Semen Cibinong to up sales 10%

JAKARTA: Cement producer PT Semen Cibinong has said in a statement on Monday that it has targeted a 10 percent increase in cement and clinker sales volume this year, from 6 million tons last year.

The statement said that last year's cement and clinker sales volume was only 61.8 percent of the company's total production capacity of 9.7 tons per annum.

It added that its present installed capacity at its four plants in Narogong, West Java, was 5.6 million tons and at its two plants in Cilacap, Central Java, it was 4.1 million tons.

Elsewhere the company said that its production and distribution had been smooth, despite the recent widespread flooding that had inundated Java. --JP
