A Decade Listed: YIZUMI’s Journey―China Manufacturing Evolution

On 28th November, at the YIZUMI 10th Anniversary Listing Dinner, three key figures—Mr. Samson Chen, Deputy General Manager, and Chief Operating Officer; Mr. Zengfu Xia, representing YIZUMI’s core suppliers; and Mr. Richard Yan, Chairman and CEO of YIZUMI—takes the stage in turn. From the perspectives of corporate governance, industrial collaboration, and strategic vision, they jointly outlines the underlying logic and future trajectory of a benchmark manufacturing enterprise in continuous evolution.

This is more than just a celebration; it offers a thorough reflection on China’s manufacturing development model. The three guests' speeches logically deliver a clear message: competition among leading companies has moved beyond individual products and technologies, evolving into a contest of organizational synergy and industrial ecosystem efficiency. This marks a pivotal evolution in the paradigm of manufacturing competition.

01.「Breakthrough」

Capital Leverage and Strategic Resolve

From the initiation of YIZUMI shareholding reform in 2008 to successful IPO in 2015, YIZUMI has followed a classic path for Chinese manufacturers: leveraging capital for transformative growth. Mr. Samson Chen makes a retrospect to the time about “growth and anticipation”, which not only demonstrates startup success story, but also reveals the dual role of capital markets― a catalyst for growth and a litmus test for strategic resolve.

Amid the opportunities and challenges from capital markets, YIZUMI has made a firm choice: regarding the IPO as the beginning of high-quality development, not our conclusion. During the decade, YIZUMI’s sales revenue has increased by more than fivefold, while the net profit has grown nearly tenfold. These data reflect capital market’s recognition for YIZUMI steady growth and is also a vivid demonstration of YIZUMI’s strategic resolve.

The strategic resolve is underpinned by YIZUMI’s sustained R&D investment and the recruitment of international talents. By enhancing organizational capabilities and driving steady transformation, YIZUMI has reinforced core business strengths while advancing continuous technological and product innovation, forming a strong market moat.

02.「Innovation」

A Supply Chain Shift from Control to Empowerment

At the banquet, Mr. Samson Chen, and Mr. Zengfu Xia―the Chairman of Zhejiang Huaye Plastics Machinery Co., Ltd., both of them mentions the critical milestones in the YIZUMI’s path to going public. This is no coincidence, it is the fruit of twenty years of profound and symbiotic collaboration.

Mr. Zengfu Xia, the Chairman of Zhejiang Huaye Plastics Machinery Co., Ltd.

Mr. Zengfu Xia recounts the partnership with YIZUMI, beginning with a share commitment to precision manufacturing, and shifting to joint vision for intelligent global industry and sums up its essence as follow: “True collaboration turns a supplier’s technical expertise into a client’s core competitiveness. “ Nowadays, the relationship between YIZUMI and Huaye has evolved from a simple supplier arrangement to a joint innovation partnership, achieving “technological symbiosis” in fields such as materials science, precision processing, and green manufacturing.

This “Industrial ecosystem,” which treats the growth of supply chain partners as ours, marks YIZUMI’s shift from the traditional “chain leader” to the role of a platform-based enabler. By sharing both technology and risks, YIZUMI is fostering a more resilient industrial community, better equipped to navigate an uncertain future.

03.「Ambition」

The Systemic Evolution of a Learning Organization

In his speech, Mr. Samson Chen also shares the EMT team’s experience of learning and exchanging with INOVANCE, revealing the intrinsic drivers behind the YIZUMI’s continuous growth. YIZUMI holds itself to the standards of a learning organization, displaying a strong drive for continuous evolution and an unwillingness to settle.

INOVANCE is widely viewed as a benchmark for system-level capability building in the automation sector. What YIZUMI draws from is not only INOVANCE’s strong business performance, but also its organizational ability to iterate processes across generations and its management wisdom in uniting teams through “culture and vision. These key advantages worth learning from are directly towards the core of enterprise management―how to innovate through inheritance and stay grounded through transformation.

YIZUMI’s organizational directions for evolution is clear and firm ― shifting from a hero-centric, function-based organization to a process-driven structure built on unified platforms and integrated teams. This profound organizational evolution spans the whole company operating processes from product integrated R&D, supply chain management, smart manufacturing to market development and sales. The organization structure is supported by continuous evolving system capability instead of individuals. This is the core system upgrade that powers steady growth and long-term success.

04.「Future」

Competition on New Dimension

Looking ahead, the "Three 100" Targets (in Market Value, Revenue, and as a Century-Long Enterprise), articulated by Mr. Samson Chen, chart a new journey for YIZUMI. This path will unfold on a fresh competitive landscape.

In his toast, Mr. Richard Yan, YIZUMI's Chairman and CEO, emphases: "Green Intelligent Manufacturing, Digital Integration," and the "Vertical Ecosystem Chain" are precisely what define this new dimension. The competition of the future is premised on green and low-carbon capabilities, end-to-end supply chain visibility, and, most importantly, the collaborative efficiency of the entire “technology–production–service” ecosystem

Mr. Richard Yan, Chairman and CEO of YIZUMI

Mr. Richard Yan notes: “Our past achievements are set in history, and the future is to create.” YIZUMI’s ten-year journey since IPO reflects China’s manufacturing evolution, showing that true strength lies not in the scale of its operations, but in the resilience of its systems, the broad vision, and a thriving ecosystem.

With a toast at the anniversary dinner, we honor not only YIZUMI's decade as a public company but also the dawn of a new era for "Intelligent Manufacturing in China.”
