Heidelberg Materials Bangladesh PLC is one of the largest producers of quality cement in Bangladesh. HCBL is a member of HeidelbergCement (HC) Group, Germany. The group has 142 years of experience in producing cement and is operating in more than 60 countries. It has around 58,000 employees who work at more than 3,000 production sites and its reported annual turnover is equivalent to €18,075 million. In Bangladesh, it represents two reputed brands namely “RubyCement” and “ScanCement”.
In 1998, HC Group established its presence in Bangladesh by setting up a floating terminal with onboard packing facilities in the port of Chittagong and by distributing the cement to the key markets of Dhaka and Chittagong. In 1999, the Group further strengthened its position in Bangladesh and built a Greenfield manufacturing plant near Dhaka, namely “ScanCement International Limited” with an installed capacity of 0.750 million tons per year. In 2000, HC Group bought a minority position in a Chittagong based company namely “Chittagong Cement Clinker Grinding Co. Limited (CCCGCL)” quickly followed by the acquisition of controlling stake. The plant in Chittagong has an installed capacity of 0.7 million tons per annum.
In 2003, the two companies were amalgamated and the Company’s name was changed to HeidelbergCement Bangladesh Limited. Since 2004, the Company has diversified its product range by introducing Portland Composite Cement (PCC) into the market. The Company also produces other types of cement name Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). The Company further increased the capacity of its Kanchpur plant by setting up another grinding unit of 0.45 million tons per year that was commissioned in 2008. The company has also increased the capacity of its Chittagong plant by installing another grinding unit of 0.750 million tons per year that is in operation from the end of 2011 and the Company inaugurated the cement mill in 2012. Both the plants are certified according to the globally applicable environmental management system standards – 14001. In 2013, the Company installed another Cement Silo with a capacity of 8,000 Tons in its Kanchpur Plant as a part of its Silo project that helped to increase the productivity of the Company. On 05 December 2019, HCBL acquired Ultratech Cement Bangladesh Limited to further cement its place in Bangladesh’s Cement Industry – Annual production capacity added 0.6 million tons per year.
