Dangote Industries Limited has entered into a strategic partnership with XCMG Construction Machinery Co. Ltd, one of China’s leading construction and mining equipment manufacturers, to accelerate infrastructure development, industrial growth and green project development across Africa.
The cooperation agreement signed by the two companies will see them collaborate in key areas such as mining, petrochemicals, building materials, agriculture and large-scale infrastructure, leveraging the collective strengths of both companies to drive long-term value creation and regional industry expansion.
Dangote Group, Africa’s largest diversified industrial conglomerate, operates across cement production, fertilizers, petrochemicals, food processing, agriculture, ports, logistics and mining in Nigeria and other African countries.
The company is currently expanding its production capacity and regional footprint as part of its goal to grow into a $100 billion business by 2030.
A founding company in China’s construction machinery industry, XCMG has a global presence ranging from construction equipment, mining equipment, agricultural machinery, emergency rescue systems, and commercial vehicles, with products sold in more than 190 countries and regions.
The company is also pursuing a transition to high-end, intelligent and environmentally friendly manufacturing.
Under the agreement, XCMG will deploy a dedicated project team to provide integrated equipment and service solutions for Dangote’s businesses, including open pit mining, petrochemicals, building materials, and agricultural processing, among others.
The Chinese company will also leverage its extensive sales and service network in Africa to support Dangote’s projects, as well as facilitate technology exchanges and talent training visits to China.
The main pillars of the partnership are sustainability and innovation, with both companies committed to jointly developing electrical and new energy equipment, introducing intelligent solutions, and promoting benchmarking of environmentally friendly projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions and operating costs.
The framework further provides for preferential consideration of each party in projects arising from the partnership, subject to applicable laws and policies, and emphasizes the parties’ common commitment to mutual growth and industrial development.
The agreement reflects Dangote Group’s broader efforts to deepen Africa’s industrial capabilities through strategic global partnerships, while also aligning with XCMG’s ambitions to expand its footprint and service offerings across Africa as infrastructure, mining and green investment momentum increases.
