TPI Polene plans US$341 m capacity expansion

摘要

TPI Polene, Thailand's third-largest cement maker, plans to spend US$341 m from 2013 to 2016 to develop a new production line at its Saraburi cement plant and to expand into renewable energy. The project has been postponed since the financial crisis in 1997, said chief executive Prachai Leophairatana to the Bangkok Post. The fourth line will be developed at TPI Po-lene's existing plant in Saraburi province for US$194m. Production capacity will be raised by 33% to 12Mt/yr by 2026, making it the largest cement plant under one roof in the world.
