KUCHING: Ferrosilicon and manganese alloys maker Pertama Ferroalloys Sdn Bhd expects to run its smelting plant in Samalaju Industrial Park, Bintulu at full capacity in October.
Executive chairman Hirotaka Suzuki said the plant was unable to meet its full production capacity this month as it had planned earlier due to technical hitches.
