China Building Materials Equipment Group
China Building Materials Equipment Group is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinoma International Engineering Co., Ltd., a listed company under China National Building Material Group (CNBM). It was formed through the strategic integration of the equipment businesses of Tianjin Cement Industry Design & Research Institute Co., Ltd. and Hefei Cement Research & Design Institute Co., Ltd. Both institutes have a long history of over 70 years and solid technological strength in the building materials industry.
It has developed complete sets of equipment products and system solutions covering the full scale of 700t/d to 14000t/d for the entire process from mine crushing to cement delivery, and widely serves industries including building materials, mining, metallurgy, and electric power. Its business covers four major sectors: scientific and technological R&D, high-end equipment, engineering design, and customer service.
Adhering to innovation-driven development as the guide and taking high-endization, intelligentization, internationalization, and specialization as the development direction, it focuses on building a high-end equipment platform for China National Building Material Group and strives to become a world-class material equipment group—based on cement, going beyond building materials, rooted in China, and expanding globally.
Svante is a purpose-driven, leading carbon capture and removal solutions provider. The Vancouver, Canada-based company manufactures nanoengineered filters and modular rotary contactor machines that capture and remove CO2 from industrial emissions and the air in an environmentally responsible manner. The filters can be used for post-combustion industrial carbon capture at hard-to-abate industrial facilities including pulp & paper, cement, steel, and oil & gas. The filters can also be used in direct air capture (DAC) applications.
