DIAMOND CEMENT GUINEA SA (DCGN) is part of the WACEM group and has been a market leader for a long time. “ Diamond Cement” is a well-known brand for its QUALITY, using Guinean locally produced Clinker ( First in Guinea ) . It has never compromised on quality and has been a consistent partner of the Guinean government in its infrastructure development activities. DCGN has established two units in Guinea, comprising of two grinding units and one clinker unit, below the details:

KAGBELEN UNIT OF DIAMOND CEMENT GUINEA:
The Kagbelen cement grinding unit is the first unit established in Guinea by the group, created in 2011.
After the start of construction, the Ebola crisis emerged, and the group could only complete the 450,000 MT project in 2015. Production and commercial activities at Kagbelen began in August 2015.
Diamond Cement Guinea secured a lease for its current land from the Port of Conakry. The area is approximately 121,113 m². At every stage of the project or operations, Diamond Cement Guinea has received excellent support from the local community, the Guinean government, and all local authorities.
Currently, Diamond Cement Guinea provides direct and/or indirect employment to over 750 Guinean employees at its Kagbelen and Sougueta units.
Diamond Cement Guinea is also engaged in several corporate social responsibility activities and has committed to numerous nation-building projects.

KAGBELEN CEMENT UNIT:
The Kagbelen cement unit is fully operational commercially. This unit has received support from Access Bank Guinea in the form of 29 billion GNF of medium-term credit, with repayments starting on 01.07.2024, and the final payment due on 29.09.2025. This unit reinvests almost all of its generated income back into its operations, as well as in repaying the aforementioned financial support.

INTEGRATED CEMENT PLANT (clinker unit + grinding unit) IN SOUGUETA:
The group has set up a new FULLY INTEGRATED CEMENT FACTORY, currently operational in Sougueta (total project cost: around 100 million USD). The construction of the clinker production unit with a capacity of about 550,000 metric tons (project cost: around 75 million USD) has been completed, with Commercial Clinker Production began on January 1, 2022
The construction of the grinding unit (Vertical Rolling Mill or VRM) with a production capacity of 750,000 MT has also been commercially operational since January ,2024, with an estimated project cost of around 25 million USD. Locally produced clinker in Sougueta is being used both in Kagbelen & Sougueta , replacing imported clinker. This strategy provides us with competitive advantages by minimizing production costs.

The investments in the two plants at Kagbelen and Sougueta amount to about 125 million USD,. Such a large-scale investment requires rigorous maintenance monitoring to effectively meet market demand and optimize production processes.
To ensure efficiency, the group has considered investing in a 8 MW Biomass Power Project in Sougueta. Studies have demonstrated that this project is more cost-effective and reliable .
