On September 3, OCC Chairman Ma Weiping and his delegation visited Fujian Longlin Group Co., Ltd. and were warmly received by Chairman Xu Baiqiang, General Manager Xu Aqiang and other senior officials. The two sides exchanged views on the situation of Fujian cement industry.
Xu Baiqiang said that due to the high price starting point at the beginning of the year, the decline in coal prices, and the active leading role of large enterprises in the region, the industry benefits in the first half of the year were significantly better than last year, but due to the grim situation of the construction industry, the overall demand for cement in the first half of the year was still in a downward trend. Under the current situation, the industry should give full play to the leading role of large enterprises and work together to meet the challenges.
Ma Weiping said that the problem of overcapacity in the cement industry is becoming more and more serious, and 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.
