In addition, its board of directors appointed Mr. Shehui Shi to serve as its Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Lei Shi to serve as its President and Mr. Qingyan Wang as its Chief Financial Officer.
Shehui Cement was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China on January 17, 2001 and is principally engaged in the manufacture and supply of cement, clinker and slag powder, with a dominant market presence in Shaanxi Province, China. The company’s cement is sold under the trademark “Shehui” and is primarily used in the construction of infrastructure projects such as highways, bridges, railways and roads, as well as residential buildings.

We have reached a major goal with having our Company’s shares quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board in the United States which will allow us to broaden our investor base, create a liquid market for our stock, and financially support the accelerated growth of our business as we strive to become a leader in the cement industry in China.”
