One of Nigeria’s leading building solutions companies has officially entered a new chapter. Lafarge Africa Plc has unveiled a fresh corporate identity and announced that it will now operate as HBM Nigeria Plc, following the completion of all regulatory approvals for its rebranding.
The name change reflects the company’s long-term strategic direction after the acquisition of a controlling stake by China’s Huaxin Building Materials. The transition was approved by shareholders during the company’s Annual General Meeting held on April 30, 2026, before receiving formal approval from the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).
According to the company’s Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, the new identity represents growth and continuity rather than a change in its commitment to Nigeria. He emphasized that HBM Nigeria Plc will continue producing quality cement, concrete, aggregates, and other innovative building solutions that support infrastructure development, housing expansion, and industrial growth across the country.
The company also assured customers, employees, shareholders, investors, suppliers, and host communities that day-to-day operations will continue without disruption. The transition to the new brand will be implemented gradually across its nationwide operations while maintaining the standards and values that have defined the business for decades.
Industry analysts view the rebranding as a significant milestone following Huaxin Building Materials’ acquisition of Lafarge Africa, positioning HBM Nigeria Plc for future expansion while strengthening its role in Nigeria’s construction and infrastructure sectors.
