KUALA LUMPUR: Cahya Mata Sarawak Bhd's subsidiary CMS Cement Industries Sdn Bhd has issued a notice of apology to its customers for the shortage of cement supply.
CMS Cement said the supply of the raw material was expected to be back to normal by the end of next week.
"The shortage was due to the maintenance shutdown of the company's Mambong plant and was further hampered by an unexpected delay of raw materials delivery.
"During the annual maintenance, a delay had occurred due to a complication at the Mambong plant.
"Furthermore, the production was further delayed in the Pending plant by 14 days due to heavy rain which affected the delivery of raw materials," it said.
Meanwhile, CMS Cement said cement supply to the rest of Sarawak remained unaffected, as demand in these areas such as Sibu, Bintulu and Miri, was met by production at the company's grinding plant in Bintulu.
"We will strive to ensure a steady supply of cement to all our customers," it added.
