BUA Gypsum Plaster Limited, a subsidiary of BUA Group, has commenced operations at its cutting-edge Plaster of Paris (P.O.P.) and plasterboard manufacturing plant in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

The newly opened plant, boasting a production capacity of 2,400 tonnes per day, is set to increase local production and meet the rising demand for plaster products. This landmark development, which makes the facility the largest gypsum plaster production plant in Nigeria, is expected to strengthen the country’s self-sufficiency and reduce its dependence on foreign imports.

BUA Group, established in 1988, has become a formidable force in the Nigerian business landscape, with a diversified portfolio spanning manufacturing, mining, foods, and infrastructure sectors. Over the years, the company has made a series of strategic investments in various sectors, including cement manufacturing, construction, real estate, plaster production, and quarrying, solidifying its reputation as one of Nigeria’s most prominent business groups

Commenting on the group’s latest development, Abdul Samad Rabiu, founder/chairman of BUA Group, stated, “The commencement of production at BUA Gypsum Plaster Ltd. is a major milestone in our efforts to support Nigeria and West Africa’s infrastructure development. With a daily production capacity of 2,400 tonnes, this facility will serve the housing and construction sectors, significantly reducing dependence on imported gypsum plaster products.”

In a bid to uphold quality and ensure customer satisfaction, BUA Gypsum Plaster Limited is extending an invitation to businesses and distributors to register for product access and distribution rights. This limited-time offer, which aims to foster a more exclusive distribution network, will be open for registration until December 31st, after which point product access will only be granted to registered companies.

In celebration of the newly opened plaster plant, BUA Gypsum Plaster Limited is offering a special introductory price of N8,000 per bag (ex-factory) for distributors who complete their registration by the end of December.

Rabiu, speaking on behalf of BUA Gypsum Plaster Limited, described the limited-time offer as a unique opportunity for partners to join the company in supporting local manufacturing, while simultaneously reaping the benefits of exceptional value.
