Following the divestment by LafargeHolcim Maroc Afrique, LafargeHolcim Guinée S.A. will adopt a new corporate identity and henceforth operate under the name “Ciments de Guinée S.A.”, thus reaffirming its historic roots and commitment to local integration.
“Ciments de Guinée now embodies an industrial vision driven by committed, long-term investors. Our objective is to consolidate operational performance, strengthen local impact, and contribute actively to the country’s economic transformation,” stated Nirilanto Rafilibera, Director of Hillside Triumph.
A Strategy of continuity and openness
Hillside Triumph’s approach is centred on:
- Ensuring the continuity of operations and preservation of existing social benefits;
- Strengthening industrial capabilities through a phased investment plan;
- Establishing a durable local presence, built on the mobilisation of talent, partnerships, and cooperation with public stakeholders.
This change in governance presents a unique opportunity to reposition the company as a robust, competitive, and socially responsible local player.
The transaction also reflects the Guinean government’s commitment to fostering private sector investment by adopting an open and incentive-based approach. By voluntarily waiving traditional control mechanisms, authorities have created a conducive environment for both domestic and international capital to engage. Such a
policy underscores the importance attached to industrial development and economic diversification, while reinforcing investor confidence in major structural projects.
