The Commemoration Ceremony of Caribbean Cement Co. Ltd.'s Kiln 5 and Mill 5 was held on July 8, at the company's Rockfort, Kingston plant. Prime Minster of Jamaica - the Honourable Bruce Golding and Trinidad & Tobago's Prime Minister - the Honourable Mrs Kamla Persad - Bissessar, as well as several dignitaries of both the Jamaican and T&T Governments were in attendance. The function also included a plant tour of the Kiln 5 and Mill 5 sites.

Kiln 5, the new state - of- the - art Pre Calciner, Dry Process Kiln was commissioned in August 2008, after a two - year construction period and over 2.3 million man hours worked. The introduction of this kiln has significantly increased Carib Cement's clinker manufacturing capacity and with the commissioning of Mill 5 in October 2009, Carib Cement's cement manufacturing capability is now in excess of 1.8million tonnes per annum. This forms part of the TCL Group's medium - term strategic goal of achieving a combined cement production level of 3.5 million tonnes across its three plants (Trinidad Cement, Arawak Cement and Carib Cement).
