Hume Cement Industries Berhad is a Malaysia-based investment holding company and construction materials manufacturer, operating as an integrated cement solutions provider under the Hong Leong Group. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia, the company specializes in the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of cement, clinker, and related building materials for infrastructure, commercial, industrial, and residential construction markets throughout Malaysia and select export destinations. Its core product portfolio, marketed primarily under the Panda brand in bulk supply and 50-kilogram bag formats, includes Ordinary Portland Cement (Panda Blue) for high-strength structural concrete and precast works; Portland Composite Cement (Panda Green) for general construction, masonry, and tiling; Portland Limestone Cement (Panda Yellow) engineered as a low-carbon blended cement for general building applications; Masonry Cement (Panda Red) designed for plastering, bricklaying, and architectural finishes; Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag for high-durability, eco-friendly concrete mixes; and Portland cement clinker manufactured at its integrated production facility in Gopeng, Perak. In recent major corporate and operational developments, Hume Cement Industries Berhad undertook a strategic rationalization to sharpen its focus on core cement manufacturing by divesting its entire 100% equity interest in Hume Concrete Sdn Bhd to YTL Cement (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd for RM215 million, reallocating the proceeds toward core cement plant expansion, operational decarbonization, and working capital. The company has also expanded its sustainable green cement product lines and divested non-core industrial properties to streamline its operational footprint and strengthen its balance sheet.
