Industrial Explosives: After a 75% Drop at the End of 2025, EPC's Activity Continues to Decline in Cameroon

French group EPC's activity in Cameroon declined by 11% in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, following a 75% drop at the end of 2025 attributed to delivery suspensions during the electoral period. EPC states that the deteriorated political situation in Cameroon continues to impact its operations, without specifying the exact events. Meanwhile, in neighboring Gabon, the company reports a 46% growth in the first half, and across the Africa–Asia-Pacific region, overall activity increased by 14% to 83.7 million euros.
