According to Venezuelan Industrial Minister Ricardo Menéndez, the Cemento Andino cement plant in Las Llanadas, Trujillo, is expanding its production capacity. A second line will be installed that will increase the facility's capacity by 1.2 million t to reach 2 million t. A meeting has already been held with Chinese partners who will be involved in the installation of the new production line.

The expansion will enhance the region's economic and industrial development, as well as being in line with the government's aim to guarantee industrial efficiency and productivity in the country.
