Operational update
Métier completes the fourth 70m³/ hour plant in Gauteng
Following the announcement on 21 August 2014, Sephaku Holdings Limited (“SepHold”) is pleased to
confirm that Métier Mixed Concrete (Pty) Ltd (“Métier”) has completed the construction of the fourth
plant with a 70m³/hour production capacity in the Gauteng province. Production commenced on 22
September 2014 bringing the total number of plants to eleven (11) with 7 located in KwaZulu Natal.
Métier’s main objective is to achieve relatively high margins through the creation and production of
specialised concretes. These high value concretes constituted 29% of revenue for the financial year
ended 31 March 2014.
Delmas annualised capacity utilisation at 80%
Clinker production at Sephaku Cement (Pty) Ltd’s (“SepCem”) Aganang integrated plant commenced
successfully on 20 August 2014 and cement production is scheduled for October. The internally
produced clinker is expected to significantly enhance the cost efficiencies and competitiveness of
SepCem. To this end and depending on the production mix, SepCem is expected to achieve a
substantial reduction in input costs.
The initial consignment of clinker was delivered to the Delmas milling plant within the first week of
production in August 2014. In September 2014, Delmas plant reached an annualised production
capacity utilisation of 80% which is an indication of the increasing sales ramp up rate since the
beginning of the year. The demand for the SepCem brand has increased significanlty in both the bulk
and retail (bag) markets. The brands acceptance is reflected by its delivery to more than 1000 points
in the targeted markets and approximately 500 order related calls per day being handled by the
Company call centre. Marketing and sales activities have intensified in the North West province ,Free
State province and Botswana in anticipation of cement production at Aganang plant.
SepCem has received support from bag and bulk users and will ensure that its key selling proposition
of consistent quality and exceptional service is extensively pursued. SepCem is producing cement in
all strength classes and plans are in place to increase the 42.5R and 52.5N volumes targeting
technical users.
