The spring thunder calls the new green, and the dragon opens the grand chapter. On March 3, 2025, nearly 100 representatives from building materials and cement associations in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei-Mongolia-Liaoning region and more than 40 enterprises gathered in Tangshan to make suggestions for the cement industry to make up losses and increase efficiency, green and low-carbon transformation and development, and successfully held the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei-Mongolia-Liaoning Cement Industry High Quality Development Conference. The meeting was presided over by Niu Yafei, Secretary-General of Cement Branch of Hebei Building Materials Industry Association.
First of all, Cai Jinshan, Vice President of Cement Branch of Hebei Building Materials Industry Association, delivered a welcome speech. He first welcomed and thanked the leaders for their presence, and pointed out that under the situation of slowing down the demand for cement, colleagues in the industry actively explored the path of "anti-involution", and the benefits of the industry were continuously improved. However, there are still problems such as insufficient rigid and precise peak staggering and large product price difference. He advocated that we should learn from the "Pan-Northeast Experience", strengthen the sense of responsibility, safeguard the interests of the industry, and make every effort to create a healthy ecological environment for the industry with orderly competition and harmonious coexistence. Zhao Hongbo, President of
Liaoning Building Materials Industry Association, Vice President of Shanshui Group and General Manager of Northeast Operating Zone, shared the successful experience of high-quality development of cement industry in the "Pan-Northeast" region in 2024 against the background of the development history of cement industry abroad. In view of how to build a healthy and orderly market order and how to achieve breakthroughs in the northern region of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, he pointed out that, first, the current industry involution caused disorderly competition in the market, which led to the current cement price in China being at a backward international level. He advocated that we should learn from the successful experience of foreign countries and shift the direction of involution to brand building, internal management and enterprise efficiency, so as to form a benign interaction in the development of the industry. The second is to advocate that we firmly establish the sense of community of industry destiny, build a hierarchical and orderly association structure, and formulate an efficient and perfect management system. Thirdly, it calls on regional leading enterprises to play a leading role, practice their responsibilities and gradually build a good ecological environment. Fourthly, through the continuous communication between associations and large enterprises and the government, we can obtain government support and promote the green development and transformation of the industry. Fifth, we should adhere to the normalization of industry self-discipline, formulate reasonable business objectives, and achieve long-term stability and sustainable development of the industry. Wang Zhigang, chairman of Cement Branch of
Hebei Building Materials Industry Association, briefed the spirit of the just-concluded C12 + 4 conference in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan, and put forward suggestions for regional high-quality development in light of the actual situation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The first is to further strengthen the awareness of peak staggering production and improve the accuracy and accuracy of peak staggering production. Second, we should strengthen political responsibility and fulfill social responsibilities to ensure air quality in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. Third, we should determine the development goals of the industry throughout the year, and gradually decompose and implement them in place. Fourth, we should unify our thinking, strengthen confidence, regional linkage, seek common development, and strengthen the sense of community of destiny in the industry. Representatives
of regional associations and enterprises made statements. Everyone said that first, we should resolutely implement the spirit of the conference, earnestly study the experience and practices of advanced regions, and always put the interests of enterprises into the interests of the industry in the first place. Second, resolutely implement the peak-staggering production plan proposed by the association, and jointly build a good ecological order. Thirdly, we should strengthen responsibility, strengthen mutual trust in the industry, clarify development goals and implement action mechanisms to jointly create a new pattern of high-quality regional development. Wei Weidong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of Tangshan Jidong Cement Co., Ltd., was invited to attend the
meeting. He pointed out that first, we should see the situation clearly, implement it accurately, be confident and transmit positive energy, and always focus on the benefits of the industry. The second is to advocate that we learn from the Pan-Northeast region, shift from "passive production restriction" to "active quality improvement", prevent vicious competition of involution, and solve the dilemma of cyclical adjustment of the industry. Thirdly, we call on everyone to take the overall situation into account, seek long-term, be public-minded and honest, continue to strengthen communication and coordination, and build a good business order in the region. The fourth is to declare that Jinyu Jidong Cement in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei-Mongolia-Liaoning region must strengthen its leading responsibility and lead regional colleagues to work together for the high-quality development of the industry.
Finally, Li Huaijiang, executive chairman of Hebei Building Materials Association, made a concluding speech. He first expressed his warm welcome to the industry associations of other provinces and cities, thanked the Hebei Provincial Government for supporting the high-quality development of the cement industry, affirmed the achievements made by the cement industry in Hebei Province in the past year, and hoped to take this conference as an opportunity to continuously promote the coordinated and efficient development of the cement industry in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Inner Mongolia and Liaoning. Secondly, he comprehensively summarized the advanced experience of industry self-discipline in the Pan-Northeast region, which means unity of mind, pragmatism, hard work and applicability. Unity of mind means working with one heart and one mind and having the same goal. Pragmatism means facing problems directly and being down-to-earth. Hard work means never giving up and making continuous efforts. Applicability means basing on reality and adapting to local conditions. Once again, he pointed out the five major achievements of the conference, the first is to boost the confidence and determination of the industry development and enterprise management, the second is to clarify the future goals and directions of the cement industry, the third is to resolve the current problems and difficulties, the fourth is to initially establish the structure and mechanism of regional development, and the fifth is to let the industry colleagues have a more long-term vision and mind. Finally, he stressed that the current off-peak production is still the only way to solve the high-quality development of the industry. We should firmly establish the awareness that profit is the absolute principle, continue to strengthen the industry management concept, and call on everyone to open a new chapter of high-quality development of the cement industry in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Inner Mongolia and Liaoning with the determination and courage of "success does not need to be mine, success will be mine".
