The GRC/UHPC industry is ushering in a new era! Winning two Qinglong Awards, it leads the way in building materials innovation.

Double Awards! Qinglong GRC/UHPC Shines at Guangzhou Annual Meeting: This is How an Industry Benchmark is Forged.

While its peers were still discussing standards, Qinglong had already won two major innovation awards; as the industry looked back on its forty-year history, Qinglong's chairman had quietly become a "distinguished contributor" to standard setting.

Guangzhou, December 3, 2025. An annual event that will determine the future direction of the GRC/UHPC industry kicked off here. This industry conference, centered on "standard leadership and quality improvement," is not only a showcase of technology but also a touchstone for testing the true strength of companies.

Qinglong, a building materials system solutions provider founded in 1997, had a highlight moment at the conference. Chairman Song of the company was recognized for his outstanding contributions as a drafter of the "Basic Conditions for the Construction of Laboratories in Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement (GRC) Production Enterprises." Simultaneously, Qinglong's participation in the construction of a building project in Singapore and the McWell Electronics Technology Industrial Park project both won the UHPC Building Engineering Innovation Award (Silver) and the GRC Building Engineering Innovation Award (Bronze), respectively.

Under the spotlight at the 2001 annual meeting, Qinglong received numerous awards.

The GRC/UHPC Industry Annual Conference has always been a premier platform for observing industry trends and assessing corporate strength. This year's conference coincides with the 40th anniversary of GRC's development, making it particularly significant. The conference agenda was intensive and substantial: from a heartfelt review of GRC's 40-year development to cutting-edge discussions on new standards, technologies, and materials; from a concentrated showcase of innovation award projects to a grand recognition of participating organizations and individuals in the standard drafting process.

In the highly anticipated awards ceremony, Chairman Song of Qinglong, as one of the core drafters, was recognized for his outstanding contributions to the standardization of GRC production enterprise laboratories. Behind this honor lies Qinglong's long-term commitment to the "standard-led" philosophy. The company is not only a market participant but also a builder of industry rules, having participated in the drafting of national and industry standards multiple times, distilling over two decades of production practice and technological innovation into replicable and scalable industry norms.

The subsequent awards ceremony for the 3rd GRC/UHPC Building Engineering Innovation Awards brought the conference to a climax. Qinglong became one of the few companies to win two awards simultaneously. The GRC application at the McWell Electronics Technology Industrial Park won a bronze award for its exquisite design, superior physical properties, and stable engineering performance; while a building project in Singapore won a silver award for its innovative application of UHPC materials and successful handling of the challenges of large-span thin-walled structures.

02 Unveiling Benchmark Projects: How to Implement Innovation?

The awards were no accident. During the thematic sharing session, Mr. Liu, General Manager of Qinglong GRC Business Unit, took the stage to provide an in-depth analysis of the "making process" of the two award-winning projects to the audience.

A building project in Singapore showcased Qinglong's technological prowess in the field of UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete). To resolve the conflict between large-span spaces and visual transparency, the project extensively utilized prefabricated UHPC components. The UHPC materials provided by Qinglong boast a compressive strength exceeding 150 MPa, excellent durability, and enabled the creation of thin-walled and lightweight components. Mr. Liu specifically mentioned that the key to the project's success lay in the seamless collaboration between material research and development, structural calculations, and construction techniques—Qinglong's core advantage as a "system solution provider."

The McWell Electronics Technology Industrial Park project is a prime example of Qinglong's GRC system solution capabilities. The project utilizes complex hyperbolic irregular-shaped GRC curtain wall panels, placing extremely high demands on material production precision and installation processes. Leveraging its standardized GRC production workshop and mature detailed design team, Qinglong meticulously controlled the curves, thicknesses, and embedded component positions of each panel from the initial digital modeling stage, ensuring a seamless and smooth-lined final building facade. General Manager Liu shared, "This is not just an exterior wall project, but a masterpiece that perfectly combines architectural aesthetics with industrialized production."

03. Backed by solid core strengths: The "Azure Dragon System" behind the applause

The shining moments on stage stem from two decades of solid accumulation off stage. Qinglong's repeated successes in the GRC/UHPC field are inseparable from its comprehensive "hardcore strength system".

Production capacity is fundamental. Qinglong has three major production bases in Zhongshan, Guangdong; Nanning, Guangxi; and Jiangmen, Guangdong, with standard GRC/GRG production lines capable of producing 600,000 square meters of GRC/GRG annually. Large-scale, standardized production is a prerequisite for ensuring on-time delivery and stable quality of large-scale projects. The company's rigorous quality control system has passed international certifications such as ISO9001, ensuring that every component leaving the factory meets design standards.

Technology is the engine. Qinglong regards technological research and development as its lifeline, possessing over 50 national patents. The company not only collaborates with several universities, including Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology and Guangxi University, to establish industry-university-research bases, but also cultivates a research team capable of standing at the forefront of the industry. This focus on technology enables it to maintain its competitiveness in GRC/UHPC formula optimization, performance improvement, and construction method innovation.

Qualifications and services are the guarantee. As a leading brand in the GRC industry, Qinglong possesses a full set of qualifications, including a Class B Special Qualification for Architectural Decoration Engineering Design and a Class II Professional Contracting Qualification for Building Curtain Wall Engineering. This allows them to provide clients with one-stop services from design and production to installation. This turnkey project capability enables them to handle complex projects with ease, such as the Zhuhai Guangdong-Macao Cooperation Traditional Chinese Medicine Science and Technology Industrial Park and the Hainan International Convention and Exhibition Center.

04 Beyond GRC: An Ecosystem Vision from a System Solution Provider

While the focus of the annual meeting was GRC/UHPC, Qinglong's ambitions extend far beyond that. The company's positioning has always been that of a "provider of R&D, production, sales, and integrated system solutions for engineering waterproofing, home waterproofing, GRC/GRG/GRP, insulation, and reinforcement products."

This means that Qinglong can serve construction projects from a more holistic perspective. For example, while providing the exquisite decorative exterior of GRC, its robust waterproofing systems (such as PCM polymer waterproof membrane and CQ101 waterproof sealant) provide reliable "internal protection" for buildings; its reinforcement materials safeguard structural safety. This synergy across multiple product lines constitutes Qinglong's unique comprehensive competitive advantage.

Furthermore, Qinglong's "Leak-Proof" service platform and Qinglong Waterproofing Training Academy, designed for the future of the industry, demonstrate its vision for building an industrial ecosystem. The platform transforms traditional service processes through standardization and digitalization; the academy continuously supplies the industry with professionals skilled in new materials and technologies. This "product + service + empowerment" ecosystem model is reshaping Qinglong's relationship with its customers and partners.

During the conference, delegates visited several typical GRC/UHPC projects, including the permanent site of the International Finance Forum (IFF) and the HSBC Global Training Centre. These magnificent and exquisite buildings silently demonstrate how material innovation shapes the modern urban landscape.

Looking at these landmarks, I deeply feel that competition in the GRC/UHPC industry is no longer a contest of single products, but a competition of comprehensive corporate capabilities. It tests the strength of the entire chain, from laboratory standards to production line quality control, from detailed design to on-site installation, and from material innovation to ecosystem building.

Qinglong's performance at this year's annual meeting perfectly demonstrates this point. From the chairman's involvement in setting standards to the project winning an innovation award, and then to the general manager sharing practical experience—this clear logical chain outlines the profile of an industry-leading company: it is a contributor to rules, a practitioner of innovation, and a sharer of value.

As the industry stands at its fortieth anniversary and looks to the future, "standard leadership and quality improvement" should not only be the theme of the annual meeting, but also a guide for action for all enterprises. Companies like Qinglong, which transform innovation into standards, standards into quality, and quality into reputation, will undoubtedly lead the next stage of development in the wave of high-quality development in the construction industry.

For each of us who are industry observers or participants, perhaps we should also consider: Are we chasing fleeting trends, or are we building the ability to weather economic cycles? Applause will eventually subside, and trophies will eventually gather dust, but the standards that drive industry progress, the innovations that solve real-world problems, and the value created for users will be truly remembered.
