The complete product structure is also conducive to attracting new customers for purchasing.

    4. Producing various products from the same starting material, with obvious cost advantages

      Different from other enterprises in the industry that use purchased intermediate chemicals as raw materials for production, the Company has realized the integration of production with its sound product chain. The production starts from the basic raw materials at the source to effectively reduce the production costs, avoid the joint and several effects of purchased intermediate products due to market supply shortage or price fluctuation, further guaranteeing the stable product quality. Meanwhile, the integration of production brings about more complementary products. Therefore, the Company can flexibly adjust the product structure according to the market demand, so as to avoid risks and maximize its interests. With a rich product structure and proprietary cogeneration technology and equipment, the Company has realized the production model of "producing various products from the same starting material", which can comprehensively utilize the by-products generated in the production process to produce other products with higher economic value, thereby reducing the overall production costs.

    5. Accumulating long-term and stable industry-leading partners

      By means of strong technology, production strength and customized service capabilities, the Company has been recognized by many well-known enterprises at home and abroad, and currently has established stable cooperation with internationally

      renowned chemical enterprises such as Merck, BASF, Bayer, Sumitomo, Merck Sharp & Dohme and Syngenta, as well as a number of domestic well-known enterprises such as CATL and BYD. The Company has earned the trust of partners with outstanding product quality, good delivery records and strong technical strength. Moreover, it has successfully passed the audit verification conducted by partners with its stringent environmental protection, safety and quality assurance system, thus ensuring the stable cooperation and enhancing the trust of customers.

    6. Having the ability to flexibly respond to different market demands with multiple production bases nationwide

    The Company has established multiple production bases in Zhejiang, Inner Mongolia, Fujian, Guangdong, and other regions to support the growth of the Company's core business in the future. In reliance on the sound industrial chain and product reserves, the Company can flexibly respond to different market demands through scientific and reasonable allocation of production capacity and synergistic operation of multiple production bases.
