Tanga Cement is a cement company of Tanzania. The company was founded in 1980 in association with the government of Denmark and in 1989, as a state company of the Tanzanian government, entered into a management contract with Holcim Cement of Switzerland. In 1996, the government began to privatize the company and as of 2007 it is owned primarily by the public and by Holcim Mauritius. Today it is most well known for its simba cement bags, which began production in 1980.
