Business
PPC Ltd engages in the production and sale of cement, aggregates, ready-mixed concrete, fly ash, and related construction materials across Southern Africa, including South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Rwanda. Its core product portfolio comprises premium quality cement under the PPC SURE range; a wide variety of superior-grade aggregates including sand and crushed stone mined from dolomitic, amphibolite, and granite quarries; ready-mix concrete tailored to client specifications from 23 batching plants; premix products designed for construction efficiency; and classified and unclassified fly ash for industrial applications. The company also provides technical support services to its customers, targeting construction, chemical, metallurgical, and agricultural industries. Founded in 1892 as South Africa’s first cement manufacturer, PPC is headquartered in Johannesburg and operates 14 cement factories, nine manufacturing facilities, and several milling depots within its geographic footprint. In recent developments, PPC has embarked on a significant operational turnaround program since 2023 focusing on organizational culture, supply chain optimization, industrial efficiencies, and asset profitability enhancement to boost competitiveness and financial performance. In 2025, PPC announced a landmark investment in a new integrated cement facility in South Africa with a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum aiming at promoting sustainable production practices. Additionally, the company declared a special dividend in 2024 during its balance sheet stabilization period following prior divestments of non-strategic assets. Despite subdued market conditions in infrastructure and retail development across South Africa and Botswana, PPC continues to prioritize its cement business turnaround and cash flow improvement initiatives while maintaining its strong market position in Southern Africa's building materials sector. PPC operates primarily within the building materials industry, focusing on supplying basic construction inputs and solutions across sub-Saharan Africa. Its strategic activities include expansion of production capacity, enhancing product mix diversity, and embedding sustainability into manufacturing processes. The company was formerly known as Pretoria Portland Cement Company Limited until its name was changed to PPC Ltd in 2012. It remains a leading entity within the materials sector listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange under the ticker PPC.JO. Executive leadership continues to drive transformation focused on long-term growth and operational excellence.
