Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – As the Vietnamese cement and concrete industry continues to accelerate driven by large‑scale infrastructure development, urbanisation, and a growing focus on durable and sustainable construction materials, Cement & Concrete Vietnam Expo 2026 successfully concluded on May 28, 2026, in Ho Chi Minh City. SidleyChem, a global supplier of high‑performance concrete admixtures and dry‑mix mortar additives, actively participated in the event at Booth #43, showcasing its full range of core concrete solutions and engaging in in‑depth technical discussions and demand docking with industry professionals from Vietnam and the wider Southeast Asian region. With targeted product strength, professional on‑site service, and a strong understanding of local market needs, SidleyChem achieved outstanding results, laying a solid foundation for further expansion in the Vietnamese and ASEAN concrete admixture markets.

About Cement & Concrete Vietnam Expo 2026

As one of the most influential events dedicated to the cement and concrete industries in Vietnam, the Cement & Concrete Vietnam Expo serves as a key platform connecting global raw material suppliers, admixture manufacturers, ready‑mix producers, precast concrete plants, and infrastructure contractors. The 2026 edition gathered hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of professional visitors from across Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Core themes included “high‑performance concrete for tropical climates,” “durability and crack resistance,” “sustainable cement production,” and “advanced precast technologies.” With Vietnam’s ongoing investments in transportation, energy, housing, and industrial zones, the demand for concrete admixtures that ensure workability under high temperature and high humidity conditions, as well as long‑term durability, has become a critical priority. SidleyChem’s participation precisely addressed these regional challenges and strengthened its professional influence in the Vietnamese concrete sector through comprehensive technical exchanges.

SidleyChem’s Tailored Concrete Solutions for the Vietnamese and Southeast Asian Market

Based on in-depth research into Vietnam’s tropical monsoon climate, construction practices, and local material characteristics, SidleyChem presented a focused product portfolio at Booth #43 designed to meet regional requirements. Key offerings included high-performance polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCE) for hot and humid conditions, shrinkage reducing agents and polypropylene fibers for crack control, cellulose ethers for water retention and workability, as well as set-accelerating/retarding admixtures, water repellent powders, and air entraining agents for enhanced durability and construction efficiency. All products are manufactured to high quality standards and benchmarked against leading international brands, attracting strong interest from local ready-mix producers, precast manufacturers, and major infrastructure contractors.

Exhibition Achievements and Future Outlook

During the two‑day exhibition, SidleyChem’s sales and technical teams worked closely together, providing customised services centred on “solving regional formulation and application challenges.” On‑site technical personnel conducted practical performance demonstrations and shared local case studies, visually proving the adaptability of SidleyChem’s admixtures under Vietnam’s hot and humid climate. Sales staff tailored integrated solutions covering “product selection + formulation optimisation + supply chain support” according to customers’ production equipment and site conditions. The professional responsiveness and strong product performance attracted numerous professional visitors, generating high‑quality leads and establishing a solid basis for long‑term cooperation.

The successful participation at Cement & Concrete Vietnam Expo 2026 marks a significant step forward in SidleyChem’s Southeast Asian market expansion strategy. Going forward, SidleyChem will further strengthen its local technical support and service network in Vietnam, optimise regional logistics and supply chain responsiveness, and continue to increase R&D investment focused on innovative admixtures adapted to tropical climates, green and low‑carbon concrete technologies, and durable infrastructure solutions. SidleyChem is committed to empowering the high‑quality development of Vietnam’s construction industry with professional chemical expertise and working hand in hand with partners across Southeast Asia to build an efficient, durable, and sustainable concrete future.
