News Holcim Philippines prepares for demand in Luzon

Holcim Philippines prepares for demand in Luzon

Philippines: Holcim Philippines is preparing a US$9.46m upgrade of its formerly closed Batangas mill to meet an anticipated rise in demand in Southern Luzon.

Upon its reopening in 2013, the grinding plant in Mabini, Batangas with an existing capacity of 7.7Mt/yr will have an additional 500,000t capacity. The mill had been decommissioned in 2003 amid weak cement demand.

"South Luzon is one of the fastest-growing areas in the country and we expect this growth to continue, fuelled by both public and private construction. We want to be sure we have the facilities ready to deliver volumes when and where these are needed," said Roland van Wijnen, Holcim chief operating officer said in the statement.

Holcim's Mabini plant will be its second facility in Batangas after the company's Calaca terminal, which the company reopened in 2011 in a bid to serve the southern Luzon market and facilitate cement transfers from Mindanao to Luzon, where demand is highest.

"Having facilities across the country from north Luzon to Mindanao gives Holcim the strong advantage of being near its markets. Our Mabini facility will help further strengthen the capability and accessibility in bringing our products to where our customers are," van Wijnen said.
