UBlok Advanced Materials Co., Ltd.

In 2003, Mr. John Zhao, the Chairman of the company, founded the first aerated concrete plant – Shandong Yasheng New Building Materials Co., Ltd., (Predecessor of UBlok) in Shandong Province. Since then, Mr. Zhao Yongxiang and UBlok have embarked on a development journey of over 20 years in the autoclaved aerated concrete industry.

Until now, UBlok owns 10 domestic production bases across China, equipped with 15 production lines for AAC panels and blocks and 2 lines for sand-lime bricks. The Group also boasts a complete AAC industrial supply chain, including an affiliated lime enterprise with 5 vertical lime kilns and an annual lime output of 300,000 tons, an aluminium paste manufacturer with an annual output of 10,000 tons, an engineering firm delivering turnkey solutions for AAC plant construction and renovation, and a dry-mix mortar production line with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons supplying auxiliary raw materials for AAC products.

Driven by its internationalization strategy, UBlok is pressing ahead with the construction of overseas plants: 1 million m³ annual capacity in Malaysia, 500,000 m³ in Georgia and 400,000 m³ in Serbia, bringing total overseas under-construction capacity to 1.9 million m³.

Via technical, managerial and brand licensing output, UBlok provides entrusted operation management for two AAC plants in Xi’an, China and the Philippines, with a combined annual capacity of 800,000 m³.

The company runs three municipal-level technical centers and holds 190 patents and copyrights, including 45 invention patents.

In 2023, UBlok set the 10-year development goals of low-carbon transition, intelligent manufacturing and global expansion, investing heavily every year in R&D and upgrading for intelligence and low-carbon transformation. Annually, the enterprise recycles over 2 million tons of diverse industrial solid waste such as fly ash, furnace slag, desulfurized gypsum, mineral tailings, carbide slag and construction waste. By 2025, UBlok had cumulatively manufactured 55.8 million m³ of AAC products and recycled more than 18 million tons of solid waste in total.

Adhering to the strategic vision of “Integrate Resources, Forge Ahead with Lean Management”, UBlok strives to build a global development platform for the AAC sector as well as an ideal platform for talents to realize personal value and fulfill career aspirations.
