Holcim Philippines capacity to reach 10Mta by 2Q-end

Holcim Philippines Chief Operating Officer, Sapna Sood, said in an interview with The Standard (Philippines) debottlenecking of existing cement facilities would add 2Mta of capacity.

“We certainly had a project where we were looking at all of that safety, debottlenecking. That is near completion. To be completed at the end of this quarter. We will be at 10Mt,” Ms Sood said.

Holcim Philippines operates four cement plants in La Union, Bulacan, Misamis Oriental and Davao.
