Good News Update 2

Awarded as a Benchmark Enterprise for Management Excellence in Huzhou City

These two consecutive honors represent both a milestone and a profound responsibility. Jiangxin Technology will remain steadfast in its innovation-driven strategy, deeply committing to technical R&D, continually optimizing our management systems, and elevating service quality to advance further along the path of specialized excellence. Meanwhile, we will actively leverage our leading position as a “Little Giant” enterprise to set benchmarks, contributing even greater strength to the high-quality development and industrial transformation of the global hydraulic cylinder niche market.

Mr. Jiang Xianjiang, General Manager of the company, delivered an opening speech for the kickoff meeting. Mr. Jiang pointed out the shortcomings in July’s operations and urged all employees to confront challenges head-on and take proactive initiatives. Meanwhile, he highly commended the results of the team’s self-inspection, encouraging everyone to further consolidate these achievements and sustain the momentum. He emphasized three core principles:

1. Conduct Regular Retrospectives (“Looking Back”): As the proverb goes, “A wisdom is gained from every experience.” By consistently reviewing our past work, we can identify gaps, address deficiencies, and bridge the distance to excellence. This practice effectively prevents us from repeating past mistakes and taking inefficient detours.

2. Foster a Unified Team Vision (“One Chessboard”): Within a team, every single contribution is indispensable. Individual effort is mere addition, but teamwork creates a multiplication effect. The monthly team rankings are a reflection of our collective honor. In our daily operations, we must strengthen communication, facilitate alignment, and provide mutual support.

3. Cultivate a Culture of Healthy Competition (“Benchmarking & Outperforming”): We must utilize emulation campaigns as a vehicle to promote learning through competition and establish a strong sense of competitive awareness. “Modesty” has no place on the commercial battlefield. We must excel at identifying gaps through competition, bridging our shortfalls through learning, achieving tangible results through catching up, and defending our collective honor by outperforming expectations.

Following the address, Ms. Gan Yueyuan, Manager of the HR Department, led the team to review July’s performance and align focus for August. During the meeting, special surprises and recognitions were presented to 12 outstanding employees. The company expressed deep gratitude to these individuals for their dedication, meticulous craftsmanship, and selfless contributions across their respective positions.
