A New Nation Report :
With its two cement manufacturing factories, one in Mongla, Bagerhat and the other in Madanganj, Narayanganj, Bashundhara Industrial Complex (BICL) has emerged to be the largest cement manufacturing company in Bangladesh. The production capacity of Mongla factory is 2.65 million metric tons per year and the production capacity of Madanganj factory is 2.40 million metric ton per year.
The world’s latest state-of-the-art plant equipped with VRM (vertical roller machine) technology of German origin produces Banshundhara Cement which has got the backing of strong logistic support, wide distribution network, experienced manpower and availability of raw materials and near about 20 years of experiences in cement industry.
While manufacturing superior quality cement, Bashundhara never compromises with quality and to do that it procures clinkers from UBE, Japan and CONCH, China.
Bashundhara’s Portland Composite Cement (PCC) gives high long-term concrete strength. In general, strength gains up to 90 days for other cement whereas Bashundhara Portland Composite Cement gains strength up to five to ten years. Steady strength gaining feature gives Bashundhara Cement extra advantage for durable concrete.
Corrosion of reinforcement is the most widespread cause of deterioration in concrete. The expansion produced by corrosion of embedded reinforcement in concrete causes the surrounding concrete to crack and spoil.
But concrete manufactured with Bashundhara Cement, produces lower permeable and denser concrete, which does allow penetrating water or air inside finished concrete. This also supplements the resistance to sulphate and chloride attacks.
Bashundhara Group is always committed to produce the best quality cement. To produce best quality cement, Bashundhara Group collects best quality raw materials and ensures consistgent product quality in each and every hour by strong monitoring from production process to delivery stage following guidelines of BSTI and relevant international standards.
For better marketing of its cement, Bashundhara Group ensures consistent quality, competitive market price, reliable packaging, availability all over the country, availability in every season, convivial sales and post sales service, delivery within 24 hours and mobile concrete lab facilities.
Of late, Bashundhara Group has started exporting cement. “We have started exporting cement to India beginning from December last,” said Engineer A.K.M. Mahbub-UZ-Zaman, Deputy Managing Director (Cement sector) of Bashundhara Group while talking to this correspondent in the afternoon on January 24 (Sunday) last.
