Huaxin Group

Natal Portland Cement (NPC), a subsidiary of China's Huaxin Group, completed a kiln upgrade at its Simuma plant in Port Shepstone, South Africa, increasing cement production capacity from 1.5 million to 2.8 million tonnes per annum. The expansion is backed by a R1 billion investment commitment.

Chilanga Cement Plc launched the Ndola Kiln Upgrade Project, a $20 million investment supported by Huaxin Group, to improve efficiency, production capacity, and environmental conditions. The upgrade will increase capacity to 1 million tonnes of cement per year and is set to be completed in eight months.

NPC and Huaxin Group have broken ground on the Simuma Expansion Project at NPC's Simuma Plant in Port Shepstone, South Africa. The project will transform the plant into NPC's biggest facility in South Africa with increased production capacity.
