Review of 2025: Innovation-Driven, Continuous Exploration

1. Increasing Investment in Packaging Design R&D to Strengthen Core Competitiveness

Yutong Technology has maintained stable cooperation with leading companies across global industries for many years, with a highly valuable customer base. This can be traced back to the company's strong emphasis on packaging design and research and development, as well as consistent investment over the years.

Design and R&D are the core driving forces behind Yutong Technology's leading position in the industry. In 2025, Yutong Technology's investment and exploration in this field reached new heights, not only reflected in increased funding but also in a comprehensive upgrade from strategy and philosophy to practical implementation.

Yutong Technology consistently places independent innovation and R&D investment at the core strategic level, maintaining a high level of R&D intensity in the industry to provide solid support for innovative activities. Moreover, Yutong Technology boasts one of the first design teams in the industry recognized as a "National Industrial Design Center" and has established platforms such as the Yutong Research Institute, Academician Workstations, and Postdoctoral Research Stations, forming a multi-level innovation network covering cutting-edge technology research, application development, and creative design implementation.

In 2025, Yutong Technology's achievements in packaging design R&D were mainly reflected in two areas: green initiatives and smart technologies.

First, the green wave continues, emphasizing environmental protection and sustainable design. In response to the growing global environmental pressures and the rising trend of green consumption, Yutong Technology in 2025 deeply integrated the concept of sustainable development into all aspects of product design and actively promoted a circular economy layout, enhancing the environmental attributes of products throughout the entire process, including product design, raw material procurement, manufacturing, and waste recycling.

The year 2025 marked a concentrated display of Yutong Technology's commercialization achievements in eco-friendly materials. The company successfully developed and promoted a variety of innovative eco-friendly materials and products, including plant fiber eco-packaging, eco-friendly pet products, plant-based eco-inks, plant fiber dry cushioning materials, and eco-friendly functional coatings. In the Sustainable Development Report released in April 2025, Yutong Technology clearly stated that it will continue to increase its investment in the circular economy field, reflecting its firm determination to keep exploring in this area.

Second, exploration and application of intelligent and functional packaging. Against the backdrop of the Internet of Everything, packaging serves as an important medium for brands to interact with consumers and extend product functionality. In 2025, Yutong Technology significantly accelerated the research, development, and commercialization of smart packaging and functional packaging.

In the field of intelligent and functional packaging, targeting markets with special preservation needs such as fresh food, Yutong Technology successfully developed packaging with preservation functions; to meet the anti-counterfeiting requirements of high-value products, corresponding anti-counterfeiting packaging was launched; the research and development of nanotechnology functional coating materials is also progressing steadily, and in the future, these could endow packaging with additional special functions such as antibacterial, waterproof, and heat-insulating properties. These innovative measures not only solve practical problems for customers but also open up new avenues for value growth.

2. Expanding the Business Landscape and Exploring New Growth Variables

Driven by a strong R&D engine, in 2025, Yutong Technology continued to expand and deepen its business layout along three main directions: internationalization, intelligence, and diversification.

First, accelerating the internationalization strategy. "Going global" is one of Yutong Technology's core strategies. In 2025, the company significantly accelerated its international expansion, actively deploying worldwide. In addition to consolidating and upgrading existing production bases in Vietnam, India, Mexico, and the Philippines, it is also advancing new factory projects in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Second, building highly efficient and flexible production capabilities. To address increasingly complex and changing market demands and cost pressures, Yutong Technology has been proactively developing smart factories since 2019. By 2025, this strategy has entered a harvest phase. Multiple smart factories have been established and are operating domestically, and the successful experience is being rapidly replicated in newly constructed overseas production bases.
