Our research and development efforts focus on lowering costs by using waste materials as additives in our cement products. These by-products and waste materials are readily available at low costs. Our ability to recycle such materials and use them in our cement production lowers our overall cost of materials, which we believe represents a significant advantage that distinguishes us from our competitors.
We have entered into cooperative agreements with Xi’an University of Architecture & Technology, Nanjing University of Technology Powder Science and Technology Research Institution, Tianjin Cement Industrial Design institution and Nanjing Cement Industrial Design Institution, each a leading research institution in construction materials or cement-related technology.
