Eagle Cement breaks ground on Cebu Line 4

Eagle Cement Corp has broken ground on the fourth production line at its Cebu plant. The Cebu Line 4 is set for completion in 2020 and will include a 2Mta integrated cement plant, port facilities and cement terminals to serve the islands of Visayas and Mindanao.

Currently, the company has two lines producing about 5.1Mta of cement and serves the greater Luzon markets. Eagle is also aiming to complete its third production line (2Mta) in Bulacan by 2018, which will raise capacity to 7.1Mta. This will expand the company's coverage to more markets in southern Luzon.
