Sephaku Cement operates two production sites in South Africa, with the Delmas plant serving as its key milling facility. The Delmas plant, located close to Johannesburg and the Kendal Power Station, receives approximately 55% of the clinker produced at the Aganang integrated plant for further processing into cement[1][5].
The Delmas plant has a cement production capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) and silo storage capacity for 22,000 tonnes of bulk product[5]. Its strategic location minimizes logistics costs and streamlines the transfer of raw material from Aganang. Cement production at Delmas began in 2014, with operations quickly ramping up to full output by mid-year. The first bags from Delmas were dispatched to customers in Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and Limpopo[3][7].
Sephaku Cement, also known as SepCem, is a joint venture between Dangote Cement (64% ownership) and JSE-listed Sephaku Holdings (36% ownership)[1][4]. SepCem’s production technology enables high product quality and cost efficiency, supporting a value-driven approach for its customers. The technical laboratory at Delmas provides product testing and custom mix design support to ensure that clients receive maximum value from their cement[5].
The launch of the Delmas plant made Sephaku Cement the first new entrant in South Africa’s cement industry since 1934, signifying a major milestone in the local construction materials sector[3]. The company’s operational strategy emphasizes technological innovation, quality, and a strong customer focus, underpinned by the support of experienced management and high-tech manufacturing equipment[2][4].
