Full description
1. Principal activities The Company is principally engaged in the production and sales of a vast variety of Portland cement and premixed concrete. As a highly competitive regional cement leader in the eastern Guangdong market, the Company boasts three cement production bases in Meizhou City and Huizhou City of Guangdong Province and Longyan City of Fujian Province, with an annual production capacity of 20 million tons. 2. Primary products (1) Portland cement clinker, referred to as "clinker", is made of limestone material, clay material and a small amount of corrective material grinded into fine powder according to a certain ratio, and calcined at a certain temperature to form products with calcium silicate as the main mineral composition. Clinker is the half-finished product in the production process of general purpose Portland cement. (2) General Portland cement, a hydraulic cementing material made by grinding Portland cement clinker and appropriate amount of gypsum and specified mixture material. The Company's main business is general Portland cement including four brands of "TA PAI, YUE TA, JIA YING, HENG TA" with grade of 32.5, 32.5R, 42.5, 42.5R, 52.5, 52.5R. General Portland cement is widely used in highways, hydropower projects, railways, ports, airports and other infrastructure construction and real estate and other construction projects. (3) The premixed concrete, which is also called "commercial concrete", mainly refers to the concrete mixture of general Portland cement, aggregate, water and admixtures according to need and mineral admixtures, which are sold after measuring and mixing according to certain proportion and delivered to place of use within specified time. Premixed concrete is widely used in various civil engineering construction. 3. Business model With deep expertise in the cement sector and sharp market insight, the Company adapts swiftly to industry shifts. It has developed a specialized management model tailored to its growth, focusing on people, finance, materials, production, supply, and sales. Meanwhile, the functional departments of the Company serve as the center to take charge of daily system command and relationship coordination, and subsidiaries (branch companies) work together to carry out production, operation and sales. 4. Market position The Company is one of the 60 large cement enterprises supported by the national cement industry structural adjustment, and belongs to the enterprises supported by the national industrial policies. The Company has a clinker production capacity of 14.73 million tons, ranking 16th nationwide in clinker production capacity in 2024 (data source: China Cement Association). Its cement production capacity reaches 20 million tons, solidifying its position as a highly competitive regional cement provider in eastern Guangdong. The Company came 8th in the 2025 Comprehensive Strength Ranking of China's Listed Cement Companies issued by the China Cement Association. 5. Primary growth drivers The profit of cement enterprises is mainly affected by cement production and sales, sales price and cement production cost. The cement sales area of the Company focuses on the three production bases through road transportation radiation to eastern Guangdong, the Pearl River Delta region, western Fujian, southern Jiangxi, and other regions. The Company's operating results have a close correlation with macroeconomic development, the scale of investment in fixed assets, and the policies related to the cement industry such as carbon emissions, off-peak production and environmental regulation. In recent years, despite maintaining a dominant market share in eastern Guangdong with stable prices, and benefiting from stable and sustainable demand in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area ("GBA") through its Longmen base, the Company still faces considerable operational challenges due to the persistent downturn in Guangdong's overall cement demand.
