Vietnamese cement producer Xuan Thanh Cement awarded Germany-based grinding specialist Loesche the contract to supply the advanced grinding system for its Line 2 expansion project. The company opted for a vertical roller mill, which it expected to deliver a higher output at a lower power consumption than the roller press/ball mill combination of Line 1. By Konrad Scharping, Loesche GmbH, Germany.

Established in 1976, the Xuan Thanh Group is one of the key private-sector companies in Vietnam with more than 30,000 employees and various types of business activities. To increase its investment value by becoming a leader in manufacturing and exporting cement, the group founded the Xuan Thanh Cement Joint Stock Co in 2011, marking the beginning of its mission to become one of Vietnam’s foremost cement producers.
