Hima Cement Ltd has this morning added a new product on the market, Fundi Masonry Cement, a unique kind of cement for plastering, brick laying and mortar works.

Speaking at the launch at the Hima Cement premises at Namanve Industrial Park, the Hima Cement Country CEO Jean-Michel Pons, said that the company was committed to providing innovative solutions for specific construction needs.

“Fundi is an application-based cement that is formulated with enhanced capabilities for masonry and plaster works. The customer is guaranteed improved workability, affordability and beautiful finishes,” says Jean-Michel Pons, the Hima Cement Country CEO.

Fundi is a masonry cement that achieves superior workability making it the best solution for the quality demands of bricklaying, plasterwork, and screeds; both for individual home builders and large construction projects.

“In addition to addressing the application needs for masonry works, Fundi masonry cement is now the greenest cement on the Ugandan market. It is produced with a reduced carbon footprint, with 54% less carbondioxide emissions in comparison to ordinary Portland cement,” the CEO added.
