China’s West China Cement (WCC) has announced the acquisition of 100 % of the shares of South African company AfriSam, one of the key producers of construction materials in the region. The deal is part of WCC’s strategy to expand its presence in the African market.
AfriSam operates in South Africa, Lesotho, and Eswatini, with a total cement production capacity of approximately 4.5 million tonnes per year. The integration of these assets will significantly increase WCC’s production capabilities and strengthen its position in Southern Africa.
