Neptune Holding Cameroon’s First Tyre Factory

DOUALA, Cameroon – Neptune Holding Company, a Cameroonian-owned enterprise, proudly announces its ambitious venture to establish the first-ever tyre factory in Bomono, situated near Douala. Named Cameroon Tires Factory (CTF), this milestone project is planned in collaboration with Black Donuts and signifies a significant economic boost for the nation.

Highlights:

Job Creation: The project, as it is known, expects to generate between 2,000 and 2,500 direct jobs and as many as 5,000 indirect positions, invigorating the local job market.
Projected Output: The factory is set to roll out an impressive 4.6 million tyres annually, which includes 4 million car tyres and 600,000 truck tyres.
Investment Scope: The project is estimated of approximately 400 billion Central African Francs (£531 million; $649 million; 612 million euros).
Branding: Tyres manufactured at CTF will be branded “Afri Star”.
Timeline: Groundbreaking is set for October, with a targeted production launch in 2025.

Earlier this year, along with Black Donuts representatives, Neptune Holding met with Cameroon’s Minister of Commerce. The Director-General of CTF and Neptune Holding, Antoine Ndzengue, provided a comprehensive overview of the venture. One of CTF’s core objectives is to recalibrate domestic demand and diminish the prevalence of the local second-hand tyre market. The location in Bomono, adjacent to the Cameroon Development Company (CDC) oil palm and rubber plantations, ensures easy access to natural rubber supplies.
