The Group engages in manufacturing,
distribution and marketing of cement products in Vietnam
through its 100% owned subsidiary, Luks Cement
(Vietnam) Limited. Our existing cement plant is
located in Hue, an ancient city in the central part of
Vietnam. The cement plant has been running in full capacity of
around 800,000 tonnes per annum since 2005. Starting from
January 2007, the total annual capacity of the cement plant
will be increased to 1.5 million tonnes, with a new production
line joining into operation.
Our cement plant produces all grades of
cement from PCB30, PC40 and high density cement for jetty or
tunnel. Most of the products are sold in the domestic market,
with a few quantity of clinkers supplied to the Laos' market.
We distribute our cement to construction sites directly, as
well as through local dealers to the retail market. Major
projects using our cement including the Hai Van Pass Tunnel,
Dung Quat Oil Refineries Plant and numerous highways and
hydro-electric power stations in Vietnam. The brand name of
the Group's cement products, namely "KIM
DINH" has been widely
recognized in the local market, especially around the regions
of the central Vietnam.
Currently, the Group's cement plant is the
only cement plant having been awarded the certificates of ISO
9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 18001 in Vietnam, demonstrating that
our cement plant has already established a well-recognized
management system.
Foreseeing a persistent strong market demand
for cement in Vietnam and together with the abundant reserve
of our limestone mine (1km from the cement plant) which can
support production of 3 million tonnes cement at least for 50
years, the Group has been undergoing its further expansion of
annual capacity to 2.8 million tonnes by increasing a new
production line of 1.3 million tonnes per annum. The new line
will be divided into two parts. The part for clinkers'
production will be built beside the Group's existing cement
plant, whereas the clinkers' grinding station will be built on
an industrial land along the Saigon River in the outskirt of
Ho Chi Minh City, which can largely reduce the transportation
cost of cement to the southern part of Vietnam. Investment
license for the new line has been granted by the Vietnamese
Central government in December 2006. The new line is expected
to commence operation in the 2nd quarter of 2008.
