Insee Cement operating at 3.6 million ton maximum production and import capacity – has added two more shipping vessels to its import logistics operation, addressing the on-going product shortage in the local market.
“Insee Cement continues to operate at maximum production capacity to ensure the Sri Lankan construction industry remains on its path to a successful recovery,” Chief Executive Officer at Insee Cement, Gustavo Navarro said.
“What the domestic market is experiencing is an artificial scarcity that was first created by importers refusing to release their stocks to the market. Unfortunately now, they are struggling to revive the interrupted supply chain due to cement exporters struggling to meet the demand in their own countries,” he said.
Therefore today, even with the Government lifting controlled pricing, we have a shortage of cement imports to Sri Lanka. Insee is once again stepping up to meet this challenge by introducing two more additional import vessels to our logistics operation.”
