Established in 1892, PPC has tracked the growth and development of South Africa, producing the cement used to build many of the country's iconic landmarks and construction projects, including the Union Buildings, Gariep Dam, Van Staden's River Bridge, Gautrain, Medupi Power Station, and Cape Town's Green Point Stadium. A truly African success story, PPC reflects the strength of its people, products, and services. As it expands into the rest of Africa, PPC will deploy its sustainable business model - one built to last - and continue to work towards being the brand of choice in its chosen marketplace.
