On October 22, Niu Jian, Party Secretary and Chairman of Hangzhou Industrial Group, led a delegation to Huafeng Group to conduct a special research visit. The delegation listened in depth to a report on the company’s business operations and development and discussed plans for the “15th Five-Year Plan” period. Members of Huafeng Group’s leadership team attended the entire meeting.
At the research meeting, Xu Xianjun, Party Secretary, Chairman, and General Manager of Huafeng Group, systematically reported on this year’s operational achievements and key initiatives centered on four core tasks: breaking through market challenges, strengthening the foundation through technology, optimizing investment strategies, and innovating talent mechanisms. He highlighted Huafeng’s proactive efforts in deepening its core businesses and advancing reform and innovation.
Niu Jian fully affirmed Huafeng Group’s current work across all fronts. He noted that by focusing on its core responsibilities and main business, strengthening its leadership team, deepening efforts to increase revenue and reduce costs, and driving innovation to improve quality, all four of Huafeng’s business segments have demonstrated upward momentum, with stable operations, a united workforce, and a positive outlook. In particular, the relocation of the headquarters back to the original Huafeng industrial base not only pays tribute to and carries forward the century-old industrial spirit but also serves as a strategic starting point for the enterprise as it moves toward a new era.
Regarding Huafeng Group’s development in the next phase, Niu Jian emphasized the need to make a final push to ensure a successful conclusion to the 14th Five-Year Plan and to scientifically plan for a strong start to the 15th Five-Year Plan. With the in-depth development of the industrial chain as the main focus, the Group should prioritize advancing three “further” initiatives to comprehensively enhance the core competitiveness of its products and the influence of its corporate brand:
First, further focus on core businesses and build the brand. Leveraging the existing industrial foundation, the Group will deepen its presence in core sectors such as the paper industry, medical devices, and new energy; extend synergy across the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain; drive core businesses to “take shape, gain momentum, and establish a strong presence”; build a highly recognizable “New Huafeng” brand; and achieve a transition from “product-oriented management” to “brand-oriented management.”
Second, we will further refine lean management and strengthen our internal capabilities. Using “end-to-end standardization” as a key driver, we will strictly control every aspect of production, products, and processes, tackle critical technological bottlenecks, and continuously improve yield rates and quality consistency. At the same time, leveraging platforms such as the “Huafeng Knowledge Academy,” we will cultivate a team of versatile professionals and high-caliber executives through cross-functional training and cross-disciplinary development, thereby injecting endogenous momentum into the company’s growth.
Third, we will further drive innovation and look toward the future. Adhering to the strategy of “strengthening our foundation through science and technology,” we will increase R&D investment, focus on green and sustainable development, and accelerate the research, development, and commercialization of technologies such as nanocellulose, bamboo fiber applications, and new paper-based filtration materials. Through innovation, we will empower industrial upgrading and create greater value for society.
This research visit clarified Huafeng Group’s development path and forged a shared consensus on moving forward. Huafeng Group stated that it will thoroughly implement the strategic directives of Hangzhou Industrial Group, use the “Three Further Initiatives” as a guide for action, carry forward its century-old industrial heritage, courageously shoulder the mission of the new era, and strive to write a new chapter in high-quality development.
