Landmark Projects
We have been Building up this Country for over 50 years. Embark on a journey through our landmark projects, where Twiga Cement's expert teams have fearlessly deployed their knowledge and cutting-edge innovations to transform even the most difficult challenges into triumphs. From transportation and energy to mining and infrastructure, discover how our low-carbon cement has contributed to iconic developments across the country and beyond.
Pangani Bridge
How do landmark infrastructure projects accelerate regional connectivity, strengthen local economies, and unlock long-term growth?
Let’s take a closer look at the Pangani Bridge, one of Tanzania’s key infrastructure projects, designed to transform transport along the Tanga-Pangani-Saadani-Bagamoyo Route. Spanning 525 metres across the Pangani River, the bridge will replace ferry crossings and enable safer, faster, and more reliable movement of people and goods.
Soma Bags
Giving Twiga Cement Bags a Second Life
What happens to a cement bag after the cement has been used?
Through an initiative with Soma Factories Tanzania, used Twiga Cement bags are collected from construction sites and block makers and transformed into practical products, including backpacks, rucksacks and safari bags.
Based in Mwanza, Soma Factories Tanzania combines recycled cement bags with Kitenge fabric to create durable, functional products. Some bags also feature solar panels that collect energy during the day for use at night.
The initiative demonstrates how used materials can be given a new purpose while supporting local employment, contributing to waste reduction and encouraging more responsible resource use.

RDF
Waste Management in Tanzania.
A significant opportunity to address Tanzania’s growing waste challenge while reducing reliance on conventional fossil fuels:
Dar es Salaam generates more than 5,000 tones of municipal solid waste every day, with some estimates suggesting that plastics account for approximately 13-16% of the waste stream.
Much of this waste ends up at dumpsites or finds its way into our streets, rivers and ocean. But suitable non-recyclable waste could be recovered and transformed into Refuse-Derived Fuel, or RDF.
During cement production, materials are heated in our kilns at temperatures of around 1,500°C to produce clinker, the key ingredient in cement. These high temperatures allow suitable RDF to replace part of the conventional fossil fuels used in the process.

Established in 1966, Tanzania Portland Cement Public Limited Company (TPC PLC) is the leading cement producer in Tanzania and a proud member of the Heidelberg Materials Group. Our journey began with the production of our first bag of cement at Wazo Hill in mid-1966.
Over the years, TPC PLC has undergone significant changes. We were nationalized in 1978, privatized in 1998, and are now a publicly traded company on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE). Heidelberg Cement holds a 69.25% stake in TPC PLC via Scancem International DA, with the remaining 30.75% held by the general public of the United Republic of Tanzania.
We pride ourselves on producing high-quality cement that meets the standards set by the Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS). Our product portfolio includes six main brands: Twiga Ordinary (42.5N), Twiga Mega (42.5N), Twiga Plus (42.5N), Twiga Extra (32.5R), Twiga Super (32.5N), and Twiga Jenga (MC 22.5X).
Our commitment to growth and excellence led us to complete an expansion program in 2009, increasing our production capacity to 1.4 million metric tons per year. This capacity was further increased to 2.0 million metric tons per year under the project name CM5 by August 2014.
At TPC PLC, we are more than just a cement company. We are a team dedicated to delivering quality and value to our customers, contributing to the infrastructure of Tanzania, and creating a sustainable future
