China: Sichuan Shuangma Cement’s board of directors voted in favour of a rebranding on 16 December 2021. In a filing to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the company stated that it will change its name to Sichuan Hexie Shuangma. The reason for the change is the producer’s diversification away from its original business of cement production into other industries, making the ‘Cement’ element less relevant than it had previously been. Hexie is Chinese for harmony.
