Philippines: Eagle Cement to break ground on Davao plant

Eagle Cement has said that it will begin construction work on its new 2Mta cement plant in Davao in the south of the country on 20 October, according to reports in the Business Inquirer.

Eagle Cement’s owner, Ramon Ang, first announced plans to expand Eagle’s capacity in June 2015, proposing to build two new plants in Davao and Cebu, as well as expanding the company’s existing facility in Bulacan.

Mr Ang said that he expected the facility to begin commercial operations by March 2019.
