Six years after Hima Cement invested $120 million in the Rwenzori Project, installing the production line at its Hima Plant that increased production capacity to 0.9 Mt per annum, they broken ground on the construction of a $40 million Grinding Station at Nyakesi-Rubongi along the Tororo-Mbale Highway in Tororo with the plant scheduled to commence production in Q1 2018.
On completion, the new plant will increase Hima Cement’s capacity from the current 0.9million Metric Tons to 1.9 million Metric Tons per year. The project is also expected to create hundreds of jobs, directly and indirectly through the supply chain.
Hima Cement is also in the final stages of exploration for a limestone position in Moroto to support a future clinker plant.
The new cement plant in Tororo will be constructed by CBMI Construction Company Limited, which constructed the Rwenzori line at Hima Plant in 2010.
