The company was established in 1914, operating a cement factory at Station Road (now Station Avenue), Darra in Brisbane. In 1988, the company was renamed Queensland Cement Limited following some company mergers. In 1995, the company was unable to renew its dredging licences for Moreton Bay, leading to the closure of the Darra factory in 1998 after its stockpile was completely exhausted.
