Business
Steppe Cement Ltd. is a Malaysia-based investment holding company primarily engaged in the production and sale of cement and clinkers in Kazakhstan through its subsidiaries Karcement J.S.C. and Central Asia Cement J.S.C.; it also provides mechanical and electrical consultancy services and electricity transmission and distribution. The company operates two dry-process cement kilns with a combined annual capacity of approximately 2 million tonnes of cement at its manufacturing facility in Aktau Village near Karaganda, central Kazakhstan, approximately 40 kilometers north of Karaganda and 180 kilometers south of Nur-Sultan, utilizing local limestone and clay resources from nearby quarries sufficient for over 100 years; its four wet kilns remain mothballed since 2014 following a transition to the more resource-efficient dry method. Incorporated in 2004 and listed on London's AIM market in 2005 under ticker STCM.L with headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Steppe Cement targets domestic construction and infrastructure markets as one of Kazakhstan's lowest-cost producers with a market share of 13-15%. Recent developments include record clinker and cement production volumes in 2025 with nine-month sales up 28% year-on-year to US$74.9 million and first-half volumes rising 18% to 850,424 tonnes amid a 19% market expansion; commissioning of a new dynamic separator for raw mill 3 and ecological filters for emissions compliance; plans for multi-year investments in Line 6 to boost capacity toward 2.2 million tonnes including preheater extensions and cooler modifications; and a proposed restructuring of a US$27 million intercompany loan into a listed bond for financing flexibility.
