Thai Cement Manufacturers Association

What Thai Cement Manufacturers Association does

Thai Cement Manufacturers Association (TCMA) is a Bangkok-based, non-profit trade association established on May 8, 2006 under the Thai Commercial Associations Act, serving as the central coordinating body for Thailand's leading cement producers, including SCG Cement Building Materials, Siam City Cement, Asia Cement, Jalaprathan Cement, TPI Polene, and Thai Pride Cement, whose combined capacity is 50.3 million tons of clinker and 60.1 million tons of cement. The association operates an 11-50 person office at the Yada Building on Silom Road and generates revenue exclusively through recurring membership dues; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

TCMA's core mandate is sustainable development, decarbonization, and international cooperation for Thailand's cement industry, with a stated Net Zero by 2050 target. Its technology focus centers on Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) — including a pilot Mobile Carbon Capture Unit (MCCU) being deployed at Saraburi cement plants by mid-2026 — alongside co-processing technology (combustion of waste in cement kilns per circular economy principles) and waste heat recovery. The association coordinates the Saraburi Cement Partnership Project for community engagement and runs scholarship programs with DPIM under the Ministry of Industry.

The go-to-market is institutional and relationship-driven: industry events (GCCA CEO Gathering 2024, AFCM 44th Council Meeting), international partnerships (GCCA member since January 2022, AFCM since 1977, ACPAC, Chulalongkorn University, University of Regina/CETRI, UNIDO, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Government of Saskatchewan), and direct government engagement with the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and Ministry of Agriculture. TCMA secured CAD 8 million in green innovation funding at the GCCA 2024 conference and operates the Saraburi Sandbox as a pilot testbed for low-carbon cement technologies. The association does not sell commercial products or SaaS services; rather, it facilitates knowledge transfer, technology piloting, policy advocacy, and community programs on behalf of its member manufacturers.
