KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 — Cahya Mata Sarawak Bhd’s wholly-owned subsidiary Cahya Mata Cement Sdn Bhd is set to proceed with the proposed construction of a new clinker line with a daily production of 6,000 metric tonnes (MT) per day or 1.9 million MT per year, in Mambong, Kuching, Sarawak.

The plant, which is expected to take 36 months to complete, is estimated to cost approximately RM750 million, Cahya Mata Sarawak said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.

“The project will meet Sarawak’s growing domestic cement demand and increase production efficiency which leads to a reduction in carbon footprint and ensure continuous sustainability,” it said. — Bernama
