With production facilities in Pezu (Production capacity: 13,000 Tons per day) as well as
in Karachi (Production capacity: 8000 Tons per day) it has the tendency to become the
hub of cement production in Asia.
In addition, Lucky Cement is aggressively pursuing to develop export markets for cement
to export bulk loose cement from Pakistan to the Gulf Countries, African Markets, and
Far East Region including Nepal & Sri Lanka.
It is the desire of Lucky Cement to put Pakistan on world map as a leading producer &
exporter of loose cement in international market.
Lucky cement has made an investment of over US$ 8 Million to develop the
infrastructure & logistics and is further developing a fleet of cement bulkers to carry
loose cement from its Karachi Plant to the Ports.
For loading cement form the bulkers to vessels, Lucky Cement has a dedicated system for
discharging cement directly from the bulkers to the vessels; at very fast discharge rates,
reducing the vessels idle time in turn making the shipments timely as per the customer
requirements.
Lucky Cement has also installed Jumbo Packers at its Karachi Plant to dispatch cement in
one ton packing requirement.

All this and much more have made Lucky Cement the largest cement producer, with
major emphasis on supply of superior quality cement to its consumers.
CURRENT SCENARIO

Lucky Cement is the largest cement producing company in Pakistan with an annual
capacity of 6.5mtpa. Currently, it is the only company in Pakistan with a plant each in the
country's northern and southern regions, making it ideally located to cater to domestic as
well as Afghan and Middle Eastern export demand.
Lucky currently controls almost 90% of the exports to Middle East and 48% of the
overall Pakistan exports.

As you can see in the chart lucky cement earns a major chunk of its revenue from exports
But most of its revenue is from local sales and it is the market leader in Pakistan with
16% market share locally

4
Lucky has emerged as the market leader in Pakistan last year from the number three
position previously (domestic market share rose to 16% from 8%). The timely
completion of key expansion projects enabled Lucky Cement to exploit the rapidly
growing domestic demand. When peer group companies were busy with their
expansionary work on new projects, the timely expansion has helped the company
outperform industry domestic demand growth by a wide gap.
