NMB and CIMA Formalise Strategic Partnership to Develop Malaysia’s First Low-carbon, Graphene-enhanced Concrete

KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Bernama) -- NMB (NanoMalaysia Berhad), a CLBG under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), and Cement Industries of Malaysia Berhad (CIMA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UEM Group Berhad, today announced the signing of a strategic partnership to drive the development of Graphene Enhanced Concrete – a groundbreaking sustainable building material locking in solid carbon derived from greenhouse gas atmospheric emission, aimed at transforming Malaysia’s construction industry by addressing critical environmental and performance challenges.

This partnership aims to pioneer the integration of nanotechnology into the construction industry, focusing on delivering concrete solutions that not only meet but exceed all key technical performance criteria. By advancing innovation in materials science, it is foreseen that the development of a new generation of green and sustainable concrete will be designed to support long-term environmental goals while elevating industry standards.
