It has been a year of many new milestones apart from the unbundling.
It has been a year of unprecedented demand in the history of the South African cement industry and an unprecedented year in PPC’s history, of running all 13 production lines in South Africa for the entire year at demanding production levels.
At the same time as running all our operations flat out, our management team and particularly our project team have been extremely busy with the various expansion projects.
Through all of this we had to keep our customers supplied whilst also experiencing pressure to supply non-traditional customers when our competitors could not.
It was also a year of unprecedented earnings, cash flow and dividends for our shareholders. |
