About Us
Bestway Cement Limited is part of the Bestway Group of the United Kingdom. Bestway Group was founded by Sir Mohammed Anwar Pervez nearly thirty three years ago on what could be best described as one man’s vision and passion. Since then it has translated into a unique and successful group of businesses spread across the globe with the help of committed, professional and hardworking management and staff, together with loyal customers and suppliers. The Group has a well diversified portfolio incorporating within its folds cement manufacturing, global banking, wholesale cash & carry business, a string of retail outlets, real estate investment, ethnic food and beverage import and distribution and milling of rice. Recently the group has embarked upon a large power generation project in Pakistan thus further diversifying its operations and revenue base.
Bestway Group is an example of a dynamic enterprise. Over the last three decades the Group has achieved remarkable success and positioned itself amongst United Kingdom’s top 10 privately owned companies.
Bestway is U.K’s second largest cash and carry operator in terms of turnover with group annual turnover in excess of US Dollars 3.6 billion and profits in excess of US Dollars 135 million; the second largest cement producer in Pakistan and joint owner of Pakistan’s third largest bank, United Bank Limited. Its rice milling facilities are one of the largest of its kind in the country. The group is the largest overseas Pakistani investor with investments in excess of US Dollars 1 billion and a global workforce of over 22,000 people spread over four continents.
In response to successive governments’ efforts to attract foreign investment in the country Bestway Group has invested heavily in Pakistan. In just over a decade Bestway’s cement production capacity is set to more than quadruple to over 6.0 million tonnes per annum, making Bestway the second largest cement producer in the country.
In early 1992 when the Group decided to set up its first cement plant it faced multiple challenges mainly due to a lack of credibility as a business due to the absence of a track record in Pakistan. The domestic economy was highly inhospitable characterized by high interest rates, high inflation and low liquidity leading to a general economic and political inertia. It has however successfully exhibited its managerial dynamism and technical excellence in setting up and managing the manufacturing facilities and achieving market dominance through its diversification strategy by investing in the local cement industry and continues to be bullish about Pakistan.
Even during the period of economic slowdown and recession in the country in the late 1990’s which adversely affected the profitability of the industry Bestway was able to record pre tax profits even at 60% capacity utilization. The Company has been amongst the leaders in the recent market boom, operating at above 100% of its installed capacity.
