Dangote Flour Mills Plc commenced operations in 1999, as a division of Dangote Industries Limited.
Following the decision of DIL to unbundle its various operations, Dangote Flour Mills Plc was incorporated in 2006. The restructuring was completed in January 2006, when all the assets, liabilities and undertakings of the flour division of DIL was transferred to Dangote Flour Mills Plc.
From an initial installed capacity of 500 tonnes per day at its Apapa mill, Dangote Flour has expanded by opening three other flour mills in Kano (2000), Calabar (2001) and Ilorin (2005).
All mills have a combined milling capacity of 4,800 tonnes per day.
On July 25, 2016, Dangote Flour Mills Plc, formerly Tiger Branded Consumer Goods Plc, obtained a new certificate of incorporation from the Corporate Affairs Commission bearing the new name. The name change also was implemented by both the Nigerian Stock Exchange and the Central Securities Clearing System on July 25.
In April, Dangote Industries announced it would be making changes to the flour mill business it purchased back from Tiger Brands in December 2015.
The changes included renaming the business from Tiger Branded Consumer Goods Plc (TBCG) back to Dangote Flour Mills. Tiger had changed the name to TBCG in mid-2015, just months before it pulled funding for the business.
Tiger Brands had purchased the flour mill business from Dangote in 2012, but after years of losses and millions of dollars in writedowns, Tiger sold its 65.7% stake in the business back to Dangote for $1.
