Five-year transformation has achieved remarkable results: from a traditional cement leader to a diversified ecological builder

Over the past five years, Shangfeng Cement has successfully achieved a magnificent transformation from a traditional cement production enterprise to a diversified industrial ecological builder, and the transformation has achieved remarkable results.

As a leading enterprise in the traditional cement industry, Shangfeng Cement has been actively exploring diversified development paths since it started its transformation strategy. While consolidating the advantages of the main cement industry, it vigorously promoted the extension of the industrial chain, and the scale of the aggregate business continued to expand.

By the end of 2024, the total annual production capacity of cement clinker of the Company will be approximately 18 million tons, the total annual production capacity of cement will be approximately 20 million tons, the annual waste heat power generation capacity will be approximately 86 MW, the total annual production capacity of commercial concrete will be approximately 600,000 cubic meters, and the total annual production capacity of aggregate will be approximately 18 million tons. The total annual production capacity of environmental co-disposal of various hazardous solid wastes is about 868,000 tons, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation is 23.59 MW, and the installed capacity of energy storage is 4MWh. The capacity scale of Shangfeng Cement's traditional cement industry + industrial chain extension wing has achieved a structural breakthrough.

As a black horse in the field of equity investment, Shangfeng Cement has prospectively entered into strategic emerging industries such as semiconductors, new energy and new materials, and gradually built up a complete industrial ecology in related fields. In the field of semiconductors, the company has invested in more than 20 high-quality enterprises, such as Crystal Integration and Guangzhou Yuexin, covering the whole industrial chain of chip design, manufacturing, sealing and testing, materials and so on. Among them, Jinghe Integration has been listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board in 2023, and Shangfeng Cement has gained rich returns through the reduction of its holdings, thus realizing the effective return and recycling of funds.

In the annual report of 2024, Shangfeng Cement released a two-wheel drive strategy for the next five years. The management of Shangfeng Cement said that in the next five years, the company will focus on upgrading the main building materials industry and investing in new quality productivity. Construct a new pattern of coordinated development of traditional industries and strategic emerging industries. The first round of the

"two-wheel drive" strategy is the material industry chain including cement, clinker, aggregate, environmental protection, new energy and other businesses; the other round is the equity investment chain of new quality productivity. While ensuring that the cornerstone building materials business remains focused on development and growth and providing solid cash flow and dividend support, Shangfeng Cement will continue to strengthen equity investment in domestic alternative leading enterprises in the field of "sticking neck", and gradually form a two-wheel-driven, complementary and balanced business pattern.

According to the plan, by 2029, the business pattern of Shangfeng Cement will strive to evolve from "two-wheel drive" to "troika", forming a coordinated development pattern consisting of new material growth business, building material cornerstone business and equity investment capital business.

Industry analysis points out that the strategic transformation of Shangfeng Cement provides a sample reference for the traditional manufacturing industry to explore the development of "industry + capital". Under the dual pressure of overcapacity and "double carbon" target in building materials industry, equity investment in strategic emerging industries not only conforms to the strategic orientation of national scientific and technological innovation, but also opens up a "second space" for enterprises to increase their value.
