The subsidiary company of the Lafarge group celebrated its sixtieth anniversary with a private opening.
The Cement industry in Cameroon is quite developed and Cimencam is one of its leaders. As part of the celebration of its 60 years of existence in Cameroon, the still leading company decided to organize an opening at the MAM gallery in Bonanjo. The first ever organized by Cimencam.
Entitled “60 years in the service of communication”, this exhibition was an opportunity to showcase the creative universe of young Cameroonian talents through paintings representing the expression of the different developments and achievements of Cimencam in Cameroon since 1963. The idea is in fact to bring to life for the public through the various works, the history of Cimencam which simultaneously integrates its people, its corporate culture, its achievements. The various works on display highlight the company’s remarkable achievements in four key areas: innovation and digitalization, human capital and corporate social responsibility, quality products and new factory development.
Innovation and digitalization occupy a central place in Cimencam’s strategy. The company successfully launched its mycimencam platform, providing its customers with an improved experience and simplified interaction. Through this platform, customers can now place orders online, track deliveries and access valuable product information. Cimencam thus positions itself as an industry pioneer in terms of technological innovation. This is one of the reasons that push some distributors to work with it. The company is constantly innovating. For Mathias Zongo, distributor of Cimencam products for 22 years, this innovation is an important and impactful factor: “When I started, they had 4 products but today they are already 7 products as you can see. Each day they only make innovations” declares this loyal distributor.
Cimencam also recognizes the importance of human capital and corporate social responsibility. The company has invested heavily in the training and development of its employees, placing emphasis on their professional and personal growth. Additionally, Cimencam has implemented various social responsibility initiatives to contribute to the well-being of local communities. These actions include health, education and sustainable development programs, demonstrating the company’s commitment to Cameroon and its people.
Product quality is a fundamental value for Cimencam. Over the past 60 years, the company has constantly innovated and improved its products to meet changing market needs. Through strict quality control standards, Cimencam guarantees the reliability and durability of its construction materials. Cimencam’s products are widely used in major infrastructure projects across the country, contributing to the economic development of Cameroon.
The company continues to grow and expand its production capabilities. As part of its commitment to offering quality products at competitive prices, Cimencam plans to inaugurate a new factory in Figuil in January 2024. This factory will have a production capacity of 500,000 tonnes, thus strengthening the leading position of Cimencam on the national market.
Xavier Legrand, General Manager of Cimencam underlines the importance of continuous investments to optimize prices and maintain the competitiveness of the company. Building on its 60 years of experience and success, Cimencam remains determined to remain at the forefront of the cement industry in Cameroon: “Cimencam is the company that invests the most in Cameroon so the prospects are in in the long term… you can count on us to remain part of Cameroonian society, of Cameroonian culture,” he declared to the press.
