Accordingly, Mongla Cement Factory (MCF) started its journey in 1994 as equipped with modern, sophisticated and automated equipment/machineries. Finally, Lt General Mahbubur Rahman, psc, the chief of Army staff formally inaugurated MCF on 8 March 1997. To meet up the ever growing demand of Cement Mill-2 was erected in 2002.

To ensure product diversification and ever growing market demand, another cement mill (Mill-3) is established at the same premises equipped with latest technology and is operating since mid 2016 satisfactory.
