Lafarge Surma Cement Ltd.
Lafarge Surma Cement Ltd. (LSC) was incorporated on 11 November 1997 as a private limited company in Bangladesh under the Companies Act 1994 having its registered office in Dhaka. On 20 January 2003 Lafarge Surma Cement Ltd. was made into a public limited company.
The Company is listed in Dhaka and Chittagong Stock Exchange. Today, Lafarge Surma Cement Ltd. has more than 20,000 shareholders. In November 2000, the two Governments of India and Bangladesh signed a historic agreement through exchange of letters in order to support this unique cross border commercial venture and till date it is the only cross border industrial venture between the two countries. Since Bangladesh does not have any commercial deposit of limestone, the agreement provides for uninterrupted supply of limestone to the cement plant at Chhatak in Bangladesh by a 17 km long belt conveyor from the quarry located in the state of Meghalaya.
