The Vissai Cement Group: Selling bagged cement at Nghi Thiet Grinding Station

(Baonghean) - After the testing and quality inspection process, Song Lam Cement Joint Stock Company, a member of The Vissai Cement Group, officially started selling bagged cement at Nghi Thiet Cement Grinding Station in Nghi Loc district, Nghe An province.

Thus, after 21 months of "lightning-fast" construction, Song Lam Cement Joint Stock Company completed the production line from Clinker to common finished cement P40. Previously, in November 2016, after 15 months of construction, the Company put the Song Lam Cement Factory into operation in Bai Son Commune (Do Luong). This factory has 2 technological lines from the Federal Republic of Germany, producing 12,000 tons of Clinker per day meeting international standards. Immediately after that, the company's Clinker was exported to many countries according to orders.

Along with maintaining Clinker production, Song Lam Cement Joint Stock Company accelerated the completion of the installation of the first line at Nghi Thiet Cement Grinding Station. By mid-May 2017, the first line of Nghi Thiet Cement Grinding Station had been put into trial production of bulk cement.

After a 1-month quality inspection process, on June 12, 2017, the first batches of bagged cement in Nghi Thiet were supplied to agents for widespread distribution. At the Nghi Thiet Cement Grinding Station, there are 4 clusters of cement bagging machines and 8 conveyors that can simultaneously export cement when many cars come to pick up the goods.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Tai - Executive Director of Nghi Thiet Cement Grinding Station and Seaport project said: "The early export of bagged cement at Nghi Thiet Cement Grinding Station demonstrates the determination of The Vissai Cement Group in mobilizing resources and urging contractors to speed up construction progress.

In order for the production line to operate stably from the beginning, 6 months before, The Vissai Cement Group and Song Lam Cement Joint Stock Company recruited workers, organized training, and mastered the production line. Currently, every day, over 1,500 tons of bagged cement are sold to agents. Along with that, thousands of tons of bulk cement are provided to customers, serving the construction of projects.

At the Nghi Thiet Cement Grinding Station construction site, contractors continue to speed up the construction of the second cement grinding line, while completing the 3,000m long cement and clinker conveyor system, ready to supply 70,000-ton ships for loading and unloading when Nghi Thiet wharf is completed in early July 2017.

To date, The Vissai Cement Group has invested over VND10,000 billion out of a total investment capital of nearly VND13,000 billion to build and put into use the projects. The Group is actively urging contractors to complete Nghi Thiet wharf to serve the transportation of cement to regions across the country and export to other countries; at the same time, speeding up the construction of a comprehensive seaport, creating a cluster of linked projects, promoting positive effects in the production and consumption of Clinker and cement.

Through the discussion, Mr. Dinh Quoc Quyen - General Director of Song Lam Cement Joint Stock Company said: "We always determine that early commissioning of projects is a factor to accelerate the recovery of investment capital. Therefore, the leaders of The Vissai Cement Group are always present at the site to urge the progress. On the Company's side, we strengthen the inspection and supervision of all stages closely, ensuring progress, but importantly, ensuring the best quality in the installation of the line for long-term operation.

During that process, we also received active support from provincial departments, agencies, authorities and people of Do Luong and Nghi Loc districts. That also requires us to ensure harmony between development and social security work, meet the province's expectations in industrial development, create jobs for local workers and contribute to the budget...".
