Located in the eastern part of Ethiopia, at the entrance of Dire Dawa city, National Cement Share Company (NCSC) has been a pioneer in the country's cement industry since its establishment in 1936. Originally known as the Dire Dawa Cement & Limestone Factory, NCSC has played a vital role in Ethiopia's national development for over 80 years.
Over the decades, NCSC has evolved in response to Ethiopia's changing socio-economic landscape. From private ownership to public, and later to a private-public partnership with the government, NCSC has continuously adapted to different economic paradigms while maintaining its commitment to excellence and sustainability.
In response to the stagnant construction industry and the need for increased cement supply, NCSC embarked on a journey of expansion and modernization. By erecting a new state-of-the-art factory in December 2012 and incorporating the Koka Grinding Plant, NCSC has significantly increased its production capacity to meet the growing demands of the market.
Operating under an integrated quality-oriented management system certified under ISO 9001:2008, NCSC ensures the highest standards of quality and efficiency in its operations. With plans to upgrade to ISO 9001:2015 certification, NCSC reaffirms its dedication to excellence and continuous improvement.
NCSC offers a range of cement products, including Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Pozzolanic Portland Cement (PPC), and a semi-processed cement product called Clinker. Serving both domestic and export markets, NCSC has established itself as a leading player in Ethiopia's cement industry.
