Accra, Jan 25, GNA –
For the second year in a row, Clemonic Company Limited, a leading Ghacem cement
distributor, has won the overall top cement distributor award for 2019.
The company won the
laurels at the just ended Ghana Cement’s (Ghacem) Customer Appreciation Night
held to reward top cement distributors and direct customers.
Speaking after
receiving the top award, Managing Director of Clemonic Company Limited, Clement
Effah, urged Ghacem to fix all the technical issues to ensure constant supply
of cement on the market.
Mr. Effah reiterated
that “Ghacem remains the partner of choice and we pledge continuous partnership
to lead the cement business in Ghana.”
Ehunabobrim Prah
Agyensaim VI, Chairman for the Event and Ghacem Board Member, in his address to
the customers, said Ghacem would continue to place their customers first in all
its dealings.
Nana Prah Agyensaim
VI noted that “we will continue to seek impactful improvement actions as far as
delivering customer excellence is concerned. Ghacem always recognizes the
contribution of customers in its journey, and we wish our partnership will
yield greater growth in 2020.”
He said Ghacem would
continue to champion its long standing corporate social responsibility in the
name of Ghacem Cement Foundation, which targets needy educational and health
institutions with a yearly average of 30,000 bags donated for refurbishment and
expansion.
The Managing
Director of Ghacem, Stefano Gallini, on his part, said the company’s challenges
were many but management had been able to surmount them all.
“Increased
competition and an overcapacity of about six million was a high hurdle, but we
jumped it without breaking a leg,” he said.
In 2020, Mr. Gallini
said Ghacem would play a lead role in supplying quality cement to support the
construction of roads in the country as the government has declared the year as
“year of roads”.
“We expect a market
growth and increased construction activities. We are expectant of what the year
of roads, as declared by the President, brings. We hope to play a key role in
supplying our consistent quality cement to these project sites. To our
customers, do not hesitate to share new project areas with us for good business
partnership at reasonable rates.”
The Managing
Director further explained that ensuring a level playing field for all
manufacturers of cement was a sure way to go, adding that Ghacem, a member of
the second best cement company in the world, is more than willing to take up
the challenge.
“We only ask for
fair competition from all players.”
The Ghacem Customer
Appreciation Night is an annual event held to honour loyal and outstanding
Ghacem cement distributors and customers across the country.
Out of the over 150
distributors and 80 direct customers from across the country, 54 of them were
awarded in categories such as Best Transporter, Most Loyal Distributor, and
Best Sales Representative, among others.
Mississippi Top
Ventures and Awellam Construction Ltd came second and third respectively; with
China Harbour Engineering Co. Gh. receiving the Top Direct Customer Award.
