About PPC
PPC (formerly Pretoria Portland Cement) is one of southern Africa's largest cement and building-materials producers, manufacturing cement, aggregates, ready-mix concrete and lime. It operates cement plants in South Africa and neighbouring markets such as Zimbabwe, and its products are used across residential, commercial and infrastructure construction. Listed on the JSE, PPC's earnings are highly geared to building and infrastructure activity, cement demand and pricing, and energy costs, so its fortunes track the construction cycle. As a cyclical materials producer, it is a barometer of southern African building activity and has worked to strengthen its balance sheet and focus on its core cement operations.
