Vissai Group subsidiary, Song Lam 2 JSC, has sent its first batch of exports to Malaysia from its new production line at Song Lam cement plant. The second clinker production line at the plant began operation in May 2016 following a less than two-year construction period.

The project to expand the plant will be completed in phases, with the first phase seeing the completion of two production lines with a total capacity of 12,000tpd (4Mta). A third line will be introduced in the second phase, expected to be completed in 2017-20, and will take production capacity up to 18,000tpd.

The new line was completed in collaboration with Loesche, IKN and ABB.
