BUSINESS REPORT

The Lafarge Surma Cement authorities have decided to seek legal assistance to identify and take action against the group, who has recently distributed leaflets against the company in Sylhet.

Head of Communications and CSR of Lafarge Surma Cement Ltd Mohiuddin Babar said in a written statement, that his company had registered a general diary (GD) against the unidentified group, who tried to defame the company on the basis of fallacious information against their products quality.

According to him, attention is drawn to the circulation of leaflets, containing false accusations against the Supercrete product of his company.

"These remarks are baseless, unfounded and ill-motivated," he added.

He also discarded all the accusations which were made in the leaflet, claiming that the company was producing low quality products that could not be used in any construction.

"The state-of-the-art Lafarge Surma Cement plant at Chhatak has been built by the world's leader in building materials Lafarge of France and renowned Spanish cement maker Cementos Molins and started production in 2006," he said.

The plant is equipped with a sophisticated quality control laboratory that continuously tests the properties of the final product before it is sold to our customers. It is the only laboratory in Bangladesh, which has such sophisticated and reliable equipments, materials and quality control systems, he added.

"In addition to our own testing which is done on line on a daily basis, we regularly have our cement tested by BUET, an independent external laboratory," he elaborated.

According to him, all the BUET test results so far have exceeded the standard requirements for cement. Accusing our products is surely an act of deliberate offense against our reputation and we are committed to defeat them through legal means, Head of Communications of Lafarge Surma Cement Mohiuddin Babar added.
