YTL Cement at LEAD Road to 70: A Legacy of Innovation and Future Vision
9 December 2024
LEAD 2024 marked a significant milestone for YTL Group, celebrating its road towards their 70th anniversary.
As part of the conference, YTL Cement hosted two insightful sessions.
Laying the Foundations
The morning session, titled "Laying the Foundations," discussed the rich history of YTL Cement. Joshua Yeoh, Director, Business Development was joined by two industry veterans, Joseph Benjamin Seaton, and Tan Check Hong to share their firsthand experiences of the cement industry in the early 80s. Both speakers presented a captivating glimpse into the challenges and triumphs that shaped the group’s journey.
The speakers discussed the group's resilience and innovation, particularly during the turbulent 1997 financial crisis. They highlighted pivotal moments, such as the establishment of the floating cement terminal, which ensured a steady supply of cement during a period of acute shortage. After the success of the floating terminal, YTL Cement harboured the ambition to own its own cement plant and solidify its position as a leading player in the industry. This aspiration, coupled with the group's enduring commitment to shaping Malaysia's skyline, continues to drive its growth and innovation.
