BRIEF HISTORY
The company was incorporated in 1980 in Pakistan as public limited company and started its production in 1983.The company is listed on Karachi and Lahore Stock Exchanges (now Pakistan Stock Exchange) and has been engaged in production and marketing of cement. At that time cement sector was government owned and controlled by State Cement Corporation of Pakistan established under Economic Reforms Order, 1972.The company operated under the oversight of State Cement Corporation of Pakistan upto1992, when cement industry was privatized. Dandot Cement Plant was installed in 1982 by State Cement Corporation of Pakistan. The plant was supplied and erected by M/s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Japan. The kiln was designed for a rated capacity of 1,000 M.Ton of clinker per day. The company was acquired by Chakwal Group of Companies in 1992. That management contacted FLSmidth Denmark to increase the capacity upto 1,600 M.Ton per day. The installation work for optimization of the plant was completed in 1994 which enabled to produce 504,000 M.Ton cement per year. Afterwards the company was sold to M/s Gharibwal Cement Company Limitedin 2000 and remained under its control upto 2007. In 2007, company was acquired by Three Star Group of Companies. After 5 years of operations, the management arranged an investment/loan in 2013 formajor maintenance and BMR of the plant. After the BMR the plant is running commendably with enhanced efficiency.
