The Oudomxay Jiangge Cement Plant is ideally located in a valley near the Laos-China Railway in Namor district, Oudomxay province.

Oudomxay Jiangge Cement Plant targets production capacity of 2 million tonnes

The Oudomxay Jiangge Cement Plant in Oudomxay province, a major cement producer and supplier in the north of Laos with a production capacity of 2 million tonnes a year, is set to become a leading environmentally friendly factory.
With investment capital of more than 2 trillion kip, the cement and clinker production uses the world’s most advanced production equipment and processing technology.

The plant is attractively landscaped to create a green environment and reflects the operator’s wish to protect mountains and rivers and create a pure environment.	A huge pipeline for burning and mixing cement components operates around the clock.

In July 2017, Guizhou Jiangge Cement Co., Ltd. made a 100 percent investment in the acquisition of the Oudomxay Jiangge Cement Plant and Luang Prabang Jiangge Cement Plant with the approval of the Chinese government. The firm is also listed as a key project of the Belt and Road Initiative in Guizhou province, China.
The Chairman of Oudomxay Jiangge Cement Sole Company Limited, Mr Lin Peiliang, told visiting media personnel from Vientiane on Wednesday that the plant uses advanced technology and innovations from the mother company, which has experience in building airport runways, hydropower plants, bridges, tunnels, high-speed railways, expressways and other infrastructure projects.
“We are not aiming only for becoming the main cement supplier in the northernmost part of Laos but also to export to China, Thailand and Vietnam in the future. Most importantly, we also look at supplying cement for the proposed Oudomxay-Boten, Boten-Pocho expressway project and other mega projects in the north of Laos,” he said.

Located in Namor district of Oudomxay province, Oudomxay Jiangge Cement Plant uses local resources and components, such as limestone, coal and other minerals, for cement production.

A formal ceremony for cement sales took place at the factory on June 14, led by the Chairman of Oudomxay Jiangge Cement Sole Company Limited, Mr Lin Peiliang, alongside senior company staffers.

“We use raw materials for cement production that can be found within the district of this province, and the resources can be used for a number of decades. This province is rich in raw materials for cement production and can supply adequate materials to the production lines for years,” Mr Lin said.
In recent years, Laos has been heavily dependent on imported cement for several giant construction projects, with zero revenue for the state budget because of the tax exemption. The introduction of cement products from the Oudomxay Jiangge Cement Plant into the market will significantly reduce local construction costs and create a large amount of tax revenue for the country
The company and the plant currently employ more than 180 staffers, with more than 140 positions held by local residents while the rest are foreign experts.
“In the next four to five years, we plan to hire over 90 percent of local employees in Laos and train them to become more professional and responsible for the management of various divisions in the plant,” he added.
The company will continue to increase its investments in Laos to support economic and social development and contribute to the friendship between China and Laos.
On June 14th, Mr Lin also led his employees to hold a formal cement sales ceremony in the factory, during which so many trucks waited in front of the plant to load cement before they headed to various destinations to distribute cement based on the orders from wholesale and retail shops in the northern provinces of Laos.

The plant is a significant landmark for day and night.	Trucks line up to be loaded with cement before they head to various wholesale and retail outlets in the north of Laos.
