Sino-Zimbabwe Cement Company (SZCC) has been certified by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). The majority of the company's cement products are consumed in Zimbabwe with a small amount of exports. The ISO certification will make it easier for the producer to market its products internationally.
Mr Wang Yong, SZCC managing director said: "We applied for ISO approval and we were successful because a few weeks ago we received an approval. This is after we continually produced and supplied quality products. The certification that we got from the ISO is a systems qualification. Our products are also certified by Standards Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ)," he said.
SZCC manufactures three types of cement – MC22.5X, PC 32.5N and 42.5N. Later this year the company will start producing PC 42.5R to meet the increasing demand for infrastructure construction in Zimbabwe. Currently the Gweru factory products 0.3Mta of cement.
