HISTORY
There is hardly any other product that has so greatly
contributed to the growth of modern human civilization as
Cement. The massive urban infrastructure that we see
today across the world would have been unthinkable
without cement. Cement is the root substance that has
given the essential element of strength and durability to our
houses, schools, offices and other buildings so that we can
occupy them with peace of mind.
The word Cement literally means a substance that can bind
material together and can acquire strength on hardening.
The cement as we know today is a specialised building
material which is a result of various innovations over the
past and is made in sophisticated manufacturing facilities.

The oldest use of cement dates back to the thousands of

years old Egyptian civilisation. The Egyptians used natural
cement made by combining limestone and gypsum for the
construction of their massive and highly impressive
pyramids. The fact that the Egyptian Pyramids have proudly
stood the test of time over such a long period of human
history is a testimony to the phenomenal strength of
cement. However it must be stated that the ancient
Egyptian cement was very different from the cement in use
today.
Later in the Roman era, the concept of cement advanced
further. Romans used a combination of slaked lime with
Pozzolana, a volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius. The
Romans made
many impressive structures using this cement. The Basilica
of Constantine is one popular example of Roman
construction in which they used such cement mortar.

In eighteenth century England, John Smeaton, a British

engineer, was assigned the task of reconstructing the
Eddystone Lighthouse, a structure that had witnessed
repeated structural failure. In 1756, Smeaton conducted a
number of experiments that led to the discovery that
cement made from limestone containing a considerable
proportion of clay would harden under water. Based on this
discovery, Smeaton rebuilt this lighthouse in 1759 and this
time, it stood strong for 126 years.
Subsequently, until the early part of the nineteenth century,
large quantities of natural cement was used, that was made
with a combination of naturally occurring lime and clay.
In 1824, Joseph Aspdin, a British mason obtained a patent
on his hydraulic cement formula that closely resembled the
modern cement as we know today. He called this cement
Portland Cement, and it was made through the
proportionate mixing, burning and the subsequent grinding
of a combination of clay and limestone. Cement went
through many more improvements and developments in
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The industrial
revolution and the subsequent development of the rotary
kiln paved the way for huge and sophisticated cement
manufacturing plants. These plants possess the capability of
a homogenous mixing and intense heating of the raw
material thus vastly improving the quality of the cement
produced. The sophisticated quality-testing equipment
employed by modern cement plants further helps in
ensuring the quality of the cement produced.
TYPES OF PRODUCT
Upholding the tradition of JK Organisation for maintaining
the highest standards in quality, JK Lakshmi Cement today is
one of the most preferred brands in its marketing area with
a network of about 2200 dealers spread in the states of
Rajasthan, Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana, U.P., Punjab, J&K, MP
and Mumbai. Our endeavour is always to give our best and
maintain the highest standards of customer satisfaction. No
wonder the discernible buyers prefer this cement over
other brands owing to its consistency, higher level of quality
and impeccable customer service.

Also not surprising is the fact that the decision makers of

the nation's important projects like IGNP, SardarSarvorar
Dam and major corporations like L&T, Reliance, Essar and
Airport Authority of India chose JK Lakshmi Cement over
other brands.
JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd is also the first Cement
Manufacturer in North India to use coloured bags to help
the customer in segregating different products. It also has a
regular contact program with masons, dealers and
architects to keep in tune with their needs and
requirements. One of the many innovative initiatives the
company took was to have a mason's club that now has
over 45,000 members. Under this program the masons are
given an insurance cover against accidents absolutely free
of cost, besides educating them on the latest in construction
activities.
The high standard of advertising has been another feather
in the cap of JK Lakshmi Cement Ltd. This has not only
helped it to reach out to its customers but also in
connecting with them at an emotional level. No wonder
then that "Mazbooti Guaranteed" is now a term that is
synonymous with JK Lakshmi Cement.
