Vietnam: Siam City Cement (SCCC) plans to expand its Hon Chong cement plant in Vietnam’s southern province of An Giang. SCCC CEO Ranjan Sachdeva outlined the plan during a meeting with standing deputy prime minister Pham Gia Tuc. SCCC operates in Vietnam through its subsidiary INSEE Vietnam. Sachdeva said that the group intends to expand its production with second and third production lines at the Hon Chong plant in the future. The new lines would ‘use modern technology, comply with Vietnamese regulations and focus on sustainable production,’ he noted. SCCC also plans to increase the use of alternative raw materials in cement production and reduce its clinker ratio.
