The HBM story
HBM Nigeria Plc is a leading building materials and construction solutions company and a member of Huaxin Cement Co. Ltd., one of the world's ten largest cement companies. Publicly quoted on the Premium Board of Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX), HBM Nigeria serves the country's housing, commercial construction and infrastructure sectors with a broad portfolio of products and services designed to meet the needs of individual builders, contractors and major construction projects.
The company operates four cement plants across Nigeria: Sagamu and Ewekoro in Ogun State, Ashaka in Gombe State, and Mfamosing in Cross River State. Supported by an extensive distribution network, its operations connect customers across multiple regions with quality building materials and construction solutions.
HBM Nigeria's cement portfolio comprises seven brands and specialised products: ECOCem Elephant Cement, a multipurpose cement for diverse building applications; Supaset, designed for fast setting and rapid strength development; Powermax, a high-strength cement for sophisticated contractor needs; SRC, formulated for sulphate-resistant coastal construction; Watershield, Nigeria's first waterproof cement; ECOCem Unicem, Nigeria's first low-carbon multipurpose cement; and SupaWhyte POP, developed for interior design and creative construction applications.
Beyond cement, HBM Ready Mix delivers concrete and aggregates solutions for projects of different sizes, with operations in Lagos, Ogun, Abuja and Port Harcourt. HBM Supafix, a cementitious tile adhesive made with cement, sand and inorganic and organic additives, offers an efficient solution for floor and wall tiling. Its mortar business combines product quality, Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) certification, operational agility and partnerships with associations supporting artisans and tilers.
Sustainability remains a defining element of HBM Nigeria's business strategy. In 2015, the company became the first cement company in Nigeria to publish a local sustainability report, documenting its social performance and contribution to national development. Its sustainability ambition is organised around four pillars: Climate and Energy, Circular Economy, Nature, and People, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Through HBM Eco, the company uses co-processing to recover energy and recycle materials from municipal and industrial waste streams, including household plastics and industrial chemicals. This approach reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills, conserves resources, supports cleaner communities and helps create environmental and economic benefits.
HBM Nigeria is guided by five core values: Customers, Results, Integrity, Sustainability, and Openness and Inclusion. These principles underpin its commitment to customer satisfaction, innovation, accountability, responsible environmental stewardship, respect for individuals and effective teamwork.
With its manufacturing footprint, diverse product portfolio and focus on sustainable construction, HBM Nigeria Plc continues to support the development of Nigeria's built environment. Through quality, innovation and responsible business practices, the company seeks to deliver lasting value to customers, communities and the wider economy.
