Vietnam’s first mega plant and 12,500tpd kiln line was commissioned by Xuan Thanh Cement JSC at Ha Nam on 9 October 2017. The line is a bold statement and an apt symbol of the tremendous development achieved by Vietnam, one of Asia’s most dynamic emerging markets, over the course three decades of almost uninterrupted economic growth. ICR reports on the new production line and the Xuan Thanh’s ambitions to construct a further three 12,500tpd lines by 2020.
Nestled in the magnificent mountainous landscape of Ha Nam province on a tributary to the Red River Delta, some 75km south of Hanoi, lies Xuan Thanh cement plant, home of the Vietnam’s newest and largest cement production line.
