Lemi National Cement PLC is making major waves in Ethiopia’s construction industry, having supplied more than 12 million quintals of cement in just six months. This surge in distribution comes at a critical time, helping to ease the country’s long-standing cement shortage.
With an impressive annual production capacity of 4.5 million metric tons, Lemi accounts for a significant portion of Ethiopia’s estimated 6.7 million metric ton national output. The company’s ability to maintain a steady supply across the country has been supported by a strong distribution network, ensuring cement reaches even the most remote markets.
Thanks to these efforts, the market has seen improved stability and a noticeable drop in price fluctuations. Lemi attributes part of this success to its adoption of modern manufacturing technologies, boosting both the quality and efficiency of its production.
Beyond cement, Lemi has its eyes on broader industrial ambitions. Plans are underway to enter the gypsum production sector—an important resource for agriculture and soil treatment. This move not only aligns with Ethiopia’s push for import substitution but also positions Lemi to play a leading role in regional economic growth.
As Ethiopia’s demand for construction materials continues to climb, Lemi National Cement stands ready to meet the challenge and drive forward the nation’s development.
