August - September 2025

Nova Cimangola, Angola's pioneering cement producer, is leading the nation's construction sector through innovation, sustainability, and community-driven growth.

Cementing Angola's Future With Innovation and Sustainability

Nova Cimangola stands at the forefront of the nation's construction and infrastructure landscape. With over 70 years of experience, the company's journey mirrors Angola's growth, as it has navigated historical challenges and embraced modern innovations to secure its role as a leader in sustainable development.

Rooted in Angola's History

Founded in 1958 as part of the Portugal-based Secil Group, Nova Cimangola began as the sole producer of cement in Angola, meeting the demands of the growing postcolonial nation. After Angola's independence in 1975, the company was nationalized and managed by the state. In recent years, it transitioned to a mixed-capital enterprise, operating independently while maintaining its original mission of supporting national infrastructure.

"We have remained steadfast in our commitment to supporting Angola's development through high-quality cement production," says Pedro Pinto, Chairman of Nova Cimangola. The company has consistently adapted to the evolving market landscape, delivering innovative solutions.

Today, Nova Cimangola controls 50% of Angola's cement market, with a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and adaptability. The company operates two manufacturing units with a combined capacity of over 1 million tons of cement clinker annually. The firm produces approximately 120,000 tons of cement each month, meeting the demands of both large-scale infrastructure projects and residential developments.

"This year, we reached full production capacity, selling 100% of what we manufacture," says Pinto, indicating the robust demand for the company's products.
