-- Siam Cement Group (BKK:SCC) will temporarily suspend operations at its Long Son Petrochemicals plant in Vietnam from around mid-May due to prolonged supply disruptions linked to Middle East tensions.
The shutdown is expected to incur fixed cash costs of about 250 million baht per month, according to a Wednesday Thailand Exchange filing.
The company said difficulties in sourcing feedstock, despite efforts to secure alternative supplies outside the Strait of Hormuz, have raised costs and affected supply continuity.
SCG said the plant will undergo maintenance during the suspension, while preparations continue for its ethane feedstock project to support long-term competitiveness.
Other operations, including its Rayong Olefins plant in Thailand and broader businesses, continue with adjustments, the company added.
