How Kasma produces 1.56 million HCB blocks to ES 596 standards
Kasma Engineering PLC operates one of Addis Ababa's integrated HCB production lines at its Akaki Kality plant. With annual capacity of 1.56 million blocks, the facility supplies Kasma's own construction projects and external wholesalers across the capital region.
Production follows Ethiopian Standards ES 596:2001 and EBCS 2:1995, ensuring blocks meet national structural and durability requirements. In-house quality control reduces reliance on imported materials and keeps delivery timelines predictable for contractors.
“Consistent block quality starts at the plant — and Kasma controls that from raw materials to finished product.”
