Tvornica Cementa Kakanj grows sales as market in Bosnia & Herzegovina improves

04 April 2018

Bosnia & Herzegovina: Tvornica Cementa Kakanj’s (TCK) sales revenue grew by 13.3% year-on-year to Euro48.5m in 2017 from Euro42.8m in 2016. Its sales volumes of cement rose by 12.3% to 0.49Mt from 0.43Mt. Its earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) rose by 12.5% to Euro8.89m from Euro8.09m. It attributed the growth to continued growing market at home in Bosnia & Herzegovina.

General director Branimir Muidža said that the subsidiary of Germany’s HeidelbergCement started adding new cement silos to its plant in 2017 with completion scheduled for 2018. It has also started preparing its plants to use refuse-derived fuel (RDF).

Total consumption of cement in Bosnia & Herzegovina was estimated to be 1.2Mt in 2017, a rise of 6% from 2016. The boost was pinned on construction of a new road project.

Tvornica Cementa Kakanj expects flat output in 2015

10 March 2015

Bosnia: Bosnia's Tvornica Cementa Kakanj (TCK) has forecast that its cement output will be flat in 2015 after producing 420,000t in 2014, according to company director Branimir Muidza. TCK is majority-owned by Dutch-based CEEM Investment, a unit of Germany's HeidelbergCement.

"Our cement production fell by around 10% in 2014, which was probably the most difficult year since the war for the Bosnian economy and its citizens. The country went through political turmoil in February 2014, followed by record floods in May 2014 and August 2014 and elections in October 2014," said Muidza.

Extraordinarily high rainfall affected Bosnia and Herzegovina between 14 May 2014 and 19 May 2014, the largest precipitation in 120 years. The European Union's delegation in Bosnia said in July 2014 that the cost of the total economic impact from the subsequent devastating floods that hit large parts of Bosnia was Euro2bn.

TCK's total revenues are projected to stagnate in 2015, given that in the first quarter of the year there will be no new major infrastructure works. Those that are expected to resume will mainly do so in the second half of the year. TCK's business outlook for 2015 is based on the low purchasing power of the population, a lack of foreign investments, political instability, a decline in personal consumption of building materials, job insecurity and the expected dynamics and intensity of planned public infrastructure works. Bosnia is expected to consume 1.1 - 1.2Mt in 2015, mostly unchanged from 2014.

Muidza is much more optimistic for 2016 onwards. Large government investments in public infrastructure and energy facilities, such as the pan-European Corridor, new units at thermal power plants Tuzla and Ugljevik and the new hydro power plant Vranduk, could help boost demand for construction materials in the country.

TCK plans to build a new Euro10.2m cement silo by 2018. Construction is expected to start later in 2015. There are also plans to install equipment that will enable the rail transport of bulk cement. During 2015, TCK will also finish a Euro1.53m project for the automation of its cement milling and packing operations.

Positive future for TCK in face of continued headwinds

19 July 2013

Bosnia-Herzegovina: The Bosnian-Herzegovinian cement producer Tvornica Cementa Kakanj (TCK), part of Germany's HeidelbergCement, has announced that it expects its net profit to increase by 20 - 25% to Euro5.6 - 6.1m in 2013, while it expects cement sales to be broadly flat at around 425,000t. The effects from ongoing investment and process-optimisation measures are expected to kick in in 2013, generating savings that should lead to the projected rise in net profit, according to company director Branimir Muidza. Speaking to regional news agency SeeNews, he described the targets as ambitious and optimistic but not unrealistic.

TCK is making its claims in the midst of a Bosnian market that is estimated to require only 1.05Mt of cement in 2013, a decrease from the 1.10Mt/yr consumed in 2012. In 2008 - 2009 cement consumption was as high as 1.85Mt. Muidza expects that the lack of new investments in the industrial sector and new infrastructure, rising unemployment, illiquidity in the construction sector and a crisis in the real estate market would lead to a continued slump.

Muidza said that the expected impact on TCK's business from the recent EU accession of Croatia, which is the company's largest export market, would not cause problems for TCK, as its cement is already made to EU standards. He added that if Croatia benefits from EU accession further down the road, so will TCK.

Going forward, TCK's investment pipeline for the 2013 - 2014 period features a project for the automation of cement milling and packing operations, modernisation of its sampling laboratory, upgrade of its weighing system, construction of an administrative building and procurement of new IT equipment. No production capacity upgrades have been planned over the medium term as the existing capacity is sufficient to meet the current market demand.

When it comes to long-term investments, which covers the period until 2018, the company plans the construction of a cement silo which should further expand the range of its products and therefore put it in a better competitive position. The cost of the investment is currently thought to be US$10.3m.
