Founded in 1959 and headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, the company serves individual homebuilders, commercial contractors, and large-scale infrastructure developers across Nigeria, operating integrated cement plants in Ewekoro and Sagamu (Ogun State), Mfamosing (Cross River State), and Ashaka (Gombe State) with a combined installed capacity of approximately 10.5 million metric tonnes per annum, supported by ready-mix operations in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt. Formerly known as Lafarge Africa PLC, the company underwent a major corporate reorganization and rebranding to HBM Nigeria PLC following the acquisition of an 83.81% controlling interest by China-based Huaxin Building Materials Group from Holcim in 2025. Recent operational and strategic initiatives include the implementation of compressed natural gas infrastructure across its logistics and transport fleet to optimize distribution efficiency and lower carbon emissions, as well as production capacity expansion programs including a planned third production line at the Mfamosing manufacturing facility.
