拉法基计划在印尼新建水泥厂
拉法基现有的一个苏门答腊地区的水泥厂几乎被去年12月26号的海浪冲走,有250多名员工仍失踪。据拉法基副总裁Stephanie Tessier说:“这家被毁的水泥厂将尽可能快的恢复生产,但是可能是阶段性的恢复,这最少需要几个月的时间,因为这家工厂受到了严重的破坏”。
新建水泥厂的计划还没有最后确定,新厂的产能将会是海啸前拉法基一百万吨产能的两倍。早在20世纪90年代,拉法基就提出在苏门答腊北部棉兰市新建水泥厂的计划,但这个计划由于1998年的东南亚经济危机而被搁置。几个月前,拉法基开始重提这个计划。目前并没有建新厂的具体的时间安排。
拉法基2004年在印尼的销售额约6280万美金。

French cement giant fast-tracking planned plant for reconstruction in Indonesia
PARIS (AP) - Lafarge SA, the world's largest cement producer, said Monday that plans for a new plant on Indonesia's tsunami-stricken island of Sumatra have been fast-tracked because of the expected boost in cement demand from reconstruction efforts.
Lafarge's one existing plant was nearly washed away by the wall of water on Dec. 26 and more than 250 employees were still missing.
"It will be restarted as soon as possible, but probably in phases," said Stephanie Tessier, Lafarge vice-president for communications. "It will be at least some months because the plant was severely damaged."
The new plant, on which a final decision has yet to be made, would double the approximately one million tonnes in annual cement production capacity that Lafarge had in Indonesia before the tidal waves hit.
Plans for the new plant, near the city of Medan in northern Sumatra, had been drawn up in the late 1990s but were shelved following the southeast Asian financial crisis in 1998.
Lafarge began dusting off those plans several months ago, but now the tsunami has speeded things up, Tessier said.
There is no timetable for construction of the new plant, she said.
Lafarge employed 625 people at its plant in Lho-Nga before the tsunami hit. Of those, 362 have been found alive and well, eight are injured and three have been confirmed dead. It is without news of 252 employees.
Lafarge's cement sales in Indonesia totalled 48 million euros ($62.8 million US) in 2004.
