ACC
(ACC Limited) is India's foremost manufacturer
of cement and concrete. ACC's operations
are spread throughout the country with
16 modern cement factories, more than
40 Ready mix concrete plants, 20 sales
offices, and several zonal offices.
It has a workforce of about 10,000 persons
and a countrywide distribution network
of over 9,000 dealers.
Since inception in
1936, the company has been a trendsetter
and important benchmark for the cement
industry in many areas of cement and
concrete technology. ACC has a unique
track record of innovative research,
product development and specialized
consultancy services. The company's
various manufacturing units are backed
by a central technology support services
centre - the only one of its kind in
the Indian cement industry.
ACC has rich experience
in mining, being the largest user of
limestone. As the largest cement producer
in India, it is one of the biggest customers
of the domestic coal industry, of Indian
Railways, and a considerable user of
the country’s road transport network
services for inward and outward movement
of materials and products.
Among the first companies
in India to include commitment to environmental
protection as one of its corporate objectives,
the company installed sophisticated
pollution control equipment as far back
as 1966, long before pollution control
laws came into existence. Today each
of its cement plants has state-of-the
art pollution control equipment and
devices.
ACC plants, mines and
townships visibly demonstrate successful
endeavours in quarry rehabilitation,
water management techniques and ‘greening’
activities. The company actively promotes
the use of alternative fuels and raw
materials and offers total solutions
for waste management including testing,
suggestions for reuse, recycling and
co-processing.
ACC has taken purposeful
steps in knowledge building. We run
two institutes that offer professional
technical courses for engineering graduates
and diploma holders which are relevant
to manufacturing sectors such as cement.
The main beneficiaries are youth from
remote and backward areas of the country.
ACC has made significant
contributions to the nation building
process by way of quality products,
services and sharing expertise. Its
commitment to sustainable development,
its high ethical standards in business
dealings and its on-going efforts in
community welfare programmes have won
it acclaim as a responsible corporate
citizen. ACC’s brand name is synonymous
with cement and enjoys a high level
of equity in the Indian market. It is
the only cement company that figures
in the list of Consumer SuperBrands
of India.
