Enterprise History, Development, and Partners

Introduction

Weifang Xingyuan Paint Industry Co., Ltd. stands as a prominent and evolving force in China's industrial coatings sector. From its establishment in 1994 to its strategic rebranding in 2021, the company's journey is a testament to a relentless pursuit of quality, innovation, and adaptation to global market demands. This chronicle outlines our key developmental milestones, commitment to international standards, and the trusted partnerships we have forged along the way, demonstrating our capability to be a reliable supplier for demanding industrial applications worldwide.

Founding and Early Growth (1994 - 2012)

The enterprise was founded in 1994, initially operating as Weifang Hongda Chemical Paint Co., Ltd. This period was characterized by foundational growth, where we established our core production capabilities in traditional alkyd and synthetic resin paints. We focused on serving the local and regional manufacturing and construction markets, building a reputation for reliable products. During these formative years, we cultivated our initial network of partners, primarily consisting of local industrial equipment manufacturers and construction firms, laying the groundwork for our understanding of diverse application needs and technical challenges.

Commitment to System and Quality Standards (2013)

A significant leap in our operational philosophy occurred in 2013 when we successfully achieved dual certifications: ISO 9001 Quality Management System and ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. This milestone was not merely about obtaining certificates; it represented a fundamental institutional shift. The ISO 9001 certification systematized our entire production, R&D, and service processes, ensuring consistent, high-quality output that meets international benchmarks. Concurrently, the ISO 14001 certification embedded environmental responsibility into our corporate DNA, guiding us toward sustainable manufacturing practices long before they became an industry imperative.

Era of Product Innovation and Environmental Responsibility (2015 - 2016)

Responding proactively to tightening environmental regulations and growing client demand for greener solutions, we embarked on a focused innovation drive. In 2015, we successfully developed and launched our series of Water-Based Industrial Coatings. This move positioned us at the forefront of the industry's shift away from solvent-borne products, offering customers effective alternatives with significantly lower VOC emissions. Building on this momentum, 2016 saw another breakthrough with the successful development of High-Solid Content Coatings. These advanced formulations further reduced solvent use, enhanced application efficiency, and provided superior film build and durability, solidifying our portfolio for performance-driven yet environmentally conscious clients.

Entering the Automotive Supply Chain (2019)

A crowning achievement in our quality journey came in 2019 with certification to the IATF 16949 international standard. This is the most rigorous quality management standard specific to the automotive industry. Achieving IATF 16949 was a transformative event that demanded exceptional discipline in every aspect of our operations, from design and development to production and servicing. It officially qualified us as a potential supplier to global automotive OEMs and their tier networks, opening doors to one of the most demanding and technologically advanced sectors. It signaled to all our partners, existing and new, that our quality systems were world-class.

Strategic Rebranding and National Recognition (2021 - 2022)

To better reflect our evolved identity, technological maturity, and future vision, we undertook a strategic rebranding in 2021, officially becoming Weifang Xingyuan Paint Industry Co., Ltd. The new name "Xingyuan" symbolizes a new origin and expansive future, aligning with our ambitions in the global market. This vision was powerfully validated in 2022 when we were officially recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise by Chinese authorities. This prestigious status is awarded to companies that demonstrate sustained investment in research and development, possess core intellectual property, and have transformed technical achievements into high-growth products. It is a formal acknowledgment of our innovation-driven development model.

Our Partners and Collaborative Approach

Our development is intrinsically linked to the success of our partners. Over the decades, we have expanded our collaboration network far beyond our origins. We serve a diverse partner base that includes:

• Automotive Parts Manufacturers: Leveraging our IATF 16949 systems to provide primers, topcoats, and specialty coatings for components.

• Heavy Industrial Equipment Producers: Supplying durable epoxy, polyurethane, and acrylic coating systems for machinery, agricultural vehicles, and storage tanks.

• General Industrial and Fabrication Workshops: Offering a comprehensive range of products, from Alkyd Paints for maintenance to advanced zinc-rich primers for corrosion protection.

• Construction and Engineering Firms: Providing protective coatings for structural steel, bridges, and infrastructure projects.

We view these relationships not as transactional but as collaborative partnerships. Our technical service team works closely with partners to solve specific challenges, develop custom color matches, and optimize application processes, ensuring our coatings deliver maximum value and performance in the field.

Looking Forward

From a local paint producer in 1994 to a nationally recognized high-tech enterprise with certified automotive capabilities today, Weifang Xingyuan's history is a story of purposeful evolution. Our journey is defined by a commitment to systematic quality, proactive environmental innovation, and entering the most stringent supply chains. As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to advancing coating technologies, fostering deep partnerships, and providing sustainable, high-performance solutions that protect and enhance industrial assets worldwide.
