It is indeed a momentous occasion for All Pakistan Cement Manufacturers Association to convince Intercem which is always the largest gathering of cement producers, sellers, buyers, cement machinery manufacturers and allied services worldwide and conferences are held in middle east, far east, Europe, Africa and USA to host this conference in Pakistan.
Seatrade Group has been closely associated with the cement industry since 2002 in provision of coal, trading of cement and clinker, stevedoring, container handling for mostly all cement mills.
Seatrade was pioneer of bulk cement purchase and handling in Pakistan and also handled the first bagged cement exports and clinker exports out of Pakistan.
Pakistan has a potential to export 12 million tonnes of cement and clinker by road and by sea and produces quality cement and major exporters are DG Khan Cement, Lucky Cement, Maple Leaf Cement, Attock Cement, power cement, Thatta Cement.
The south based mills can export by sea while northern mills market is Afghanistan and India by road.
Earning valuable foreign exchange the cement industry has progressed to more and more markets now in 2016/18 including huge clinker sales to Bangladesh.
New importers are coming every month from Indian Ocean, east Africa, Bangladesh, and Philippines etc. Pakistan has exported cement and clinker to Qatar, UAE, Oman, Yemen, and Abu Dhabi previously during construction boom.
We pray to Allah almighty for success and laurels to the cement industry to bring in valuable foreign exchange.
