The Group in the third quarter of 2025 commissioned a 3MTPA grinding plant in Attingué, a town in the PK24 industrial zone, approximately 30 kilometres north of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire’s economic capital. Commissioning of the Cote d’Ivoire operation plant increased the Groups installed capacity to 55MTPA as well as its strategic presence in 11 countries.
Overall, Côte d’Ivoire’s favorable growth dynamics, stable inflation environment and continued infrastructure rollout are expected to sustain positive macro-economic conditions in 2026, providing a supportive backdrop for cement demand despite increasing competitive intensity in the market.
The Group continues to ramp up production in the newly commissioned plant to consolidate the Group’s revenue.
Sales volume from the Group’s newly commissioned grinding plant stood at 60.4Kt in 2025 as it ramps up production to consolidate the Group’s volumes.
Dangote Cement has set new standards by pioneering the 42.5R grade ‘Dangote 3X Cement’, which is designed to give more value to the end users. 3X is decoded to mean “Xtra strong, Xtra life and Xtra yield”. The new offering comes in a 50 Kg bag and is the first of its kind in Nigeria. Dangote 3X Cement is primarily aimed at preventing construction collapses due to usage of lower-grade cement apart from strengthening the quality of the brand.
The extra strength and rapid drying properties of the product makes it the first choice for builders and contractors. A bag of the new Dangote 3X Cement – 42.5R variety is rated as equivalent to one and half bag of the regular cement bag.
