In 2020, during a critical period for the coordinated national efforts to combat epidemic prevention and control while balancing economic and social development, Yuhang District, as a key sector in Hangzhou's economic development, maintained close attention to the production and operation status of businesses within its jurisdiction. In 2020, Yuhang District Mayor Chen Rugen, along with officials from relevant district government departments, made a special visit to Hangzhou Haoyue Personal Care Co., Ltd. (stock code: 605009) to gain an in-depth understanding of the company's progress in resuming work and production, its capacity restoration, and the needs it faces in its development, aiming to provide targeted services to safeguard its development.
Visiting the Production Workshop: Observing the Reopening and Confirming the Effectiveness of Capacity Restoration
On the day of the visit, District Mayor Chen Rugen and his delegation, accompanied by Hangzhou Haoyue management, first visited the company's production workshop. Hangzhou Haoyue had already fully resumed work and production in an orderly manner in accordance with epidemic prevention and control requirements. The Japanese ZUIKO automated production line within the workshop was operating at full speed, with core products such as baby diapers, adult nursing pads, and disinfectant wipes rolling off the line continuously.
District Mayor Chen Rugen stopped by the production line and inquired in detail about the production process, raw material supply, daily production capacity, and quality control measures. Upon learning that the company had restored production capacity to pre-pandemic levels through optimized scheduling and resource allocation, and was able to meet market and public needs, he commended the company's efficient coordination capabilities and urged it to maintain full production capacity while strictly implementing epidemic prevention and control measures such as employee health monitoring and workshop disinfection to ensure production safety.
Researching the R&D Center: Focusing on Technological Innovation and Supporting Industry-University-Research Collaboration
The research team then visited Hangzhou Haoyue's R&D center. As a national high-tech enterprise, Hangzhou Haoyue's investment and achievements in R&D have always been a focus of government attention.
In the R&D laboratory, the company's leaders briefed District Mayor Chen Rugen on recent technological innovation progress, including the development of biodegradable care materials, process upgrades to enhance product breathability and absorbency, and optimized disinfectant wipe formulations to meet market demand during the pandemic. District Mayor Chen Rugen listened attentively to the presentation and reviewed relevant patent certificates and R&D data. He emphasized that innovation is the core driving force for sustainable corporate development. The Yuhang District Government will continue to support companies in increasing R&D investment and encourage them to engage in industry-university-research collaborations with universities and research institutions to promote the commercialization of more innovative results and help them maintain their technological leadership in the personal care sector.
Holding a Symposium: Listening to Enterprises' Demands and Coordinating on-site to Resolve Problems
At the subsequent symposium, Hangzhou Haoyue's management presented a detailed report on the company's 2020 business plan, market expansion, and current challenges, such as price fluctuations for some raw materials and rising logistics and transportation costs.
District Mayor Chen Rugen carefully noted the company's concerns and coordinated with the accompanying leaders of the district's Development and Reform Commission, Economic and Information Technology Bureau, and Transportation Department to address each of the company's questions.
Regarding raw material price fluctuations: The government will collaborate with industry associations to establish a supply-demand matching platform to help companies expand procurement channels and stabilize costs.
Regarding logistics and transportation issues: The government will coordinate and optimize the regional logistics and distribution system to create a "green channel" for transportation and reduce logistics costs.
Praising Social Responsibility: Acknowledging Public Welfare Responsibility and Committing to Policy Support
During the symposium, District Mayor Chen Rugen also highlighted Hangzhou Haoyue's commitment to social responsibility during the pandemic. The company had previously urgently allocated resources to donate 600,000 yuan worth of nursing supplies and 1 million yuan in cash to Wuhan, Hubei, to support the frontline response. He highly praised this, noting that while ensuring their own development, the company proactively fulfilled its social responsibilities, demonstrating the sense of responsibility of Yuhang enterprises. The government will also provide more favorable policies to such socially responsible enterprises, such as facilitating project applications and qualification certification.
Outlook on Government-Enterprise Collaboration: Deepening Service Guarantees and Encouraging Enterprises to Grow Stronger and Bigger
At the end of the symposium, District Mayor Chen Rugen stated that the Yuhang District Government has always regarded enterprise development as a key pillar of regional economic growth and will continue to deepen its "three services" program, providing more targeted and efficient policy support and service guarantees to address the pain points and difficulties faced by enterprises in their development. He encouraged Hangzhou Haoyue to seize the favorable industrial development environment in Yuhang District, further expand its production capacity and market share, and contribute more to the high-quality economic development of Yuhang District.
Hangzhou Haoyue's management expressed gratitude to District Mayor Chen Rugen and his delegation for their visit and research, stating that the visit allowed the company to feel the government's care and support, and strengthened its confidence in development. In the future, the company will continue to take root in Yuhang, focus on its core business of personal care, increase investment in research and development and production capacity, and while achieving its own steady development, actively fulfill its social responsibilities and contribute to the regional economic and social development.
