The new clinker lines are expected to expand Mbeya Cement Company Limited’s production capacity and support the Amsons Group’s long-term expansion plans in Tanzania’s cement and building materials sector.

The project aims to increase domestic clinker availability for cement manufacturing, reducing reliance on imports and supporting supply to both the local and regional markets.
