Optimix’s Zhuhai Green and Smart Production Base has recently been officially recognised as a 2026 “Green Factory” by the Zhuhai Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology. Among the many enterprises across the city, only 18 were selected for this honour. This recognition affirms the Base’s sustained commitment to green manufacturing, energy conservation, emissions reduction and smart production, while marking another important milestone in the Company’s sustainability journey.

The “Green Factory” designation is an important benchmark for the green transformation of the manufacturing sector. The assessment covers five key areas: intensive land use, harmless raw materials, clean production, resource utilisation of waste, and low-carbon energy consumption. With its well-established green management system, strong energy-saving and emissions-reduction performance, and high standards of operational capability, Optimix’s Zhuhai Production Base successfully passed the quantitative assessment, demonstrating its robust overall strengths.

Integrating Green Building with Smart Production

As the Company’s new-generation Industry 4.0 smart factory, the Zhuhai Base incorporated the principles of green building and smart production from the outset of its design. It has also obtained LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Approximately 17% of the site has been reserved for green space, reflecting the Base’s commitment to achieving an optimal balance between its substantial annual production capacity of 300,000 tonnes and environmental conservation.

In terms of production processes, the Base’s laboratory has also received the industry-recognised certification as a “Standardised Laboratory for Ready-Mixed Mortar”. The facility has introduced automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and a warehouse management system (WMS). Together with fully automated production lines and computer-controlled precision batching, these systems have significantly enhanced delivery efficiency and product quality consistency, while effectively reducing energy consumption during production.

Clean Energy Driving Low-Carbon Operations

To further advance low-carbon operations, the Base has installed a 600 kW distributed photovoltaic power generation system on its rooftop, fully incorporating renewable energy into its daily production activities and enabling surplus electricity to be fed back into the grid. The system is capable of generating approximately 580,000 kWh of clean electricity each year—equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of around 293 households—and reducing carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by approximately 585 tonnes annually. Supported by an advanced energy management system (EMS), the facility can monitor and optimise the use of water, electricity and gas in real time, ensuring maximum energy efficiency.

Continuous R&D to Reduce Embodied Carbon in Buildings

With more than 20 years of experience in dry-mix mortar research, development and production, Optimix fully recognises the importance of carbon reduction at source for the construction industry. Leveraging the expertise of its materials specialists at the Zhuhai R&D Centre, the Company continues to upgrade its tile adhesive, waterproofing mortar, self-levelling compound and other product ranges, with a focus on reducing the embodied carbon of building materials. At present, a number of Optimix products have received leading environmental certifications in both Hong Kong and Mainland China, providing efficient and eco-friendly material solutions for a wide range of construction projects.

The recognition as a Zhuhai Municipal Green Factory is a strong endorsement of Optimix’s commitment to ESG principles. Looking ahead, the Company will take this achievement as a new starting point to further deepen green manufacturing and contribute to the green transformation of the construction industry across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
