What Bursa Cimento does

Bursa Çimento Fabrikası A.Ş. is a Turkish cement manufacturer established on July 14, 1966, headquartered in Kestel, Bursa, and publicly traded on Borsa İstanbul under the ticker BUCIM. The company operates a single integrated cement complex at Kestel plus a cement mixing and packaging facility in Kütahya, producing clinker at 1,400,000 tons/year capacity and grinding cement at 2,850,000 tons/year capacity after decades of expansion from a 1969 commissioning of 230,000 tons/year clinker and 250,000 tons/year cement. Core production follows conventional rotary-kiln clinkerization at 1,350–1,450 °C with integrated cement grinding, supplemented by an ATY alternative-fuel facility (commissioned October 2011) that processes high-calorific industrial waste, and a Waste Heat Recovery plant (commissioned August 2013) that supplies approximately 20-25% of factory electricity. Quality control is supported by a POLAB AMT online sampling and analysis system from Thyssen Krupp Industrial Solutions (commissioned August 2015) with self-learning adaptive mixture control, plus an on-site TSE-approved laboratory.

The product portfolio consists of TS EN 197-1 compliant cements: CEM I 42.5 R Portland, CEM II/A-LL 42.5 R Portland limestone, two CEM II/A-M 42.5 R Portland composite variants (pozzolan-limestone and pozzolan-fly ash), and CEM IV/B (P-V) 32.5 N pozzolanic cement, packaged in bulk, kraft bags, big-bags, and sling-bags. Bursa Cimento sells direct to B2B customers including construction firms, readymix concrete producers, and infrastructure developers across Turkey, via field sales representatives and an online ordering/payment portal (odeme.bursacimento.com.tr). Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of cement and clinker, with secondary revenue from accredited laboratory testing services. Sustainability positioning is supported by ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 50001 certifications, ISO 14064 carbon footprint verification (2023, 2024), and Green Cement Certificates across the CEM II and CEM IV portfolio.
