Clemonic Company limited, a leading cement distributor from Kumasi has emerged the overall top distributor for 2018 at the just ended Ghana Cement’s (Ghacem) Customer Appreciation Night held to reward top cement distributors and customers.
This is the first time Clemonic beat other top distributors after holding the second top distributor position for two consecutive years.
Speaking after receiving the award, Managing Director of Clemonic Company Limited, Clement Effah stated that “It has not been easy to come this far. As a husband, father and businessman, I have been compelled most of the time to leave the family behind to chase after my dream.”
Mr. Effah added that after many years of working with Ghacem, he has no doubt that “Ghacem remains the partner of choice and we pledge our continuous partnership to lead the cement business in Ghana.”
Managing Director of Ghacem, Mr. Morten Gade in his speech noted Ghacem remains the nation builder and by far has the biggest market with over 350 distributors and customers.
Mr. Gade stated that Ghacem seeks to deliver cement products to any part of the country at a competitive price through the use of “our own transport, professional transporters and distributors own transport.”
He further explained that this was to ensure that every distributor had his or her fair share of the product.
Moving forward, the Managing Director noted that Ghacem would roll out new strategies to build stronger partnerships with its distributors and customers this year.
Nana Ehunabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI, a Board Member and Chairman for the event in his remarks stated that Ghacem has so far contributed significantly to the development of the country through the Ghacem Cement foundation.
According to him, the foundation has given cement to various organisations since its inception valued over GH¢13million and “we will continue to support needy organisations to build Ghana.”
