Makassar, S Sulawesi (ANTARA Sulsel) - Cement producer PT Semen Tonasa expects its sales this year to reach up to 6.7 million tons following the operation of its fifth plant.
"Our sales target this year is set at around 6.7 million tons, up around 7.1 percent from last year`s," president director Andi Unggul Attas said here on Sunday.
He said additional production of 2.5 million tons from the fifth plant would increase the company`s previous production which was recorded at five million tons.
He said the company meanwhile expects its domestic market share to reach 9.3 percent and in east Indonesian regions 40.03 percent.
"The production capacity is actually less than that but we keep striving to make the target to be achieved this year and we are optimistic we can meet it," he said.
Attas said production from the company`s four plants was less than six million tons a year or 5.98 million tons to be exact.
He said the second and third plants produced 590 million tons each a year while the fourth plant produced 2.3 million tons and the fifth plant 2.5 million tons.
"The first plant has stopped production since 1984 because of its outdated technology. It would only cause losses if it continues production. It used to produce 120,000 tons a year," he said.
Until August this year, Attas said, the production of PT Semen Tonasa which is the subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia Tbk. (SMGR) had reached 4.2 million tons.
He said the value of the revenue from this year`s target was expected to reach Rp65.2 trillion.
Attas expressed optimism that next year`s production could even reach seven million tons. In view of that, he said he would exploit the capacity of the fourth plant maximally.
The production of the fourth plant will be increased to 2.5 million tons a year while that of the fifth plant to three million tons a year.
