Forming plants for the builders supplying Africa's housing push.
Concrete block, brick, tile, dry-mix mortar and AAC plants — commissioned to a rated output you can sell against. Forming plant only: we don't supply crushing, screening, or anything mine-side.
Five plant types.
Concrete block & paver
Static and egg-layer plants sized to real demand — from starter plants to fully automated lines with curing and handling.
Brick & tile
Clay and cement brick and roof-tile forming lines, with drying and handling engineered as part of the system.
Dry-mix mortar
Batching, mixing and bagging plants for plasters, adhesives and screeds.
AAC
Autoclaved aerated concrete plants for producers stepping up to lightweight building systems.
Upgrades
Existing plants brought back to rate — moulds, vibration, controls, curing. Line recovery →
What we don't supply
No crushers, no screens, no quarry or mine-site machinery — in this industry or any other. Forming plant only, stated on purpose.
Three markets carry the demand.
Tanzania is the largest forming market in our footprint (US$14.8M in 2024 UN Comtrade), backed by the national housing programme and the NHC pipeline. Mozambique is the only market of our six where the category is genuinely growing (+23.7%). Ghana holds a steady US$11.6M market.
Elsewhere we'll tell you the honest number — in Zambia, for instance, forming demand is the lowest of our six markets, and we say so on the Zambia page.
Typical budget bands
New forming plant: US$700k–1.5M equipment; landed-and-installed ×1.25–1.45 coastal, ×1.45–1.60 landlocked.
Plant recovery / upgrade: from US$60k. Full cost picture →
