Conch Cement Acquires Yanyuan Jinguan Assets to Build a Xizang Clinker Supply Line

2026-11-12 14:58:58

In October 2026, Conch Cement acquired assets related to Sichuan Yanyuan Golden Crown Cement and Huiyan Building Materials through its subsidiary Yanyuan Conch. The core motivation is to build a clinker supply line for Basu Conch, the only clinker base in Xizang. Relying on the layout of the methanol heavy truck and charging corridor of the Yunnan-Xizang line, the electric truck transportation can smooth out the logistics cost of about 1000 kilometers and realize the feasibility of guaranteeing supply. At the same time, the acquisition can undertake the follow-up infrastructure cement demand of Yalong River Corridor, fill the gap in the market of Hailuo West Sichuan, improve the production capacity layout of West Sichuan-East Xizang, and also provide a sample for the integration and withdrawal of small and medium-sized kiln lines of private enterprises.

On 28

October 2026, Conch Cement entered into the Asset Transfer Agreement with Sichuan Yanyuan Jinguan Cement and Yanyuan Huiyan Building Materials: Yanyuan Conch Building Materials (with a registered capital of RMB200 million) jointly owned by Anhui Conch and Chongqing Conch acquired the 2500t/d clinker production line and supporting grinding system, land use right and limestone mining right of Jinguan Cement, as well as the shale mining right and aggregate production line of Huiyan Building Materials. The handover of assets was completed on November 1, and the target is designed to produce clinker annually. 77. What is the intention of this merger and acquisition transaction?

1. Main motivation: The clinker gap of Basu Conch is continuously expanding

. Basu Conch is the only clinker base of Conch in Xizang. The clinker line has reached 3000t/d after technical transformation, and the annual production capacity is about 930,000 tons; In terms of

demand growth, in March 2026, Conch disclosed that it had won the bid to supply 1.27 million tons of cement for the remaining works of the Ya'an-Nyingchi section of the Sichuan-Xizang Railway, amounting to about 8. The hydropower project in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River will be started in July 2025, with a total investment of about 1.

On the supply side, Basu Conch's cement grinding station with an annual output of 700,000 tons will be started on September 17, 2026, and the official announcement clearly States that it "relies on the existing clinker resources in the plant area to reduce the transfer of cement from other places".

Data source: Cement Big Data (https://data) .ccement. In other words, the clinker required by Basu must be imported from outside the region, and the most controllable source outside the region is only its own production capacity. In

only half a year, Conch Cement has been laid out one after another:

in May, methanol heavy trucks serving Sichuan-Xizang Railway and Yaxia material transportation were put into operation in batches (50 units have been put into operation and 200 units are planned to be expanded); On July 23, China Tower Xizang Branch tendered for the construction of heavy truck charging stations in Yanjing and Mangkang on the Yunnan-Xizang line, and the tender documents clearly stated that "the main guarantee is the charging demand of heavy freight vehicles from Yunnan to Conch Cement Plant on the Yunnan-Xizang line". At the same time, it shows that the import of freight from Yunnan to Basu Conch has occurred normally.

On September 17, Basu Conch's 700,000-ton grinding station started construction.

On October 26, the second phase of the tower was tendered for the construction of three additional charging stations, including Zuogong Linda, which just filled the gap in the energy supply of the Mangkang-Basu section.

On October 28, Yanyuan Golden Crown Asset Transfer Agreement was signed. It is not a coincidence that

charging (replacement) infrastructure, grinding expansion and acquisition of clinker sources are coordinated within half a year, but the intentional layout of Conch Cement.

The core issue of the economic account is very direct: Yanyuan clinker is transported to Basu and ground into cement for sale. Which is higher, the full cost per ton of cement or the local price? If it is much higher than local price, there is no profit. If it is lower than or roughly equal, it is feasible to guarantee supply.

Oil truck transportation is completely untenable: 0.42 ~ 0 according to the mountain trunk line. This is also the reason why "clinker supply to Xizang" is intuitively denied-under the existing oil truck logistics conditions, the denial is established.

However, if the electric card is used for transportation, there is a possibility that the economic account will be established.

The tower charging corridor is built around the conch cargo flow, which corresponds to the "own exclusive fleet cost" rather than market tariff caliber. According to the optimistic standard, the electric card freight rate is equivalent to 0.22 ~ 0.

III.

Golden Crown is the only clinker line within 150 kilometers of Yanyuan and Muli, and the other six clinker lines in Liangshan Prefecture are all located in the east of the prefecture.

The local demand increment mainly comes from the surrounding infrastructure projects: the full-cycle cement demand of Baiwu Pumped Storage (1.7 million kW, about 40 km away from Jinguan, the main project period is 2027-2031) is about 400,000 ~ 700,000 tons; Xixiang Expressway (233 km of main line, 73.4% of bridge and tunnel ratio, total investment of 587. In the peak construction year of the middle reaches of Yalong River corridor (2028-2029), the total cement demand is about 850,000 to 1.4 million tons.

Table 2: Main demand projects

in the middle reaches of Yalong River Before the acquisition, Conch's bases in Sichuan were all located in Guangyuan, Dazhou and Bazhong, and Liangshan was the blank of its territory in Sichuan, which directly corresponds to the statement in the company's annual report of 2025 that "seeking M & a opportunities in the domestic dominant market and blank market". It is also in line with the logic of the Western Cement Xinjiang Project and the Wanwei Chaohu Project. As far as this transaction is concerned, Conch Cement has ensured the stable supply of clinker in the Xizang production line through acquisition, while aiming at the incremental demand in the middle reaches of the Yalong River, the company's own nodes in the West Sichuan-East Xizang arc have increased from eight to two. After the completion of the southwest territory, the company's market presence and management radius in the Panxi-Northwest Yunnan border zone extend synchronously.

At the same time, despite the limited market volume in Liangnan, the main hinterlands of Star Ship City, Southwest Cement and other enterprises in the state are misplaced with each other, and the possibility of win-win cooperation among large enterprises through market collaboration still exists. The production capacity of private enterprises has been collected and stored by the leading enterprises, and the industry integration has moved from slogans to transactions, which provides an exit template for similar small and medium-sized kiln lines.

At the end of the Spring Festival, the market is highly concerned about the trend of sand and gravel in the new year. 2024 is an indisputable year of sand and gravel shrinkage. Demand is fatigue, supply is excessive, sand and gravel prices continue to decline in depth, profits are reduced, and labor pains are difficult to stop. In the new year of 2025, will we continue to struggle in the cold winter or break the ice?

Around the Spring Festival of 2025, the new order index of the downstream construction industry and the operation rate of cement mills dropped to a record low, the terminal demand performance was sluggish, and the industry was under great pressure to start. At the same time, cement enterprises control the inventory level at the low level of the same period in previous years by increasing the intensity of peak staggering production, which provides a realistic basis for price stabilization and recovery. At this stage, cement enterprises need to focus on maintaining market competition order, insisting on maintaining price stability, and avoiding further losses in the industry.
