Since its establishment in 1979, for more than 40 years, Beixin Building Materials has been focusing on the field of construction materials. By 2012, Beixin Building Materials has owned 54 wholly-owned and controlled large-scale gypsum board production lines, and the scale of gypsum board industry reached 1.65 billion square meters, making it the largest gypsum board industry group in the world. At present, Beixin Building Materials has 90 gypsum board production lines, and the scale of gypsum board industry reaches 3.838 billion square meters.

In China, the problem of water leakage in houses is a stubborn problem, in addition to the top floor is easy to leak, there are often cases of water leakage between neighbors going up and down the stairs to court because of water leakage.

Is the problem of building leakage really not solved?


In the view of Beixin Group Building Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Beixin New Materials"), a subsidiary of China National Building Materials Group, this is not a problem.

Since its establishment in 1979, for more than 40 years, Beijian New Materials has been focusing on the field of building materials. By 2012, Beijian New Materials had 54 wholly-owned and controlled large-scale gypsum board production lines, and the gypsum board industry scale reached 16.5 billion square meters, becoming the world's largest gypsum board industry group. At present, Beijian New Materials has 90 gypsum board production lines, and the gypsum board industry scale has reached 38.38 billion square meters.

 

Under the guidance of the new development strategy of "one body, two wings and global layout", in addition to continuing to develop its main business gypsum board, Beijian New Materials also identifies waterproof materials and coatings as its strategic main business, aiming to solve problems closely related to people's lives, such as house cracks, water leakage and formaldehyde pollution.

 

Beijian New Materials is the green building new material industry platform of China National Building Materials Group. On December 2019, 12, when Zhou Yuxian, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China National Building Materials Group, went to Beijian New Materials for research and guidance, he affirmed its development strategy of "one body, two wings, global layout", and required to further consolidate and strengthen the leading position of gypsum board business in the domestic market, and develop the "two wings" business into the same cornerstone business as gypsum board.

 

In 2021, the new crown pneumonia epidemic began one after another. In the face of unfavorable factors such as frequent thunderstorms in the real estate industry and continuous soaring raw material prices, Beijian New Materials (000786.sz) calmly responded and bucked the trend, and on December 2021, 12, the company's market value reached 31.605 billion yuan, ranking 2021th among the top 500 Chinese listed companies by market value in 394. According to the annual report, Beijian New Materials achieved revenue of 2021.210 billion yuan in 86, a year-on-year increase of 25.15%; The net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 35.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.67%.

 

How did Beijian New Materials become the vanguard of China's new material industry?

 

 

01 Industrial expansion

 
 
Looking around, whether it is a house, office building, shop, hotel or factory building, the internal partition wall, ceiling, sound absorbing board, floor base board and various decorative boards are indispensable to use gypsum board.
 
Since the development of building materials, the application of gypsum board has been very common. It has light weight, high strength, thin thickness, convenient processing, sound insulation and fire resistance, and is one of the new lightweight plates that focus on development.
 
In the 20s of the 90th century, the application of gypsum board in China gradually became popular. At the same time, the industry is becoming increasingly competitive, and the market is full of various fake and shoddy products. The price war has intensified, and the "dragon brand" products of Beijian New Materials have also encountered difficulties.
 
At that time, Beijian New Materials independently developed a series of proprietary technologies and large-scale complete sets of production equipment around the application of desulfurization gypsum in power plants. Concentrate on the advantages to vigorously develop the board business with gypsum board as the core, actively broaden the industrial layout, seize resources and regional opportunities, take the two gypsum board production lines in Beijing as the starting point, begin to build large-scale gypsum board production lines throughout the country, establish the development model from the large base model of one square kilometer in Xisanqi, Beijing to the whole country, and set the goal of "3 million square meters in 3 years, striving to be the first in China".
 
In 2005, Beijian New Materials put forward the strategy of "commanding heights", established core competitiveness and strategic competitive advantages by seizing the commanding heights, and successfully built China's independent high-end brands that surpassed multinational companies in terms of technology, quality, brand, grade, efficiency and scale, and achieved comprehensive surpassing of economic efficiency, operating quality and market share.
 
In 2021, the market share of gypsum board products of Beijian New Material ranked first in the domestic gypsum board industry, with a market share of 67%. It has fulfilled the requirements put forward by Zhou Yuxian when he went to Beijian New Materials in 2019 to investigate.
 

Because the customer base of waterproof materials and architectural coatings business and the customer base of the company's main business gypsum board overlap highly, they are real estate enterprises, in 2019, Beijian New Materials entered the field of waterproof materials and strengthened the architectural coatings business. At the same time, Beijian New Materials has also set its sights on the field of industrial coatings, and has made major breakthroughs in the research and development of many new materials used in military fields such as aerospace and aerospace, such as special conductive coatings, aircraft tank anti-corrosion coatings, infrared stealth coatings, and electrostatic aircraft skin coatings.

 

After entering the waterproofing industry, Beijian New Materials has further entered the infrastructure industry such as highways, railways, bridges, and tunnels, and tapped the market space brought by infrastructure development. The coating business is more extensible, not only in the real estate industry and infrastructure needs, but also in a wider range of national economic construction fields.

 

 

02Rapid reorganization

 
Housing leakage has become a pain point in the construction industry that has plagued the people for many years, and it is imperative to solve this pain point.
 
In fact, China's waterproof industry has decades of development history, a large number of excellent waterproof enterprises have risen rapidly, and gradually become industry leaders, such as Beijian New Material, Oriental Yuhong, Keshun shares, Karen shares, etc. In 2021, the number of waterproofing enterprises above designated size in China reached 839, an increase of 2020 over 116, a year-on-year increase of 16.04%.

 

The market for waterproofing materials and coatings is huge, but the market concentration is not high. Beijian New Materials, which entered the market late, decided to quickly reorganize to solve the current water leakage problem of waterproof materials and the formaldehyde problem of coatings, and create a waterproof system that does not leak and environmentally friendly coatings that remove formaldehyde.
 
 
In 2019, Beijian New Materials entered the field of waterproof materials through joint restructuring. In 2020, Beijian New Materials achieved a waterproof material operating income of more than 30 billion yuan and a net profit of more than 5 million yuan, ranking among the top three in the country.
 
On June 2021, 6, Beixin Waterproofing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Beixin Waterproofing"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Beixin New Materials, was established with a registered capital of 2 billion yuan. Subsequently, Beixin Paint Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Beixin Coating") was established on July 20, 2021 with the same registered capital.
 
At present, Beixin waterproofing business has fully completed the first phase of integration layout and has leapt to become the national waterproof head enterprise. In 2021, Beixin Paint inspected hundreds of paint companies across the country, united with the group company to complete the 100% equity restructuring of the century-old brand "Lighthouse" Paint, and "Baota Mountain" joined the China Coatings Revival Alliance, and the flagship platform of coatings began to take shape.

 

 

03R&D first

 
In addition to aerospace coatings, the high-end market in China's industrial coatings field has long been monopolized by foreign brands. As a high-precision research and development field, almost all key technologies of aerospace are subject to international blockade. In the 50s of last century, Beixin Paint "Lighthouse" brand began to undertake independent research and development tasks of new materials for military and aerospace coatings.
 
At present, in the new wind power field, Beixin Paint is once again facing the situation that the wind power coating market has been clamped down by foreign brands for a long time.
 
In order to open up the situation, in addition to continuing to welcome regional leading enterprises in the industry and "specialized, specialized and new" enterprises in subdivided fields to join Beijian New Material, Beijian New Materials has also carried out comprehensive technological transformation and upgrading of the existing production base.
 
In 2021, there will be more than 30 R&D projects in Beixin, with a total investment of about 8 million yuan.
 
In terms of talent training, Beijian New Materials has successively cooperated with Tsinghua University, Tongji University and other universities and research institutes to establish postdoctoral workstations, cultivated a group of highly educated and high-quality professional researchers, and established a reasonable scientific research echelon. At the same time, Beijian New Materials has formulated the "Key Talent Pool Management Measures" to realize the reasonable sharing and allocation of human resources. Implement the "801" plan, that is, at least one "post-80s" backbone employee of each business unit becomes a member of the team and is used as a key training object for echelon training. At present, 13 professor-level senior engineers and 49 senior engineers have been trained, involving construction, machinery, electrical, materials, chemistry, automation control and other fields.
 
Relying on the national enterprise technology center, postdoctoral workstation and new building materials professional laboratory, Beijian New Materials invested 25.23 billion yuan to build a <>,<>-square-meter R&D headquarters in Beijing's "Future Science City", which is also the largest R&D base in the global building materials industry and prefabricated building industry.
 
Through the R&D center, technology and digitalization department, strategic marketing department and 100 industrial bases covering the whole country, and with the cooperation with major scientific research institutes, Beijian New Materials has built a collaborative and open technological innovation system. Not only the company's headquarters, but also subsidiaries at the base and factory level have been rated as national high-tech enterprises, which is difficult to do in many high-tech industries.
 
Beixin Waterproofing has the only national research institute in the waterproofing industry - CNBM Suzhou Waterproof Research Institute Co., Ltd.; Beixin Paint has strengthened scientific and technological innovation and independent research and development, and established the Aerospace Coatings Research Center and the Wind Power Coatings Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Coatings Science.
 
At present, Beixin Waterproof has promoted the layout of 15 waterproof material production bases, will establish a "1+N" waterproof industry pattern, develop and build a "Beixin" waterproof brand, and build N independent brands in professional markets and business fields.
 
On September 2021, 9, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the list of "National Technology Innovation Demonstration Enterprises" that passed the 13 review and evaluation, and after the initial identification in 2021 and the review in 2015, Beijian New Materials successfully passed the review and evaluation again and entered the list, ranking 2018rd among the top 500 Chinese enterprises in terms of patent strength.
