Recently, Zhao Yongxiang, the chairman of the company, personally led a team to the UBlok project base in Perak, Malaysia, with an annual production capacity of 1 million cubic meters. He paid intensive visits to local government departments and intermediary institutions and arranged the key tasks for the next stage, marking the official kick-off of the UBlok Malaysia project which had been postponed due to the pandemic.

"The Malaysia project is an important milestone in UBlok's internationalization drive. This project will incorporate UBlok's latest R&D achievements, factory construction experience and management models in recent years, aiming to build a landmark AAC project in Southeast Asia with the largest production scale, the most comprehensive product range, the highest technological content and the lowest carbon emissions," said Chairman Zhao Yongxiang, full of confidence in the Malaysian market. "The Malaysia project will adopt the AAC+ model. Initially, we plan to seek excellent domestic partners and simultaneously build projects such as steel structures, energy-saving doors and windows, building dry powder, and calcium silicate boards, turning the base in Perak into an industrial park that integrates new technologies of Chinese building materials for housing construction." It is reported that from 2022 to 2024 after the pandemic, Malaysia's GDP grew by 8.7%, 3.7% and 5.1% respectively; the construction industry maintained a compound annual growth rate of over 5%. The UBlok base in Perak covers an area of nearly 200,000 square meters. With abundant resources of quartz sand, cement and lime in the surrounding areas, it is an important building materials production base in Malaysia. UBlok purchased the land in 2018. After completing the land use conversion and various approvals in 2019, it was hit by the sudden three-year pandemic. After re-conducting various investigations of the project last year, the company decided to restart it.
