In January 2017, I attended the 2016 Supplier Conference hosted by Songzhi Co., Ltd. and was honored with the title of "Outstanding Supplier." This recognition reflects the long-standing appreciation for our company's product quality—and serves as a powerful encouragement to keep striving forward together, working hand in hand to drive technological innovation to even greater heights.

After five years of relentless effort, Mint Company has finally emerged from its challenging situation, shedding the weight of adversity and reclaiming its position in the market. Today, we’ve secured a commanding presence—capturing nearly half of the domestic market for自主品牌 vehicles—by forging strategic partnerships with leading automakers such as SAIC-GM-Wuling, BAIC, and Changan. To further bolster our innovation capabilities, the company established a dedicated R&D center in 2009, which was subsequently recognized as a provincial “Enterprise Technology Center.” In 2015, we were honored once again as a “Provincial-Level Science and Technology SME,” underscoring our commitment to cutting-edge research and development. The R&D center is home to two powerhouse departments: - **Technology Division One**, focused primarily on designing and manufacturing equipment tailored to support production and product integration; - **Technology Division Two**, which spearheads the development of groundbreaking new products. Guided by the principle of integrating infrastructure development with talent cultivation, we’re intensifying efforts to nurture top-tier scientific and technological innovators and their respective teams. At the same time, we remain steadfast in balancing strategic planning with robust management practices, ensuring that our R&D operations evolve into a well-organized, scientifically sound, and highly efficient hub.By fostering institutional innovation that drives technological advancement, we’re empowering the R&D center to strengthen its core capabilities in original innovation, technology transfer, and service-oriented innovation. This, in turn, lays a solid foundation for our ambitious goal of becoming a nationally recognized high-tech enterprise. Ultimately, our vision is to position the R&D center as a premier institution—not only enhancing Jiangsu Province’s expertise in automotive air conditioning thermal expansion valves but also establishing it as a vital hub for pioneering industry-leading technologies, securing critical intellectual property rights, and nurturing a new generation of automotive HVAC professionals. Through these initiatives, we aim to place ourselves at the forefront of China’s automotive air conditioning thermal expansion valve industry, while simultaneously striving to surpass international benchmarks in select areas, setting a benchmark for innovation and excellence in this dynamic field.

II. Establish a dedicated window, creating two major divisions: Technology and Market
Leveraging Shanghai's strategic location, we have excelled in both marketing and technology. Capitalizing on Zhejiang's vast population and extensive territory, we established an expansion valve manufacturing base in Shengzhou, Zhejiang. Meanwhile, to tap into Shanghai's robust market presence and cutting-edge technological expertise, we set up a dedicated marketing hub there. In December 2006, we inaugurated a Shanghai-based subsidiary, taking the lead in driving market development. Over the past decade of challenges and growth, Shanghai Mint Company has steadily accumulated invaluable marketing experience, successfully forging partnerships with renowned automotive manufacturers such as Songzhi and Air Conditioning International.
3. Focus on practical action, striving for excellence and specialization.
Facing the new temptations of the market economy, General Manager Wu remains steadfast in his chosen path of development. He says: "We must focus exclusively on expansion valves—perfecting and specializing in this single product."
Let's strive to build a world-class enterprise. A truly first-rate company serves as the industry benchmark—only by excelling in specialization, demonstrating forward-thinking insights, and maintaining sharp market awareness can it truly lead the way in driving industry growth. As tangible business leaders, our path to securing market share lies in mastering excellence and niche expertise. In January, we had the honor of attending the 2016 Supplier Conference hosted by Songzhi Co., Ltd., where we were recognized as an "Outstanding Supplier." This prestigious award reflects the longstanding recognition of our company’s commitment to delivering top-quality products—and it also serves as a powerful reminder that we must continue pushing forward with determination, working hand-in-hand to elevate innovation and propel technological advancement to even greater heights.
The company is committed to delivering customers the most cutting-edge product designs, the highest product reliability, and the most dependable service—while continuously pioneering and innovating in our pursuit of becoming a leading automotive air-conditioning enterprise.
