As a manufacturer and investor of non-metallic materials, China's building materials actively respond to the initiative of "the Belt and Road", promote the strategic landing of "overseas reengineering", lay out overseas markets from a global perspective, speed up "going out", "going in" and "going up", and promote the grand blueprint of global infrastructure construction and sustainable development. The internationalization strategy has achieved fruitful results.
In recent years, Sinoma Cement has actively responded to the initiative of "the Belt and Road" and the call of "going out" of central enterprises, and implemented the internationalization development strategy of China Building Materials Group. It has invested in the construction of a comprehensive green building materials industrial park in Zambia-China Building Materials Zambia Industrial Park (hereinafter referred to as the "Industrial Park"). Since it was put into operation in July 2018, the industrial park has taken root in the African market, covering Zambia, Zimbabwe, Congo (Kinshasa) and other neighboring countries, becoming an important fulcrum for the implementation of the Group's internationalization strategy, and a beautiful business card created by the Group's basic building materials business sector in the African region. With lean
operation and fine management, the benefits of the park are increasing
year by year. The industrial park takes "three fine management" as the starting point, adheres to the localization of deep cultivation, promotes the upgrading of localized operation and management, and through optimizing the allocation of resources, deepening territorial cooperation and strengthening cost control, the production and sales volume and business performance have reached a record high for two consecutive years. In 2024, the purchase prices of coal, gypsum and packaging bags decreased by 17.3%, 10.7% and 16.1% respectively. Cooperating with local suppliers to build its own logistics fleet, the efficiency of cement distribution has been significantly improved, and the transportation cost has been reduced by 4% year on year. Actively expand the surrounding market, focusing on Zimbabwe, Malawi and other key regions since 2024, export sales increased by 32% year-on-year. Among them, Zimbabwe's market sales increased by 360% year on year, becoming a new growth pole in the regional market.

development engine in Zambia Industrial Park
Industrial Park always regards innovation as the first driving force for development, takes technological innovation as a breakthrough point, speeds up the popularization and application of new equipment, new technologies and new processes, and promotes the landing of green technological transformation projects. To fully mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, the production system has been transformed and innovated many times, among which the two innovations of "weighbridge infrared anti-cheating system" and "double roller screening" have been registered patents in Zambia. At the same time, through the magnetic levitation transformation of Roots blower and energy-saving transformation of permanent magnet motor, the cost of electricity has been reduced by 1.5% year on year. The standard coal consumption has been greatly reduced by the innovative use of slag batching technology.

Safety First, Green Development, Safety and Environmental Protection Continuous and Stable
Industrial Park always adheres to the concept of "Safety First, Green Development". Actively integrate Chinese standards and Zambian regulations, through the implementation of safety standardization construction, train local safety management personnel, achieve 100% compliance rate of key section posts and five-year "zero serious injury" safety production record, won the "African Safety Excellence Award" in 2024, and become a safety management benchmark. The industrial park strictly implements the green low-carbon commitment, raises the 28-day strength of clinker to more than 55.0 MPa in 2024, continuously optimizes the amount of admixture, and realizes the comprehensive utilization of resources. We will accelerate the promotion of waste heat and photovoltaic power generation projects, plan to build Africa's first "zero power purchase" green factory, achieve the goal of low carbon in the whole industrial chain, and provide a demonstration for the green transformation of African industry.

is deeply cultivated in the territory, win-win cooperation, and the marketing leader is full of
vitality. The industrial park continues to deepen the localization management, and the proportion of localization of the sales team continues to increase. With the advantages of language and culture, Zanfang employees have achieved good results in market development. Through the group building, skills exchange and local public welfare activities, the brand influence of "SINOMA" cement has been continuously enhanced, and the market share has been steadily increased. In 2024, the Industrial Park established in-depth cooperation with Zimbabwe, Malawi and other markets, stationed long-term business personnel to serve and accurately meet customer needs. At the same time, through customs audit and tax health inspection, we can ensure the compliance and efficiency of import and export business, and further consolidate the foundation of sustainable development of enterprises.
In the future, Zambia Industrial Park will continue to deepen the three tail-warping factors of "cement +", "internationalization" and "double carbon", accelerate the landing of waste heat power generation and photovoltaic projects, and build the first "zero power purchase" cement production base in Africa. We will further extend the "cement plus" industrial chain and continue to promote the operation of light assets projects. Closely around the "product quality, cost control, technological innovation, brand influence" to promote production and operation, and continuously enhance the core competitiveness of the company. Actively promote the upgrading of China-Africa economic and trade cooperation, and contribute to the backbone of Zambia Industrial Park in Africa for China Building Materials Group to achieve the strategic goal of "Ten-Year Overseas Reengineering".
