Green Island Cement
Green Island Cement is Hong Kong's only major cement producer. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings. History 
The company was founded in Ilha Verde (meaning "green island") in Macau in 1886 with British investment and was the first manufacturer of Portland cement in the region, with  lime kilns that burned locally dredged coral and imported limestone. A second factory was established in Hung Hom in 1898, as Britain took control of the New Territories, under the Second Convention of Peking. The availability of inexpensive cement was a boon to the development of the area that followed, and further provided a useful export capacity, such as of encaustic glazed floor tiles. The firm relocated to Hok Un, Hong Kong in 1925 and became a British company shortly afterward. The company was a major employer for many decades. References
