KUCHING: OM Materials (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd (OM Sarawak) expects production volumes of ferrosilicon (FeSi) at its smelting plant in Samalaju Industrial Park, Bintulu to drop further after recording a 16% decline in output in the April-June 2020 quarter (2Q20).
Production volume of FeSi was down to 44,200 tonnes in 2Q20 from 52,308 tonnes in 1Q20.
“The decrease in FeSi production volume was the result of placing an additional FeSi furnace on maintenance during the quarter due to limited manpower at the plant, ” said OM Holdings Ltd (OMH), which owns a 75% stake in OM Sarawak.
