14 February 2017

Siam Cement Group Building materials Division’s sales fall by 4% to US$4.9bn in 2016

25 January 2017

Thailand: Siam Cement Group’s Building Materials division’s sales revenue fell by 4% year-on-year to US$4.9bn in 2016. Its profit fell by 17% to US$241m. It blamed the falling sales and profit on increased competition, falling earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) and increased depreciation expenses. Overall, across the group’s chemical and packaging division, sales revenue fell but profits rose in 2016 driven by the chemical business.

Roongrote Rangsiyopash, the president and chief executive officer of Siam Cement Group, said the company is focusing on expansion strategies within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region. Its 1.8Mt/yr cement plant in Myanmar started commercial production in early 2017 and a cement plant in Laos is undergoing commissioning.

Siam Cement Group cement revenue falls in first half of 2016

27 July 2016

Thailand: Siam Cement Group’s sales revenue from its cement and building materials division fell by 4% year-on-year to US$2.54bn in the first half of 2016. Profit for the half-year period fell by 11% to US$165m. The cement producer reported that Thailand’s total domestic cement demand decreased by 3% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2016 due to soft demand from non-government sectors.

Overall, Siam Cement Group saw a 2% fall in revenue across all business lines to US$3.11bn and a rise in profit by 18% to US$843m. It attributed the rise in profits to the performance of its chemical business.

“We see a bright future for markets across the region, with steady growth rates. Especially in Vietnam, demand for building materials and packaging has risen, on the back of the boom of construction industry, with several infrastructure, residential and industrial projects, as the country has become a key production base of the world. Cambodia also continues to see steady growth of its industries while Indonesia has also begun to see improvements in the economy, with construction of several government mega-projects. At the same time, trade around the borders of Thailand and neighbouring countries is also doing well,” said Roongrote Rangsiyopash, President and CEO of Siam Cement Group.

Asia Cement chases missing mine money

21 June 2016

Thailand: Asia Cement has arranged negotiations with the Ministry of Industry to retrieve a US$8.5m deposit placed as a guarantee for a limestone mine licence application. The cement producer was granted a licence to operate a limestone mine in Nakhon Si Thammarat province in 1997. However, an environmental order nullified the licence and allowed the government to keep the deposit, according to the Bangkok Post.

"The government and Asia Cement have set up legal teams to negotiate and seek solutions that are acceptable to both sides," said Chat Hongtiamchant, director-general of the ministry's Department of Primary Industries and Mines. The subsidiary of Italcementi also wants to drop the mine project due to a change in the market demand.

South East Asia is one of the regions where Sika generates some of its highest growth rates and we are well positioned to continue this positive development," said Heinz Gisel, Regional Manager Asia-Pacific.
