Hydroblok announces joint venture with rojana group to propel global expansion

HydroBlok, a global leader in foam-based building panels and waterproofing systems, has entered a landmark joint venture with Thailand’s prestigious Rojana Group — a move set to expand HydroBlok’s global footprint and manufacturing capabilities. This collaboration brings together world-class innovation, infrastructure, and sustainability to meet rising global demand for efficient, eco-friendly construction materials.

A Powerful Alliance Between Two Industry Leaders

HydroBlok’s Vision for Global Expansion

Based in Bangkok, Thailand, HydroBlok has built a reputation for innovative waterproofing and installation solutions. Through this joint venture, the company aims to strengthen its position as a global leader in advanced building systems and open new markets across Asia and beyond.

About the Rojana Group

Rojana Group is a renowned industrial powerhouse and Thailand’s largest industrial park developer. Its diverse business portfolio spans:

  • Electrical power stations and grids

  • Real estate and infrastructure

  • Building material retail chains

  • Pharmaceutical factories

The company’s industrial parks house factories that collectively contribute nearly 70% of Thailand’s GDP, underscoring its influence on the national economy.

Historical Milestones and Strategic Partnerships

A Legacy of International Collaboration

Rojana Group holds a historic legacy as Thailand’s representative in signing the first major cooperation deal with China in recent history. The agreement was signed by former chairman Mr. Direk Vinichbutr and Mr. Long Yong Tu, China’s former Minister of Commerce responsible for China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) — a landmark event witnessed by both nations’ prime ministers.

Partnership with Nippon Steel

Through this joint venture, HydroBlok will also gain access to the Japanese market with the support of Nippon Steel, Japan’s largest steelmaker and the world’s third-largest steel producer. Nippon Steel is Rojana Group’s second-largest shareholder, further reinforcing the venture’s strategic foundation.

Global Industry Context

Recently, United States Steel agreed to be acquired by Nippon Steel in a $14.1 billion deal — a transformative move that positions the Japanese corporation as a major player in U.S. steelmaking, underscoring its global influence.

Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability

Integrating Technology and Eco-Friendly Practices

Both HydroBlok and Rojana Group share a strong commitment to sustainable innovation. The joint venture emphasizes:

  • Eco-friendly product development

  • Continuous technological improvement

This shared vision aims to drive a more sustainable future for the global construction and building materials industry.

Future Expansion and Facility Development

1,000,000 Sq Ft Modern Manufacturing Facility

The joint venture’s next major milestone will be the construction of a state-of-the-art 1,000,000 sq ft facility within one of Rojana’s industrial parks. This facility will:

  • Increase global production capacity

  • Strengthen HydroBlok’s supply chain resilience

  • Support growing demand for waterproofing and energy-efficient materials

Once completed, the facility will significantly enhance HydroBlok’s position as a secure and scalable global manufacturer.
