In August 2025, Huaxin became the largest shareholder of Lafarge Africa Plc (LAP), which is a prominent company listed on the Lagos Stock Exchange, Nigeria. It operates four large-scale cement plants in core markets, with a combined cement capacity exceeding 10mtpa.

On June 21, 2026, the name of Lafarge Africa Plc has officially changed to HBMN (Huaxin Building Materials Nigeria Private Limited), marking the company has entered a new stage of development in Nigeria under the HBM brand, demonstrating Huaxin’s resolve to take root locally and pursue win-win development together with local partners.

Drawing on Huaxin Group’s strengths and local talent, HBM Nigeria will continue to expand its business scale, improve operational efficiency, deeply participate in local development, and support the long-term economic and social progress of Nigeria.
