2022 had been an extraordinary year. The COVID-19 pandemic had brought a pause to everything and everyone for 3 years, and the masks were inseparable from our daily lives. But Ubridge had braved the impacts and challenges with the efforts of all our staff and realized a steady growth in performance.
In 2022, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was triumphantly held, featuring a grand blueprint for comprehensively advancing the great rejuvenation of the nation with Chinese-style modernization. Ubridge has closely followed the national strategic planning and actively participated in the national construction. Also on such a historic occasion, Guangdong Ubridge New Material Technology Co., Ltd. ushered in the 33rd anniversary of the establishment. This year, we won 14th place among the Top 30 Private Enterprises and 7th place among the Top 10 Private Enterprises in the Manufacturing Industry in Fangchenggang, as well as the title “2022 Top 10 Enterprise in Comprehensive Strength of Titanium Industry”.

The company always follows the vision of “ Promoting high-quality development of the enterprise, industry, and nation through practical work”, and has adhered to the principle of “Innovation for development and future”. We will continue to promote the high-quality development of titanium and zirconium production capacity, and make the promotion of new energy industry and the development of future strategic emerging industries our focus in 2023. We will strive to establish our leadership in the new technology and new energy industries in terms of product quality and competitiveness, so as to lay a solid foundation for the country's development.
