Cahya Mata's growth outlook cemented with RM673 mln Clinker Line 2 project
Representatives from Cahya Mata Cement and Sinoma Industry Engineering during the signing of the memorandum to kickstart the new clinker production line at Mambong Integrated Plant in Kuching. KUCHING (July 23): Cahya Mata Sarawak Bhd's (Cahya Mata) long-term growth outlook will be cemented with its upcoming RM673 million Clinker line 2 project which is expected to create 500 jobs at peak construction and generate spillover benefits for local businesses. The project was officially greenlit on July 21 when it was announced that Cahya Mata had officially awarded a RM673 million engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) contract to Sinoma Industry Engineering (M) Sdn Bhd (Sinoma) for the construction of the Clinker line 2 at its Mambong Integrated Plant in Kuching. Sinoma's parent company is China-based Tianjin Cement Industry Design and Research Institute who was the EPCC contractor of Cahya Mata's existing Clinker Line 1. The project is slated to commence construction in August and fully commissioned by June, 2027. According to the research arm of MBSB Investment Bank Bhd (MBSB Research), the addition of Cahya Mata's Clinker line 2 which has a capacity of 1.9 million tonnes per annum will more than double their existing clinker capacity of 900,000 tonnes per annum. This boost in production is expected to help Cahya Mata to eliminate their clinker imports which current make up circa 50 per cent of their requirements. MBSB Research guides that this will not only drive structural cost savings but improve ESG performance over the medium-term. 'The facility will feature state-of-the-art technologies to improve environmental performance and energy efficiency, including a waste heat recovery system capable of generating up to 6MW of power and an advanced dust filtration system designed to reduce dust emissions to more than half of the current regulatory limit. 'The Clinker Line 2 will also employ high-efficiency equipment to reduce energy use and carbon dioxide emissions, while incorporating locally sourced alternative raw materials and fuels to further limit reliance on fossil fuels,' they shared. At peak construction, the mega project is also expected to create up to 500 jobs and generate spillover benefits for local businesses, particularly those in the Padawan and Kuching areas. The development of Cahya Mata's Clinker Line 2 is also timely given Sarawak's accelerating cement requirements stemming from upcoming mega-project such as the Sarawak-Sabah Link Road Phase 2, Trans Borneo Highway, and petrochemical-related developments in Bintulu and Samalaju. 'In this context, the strategic timing of Clinker Line 2 affirms its commitment to future-proofing its capacity while supporting the state's industrialisation drive,' the research arm opined.
