Milestones

Our Journey

From our founding to today, SJC has grown from a single business into a diversified industrial group with operations across Southeast Asia. Each milestone reflects our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and creating long-term value for our stakeholders.

1913 — Foundation

SJC was founded by royal decree to set up the country's first cement plant. From day one, our purpose has been to build the foundations of a modern economy with quality materials and forward-looking innovation.

1950s — 1970s — Industrialization

SJC played a central role in the country's industrialization, expanding from cement into building materials, paper, and chemicals. We invested in modern manufacturing technologies and built a network of subsidiaries across the region.

1980s — 1990s — Regional Expansion

SJC expanded operations into neighboring countries, becoming one of the first ASEAN industrial groups with cross-border manufacturing and distribution. We listed on the Stock Exchange and established our flagship businesses in cement, chemicals, and packaging.
