DEEP in the rainforests of Borneo beside the Segama River lies the only limestone and marble quarry in Sabah.
Developed in the early 1990s and owned by Sabahans, Makin Teguh Sdn Bhd and its group of companies started to operate and produce limestone and marble under the brand of “Borneo Marble” since 1992.
MTSB, in fact, developed most of the infrastructure leading to the quarries using ancient Roman road building technology. The crushed limestone mixed with aggregates from nearby stone quarries when compacted and mixed with water over time creates a hardened road base. It is the First Integrated Cement Plant in Malaysia which uses renewable fuels such a Heavy Fuel Oil derived from refined recovered oils, palm kernel shells and bio char.
Construction of the plant was carefully planned so as to avoid disruption to the natural terrain of the site and at the same time, developing the infrastructure such as roads and electricity supply at its own cost for the mutual benefit of all the local villages and nearby plantations.
