The factory was inaugurated at the cement manufacturing facility of Lanwa Sanstha Cement Corporation (Pvt) Ltd., located at the Magampura Lanka Industrial Zone.
The President and the Prime Minister unveiled the plaque at the opening of the new cement factory and inspected the factory premises.

The factory has an annual production capacity of 04 million metric tons and will supply 2.8 million metric tons to the local market under the first phase.
Conveyor belts are used to transport the raw materials between the port and the factory with the aim of ensuring high efficiency and reducing waste and pollution.
