“A few days ago, after a visit in our company, a Nigerian customer was very satisfied with our products. They quickly placed an order and paid a deposit,” said Xiao Hongfang, the general manager of Guiyang Yinteng Building Materials Co., Ltd., happily.

On August 28, workers were busy producing a batch of environmentally friendly water-based paints in the company to be shipped to Nigeria.

With the continuous improvement of people’s awareness of environmental protection and the advancement of technology, green buildings have become a development trend in the construction industry.

Enterprises in Guiyang High-tech Zone are focusing on the construction industry chain, increasing R&D and production efforts in green and environmentally friendly building materials, with their products being exported to international markets such as Nigeria in Africa.

“Recently, an Indonesian customer also came for a visit, and he was very interested in our imitation stone paint,” Xiao Hongfang said. Since her participation in the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo, Xiao Hongfang has met many African clients.

“Driven by technological innovation, it is particularly necessary to promote the green transformation and high-quality development of the building materials industry during this critical period,” said Xiao Hongfang.

In the production process, the enterprise will strictly control the use of raw materials and standardize the production process according to customer needs, and conduct R&D and production based on the local climate, pricing and other requirements of foreign customers.

In terms of products, the R&D team of the company adopts innovative technologies and formulas to develop water-based paint series products to replace traditional solvent based paints.

Compared with traditional paints, water-based paints contain fewer harmful volatile organic compounds, making them more environmentally friendly and healthy. These products not only reduce the risk of air pollution during construction, but also create healthier indoor environments for homes and workplaces.

In the Yinteng exhibition hall, various “technological” building materials can be seen everywhere, many of which have functions such as noise reduction, antibacterial, waterproof, and fireproof. These products can also achieve personalized customization, fast delivery, and quick installation.

“At present, our company's imitation stone paint and art coatings are particularly popular.” Xiao Hongfang introduced that these products incorporate personalized elements through unique technologies, with beautiful and realistic stone effects. They are a new choice for building materials in the industry and can be transformed into various styles of wall panels and stone pillar panels.

Providing a comprehensive service ecosystem and one-stop solutions for school construction and house renovation and building a full product marketing channel are also an important lever for building materials to achieve transformation and development.

Against the backdrop of declining product demand and overall performance pressure in the building materials industry, the sales volume of Sheng’an Building Materials business has increased by 9% year-on-year, boosting confidence in the consumption upgrade of the long stagnant building materials industry.

Regarding the building materials and home decoration market, many enterprises in Guiyang are currently making efforts in R&D, production, market promotion, and sales. They are optimizing process technology, promoting functionalization and differentiation of materials and products to meet diverse needs.

At the same time, enterprises should strengthen market promotion and product design capabilities, thus enabling environment-friendly products, green home decoration and building materials to enter a broader market.
