Bangladesh imports much of its stone, limestone, coal and bitumen, and at home it grinds cement from imported clinker and makes ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, glass and pipes. Projects need the right grade, delivered to site on schedule.
Roptan checks the source of the material and a grade or test certificate for each lot, records weight on a weighbridge at delivery, and agrees a delivery schedule before the order.
