- Cherat Cement Company Limited is a Pakistan-based building materials manufacturer primarily engaged in the production, marketing, and distribution of cement and clinker. Operating as a flagship entity of the Ghulam Faruque Group, the company provides a specialized portfolio of building solutions, including Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) marketed under the Cherat Cement brand for high-strength residential, commercial, and infrastructure applications; Sulphate Resistant Cement (SRC) engineered for water retaining structures, marine works, and soils with elevated sulphate content; Portland Composite Cement for general construction and environmental durability; Low Alkali Cement tailored to prevent alkali-silica reactions in large-scale engineering projects; and bulk unground clinker for domestic and regional grinding facilities. The company operates modern production lines situated in Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with an aggregate production capacity exceeding 4.5 million metric tons per annum. Its products serve individual home builders, commercial contractors, industrial developers, and government infrastructure projects across northern and central Pakistan, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and the Islamabad Capital Territory, as well as export corridors into Afghanistan and surrounding regional markets. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Peshawar, Pakistan, with executive corporate operations based in Karachi, the company operates dedicated logistics networks and leverages packaging materials supplied through affiliated group concerns. In recent operational developments, Cherat Cement has implemented major cost-optimization and decarbonization programs, expanding its captive green power infrastructure through the commissioning of on-site solar photovoltaic installations and integrated waste heat recovery (WHR) power generation systems. The company has also increased its thermal substitution rates by expanding the intake of alternative fuels, biomass, and local coal blends to mitigate imported energy costs, while completing plant debottlenecking and digital automation upgrades across its manufacturing lines to enhance operational efficiency.
