Brand Positioning

• A Century-Old High-Quality Brand

  Huaxin Cement, known as the cradle of China’s cement industry, has a long history and profound technical expertise. All 15 cement types produced by the company are among the first batch of national inspection exemptions products. Its flagship brand “Huaxin Castle^®” is a “China Famous Trademark.” Centering on cement as its core business, Huaxin has vertically extended to aggregates, concrete, eco business, equipment manufacturing & engineering, and new building materials, forming a high-quality integrated building materials supplier across the full industry chain.

• A Global Building Materials Group

  Huaxin’s business network extensively covers 17 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across China, while actively expanding overseas. The company has established operations in 18 countries, holding a leading position in Central Asia. Through mergers, acquisitions, and greenfield plants abroad, Huaxin has significantly enhanced its global brand influence, becoming one of the pioneering Chinese cement enterprises to “go global.”

• A Benchmark in Green and Low-Carbon Development

  Huaxin is a firm advocate of environmental protection and a pioneer in low-carbon development. The company incorporates green and low-carbon practices into its long-term strategy, leading the industry in energy efficiency management. With a carbon reduction routing, Huaxin reduces emissions through the use of pre-treated waste fuels, biomass fuels, and other alternative fuels. Intelligent low-carbon cement manufacturing solutions have been deployed in over 20 plants. Leveraging cement kilns for waste co-processing, Huaxin has successfully expanded its eco business nationwide.

• Innovation-Driven Technology Leadership

  Through the integrated model of “cement + aggregates + concrete,” Huaxin lowers customers’ overall construction costs, while enhancing service efficiency with digital platforms (industrial intelligence, business intelligence, management intelligence). The company launched Huaxinshifu^®, an innovative cement brand tailored for home renovation, bringing a friendly image closer to consumers. Huaxin also created “Huaxin Mall”, the first e-commerce platform in the building materials industry, pioneering new sales models.

Technological Innovation

1. Huaxin Aggregates

Huangshi Huaxin Green Building Materials Industry Co., Ltd. operates the world’s largest manufactured sand and aggregates project, with a total investment of RMB 10 billion. Located in Fuchi Town, Yangxin County, the plant covers over 1,800 mu. Equipped with the most advanced international production technology, the facility has an annual capacity of 100 million tons of mechanism sand and gravel production line (referred to as 100 million tons line), with high-quality manufactured sand accounting for 40% of output. The site includes 11 storage silos with a total capacity of 1.6 million tons and plans to utilize overburden and mine waste for producing eco-friendly wall materials. The project features digitalized green mining, smart factories, and intelligent terminals, with two planned docks and eight berths, supporting a daily shipping capacity of 350,000 tons.

The company adopts a highly integrated sand production system that combines crushing, shaping, screening, powder selection, and intelligent moist mixing. By using crushed stone as raw material, Huaxin ensures fully controllable production indicators. The manufactured sand features excellent particle shape, smooth and clean texture, low MB value without flocculants, continuous grading in Zone II, and adjustable fineness modulus and stone powder content. Intelligent humidification during production and transport guarantees consistency.

2. Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC)

Huaxin has long been committed to UHPC research and development. Based on the “maximum packing density” design theory, and through optimized mix design of ultra-high-strength raw materials, toughening fibers, and highly efficient admixtures, the company developed Huaxin Chaokelong^® UHPC—a new engineering material with exceptional durability and superior mechanical performance at an internationally leading level.

In 2024, to meet defense engineering needs for extreme environments requiring ultra-high-strength concrete above 400 MPa, Huaxin innovated in theory, materials, and processes, successfully developing China’s first super high-strength concrete with compressive strength exceeding 600 MPa.

3. Huaxinshifu^®

Huaxinshifu is a premium eco-friendly auxiliary material brand launched for the home improvement retail market. Its product portfolio includes tile adhesives, waterproofing, and putty, supported by a nationwide sales and service network of over 2,000 outlets.

All cement-based products use Huaxin’s own high-grade specialty cement, aggregates from the world’s largest green manufactured sand line, and proprietary 4.3 billion-ton aggregate reserves. Raw aggregates undergo 23 shaping processes. Additives are sourced from top global chemical partners.

Huaxinshifu mortars offer wide applicability, excellent workability, fast repair, high water resistance, strong adhesion, and low shrinkage, effectively addressing surface cracking.
