Our Vision & Mission
Our Vision
AJ Cement Company Ltd envisions becoming The Gambia’s leading sustainable cement company, setting the benchmark for industrial safety, environmental responsibility, and inclusive development. We aim to transform the construction sector by ensuring that every bag of cement contributes not only to stronger buildings but also to a stronger nation.
​
Our long-term ambition is to modernize the cement packaging and distribution industry through technology, automation, and renewable energy. By doing so, we seek to build a future where reliable cement supply powers national infrastructure, supports housing development, and strengthens the foundation of inclusive growth across The Gambia and beyond.
Our Mission
Our mission is to import, package and distribute high-quality cement that meets the growing needs of The Gambia’s construction sector while advancing social, economic, and environmental impact. We are committed to:
-
Creating over 250 decent direct jobs and thousands of indirect opportunities.
-
Empowering women through inclusive hiring and leadership roles.
-
Eliminating hazardous manual labor through automated, health-conscious systems.
-
Operating transparently with modern ERP systems and ILO-compliant labor practices.
-
Ensuring sustainable value creation through timely loan repayment, reinvestment into operations, and long-term community development initiatives.
-
To diversify into food processing by transforming The Gambia’s abundant agricultural and fishery resources into high-quality, locally processed products that reduce imports, prevent waste, create jobs, and enhance national food security.
-
Establishing a corporate foundation to empower less privileged women in agriculture and street vending by providing modern farming systems, storage facilities, transportation, and standardized market structures.
By integrating modern technology, social responsibility, and long-term growth strategies, AJ Cement aims to lead The Gambia’s industrial transformation.
Our Commitment
While AJ Cement is still in the pre-construction phase, our foundation is built on strong governance, a clear strategy, and a deep sense of responsibility to The Gambia. We are not just building a cement facility; we are laying the groundwork for sustainable progress, national resilience, and shared prosperity.
