PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT & CONSTRUCTION
Butra HeidelbergCement (BHC) Sdn Bhd is the first and
only cement producer in Brunei, serving the nation with
a total production capacity of 500,000 metric tonne per
year. It was first commissioned in 1993 and the first bag of
cement was rolled out in 1996.
In addition to the 62.5 Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC),
BHC launched the 52.5 Portland Composite Cement (PCC)
in September 2017 under the umbrella of the Brunei
Cement brand. Globally acknowledged as a strong and
durable cement, the 52.5 PCC has greater protection
of embedded steel and reduced environmental impact.
The introduction of the 52.5 PCC to the Brunei market
reinforces the company’s strong commitment to build an
avenue for sustainable construction in Brunei.
BHC is proud to continuously accommodate Brunei’s
demand for cement since its establishment, with four
massive storage silos in its plant in the Serasa Industrial
Area. Brunei Cement comes in 50kg bags and is available
at all hardware stores across the country. BHC also
offers Brunei Cement in the form of jumbo bags and bulk
packaging to its distributors and direct clients.
Bruneianisation and Educational Links
BHC has been actively supporting the Government of
Brunei directives by introducing its Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) initiative under the ‘Building a Nation’
banner. Under this CSR initiative, BHC focusses its CSR
programmes under the three pillars of sustainability —
economic, environment and social development.
The company practices a ‘Bruneianisation Policy’ in its
staff recruitment, and to date over 70 per cent of the staff
employed are local. BHC also consistently develops the
staff to undergo training and development programmes
to ensure that quality and efficiency of its workforce are
always evolving according to the global HeidelbergCement
Group standards.
