With the Spring Festival just around the corner, our leadership team made a meaningful trip to Lianyuan Iron & Steel (Lian Steel)—not just to exchange season’s greetings, but to lay the groundwork for the year ahead.

The meeting was both strategic and collaborative. Around the table, both sides dove deep into what’s next for hot-dip galvanizing and silicon steel. From R&D directions to shifting market trends, the conversations were focused, forward-looking, and grounded in shared ambition. In an industry where innovation never sleeps, aligning early on technical priorities ensures we’re not just keeping up—but leading.

But the visit wasn’t only about roadmaps and forecasts. It also came with a moment of genuine pride. Lian Steel officially recognized our company as one of its Strategic Customer for 2026, specifically in wear-resistant steel and hot-rolled automotive steel. This isn’t the kind of title you simply receive—it’s one you earn. Being named a Strategic Customer reflects years of consistent collaboration, mutual trust, and a shared commitment to quality. It’s a recognition of how far we’ve come together and a signal of how much more we can achieve.

Timing matters. Holding this meeting just before the Spring Festival feels symbolic—a gesture of shared purpose as we prepare to enter the Year of the Dragon. It’s a moment to reflect on progress, but more importantly, to align on what comes next.

In a time when supply chains are tested and material innovation is more critical than ever, this strengthened partnership with Lian Steel stands out. It’s not just about contracts or accolades. It’s about two companies choosing to grow together—through open dialogue, technical collaboration, and a shared belief that the best way to face the future is side by side.
