John Gomersall, CEO of PPC commented; "We are very pleased to reach this point after effectively only 7 months of operation and we are now even more confident that this kiln line will comfortably exceed warranted output levels. This bears testimony to PPC`s historical philosophy of buying excellent equipment and not necessarily the cheapest. It is what has and will continue to make PPC a sustainable company" Gomersall would not be drawn on by how much the kiln line would exceed the warranted capacity of 1.25 million tons of cement per annum but did add; "This reinforces our recent statement on expected savings generated by this investment." PPC noted in their 2009 interim results that the project will be within budget and that the performance of the new more efficient Dwaalboom kiln 2 had allowed its plans to shut down three older kilns to be realised.
