Ethiopia's cement industry is poised for growth with the upcoming launch of the Lemi National Cement Factory. Expected to begin production in two months, the factory is projected to fill a major gap in the country's cement supply. At full capacity, Lemi will produce 6.4 million tons of cement annually, nearly doubling Ethiopia's current production.
Lemi National Cement has emerged as a major player in Ethiopia’s cement industry, producing up to 15,000 tons of cement daily at its factory, located near the town of Lemi in Ensaro district, Amhara region.
Lemi National Cement Factory, located in Ethiopia's Amhara Regional State, Ensaro Woreda, has started offering its cement products to the market as of October 31, 2024.
Lemi National Cement Factory is expected to start operation in January 2024. This was revealed during a Government Delegation visit to the factory’s construction site which was led by the Ministry of Urban Development and Infrastructure. Machine installation will commence in June this year after the construction of the factory is finalized.
Lemi National Cement Factory has made a strong entrance into Ethiopia’s cement market, supplying over 310,000 tons of cement since it began operations on October 31, 2024.
