The new kiln line 9 project will be located at PPC's Slurry cement plant near Lichtenburg, South Africa's North West Province, about 250km from Johannesburg.

Tong Laigou, Chairman of the Board of CBMI and Darryl Castle, CEO of PPC, signed the contract in the presence of senior staff from both companies. The scope of the contract covers the additive stockpile to clinker transport into the clinker silo, including engineering, procurement, civil works, installation and commissioning. The project is expected to take 25 months, with PAC at 28 months.
