Background
The Beočin Cement Plant is one of the oldest plants in the Balkans, originally utilizing local marl, notably supplying materials for the construction of the chain bridge between Buda and Pest. By 1910, the plant had expanded its capacity to produce 600 tons of Portland clinker daily, operating 20 kilns, and had installed a funicular to connect the facility with the "Erdelj" quarry. In April 2002, the French multinational Lafarge acquired a 70% stake in Beočinska Fabrika Cementa (BFC). Following Lafarge's acquisition in 2002, over €120 million was invested in modernizing the plant. This comprehensive upgrade of three outdated kilns. In 2006, Lafarge initiated the Beočin Business Park, a non-profit project designed to attract investors, reduce local unemployment, and stimulate economic development. In 2010, the Beočin plant pioneered the use of alternative fuels in Serbia, aiming to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote sustainable practices.
