| 42.5R (Dangote 3X) | CEM II-AL | higher clinker content | most building uses, including high-rise and some infrastructure |
| 52.5 | CEM I | higher clinker content | major infrastructure such as bridges and dams |
Dangote 3X is sold in a 50 kg bag, the page says; it gives no bag size for the other two. For what CEM I, CEM II and the R suffix mean, see the overview of cement types and strength classes.
