Cimencam: nearly 200 jobs threatened by the shutdown of the Cimfig plant in Figuil

The shutdown of Cimencam's plant in Figuil, in the North region, threatens nearly 200 direct jobs. The Bidzar quarry, which supplies raw materials, is also halted. Local cement shortages are emerging, with customers requesting refunds. The plant, operated by Cimfig (a subsidiary of LafargeHolcim Maroc Afrique), stopped operations in early June due to a 'major energy crisis' after being disconnected from the Northern interconnected grid by the Cameroonian electricity company Socadel.
