The cement plant is installed by Sinoma Suzhou in the Northern part of the Amhara Region, 130 km from Addis Ababa. It will comprise a 10,000 tpd clinker and 4.5 Mta cement production, plus a 30 Mm2 gypsum board factory and other gypsum, concrete and aggregates facilities. Plant commissioning is expected in summer 2024. The East African Holding alone will be able to cover 50 % of the cement production in Ethiopia.
