Samsung E&A, a division of Samsung, has teamed up with CPAC, a leading company in the Siam Cement Group, to transform the construction industry. This strategic partnership aims to bring about significant changes in the sector. The two industry leaders have agreed to partner on the commercialization of Samsung E&A’s new cement-based material for 3D printing.
This partnership isn’t just about business—it represents a significant step towards global industrial digitization, especially between Southeast Asia and the Gulf Region. The collaboration follows SCG’s earlier agreement with Danish 3D printing OEM, COBOD, and signals a continued push towards integrating cutting-edge technology with traditional construction practices. This partnership led to SCG completing the world’s first 3D-printed medical center in Thailand, underscoring the transformative potential of AC in the construction sector.
The initial phase of this ambitious venture will see the deployment of 350 tons of Samsung’s proprietary material in a large-scale build in Saudi Arabia. CPAC, with its extensive expertise, will provide consulting services and possibly even COBOD equipment, reinforcing the collaborative spirit of this enterprise. The project’s specifics remain under wraps, but Samsung E&A‘s history in industrial infrastructure, especially within the energy sector, hints at a significant development in the region.
This MoU also reflects a broader trend of cooperation between Southeast Asia and the Gulf Region, particularly in the pursuit of digitization and advanced manufacturing techniques. With Southeast Asia’s rise as a manufacturing powerhouse over the past fifty years, this new phase of international collaboration could further strengthen the region’s influence in the global market.
As these major players continue to push boundaries, the world will be watching to see if this partnership sets the stage for more cross-regional collaborations, driving the future of construction and industrial development across Asia and beyond.
