Russia’s Sibirsky Cement has seen a minor fall in cement production from its three plants in the 9M18, slipping to 2.507Mt from 2.516Mt in the year-ago period.

The company’s Topkinsky facility recorded a flat YoY result of around 1.7Mt, while Krasnoyarsky increased its production by three per cent to 268,100t. However, Timlyuysk noted an eight per cent drop to 268,100t. The decline is due to a reduction in cement consumption in the Buryat Republic, eastern Siberia, which decreased 12.6 per cent in the nine months, according to Beton.
