About.
Ghacem is the leading cement company in Ghana. We are "The nation builder"!
The company was established in 1967, and has played an important role of building Ghana through more than 50 years. Ghacem has two cement grinding plants in Tema and Takoradi, and a network of sales offices and depots throughout the country.
Our Background.
Ghacem was founded by the Government of Ghana in collaboration with Norcem AS of Norway on August 30, 1967.
In 1967 Ghacem was established with high hopes of prosperous future, with the help and guidance of the late Dr. J. A. Addison, whose pioneering effort set the tone for a lasting legacy of Ghacem.
Heidelbergcement is now the majority owners with 93.1%, Ghana government with 5% and the late Dr. J. A. Addison with 1.9% shares respectively.
Development in Ghana.
Our factories in Tema and Takoradi, have produced over 30 million tonnes of cement since inception in 1967.
Ghacem continues to contribute to the economic development in Ghana with adequate investment to meet the nations needs when it comes to cement production. From 2012 to 2015 Ghacem spent over 52 Million Euros in expansion investment in Tema and Takoradi. In recent times, Ghacem has announced a 1.5Million tons state of the art cement factory in Kumasi worth 100 Million Dollars. Ghacem is a coner stone of Ghana 's infrastractural development having played part in major iconic monuments and buidlings across Ghana using Ghacem cement. These expansion works have improved the quality of Ghacem cement, reduced energy consumption at the factories, ensured efficient production and reduced environmental impact of the plants operations.
