Attock Cement Pakistan

What Attock Cement Pakistan does

Attock Cement Pakistan Limited (ACPL) is a Pakistan-based cement manufacturer founded in 1981 and listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange under ticker ACPL. The company operates four production lines at a single integrated complex in Hub, Balochistan, with installed capacity of 4 million tons per annum as of FY24, and sells its output under the proprietary "Falcon" brand across four core products: Ordinary Portland Cement, Sulphate Resistant Cement, Falcon Block Cement, and Falcon Rock Cement. ACPL is positioned as a quality-focused cement producer — its Quality Control Lab is the first and only in Pakistan accredited to ISO 17025 by the Pakistan National Accreditation Council, and the Falcon brand carries international certifications from BIS, SABS, SLSI, BSI, and ASTM, enabling multi-country exports.

ACPL generates revenue through one-time unit sales of bagged and bulk cement and clinker across three channels: a domestic direct sales force, a dedicated Project Cell serving government and semi-government organizations, and an export operation shipping to approximately 15 countries across South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa via break bulk, containerized, and sling-bag modes, with private-label supply available at a 100,000-bag MOQ. Pricing is set through periodically published Maximum Retail Prices with export pricing varying by destination standard (BIS, KABS, SABS, IS, SLSI). The customer base is horizontally diversified across construction, infrastructure (e.g., Lyari Expressway, KPT, Jinnah Terminal Karachi), healthcare (Agha Khan Hospital, SIUT), industrial (Hubco Power Plant, Artistic Milliners), and export segments.

In April 2026, control of ACPL transferred from Pharaon Investment Group Holding S.A.L. to a joint acquirer group of Fauji Cement Company Limited (FCCL) and Kot Addu Power Company Limited (KAPCO), each taking 42.03% for a combined ~92% economic stake at Rs 330.41 per share, following Competition Commission of Pakistan approval. A new CEO, Omer Ashraf, was appointed effective May 2, 2026. The company continues to operate and remains listed on PSX under its new sponsor group.
