Indonesian cement producer, Semen Tonasa, a Semen Gresik subsidiary, is to construct cement packing plants in all provinces in eastern Indonesia.
The company said it would need to spend up to IDR100bn (US$11m) on the project to be carried out in phases, according to reports in the Jakarta Post.
Tonasa’s president, Sattar Taba, said the company will build at least two packing plants a year until each province in the eastern region has a packing plant. This year, it will start with the construction of such facilities in Papua and Balikpapan of East Kalimantan, he said.
