Tanzania's Mbeya Cement formally signed an agreement to build two new clinker production lines. As an important part of Amsons Group, Mbeya Cement signed a EPC contract with China National Materials International Engineering Co., Ltd. (Nanjing) on December 12, 2025, and plans to promote the construction of two major production bases in Tanzania at the same time, marking a key step in the Group's expansion strategy in the country's cement industry.
Under the terms of the contract, Sinoma will build one clinker production line in Mbeya and one in Tanga. Upon completion of the project, Mbeya Cement will see a substantial increase in its clinker production capacity, significantly enhancing its ability to supply raw materials to domestic cement manufacturers and the regional market. Amsons Group's dual regional layout aims to build a more resilient supply network by simultaneously improving the production capacity of the two core nodes.
From the perspective of industrial strategy, the new project will reshape the value chain of Tanzania's cement industry. By substantially increasing local clinker production, the problem of import dependence that has plagued the industry for a long time is expected to be fundamentally alleviated, thereby reducing overall production costs and strengthening supply chain security. This layout is in line with the long-term planning of the Group's deep cultivation of the East African building materials market, which not only responds to the demands of national industrialization, but also lays a foundation for the improvement of the competitiveness of enterprises themselves. The selection
of Mbeya and Tanga is not accidental, and their strategic value is reflected in the superposition of multiple advantages. Both places have abundant limestone resources, which provide stable raw material guarantee for clinker production; mature transportation network ensures efficient distribution of products; and the geographical location adjacent to major domestic markets and export gateways endows the project with natural logistics economy. These elements together constitute the ideal conditions for large-scale clinker investment. The
prospect of the project is highly consistent with the growth trajectory of the cement market in Tanzania. In recent years, thanks to the continuous promotion of infrastructure construction, the steady growth of housing demand and the expansion of the industrial sector, the country's cement industry has entered an upward channel. Mbeya Cement's capacity upgrade is timely, which can not only meet the current demand growth, but also reserve space for larger-scale development in the future. It is expected to have significant spillover effects in creating employment and promoting regional industrialization.
