Limak Cimentos Sa is Limak Cement’s first foreign investment. The factory produces 2 different types of products: CEM II/A-V 42,5 N and CEM IV/B (V) 32,5 N.
Located in the Matola port area of Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, on an 80,000-square-meter site, the plant began sales operations in the fourth quarter of 2016. In line with Limak Cement’s sustainability goals, the facility continues to operate in full compliance with World Bank standards, focusing on environmental management, human resources, and social responsibility.
Although Limak Cimentos SA has an annual cement production capacity of 700,000 tons, the plant was designed during planning and construction to reach an annual capacity of 1.5 million tons. Mozambique, a strategic gateway to East Africa with significant natural gas and coal reserves, presents medium- and long-term investment opportunities, including natural gas power plants, concrete facilities, construction materials production, and the establishment of an integrated cement plant. Through continues brand development, Limak Cimentos SA maintained its market share in 2025.
The plant holds Mozambique’s first “Made in Mozambique” certification-the nation’s inaugural local product certification-and the ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certificate issued by the Mozambican National Institute of Standardization and Quality (INNOQ). In 2025, it obtained ISO 45001 certification, and the process to achieve ISO 14001 certification was initiated, to secure it by 2026, following the necessary training and adjustments.
Awarded the “Best Industrial Investment Award” in Mozambique, the plant became self-sufficient with the commissioning of its Natural Gas Power Generation Plant in June 2022, providing a 4.8 MW boost to the country’s energy production capacity. This critical investment, made at a time when Sub-Saharan African countries face severe energy shortages, supports sustainable production while enhancing operational safety.
