In this stage, under the leadership of Chairman He Yongfu, the company maintained its leading position in the domestic construction sealant market and continued to expand into the segments of rail transportation, photovoltaic, new materials, consumer semiconductors, and general industry. While cultivating the domestic market, Zhijiang recognizes that the company must actively explore the international market in order to achieve sustainable development in the future. The company continues to deepen its globalization strategy, inviting the father of “Hidden Champions”theory, Professor Herman Simon and Simon-Kucher & Partners management consulting team to complete the global strategic development plan, registered the international brand "FINOTECH", and set up a sales subsidiary in Switzerland to serve the global market.
