In recent years, in response to the national "Belt and Road" initiative, domestic cement enterprises have gone overseas and made remarkable achievements.
Recently, Conch Cement, the leading cement enterprise in China, has made another great feat. According to Li Xin, Director of Overseas Development Department of Conch Cement (who was the regional director of Conch Cement in Myanmar), "After the completion of the 5,000-ton cement clinker production line of Conch in Myanmar, the Ministry of Industry of Myanmar gave a high appraisal and required that all subsequent cement plants be built in accordance with Conch standards.". We are proud to say that we have promoted the technological progress and structural upgrading of the local cement industry. After a hundred years of development,
the domestic cement industry has moved from backwardness to strength. From learning and imitation at the beginning to surpassing and leading now, with the joint efforts of several generations of cement colleagues, the domestic cement industry has ushered in a new chapter of development. As one of the most influential industries in the world industry, cement industry is also one of the few industries in China that can export complete sets of equipment, design and operation standards. < br/>
"The world's cement looks at China, and China's cement looks at conch". Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Russia, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Vietnam, Georgia, East Timor.. On the construction sites of these countries along the "Belt and Road" route, "Conch Man" is becoming a business card for Chinese enterprises.
The data show that by the end of 2018, the conch group has 38 companies and 41 projects along the "one belt and one road" area, with more than 3200 overseas employees and a total investment of nearly 10 billion yuan, realizing the internationalization from product export to technology export, then to capital export and overseas plant construction. At present, projects in the Philippines, Ethiopia, Nepal and other countries are also being intensively negotiated and promoted.
In the process of overseas development, Conch Group adheres to the concept of consultation, co-construction and sharing, and achieves mutual benefit and win-win with investing countries and local communities by building a community of interests and carrying out international capacity cooperation.
In the first half of the year, Conch Group's first overseas project, South Canada Conch, achieved 209% of its operating profit plan; Myanmar Conch was running at full capacity, with both production and sales booming, the kiln had been running continuously for 130 days, and 152% of its operating profit had been achieved; Battambang Conch overcame the adverse factors such as power rationing and power outage, improved the basic management internally and expanded the sales market externally to increase benefits. In the first half of the year, it sold more than 1 million tons of cement and achieved a record high profit. The construction of Luang Prabang Project in Laos is in full swing, and the main equipment has entered the factory and entered the peak period of installation. It is expected to be put into operation by the end of the year; The first batch of land in the main plant area of Vientiane Project has obtained land certificates and construction permits in the front area of the plant, and the project construction has formally entered the stage of self-construction from the preparatory stage, and has taken a substantial step..
As the blueprints of overseas projects continue to become reality, Conch Group has not only created thousands of jobs for the countries along the "Belt and Road" route, boosted local economic development and infrastructure improvement, but also led to the expansion of China's large-scale equipment export, complete sets of equipment, general contracting and other related businesses overseas. Up to now, conch products and technical equipment have been exported to more than 70 countries and regions.
In addition to Conch Group, China Building Materials, Red Lion, Huaxin and other excellent domestic cement enterprises are also going overseas with fruitful results. < br/>
In 2012, Red Lion Group sent staff to investigate overseas markets and set up a special overseas region in 2013. At present, Red Lion Group has invested about 2 billion US dollars to build five large-scale cement projects in Indonesia, Laos, Nepal, Myanmar and other countries. Among them, Laos Vientiane Red Lion Project, with a total investment of USD 300 million and an annual output of 2 million tons of high-grade cement, has been put into operation in February 2018; Nepal Project, with a total investment of USD 3.5 billion and an annual output of 2.3 million tons of high-grade cement, has been put into operation in May 2018. Indonesia's large-scale cement project with an annual output of 10 million tons signed
on June 8, with a total investment of US $1 billion, is the largest overseas project of Red Lion Group in terms of capacity and investment scale. Prior to this, Red Lion Group has started construction of the Red Lion Cement Project in Indonesia, with a total investment of US $300 million and an annual output of 3 million tons of high-grade cement, which is planned to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2019. < br/>
In addition to Red Lion, domestic cement giants are laying out overseas territory. Song Zhiping, chairman of China Building Materials, a cement production giant, said at the Second World Cement Conference that by 2020, China Building Materials Group plans to build 10 building materials industrial parks, 10 international laboratories and 10 overseas building materials warehouses along the "one belt and one road", and plans to open 100 building materials chain stores and help manage 100 local factories.
Huaxin is one of the earliest domestic cement enterprises to go overseas. In Tajikistan, the country currently has 18 cement plants with a total capacity of about 5 million tons per year, of which the output of Huaxin Gale Cement and Zhongzhengtai Mohill Cement, a Sino-Tajikistan joint venture, accounts for more than 85% of the total output in the first five months of 2019.
In addition to the above enterprises, there are many Chinese cement enterprises emerging in the overseas market. The current "Belt and Road" initiative has created unprecedented opportunities for Chinese enterprises to go overseas, but due to differences in standards, domestic enterprises often encounter resistance in the process of foreign investment. The Ministry of Industry of Myanmar said, "The follow-up construction of cement plants shall be in accordance with the conch standard." It is not only the affirmation of conch, but also the affirmation of Chinese cement, but also the affirmation of Chinese manufacturing.
It is believed that in the near future, more Chinese cement enterprises will succeed overseas and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results with the investing countries and local communities.
