On September 1, Chairman Shao Jun of China Cement Network and his delegation visited Fujian Jinniu Cement (Group) Co., Ltd. and were warmly received by Chairman and General Manager Zhang Wen and other senior officials. The two sides had in-depth exchanges on industry topics of common concern.
Zhang Wen welcomed the arrival of Shao Jun and his delegation, and expressed appreciation for China Cement Network's use of big industry data to play the role of industry think tank and promote the healthy development of the industry. Zhang Wen said that in the first half of this year, Fujian cement demand contracted slightly, and the fundamentals were still good. Thanks to the higher price starting point at the beginning of the year and the decline in coal prices, the industry benefits are better than same period last year.
Zhang Wen said that the demand for cement will decline in 2025, but the price competition will be more orderly, and the profit of the cement industry will be improved. Jinniu Cement should use new productivity to promote transformation and upgrading and form new advantages. We should vigorously carry out technological transformation, strengthen technological upgrading and green manufacturing, promote and pay close attention to the application and development trend of AI and other intelligent manufacturing, build new projects with high standards, and promote the more stable development of enterprises.
Shao Jun said that China Cement Network will continue to develop the industry with digitalization and intellectualization, and work with industry colleagues including Jinniu Cement to actively respond to the new cycle of the industry.
