PPC is a provider of 100% LOCAL 100% QUALITY premium building products

PPC is an iconic material and solutions provider of quality and consistent cement, aggregates, ready-mix and fly ash. We also provide technical support to our customers. PPC’s story stretches back over 130 years to where we were first incorporated on the outskirts of Pretoria in 1892. As the first cement plant in South Africa, we have established ourselves as a resilient organisation by adapting to ever-changing economic, operating and political environments. This Sub-Saharan brand continues to grow beyond South African borders into Botswana, Zimbabwe, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda where our footmark extends. We are proud to be a leading provider of quality building materials and solutions to empower people to experience a better quality of life.

PPC is honoured to be making contributions to the quality of education through our strength beyond initiatives. One such initiative has been the construction of Redeemed Kids Kingdom Pre-school, providing a safe and conducive learning environment for early childhood development. Moreover, through our SUREACADEMY Technical Skills Centre we have implemented job creation programs, a Graduate Development Program that offers work experience opportunities for recent graduates and a Yes Program initiative that offers employment opportunities to unemployed youth. At the centre of our 100% quality products, PPC believes in quality workmanship, hence we have trained at least 4 000 brick makers and provided CETA Accredited bricklaying, plastering and construction management training courses to at least 200 SMMEs. Through these Strength Beyond initiatives PPC is playing a vital role in improving the quality of education, fostering job creation, and promoting skills development for the betterment of communities and an improved quality of life.
