Message from the Chairman of the Board

Kavan Boukan Cement Company was established in a strategically important region, relying on unique and exclusive advantages. Leveraging these strengths, the company succeeded in securing a distinguished position among numerous domestic competitors in a relatively short period of time. This claim is evidenced by the company’s repeated recognition as a top exporter in the province and its consistently high product quality in recent years. The main competitive advantages of the company include:

Ability to load bulk cement, bagged cement, and soon 1,500-kg slim bags and jumbo bags

Close proximity and easy access to the Iraqi market
High product quality supported by international certificates
Implementation of various management systems, verified through official certifications
Utilization of modern technologies and state-of-the-art machinery in production and loading processes
Access to high-quality raw materials located near the factory, sourced from company-owned mines

With the company’s defined mission of “supplying various types of cement and clinker with a focus on export markets as well as the domestic market,” the sustainable development of export markets remains a key strategic priority. Accordingly, maintaining a strong presence in trade events within target markets and establishing effective cooperation models with both international and domestic business partners will hold significant importance. We also believe that enhancing the company’s competitiveness through a well-structured strategic plan is one of the most essential tools for maintaining and increasing our market share. As always, we remain committed to executing these programs effectively. Farhang Shirzad
