The Zambezi Portland Cement Factory has been drawing the attention of all African nations with its prolific performance in the year 2014. Recording a mammoth 1, 00, 000 tonnes of cement as surplus, ZPC has gone on to become one of the best performing units of Mahtani Group of Companies in recent time.
The estimated production capacity of ZPC is around 1000 tonnes of cement on a daily basis and 3, 60, 000 tonnes of annual capacity. The estimated production capacity was left far behind when the annual production of ZPC was computed as 4, 73, 985 tonnes. The surplus production was made with an intent to facilitate the Ndola housing project, which involved construction of 71 houses.
This has been a pleasing result for the people of Zambia as this performance by ZPC is getting appreciation from worldwide. Dr. Rajan Mahtani is highly motivated with this performance and he is soon looking forward to build a lime plant in Masaiti which is likely to create an additional employment of 150 people in Masaiti.
Comments such as “Portland Cement Factory is the next big thing.”, “Dr. Mahtani is our hero.”, “Zambezi Portland Cement Factory is a performer.” etc., continue to come from the people of Zambia as they celebrate this success and look forward to a better Africa that has employment, prosperity and growth.
