importantly, it allows us to translate our vision of sustainable and inclusive
growth into tangible action. By investing in local manufacturing capabilities, building

of this launch extend well beyond cement supply. This is about strengthening
the local economy, empowering communities, and building the kind of

come."

local builders and contractors to ensure smooth adoption. By producing and
distributing locally, the company is creating new employment opportunities
across the value chain.
