The management of Tokyo Cement Company (Lanka) PLC recently laid the foundation for a factory expansion project in Trincomalee, to increase its manufacturing capacity by a further one million MT.
The project, scheduled to be completed by early 2023, will bring Tokyo Cement Group’s total installed capacity to four million MT, firmly establishing the company’s position as the largest manufacturer of cement in the country.
The new expansion project at Tokyo Cement Factory in Trincomalee reflects the company’s readiness to cater to the future growth in demand of the local construction industry. With the 18-month expansion plan, Tokyo Cement will increase the production of Tokyo Super, Nippon Cement and Nippon Cement Pro, market leading brands of Ordinary Portland and Blended Hydraulic Cements, using state-of-the-art technology.
This will significantly enhance local value creation, with the addition of more direct and indirect employment opportunities, compounded by thousands of ancillary product and service suppliers supported through local cement manufacturing, setting off a ripple effect of economic benefits for the country.
The move will firmly establish Tokyo Cement Company’s position as the leading partner in nation building.
Tokyo Cement Group Chairman Dr. Harsha Cabral PC, Managing Director S.R. Gnanam, Board of Directors Member Ravi Dias and Executive Director Christopher Fernando were joined by Raddella Holdings/Hanco Constructions (Private) Limited Chairman Nihal Raddella for the foundation laying event.
With Rev. Father Kendall Atkinson dedicating the project initiation, Tokyo Eastern Cement Company Director/Tokyo Cement Factory General Manager V.M. Ravinthirakumar, Tokyo Eastern Cement Co. Director/Power and Energy General Manager E. Kugapriya and Group Marketing Manager Dashantha Udawatta were among the distinguished guests at the ceremony, attended by a limited number of management and staff.
