Attock Cement Pakistan Limited

Introduction: The journey of Attock Cement Pakistan Limited (ACPL) started in the year 1981 and the company started its commercial production in 1988. In 3 decades, the Company has grown from 2000 tons per day to 10,000 tons per day. Products: ACPL's brand "Falcon" and products i.e. OPC, SRC & Block Cement enjoy immense popularity all over Pakistan as well as in the international markets due to its superior quality. ACPL has cemented its place not only in the local market but also in international markets such as Sri Lanka, Iraq, Mauritius, Tanzania, Djibouti, India, East Africa, etc. Jinnah International Airport, MCB Tower and Pearl Continental Gawadar are some of the major projects in which FALCON has been used in Pakistan. People: We don't care about hierarchy. We care about people – simple. Our journey of 3 decades has taught us that people are more important than systems & processes. And therefore, we provide a pleasant working environment where people find constant opportunities for development. We follow the principle of investing in the future of employees and training them in such a way that they can assume leadership roles of tomorrow. We believe ACPL is a family rather than an organization and the growth of the Company goes side by side with this family. CSR: We are proactive in providing employment opportunities in one of the least developed areas of Pakistan i.e. Sakran, Hub, where the manufacturing facilities of the Company are located. Plus, among its' many CSR activities, ACPL fully sponsors 02 schools where around 500 students are enrolled. The Company also provides financial assistance to poor families. It operates a free 6 beds hospital in the area & supplies free drinking water to nearby villages through filter plants. We therefore, always feel pride in saying that "Falcon builds concrete relationships.'
