Green and low carbon are inevitable trends in the development of the cement industry. In recent years, with the proposal of the "dual carbon" goal and the increasing maturity of technology, the advantages of cement admixtures in energy conservation and emission reduction have attracted more and more attention.

Conch Group is one of the largest cement building materials companies in the world. In terms of energy conservation and emission reduction, in addition to vigorously developing energy conservation and emission reduction technologies and equipment for cement manufacturing, enterprises also plan to optimize cement production methods by using special cement admixtures to achieve green and low-carbon cement industrial production. However, the overall concentration of admixtures industry is not high, the vicious competition is serious, and it is difficult to collect money. Entering the admixtures will inevitably face huge challenges.

"Involved in the admixture, Conch Material Technology is ready." Recently, in an interview with our reporter, Xu Gengyou, general manager of Conch Material Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Conch Material Technology), said that after the establishment of the company in 2018, it has successively merged and reorganized Shandong Hongyi Co., Ltd. and Xintongling Group, which has outstanding scientific and technological innovation capabilities in the domestic cement and concrete admixture industry. Relying on Conch's brand value, management concept, and talent advantages, it fully utilizes the scientific research resources advantages of the merger and acquisition companies. It has developed 11 subsidiaries and has become the largest integrated production scale of cement and concrete admixtures in China. At present, with the successful commissioning of the polyether large monomer production workshop of Ningbo Conch Materials Technology, a subsidiary of Conch Materials Technology, and the first batch of qualified polyether products are transported into the finished product library through pipes, marking the full production of the first full-process polyether and alcohol amine raw material base of Conch Materials Technology and the official entry into the production and operation stage.

Challenge

"Faced with problems such as low overall concentration in the admixture industry, serious vicious competition, and difficulty in collecting funds, Conch Material Technology Company does face many challenges, but it is a challenge and an opportunity for Conch Material Technology." Xu Gengyou believes that the low industry concentration can further highlight the company's advantages in large-scale operations and provide fertile potential customer resources for the market expansion of various varieties.

According to reports, regarding the serious problems of vicious competition, the company mainly takes the following measures to deal with it: First, the company has completed the compilation and promulgation of the latest industry group standards, effectively reducing the frequency of vicious competition in the market with inferior products; Second, in the environment where the country vigorously fights corruption and cracks on strict investigations and crackdowns, the procurement business of large enterprises has gradually and quickly become standardized, and the company's excellent product quality advantages are becoming more and more prominent, especially the companies pay more and more attention to feedback on the actual effect of products, and there are basically no vicious competition methods in business cooperation of large enterprises; Third, when the company faces vicious competition between small enterprises, on the one hand, it directly negotiates with its main person in charge, skips all vague links within its company to achieve good cooperation results, and at the same time adopts the agency and dealer model to face irregular market vicious competition and difficulties in collecting cash.

layout

It is understood that admixtures are called the fifth component essential for the preparation of modern high-performance and high-durability concrete. Although the amount is not large, the effect is very obvious.

In this regard, Xu Gengyou pointed out that the quality of concrete admixture is not only dependent on the product's own performance, but also very important in mastering its application technology. It involves many disciplines such as polymer chemistry, building materials, and surfactants. Regarding how to promote the cross-integration and application of multidisciplinary subjects, he suggested that the following two aspects should be started: First, establish an interdisciplinary talent training system and vigorously cultivate comprehensive talents in the industry. The second is to organize interdisciplinary academic seminars.

In addition, Conch Material Technology will next step in planning the layout and planning based on the existing production capacity layout, combine the adjustments of national and local industry regulatory policies, and widely demonstrate the construction conditions of cement and concrete admixture raw material synthesis factories and compound factories, and plan to plan and build the second raw material base project of Conch Material Technology Company on the coast of South China.At the same time, the company closely follows the Conch Group's "Belt and Road" initiative to plan "overseas bases".

"In terms of market planning, the company implements the "three improvements and one increase" strategy, namely, increasing market share, increasing sales revenue, increasing the number of export customers, increasing the proportion of concrete admixture sales revenue, vigorously promote integrated sales, adopt effective methods to focus on breakthroughs, and give full play to the advantages of the group's internal sales channel and market advantages. In terms of R&D planning, the company will increase R&D funding investment in green development areas such as "double carbon" emission reduction, energy conservation and environmental protection, deeply understand the development trends of the industry, implement key core technologies such as "bottlenecks" and filling in shortcomings in the building materials admixture industry, and enhance the source of technological innovation; deepen collaborative innovation in production, academia, and research, realize resource sharing between enterprises and universities, and improve the company's cutting-edge technology research level. In terms of IPO planning, the company will further accelerate the pace of IPO application and strive to achieve the company's initial public offering by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan." Xu Gengyou said of the future.
