Shun Shing Building Materials Ltd. (SSBML) was established in 2007 as a subsidiary of Shun Shing Group at the time its capacity was 50,000 pieces per year. SSBML produces concrete or “grey,” blocks using a semi-automatic process. These blocks are a great alternative to using traditional mud bricks, mud bricks pollute the air by using high-sulphur coal during its manufacturing process whereas no harmful emissions is produced during the manufacturing of concrete blocks. 

In early 2015, SSBML installed a new automated concrete block production line, this ramped up the plant’s capacity to 3.5 million pieces per year in order to meet growing demand for concrete blocks in Bangladesh. Providing a sensible alternative to many other building materials, these blocks can be used in industrial, commercial, institutional and residential applications.
