Concreat opens new cement line in Rizal 

Concreat Holdings Philippines, a majority-owned subsidiary of DMCI Holdings, announced the full operations of the new production line at its Solid Cement Plant in Antipolo City, according to a report by Philippine News Agency.

In a statement on Friday, Concreat Holdings said the new production line became fully operational last month.

The facility upgrade increases Solid Cement Plant’s annual capacity from 1.9 million tons to 3.4 million tons.

This will allow Concreat to provide a steady supply of cement essential for building homes, roads, bridges, and other key infrastructure that fuel national progress.

“This expansion is a pivotal step in Concreat’s turnaround. With higher capacity, a more efficient kiln, and the use of Semirara coal, we are rebuilding momentum and lowering production costs —laying the groundwork for long-term recovery,” Concreat Holdings Philippines president and chief executive officer Herbert Consunji said.

The project is expected to create both direct and indirect employment in surrounding communities and support long-term local resilience through skills training, employee development, and livelihood programs, the company said.

Concreat’s expansion received fiscal incentives and an income tax holiday from the Board of Investments.
