Sinoma’s Zambian investment will produce multiple building materials

Sinoma has begun construction on the new Sinoma Building Materials Industrial Park in Zambia, which will provide employment for some 3000 people locally. The US$500 million investment is Sinoma’s first in Zambia.

The facility will produce cement through a 2500 tpd line, as well as bricks, lime, fibre cement board and other building materials.

The government welcomed the investment as a step away from the copper industry towards economic diversification. They expressed their wish that Sinoma consider apprenticeships and on-the-job training to offer employment to young people.
