Cahya Mata gives China firm RM673mil deal
PETALING JAYA: Cahya Mata Sarawak Bhd has awarded a RM673mil contract to a China firm to build a new clinker line in Mambong, Kuching. The 6,000-tonnes-per-day clinker line will be built for its subsidiary, Cahya Mata Cement Sdn Bhd, as it looks to meet the growing cement demand in Sarawak. Upon completion, Cahya Mata Cement's annual clinker capacity will more than double from 900,000 tonnes to 1.9 million tonnes. This would improve cost efficiency and eliminate the need for future clinker imports. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, it was announced that Cahya Mata Cement has signed a contract with Sinoma Industry Engineering (M) Sdn Bhd to undertake the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning for a new clinker line.
