Portland Cement 42.5 CEM I or CEM II

INTRODUCTION

ADCEM (Pty) Ltd, a South African Company, tied up with various suppliers overseas to bring in quality Portland Cement, to meet the demands of the construction industry. 

South Africa and Africa is going through an unprecedented growth in the construction industry, mainly brought about by both the national and provincial government’s initiatives to construct housing, infrastructure upgrades and developments regarding the World Cup Soccer in 2010. 

This growth, coupled with the magnitude and intensity (tight timescales) of the various projects, has put huge pressure on the supply of cement to the construction industry. Without adequate cement supply, and the lack of contingency plans, the timescales of most of the civil construction projects will not be met. This will have dire consequences to the general industry and business as a whole.
