CMS best performing cement company in malaysia. east malaysia all buy from him no competition.

CIMA not doing very good i heard.

Malayan cement no comments

hong leong is consolidating its operation last i heard.
between hume cement and tasek cement.
previously same owner different management.

Ytl together with malayan cement is the largest cement producer in malaysia
followed by hongleong (tasek and hume)
then cima.


For CIS, i did simple googling . i never heard before so i never comment just now.
they are partial own by tasek, gov and state gov.
from what i see they are just grinding plant.
not integrated plant.
they still need to buy clinker (material for cement production) from other parties.

CMS on the other hand is integrated plant. meaning they produce cement from raw material (limestone and clay)
YTL,Malayan,hume, tasek and cima is also integrated plant.

dont think cement is imported in west malaysia. not sure about east tho.
i heard CMS business is so good that during long maintenance they buy from west malaysia as well to sustain the consumption.
producing will be cheaper unless in countries like myanmar.
even if import/export they usually do clinker .
they will still need to grind at the respective places to produce cement.

Edit: if im not mistaken , clinker from japan abit cheaper as in japan cement is usually the byproduct.
they actually use the cement kiln to burn of waste( something like alam flora).
they earn money from the waste disposal.
clinker they jsut sell off as a byproduct to earn more money.
not sure about the quality tho.

there is special cement called fly ash cement. some grinding plant use it. meaning they buy those fly ash from power plant then mix with with clinker at a certain ratio to produce fly ash cement.

i remember it has a longer curing time but less heat during curing so we can cast at bigger block size without cracking (i hear before as one of building uses it) im not involved in construction.

A lot of bosses dont want to try newer technology.
first is cost .
second is , if its aint broken why fix it mentallity.

Consolidation of business i guess.
Maybe cheaper to manage, less layers.
reducing manpower cost.
since at the end of the day the ultimate boss is the same person.

should be owned by sika now.

Buy lafarge d probably biggest supplier in msia.
biggest concrete also msia.
tho moving forward no mega project hmm

erm lafarge was bought over by ytlcement back in 2019.
now ytl+lafarge is under mcement.
