Innovation in manufacturing processes and new products
Maintaining the same pace as the construction industry in Bolivia demands significant investments to increase production by expanding the company ’ s facilities . The Viacha cement plant , located in the La Paz Department , is already into its 12th expansion process , which belongs to a larger scheme known as the Illimani Project . This time , a vertical grinding mill from FLSmidth will be deployed ; this Danish company has been a supplier to SOBOCE since the 1970s . The vertical grinding mill will be the first in its class to be installed at Bolivia , and it will become the highest cement-grinding vertical mill above sea level .
