Tarmac Cement Limited is a long-established manufacturing company registered in England, originally incorporated in 1900 as Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers Limited. It later traded as Blue Circle Industries, then under various Lafarge names, and as Tarmac Cement and Lime Limited before adopting its current name in 2024. Its registered activities cover the manufacture of cement, bricks, tiles and other baked clay construction products, alongside general manufacturing and the development of building projects. The company remains active, with its registered office in Birmingham. Given its history of name changes within major building materials groups, it appears to function as part of a wider cement and construction materials business rather than a standalone consumer-facing operation.
