Joining Forces With Major Listed Companies in Taiwan's Stock Market To Create A New Ecosystem For 'materials And Packaging'

In February 2026, Jihong Co., Ltd. formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Jinan Nature New Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Jinan Nature', Taiwan stock listing code: 4763 TT). Both parties decided to establish a long-term strategic partnership, leveraging their strong expertise in filter materials and packaging, to jointly usher in a new era of integrated 'materials and packaging' services.

Strong alliance: the background of the listing of Taiwan stocks to jointly expand the global market

As an industry leader with more than 20 years of deep cultivation in the tobacco industry chain, Jinan Nature was listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 2015 (stock code: 4763 TT), and is the first Taiwan-funded enterprise in Shandong Province to be listed in Taiwan. The company focuses on the research and development and production of core raw materials such as diacetate tow, and its products are exported to more than 60 countries around the world, and it is a long-term core supplier of the world's top tobacco brands.

This hand-in-hand is not only the cooperation between the two companies, but also the deep integration of the "listed capital platform" and the "global production capacity layout". Jihong Co., Ltd. will rely on Jinan Nature's brand influence and customer base in the tobacco industry to accelerate the expansion of the global high-end tobacco packaging market.

Deep collaboration: from "fighting separately" to "joint proposals"

According to the MOU, the cooperation between the two parties will break through the traditional sales relationship and move towards in-depth technical collaboration and market co-development:

1. Joint development and joint proposal: The two parties will set up a joint R&D team to cooperate on "application matching of filter media products and packaging materials". For downstream tobacco customers, the two sides will no longer provide solutions separately, but will jointly participate in product solution design and proposals, and launch an integrated solution of "filter material packaging design" to enhance overall competitiveness.

2. Customer sharing and information exchange: Establish a customer information sharing and communication mechanism on the basis of customers who have intersections between the two parties. Jinan Nature will open its mature customer network to Jihong to help Jihong quickly enter the supply chain of high-end tobacco customers; Jihong uses its global channels to help promote Jinan's natural products in emerging markets such as the Middle East and Africa.

Strategic outlook: from business cooperation to capital marriage

This agreement not only focuses on current business synergy, but also reserves long-term capital cooperation space.

The memorandum clearly states that the two sides agreed to explore the possibility of further deepening cooperation, including but not limited to equity cooperation, capital cooperation, etc., when the business scale and market conditions are mature. This means that the cooperation between Jihong and Jinan Nature has been upgraded from a simple business partner to a potential "business partner", jointly building an industrial ecosystem with stronger risk resistance.

Lu Tashan, secretary of the board of directors of Jihong Co., Ltd., said: "The cooperation with Jinan Nature is another important upgrade of Jihong's strategy of 'teaming up to go to sea'. We are no longer just a supplier, but a 'solution provider' for our customers. In the future, we will rely on Jinan Nature's Taiwan stock listing background and core customer resources, through joint development and joint proposal, to achieve 1 1>2 synergy, and jointly write a new chapter in China's intelligent manufacturing to the world.
