Cahya Mata Sarawak has informed its customers that its cement despatches will be ‘back to normal’ by 6 November 2022. The producer’s closure of its 1Mt/ yr Kuching cement plant for maintenance, followed by unexpected raw materials supply issues, has caused a shortage of cement in western Sarawak State. It has been reported that a 14-day delay to raw materials deliveries to the Kuching plant ensued due to heavy rains. Cahya Mata Sarawak has successfully maintained regular supply of cement to other areas of Sarawak.
