OCC Chairman Ma Weiping Visits Jiangxi Yinshantai Cement

On March 26, OCC Chairman Ma Weiping visited Jiangxi Yinshantai Cement Co., Ltd. and was warmly received by General Manager Li Saiming and Vice General Manager Xu Liang. The two sides exchanged views on the development trend of the industry and the direction of future breakthroughs.

Li Saiming welcomed the visit of Ma Weiping and his party. Li Saiming said that although Jiangxi Yinshantai Cement is located in Jiangxi Province, the core market is located in Hunan, which accounts for 60% of the company's total sales. In recent years, whether in Hunan or Jiangxi, the cement market demand has declined seriously, the problem of overcapacity is extremely prominent, the overall situation of the industry is depressed, and the off-peak production time is also increasing. In 2025, the shutdown time of Yinshantai kiln may exceed 160 days.

Li Saiming believes that the cement industry has obvious regional characteristics, and the regional market should "implement policies according to the region" to find common interests of enterprises. In the process of market collaboration, regional joint office is necessary.

Ma Weiping said that domestic cement demand is expected to decline considerably in 2025, and the problem of overcapacity in the cement industry is becoming increasingly serious. The key to maintaining the stable development of the industry is to coordinate the industry and oppose the vicious competition of "involution". OCC is proposed by some cement enterprises, led by China Cement Network, in response to the central "to strengthen industry autonomy, to prevent'involution 'vicious competition." The cement industry organization was established in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province in June 2024. The aim is to prevent involution and adhere to peak-shifting production and capacity reduction on demand. Maintain the prosperity and stability of the Yangtze River cement industry and achieve high-quality development.

Next, OCC will continue to promote industry self-discipline and cooperation, establish and improve industry supervision mechanism, promote industry mergers and acquisitions, and strive to restore industry ecology, restore enterprise confidence, and achieve high-quality development of the industry.
