Executive Summary

CBI Ghana Overview

Company Vision

Establish CBI Ghana as Ghana's top sustainable cement provider.

Company Mission

Drive growth in market share and sales by leveraging quality, Ghanaian pride, and sustainability.

Our Company

Founded in 2017, CBI Ghana Ltd has grown from importing cement to becoming a leading local manufacturer. Based at the Tema Free Zone, we operate one of the most modern cement plants in Ghana, serving contractors to real-estate developers and masons.

Our Growth & Impact

From an initial $50 million investment in state-of-the-art grinding infrastructure.

In 2022, we committed an additional $100 million to build the world's largest calcined clay cement plant.

With over $145 million invested and 300+ jobs created, we are driving both growth and sustainability in Ghana's cement industry.

  • Absolute Financial Transparency — Ethical Procurement & Auditing
  • Anti-Bribery & Corruption Controls — GoG & Global MDB Standard
  • Independent Board Oversight — Norfund Governance Standards

Company Culture

Our company culture is anchored directly in the LEADS framework, cultivating technical discipline and operational excellence across our workforce:

  • L · Loyalty (Mpuannum) — Devoted to our work, people & national purpose
  • E · Environmental Consciousness (Asase Ye Duru) — Green cement stewardship
  • A · Audacity (Akofena) — Courage to innovate & challenge inefficient norms

Our Identity & Vision

From Technical Challenger to Market Reference.

Established in 2017, CBI Ghana was founded on the principle that infrastructure is only as reliable as the materials and the discipline behind them. In a market often defined by supply volatility and shifting quality, we have emerged as the Market Reference for high-stakes engineering.

Our vision is clear: to be the Procedural Default for Ghana's most critical projects. Excluding our cement solutions should increase project risk, while including them guarantees audit safety, logistical predictability, and environmental compliance.

Our Departments

The Engine Behind Every Bag of Supacem.

CBI Ghana operates as an integrated machine — eleven specialist departments working in synchrony to deliver consistent quality, reliable supply, and institutional-grade performance across every facet of our operations.

Administration department

Administration

The backbone of daily operations at our Tema Free Zones plant. Administration manages office functions, government liaison, regulatory compliance filings, and cross-departmental coordination that keeps every CBI process running without friction.

Commercial department

Commercial

Drives Supacem's market presence across Ghana's 8+ operational regions. The Commercial team manages distributor networks, contractor relationships, tender submissions, and strategic pricing to ensure CBI cement reaches every major construction site on schedule.

Electrical department

Electrical

Maintains the electrical infrastructure of one of Ghana's most advanced industrial plants. From the Calciner and grinding mills to the automated bagging line, our Electrical team ensures zero-downtime continuity across all high-voltage systems.

Finance department

Finance

Upholds CBI Ghana's audit-ready financial governance standards required by Norfund and multilateral development banks. Finance manages budgets, cost controls, foreign exchange exposure, investor reporting, and the financial compliance framework underpinning all operations.

Health & Safety department

Health & Safety

Enforces our non-negotiable zero-harm mandate — the "Eban" principle of our LEADS framework. HSE manages PPE compliance, risk assessments, incident reporting, and safety training across the plant to ensure every employee returns home safely, every single day.

Human Resources department

Human Resources

Builds and sustains the team of over 300 professionals behind CBI Ghana's success. HR drives recruitment, talent development, the LEADS culture programme, employee welfare, and performance management — ensuring we attract and retain the best minds in Ghana's industrial sector.

Mechanical department

Mechanical

Keeps Africa's largest calcined clay plant running at peak capacity. The Mechanical team handles preventive maintenance, equipment overhauls, and engineering modifications on the grinding mills, kiln, and packaging lines that define our 1,300 tonnes/day production output.

Procurement department

Procurement

Manages the end-to-end supply chain that underpins CBI's vertical integration model. Procurement sources clinker, gypsum, and local calcined clay inputs — balancing cost efficiency with our commitment to ethical sourcing and full traceability for investor-grade reporting.

Production department

Production

The operational heart of CBI Ghana. Production oversees the full cement manufacturing process — from raw material intake at Torgorme and Tema to grinding, blending, bagging, and dispatch of every SupaFast, SupaPower, and SupaHard bag that leaves our facility.

Quality department

Quality

The guardian of CBI Ghana's technical reputation. Quality conducts rigorous in-house lab testing on every batch of Supacem cement, ensuring full conformance to Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) specifications and the international EN 197-1 norm before a single bag reaches our customers.

Quarry department

Quarry

Operates CBI's strategic clay quarry at Torgorme in the Volta Region — the source of the high-purity kaolinite clay that makes our LC3-45 cement uniquely Ghanaian. Quarry ensures a consistent, locally-sourced raw material supply that eliminates the import dependency affecting every other cement producer in West Africa.

CBI Plant
Strategic Impact

A Locally Anchored Powerhouse.

By reducing dependence on imported clinker and investing in the Ghana LC3 Blueprint, we provide a defensive shield for the national economy. Our growth is intrinsically linked to the resilience of Ghana's infrastructure and the prosperity of its people.
