Tabligbo is a small town in Togo . It is located in the south of the country, about 50 kilometers from the coast of Togo in the Maritime region and is the capital of the Yoto prefecture. The capital Lomé is about 80 kilometers away in the southwest. About 12 km to the east lies the border with the neighboring state of Benin .
During the German colonial era, the city was a marketplace and an administrative branch subordinate to the district administrator in Anecho .
The CIMAO Cement cement clinker plant , which was in operation from 1980 to 1984, was located in Tabligbo . In 1997 the factory was reopened with the operator WACEM (West Africa Cement). In 1998 the system was sold to the Swedish company Scancem , which in turn became part of HeidelbergCement in 1999 . Today the factory is operated by HeidelbergCement under the name Scantogo .
