KUCHING: CMS Cement Industries Sdn Bhd had apologised to its customers for the shortage of cement supply due to the maintenance shutdown of its Mambong plant and was further hampered by unexpected delay of raw materials delivery.
The company however said the supply of cement would be back to normal by the end of next week.
“During the annual maintenance, a delay occurred due to a complication at the Mambong plant.
“Furthermore, the production was further delayed in the Pending plant by 14 days due to heavy rain which affected the delivery of raw materials,” it said in a statement today.
Meanwhile, the cement supply to the rest of Sarawak remains unaffected, as demand in these areas, such as Sibu, Bintulu and Miri, is met by production at the company’s grinding plant in Bintulu.
“We will strive to ensure a steady supply of cement to all our customers,” the company said.
