He emphasized the historical importance of this product, highlighting its overall affordability, making it accessible for all Liberians to build their homes at a lower cost.

    Cemenco pointed out that while some individuals can afford to purchase cement for $8 per bag, others cannot. "Cemenco has introduced the new "Superplast" cement to address this disparity." We expressed our desire to witness a shift from mud houses to sustainable and economical homes and to provide homeownership opportunities to all Liberians. "Today marks a significant moment in our journey here at Cemenco. When we do business, we must assess our market position. Are we the leader? If not, we must find solutions to become the leader. If we are the leader, we must find solutions to maintain our position. This requires innovation, understanding the citizens, and working towards sustainable solutions" said Mr. William P.H. Gaignard Cemenco's Managing Director.

    Mr. Gaignard also highlighted Cemenco's commitment to developing the construction sector in Liberia, emphasizing that their mission extends beyond selling cement to improving the population's economic well-being. Introducing this new cement product is expected to lower construction costs, making it more affordable for all Liberians.
