the
Xiamen, located on the southeast coast of my country, as a beautiful seaside city, not only has unique geographical advantages, numerous ports, and convenient shipping, but also is a special economic zone in my country. The good natural and economic environment has created this hot spot for investment and entrepreneurship . Xiamen Kaiping Chemical Co., Ltd. is based in Xiamen, from establishment to stability, from development to growth, from a foothold in China to radiating to Asia. The company, which was founded in 1997, is ushering in the fourth five-year development stage. Mr. Chen Kaiping, the founder and chairman of the company, told the reporter of Tiantian Chemical Network about Kaiping’s future planning and layout in detail.
Xiamen Kaiping has been in business for 15 years. As the Chinese general agent of Spain’s Panxi P.C., it is mainly engaged in mold release agents and silicone oil products. When the company entered the fourth five-year development stage, Mr. Chen introduced Kaiping’s plan in terms of investment, factory construction and regional layout.

Joint venture factory: speed up product circulation and improve product quality
The joint venture factory project between Kaiping and Peixi Company has started. “We have purchased 50 acres of industrial land in Zhangzhou, and the company registration has been completed in the early stage.” Mr. Chen introduced, “The joint venture factory is mainly for the company’s operation in the Asia-Pacific region. For Chinese customers, the product quality will be improved, and the cost has declined, which helps to enhance the company’s competitiveness and advantages.”
Mr. Chen revealed that Kaiping will take over Panxi’s agency in the Japanese market next year, “Our joint venture factory will not only serve the regions or countries we represent, but also involve Panxi in Malaysia, India, Iran, and South Korea. The sales of these companies are because the goods sent from the joint venture factory take a long time to ship than from Spain to the Asia-Pacific region, which is also the company’s later operating framework in terms of export. ”
The joint venture factory will radiate to the entire Asia-Pacific region, thereby speeding up product circulation and improving product quality. In terms of product research and development, the joint venture factory will also give full play to its role. “Pacey has a strong R&D team. In the early stage, we will focus on introducing foreign related technologies. In addition, we will also introduce domestic related technologies, and carry out product development and production through technology grafting between China and foreign countries. Later, we will also Invest in research and development.” Mr. Chen said.
According to the schedule, the joint venture factory will conduct planning and evaluation in the fourth quarter of this year, civil engineering will be carried out around the Spring Festival next year, and it will be officially put into operation before October next year. It is expected that the annual output of mold release agent will be 5,000 tons, and that of silicone oil will be about 5,000 tons.
the
Auto Industry: Steady Growth, Continuing Focus
Kaiping’s products are divided into two aspects: terminal sales and distributor sales. The products sold by the company are mainly concentrated in the automotive industry. Speaking of the automobile industry, Mr. Chen said: “The automobile industry increased production at a relatively fast rate from 2009 to 2010, but it declined last year. The overall situation this year is not very optimistic. But we believe that compared with other industries, the automobile industry is still in the Stable. From the perspective of my country’s automobile development in recent years, although the current growth rate has declined at the same rate, it is still growing steadily. We have always attached great importance to the automobile industry, and this will be our continued focus.” In addition In addition, Kaiping’s foam stabilizer products will be expanded to soft foam and hard foam, and will involve the furniture and refrigerator industries. “This is also an industry we will expand in the future.”
the
Layout planning: Based on the whole country, multi-dimensional development
Since its establishment 15 years ago, Mr. Chen divided each five-year period into a stage. The development focus of each stage is summarized as “product expansion”, “channel expansion” and “team expansion”. Mr. Chen told the reporter that the overall operation of the company this year is good. “Although affected by the economic downturn, the overall sales did not reach the company’s expected target, but it is still higher than last year. We have achieved remarkable results in the development of new products and major customers. .”
In the future, the company will have a more ambitious goal—to be listed on the small and medium-sized board. In order to achieve this goal, Mr. Chen carefully prepared and strategized the company’s national network layout. “The company’s headquarters in Xiamen will serve as an investor and marketing network layout and Background management; the Zhangzhou factory is dedicated to the production of release agents, silicone oil, polyurethane products and raw materials; it is expected that the import and export company registered in Hong Kong this year will be responsible for information integration; and the Shanghai business center planned in the future will be responsible for industry communication and information processing And marketing layout.” Through the close integration of Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, as well as the existing offices in South China, North China, East China, and Southwest China, we jointly create a long-term development goal for the company to go public.

Enterprise Management: Human Culture Management
Mr. Chen, who has a technical background and is proficient in professionalism, has a rigorous and traditional side, but also a relaxed and open side. In terms of enterprise management, he pursues “management of human culture” – a degree of relaxation and a combination of tension and tension. The establishment of a standardized process system is unambiguous, and the company has passed the ISO9001 quality management system and ISO14000 environmental management system. In terms of working environment and corporate culture, we strive to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. “Our team is relatively young, and the company will regularly organize relevant training and activities to expand and improve the capabilities of employees. There are also various entertainment and sports classes. The activities and the company’s annual meeting have made our team closer.”
the
Entrepreneurial motto: The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold
In Mr. Chen’s office, a picture of plum blossoms and a sword express his entrepreneurial motto: “The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.” As an entrepreneur, the company will inevitably face many difficulties in the early stages of establishment , but recalling this experience, Mr. Chen took it lightly: “My principle is not to give up, to persevere to the end, and to seek breakthroughs.”
Mr. Chen is undoubtedly successful in transitioning from technology to management. Throughout the development history of Xiamen Kaiping, it is not difficult to find that the company has always followed a steady development track and moved towards the future step by step. I believe that in the not-too-distant future, with Xiamen Kaiping’s comprehensive attack in production, research and development, sales, and marketing, the company’s tomorrow will be like a proud wintersweet, blooming in the cold winter.
