Taipei International Building Materials Exhibition Asia Cement Corporation collaborates with subsidiaries to create a low-carbon ecosystem

        The 2024 Taipei International Building Materials and Products Exhibition will be held on December 12th, Asia Cement Corporation showcases the strength and contribution of low-carbon building materials technology under the theme of "Sustainable Environmental Protection, Low Carbon Innovation". K. Y. Lee President stated, Asia Cement Corporation has been committed to sustainability development for many years, striving to promote the transformation of Taiwan's building materials market, gradually pushing low-carbon products to the international stage, and hoping to become a benchmark enterprise in Taiwan's green building materials field.

        As the first company in Taiwan to research, develop, manufacture, and sell low-carbon cement, Asia Cement Corporation, through its production bases in Hualien and Hsinchu, connects the northern, central, southern, and eastern storage and transportation networks, and collaborates with 75 distributors with green concepts to create a stable and efficient supply chain. This not only meets the construction needs of various regions, but also extends the low-carbon building materials spirit to all parts of Taiwan, injecting sustainable energy into the construction industry in Taiwan.

        Asia Cement Corporation actively promotes sustainable building materials and reduces carbon footprint through innovative technologies. At present, the low-carbon cement market in Taiwan is limited by regulations and downstream manufacturers' usage habits, and still needs to be expanded, As a pioneer in carbon reduction, Asia Cement Corporation has traveled to construction sites and exhibitions across Taiwan for many years to promote. As early as 2011, it was the first to launch masonry cement, and its initial sales growth was slow. However, in recent years, with the rise of carbon reduction trends, green building materials have attracted much attention, and the sales of masonry cement have significantly increased; The sales of another Portland limestone cement have also been increasing year by year since its launch in 2022. It is expected that the low-carbon cement market will grow exponentially in the future, moving towards the target of selling 500000 tons by 2035.

        Asia Cement Corporation's subsidiary Ya Tung Ready Mixed Concrete Corporation, which participated in the exhibition together, focuses on the research and application of high-performance and low-carbon concrete. Ya Tung Ready Mixed Concrete Corporation has 20 production bases across Taiwan, customizing low-carbon concrete according to customer needs, with a carbon reduction effect of up to 50%. President Kim Chong in pointed out that, Ya Tung Ready Mixed Concrete Corporation not only adopts Asia Cement Corporation's Portland limestone cement to replace general cement, adjust bone materials and ratios, and other concrete carbon reduction strategies, but also sets up an ESG interactive section on its official website, providing customers with a carbon footprint calculator to predict carbon emissions, or using a quality management app to track material carbon footprint in real time, and assisting customers in obtaining low-carbon Level 1 certification.

        Asia Cement Corporation and Ya Tung Ready Mixed Concrete Corporation have always been at the forefront of green transformation, from stable supply chains to innovative low-carbon technologies, providing more low-carbon solutions and working together to create a more competitive green building materials market, promoting sustainable development of the industry.
