LafargeHolcim Bangladesh (LHB) sources world-class limestone the basic raw material for Aggregates from its own quarry in Meghalaya, India. This high-quality limestone is transported seamlessly across the border through a 17-kilometer-long belt conveyor, directly to LHB’s integrated building material plant in Chhatak. With an investment of USD 9 million, LHB has set up a state-of-the-art Aggregates manufacturing plant within the premises of its Chhatak plant. At present, Bangladesh imports nearly 15 million tons of clear-sized Aggregates annually. By producing clear-sized graded Aggregates locally, LHB is not only ensuring production of world class quality Aggregates but also supporting the Government’s efforts to save a significant amount of foreign currency for the country.
