What Ecebol does
Ecebol (Empresa Pública Productiva Cementos de Bolivia) is a Bolivian state-owned cement manufacturer headquartered in La Paz, established by Supreme Decree No. 29667 on August 9, 2008 to implement cement production plants across the national territory. Since 2010 the company has operated under SEDEM (Servicio de Desarrollo Productivo) and the supervision of the Ministry of Productive Development and Economy Plural, with an explicit mandate to advance national productive sovereignty and employment generation.
The company produces Portland pozzolanic cement in two core grades — Cemento IP-30 (medium resistance, 30 MPa) and Cemento IP-40 (high resistance, 40 MPa) — and has more recently introduced a Cemento IP-50 line. Manufacturing is based on high-quality clinker blended with natural pozzolan, ground in latest-generation industrial mills to achieve high fineness, with all products certified to Bolivian Standard NB-011. Distribution is direct from the La Paz sales office across three formats: 50kg bags for individual consumers and small projects, 1.5-ton Big Bags for large construction projects, and bulk delivery for high-volume industrial buyers.
Commercially, Ecebol operates a direct-to-buyer model with no publicly disclosed pricing, relying on phone, WhatsApp, toll-free line, and email for sales. Customers are split between a primary construction-industry segment (infrastructure, structural concrete, precast, shotcrete) and a secondary individual-consumer/SMB segment purchasing bagged cement. With 98 employees, no disclosed revenue, no private capital, and an exclusively domestic footprint, the business is structurally a policy-driven industrial entity rather than a commercially driven growth company.
