SCG, ASEAN’s leading cement manufacturer, today co-hosts INTERCEM Asia 2025, an event of the world’s leading cement industry conference and exhibition series. Running from 6 to 8 May 2025 in Bangkok, the conference brings together key cement industry stakeholders from around the globe. As co-host, SCG is set to drive the industry’s low-carbon cement innovation and demonstrate its vision and capability as a regional leader in innovative building materials and sustainable solutions, while highlighting Thailand’s strategic position in Asia’s cement industry.

As part of INTERCEM series of the world’s premier events for cement industry professionals, INTERCEM Asia 2025 provides participants with deep insights into global cement industry trends and directions, including emerging innovations, technologies, and new approaches for the industry’s transformation. With Thailand as the host country this year, the conference puts Thailand’s cement industry in the spotlight and marks a significant milestone in SCG’s “Inclusive Green Growth” mission, presenting its strategic perspectives on the industry’s transition towards sustainable business models and low-carbon cement innovation in response to increasingly stringent global environmental regulations.

INTERCEM Asia 2025 is the platform for global cement industry to discuss its urgent need to transform. The cement industry currently accounts for 7-8% of global CO2 emissions. Manufacturers worldwide face mounting pressure to address environmental challenges, particularly with new regulatory measures such as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and Carbon Tax. These regulations will significantly impact competitiveness and production costs for cement manufacturers in Thailand and ASEAN, as well as their global export opportunities.

Amid these challenges, SCG has consistently invested in low-carbon cement innovation, establishing itself as a regional leader through strategic preparation in research and development, production technology, and marketing opportunities. At INTERCEM Asia 2025, SCG will showcase its groundbreaking first-to-market innovations :

Thailand’s pioneering low-carbon cement, developed through SCG’s proprietary knowledge, reduces CO₂ emissions by 38% compared to conventional products while maintaining superior strength and versatility. The company aims to achieve 50% reduction in the near future, setting new standards for the ASEAN cement industry.
