Cahya Mata Cement selects EPCC contractor for new clinker line in Malaysia
Cahya Mata Cement has selected Sinoma Industry Engineering as the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) contractor for a new clinker line at its Mambong Integrated Plant in Kuching, Malaysia. The RM673m ($159m) project aims to construct a 6,000-tonne (t)-per-day clinker line, which is expected to be completed in 21 months. The new line will increase the annual clinker capacity of Cahya Mata Cement, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cahya Mata Sarawak, from 900,000t to 1.9 million tonnes. The facility will incorporate advanced technologies to enhance environmental performance and energy efficiency. It will include a waste heat recovery system capable of generating up to 6MW of power and a dust filtration system designed to cut dust emissions to less than half of the current regulatory limit. Additionally, Clinker Line 2 will use high-efficiency equipment to decrease energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions while also utilising locally sourced alternative raw materials and fuels to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. During peak construction, the project is set to create up to 500 jobs, offering economic benefits to local businesses, particularly in the Padawan and Kuching regions. Cahya Mata group managing director Dato Sri Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Taib said: 'The Mambong Clinker Line 2 is a key step in strengthening Sarawak's cement supply chain, boosting capacity, reducing import reliance, and ensuring we can meet future demand reliably. 'Beyond production, it reflects Cahya Mata's commitment to building a modern facility that positions us as possibly the greenest cement producer in the region.' Cahya Mata Cement has reportedly been a key player in Sarawak's construction sector since 1974. The company operates three cement grinding plants in Kuching and Bintulu, along with distribution terminals in Sibu and Miri, supporting a comprehensive supply chain to meet the state's evolving construction needs.
