He noted that Huaxin was listed on the market 30 years ago to seek a turnaround. Over the past 30 years, Huaxin has insisted on operating a longlasting business with perseverance, devotedly pursuing development, continuing to create value for shareholders, and innovating a low-investment, high-efficiency development path. Looking into the future, Huaxin will march on to be a world-class multinational enterprise, adhere to the Company's "Four Strategies", and create a world-class multinational enterprise with leading financial indicators and an industry pioneer in the low-carbon sustainable development, and a respected Company that creates value for its employees, shareholders, and the society.
In March 1992, Huaxin was listed by Hubei Provincial Government as a pilot enterprise for transforming operation mechanism. In 1994, Huaxin's A and B shares were listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the first dual listing of A+B share in the building materials industry in Hubei Province and the whole country. Huaxin not only pioneered the first private placement of B-share in China's capital market, but also was the first company to issue A-shares to overseas strategic investors. In March 2022, Huaxin landed on the Hong Kong stock market as the first B to H-share company in Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Over the past 30 years since listing, Huaxin has developed from a single cement plant with an annual cement capacity of 1 million tons to an integrated multinational group with more than 60 cement plants and nearly 300 operating entities at home and abroad, boasting businesses such as cement, aggregate, RMX, eco disposal, equipment, and new materials, which has driven the century-old enterprise to materialize a wonderful transformation.
