$210 million to build a factory! Is "going out" a good medicine for cement enterprises?

Western International Holding Group and Labenmon Investment Co., Ltd. signed a $1 billion cement plant construction agreement in Zimbabwe. Western International Group will build a new dry clinker cement production line with an annual output of 2 million tons. It is equipped with 100 MW generating units and a cement grinding station with an annual output of 900,000 tons. After the acquisition, the overseas clinker production capacity of Huaxin Cement reached 12.5 million tons and the cement production capacity reached 21.87 million tons.

A large number of cement clinker production lines have been built in Guangxi, but the production capacity is excessive, so it is an inevitable trend for Guangxi to increase the export of cement. Railway transportation has the advantages of large volume and all-weather, which can meet the transportation demand of conch cement in large quantities. The "conquest" of Conch Cement in the Guangdong market may be intensified, which will have an impact on the Pearl River Delta and even the whole Guangdong market. Take a step back

4.! The road of small and medium-sized cement enterprises is not only dry

, but also the cement industry is facing a low ebb, and small and medium-sized cement enterprises are facing tremendous pressure. Policies on environmental protection, energy consumption and cost are more stringent, and enterprises need to transform and upgrade. For the transformation that can not achieve the normal return on investment, enterprises can consider transformation and find new growth points. A "false start" on the new track may break a new world.
