Dangote Cement is a subsidiary of
Dangote Industries, which was founded by Aliko Dangote in 1981 as a
trading business with an initial focus on importation of bagged cement
and other commodities such as rice, sugar, flour and salt.
Over time, the Group began to import bulk cement into the Apapa and Port Harcourt terminals, which it then bagged for distribution. Through the 1990s, the Group made a strategic decision to transition from a trading based business into a fully-fledged integrated manufacturing operation. This is where our ambitious plan to become Africa’s leading cement producer began.
