LAHAD DATU: What should have been a priority for Sabah decades ago – the State’s own manufacturing facility to supply reliable cement at reasonable price for the numerous construction projects statewide – finally became a reality, here, on Monday.
Borneo Oil Berhad (BornOil) hosted a “Kiln Firing Up Ceremony” to mark the commissioning of Sabah’s First Integrated Clinker and Cement Manufacturing Plant (ILPP).
BornOil Executive Director Datuk Joseph Ambrose Lee said it was largely possible due to BornOil’s recent acquisition of 30 per cent equity in Makin Teguh Sdn Bhd (MTSB) which owns the ILPP. ILPP is in the business of manufacturing and trading of clinker, cement and related products.
