CBMA is the largest, most powerful research and development center in China's building materials and inorganic non-metallic area.
CBMA consists of more than 3000 scientific researchers. Of them, more than 1200 are senior professionals, including one academician of the China Academy of Engineering. CBMA is among the first group of institutes authorized by the Academic Degree Committee of the State Council to award Master’s degree and Doctorate. Post doctoral station has also been established in the Academy. CBMA has completed more than 3500 national and ministerial level research projects, among which about 1200 provincial & ministerial and higher level awards have been granted by the government including over 150 national prizes, and has formulated and revised more than 1200 national and industrial standards. These achievements have contributed to the development of national economy.
CBMA has been known as “the cradle and birthplace of building materials science and technology of New China”. In recent years, CBMA has gradually formed a development pattern of scientific research and development, science and technology industry, test and certification for the whole. CBMA has undertaken a large number of national significant S&T research programs including those in the 973 Plan, the 863 Plan, and National Key Technology R&D Program. The resulting technologies have been widely used by many national key projects such as the Olympic Project, Shenzhou Project, the Three Gorges Project, etc., highly promoting the technology progress of building materials industry as well as energy-saving and emission reduction. Achievement industrialization has proved highly successful: two listed companies were spun off from CBMA, and many S&T industrial parks were established. CBMA successfully bid to host the ICCC and issued the first national industrial standard. CBMA has become the main subject to undertake national S&T mission in the building material industry, the main power of industry technology innovation and become an important window to show the S&T strength of our country, the industry, and the group (CNBM).

Aramco——Founding Sponsor
Aramco is a global integrated energy and chemicals company. We are driven by our core belief that energy is opportunity. From producing approximately one in every eight barrels of the world’s oil supply to developing new energy technologies, our global team is dedicated to creating impact in all that we do. We focus on making our resources more dependable, more sustainable and more useful. This helps promote stability and long-term growth around the world.
Aramco and the China Building Materials Academy (CBMA) jointly established the Nonmetallic Excellence and Innovation Center for Building Materials (NEXCEL) in Beijing in January 2022 to further advance the use of nonmetallic materials in the building and construction sector. The brand-new NEXCEL leverages CBMA’s expertise and resources to promote the development and application of nonmetallic materials and technologies that offer superior lifecycle cost, efficiency and environmental advantages over their metal alternatives. For more than two decades, Aramco has been leveraging its technology leadership to develop and adopt nonmetallic solutions in its oil and gas operations and is driving the development of a suite of nonmetallic solutions through global collaborations with prominent academic institutions, research and technology organizations, manufacturers, and industry leaders such as the CBMA. NEXCEL promotes the development and application of nonmetallic materials and technologies by exploring opportunities for joint projects in research and development, standards development and adoption, professional development and certifications, advocacy and international outreach. The Center also creates a global collaboration platform to expand and accelerate the use of nonmetallic materials to improve sustainability, contribute to a lower carbon footprint, and enhance the durability and longevity of structures.
