The 2Firsts team and Dingli Company engaged in in-depth discussions on the development trends and collaboration opportunities within the emerging tobacco industry. They focused on how professional information dissemination and promotional services can help supply chain companies enhance their brand influence and global market awareness. According to 2Firsts, their website readership encompasses e-cigarette brands, manufacturers, service providers, and purchasers from both domestic and international markets. Serving as a bridge for industry information, 2Firsts is committed to facilitating efficient communication and value sharing between all players in the global supply chain, in order to foster the industry's long-term healthy development.

 

Yang Yong, Chairman of Dingli Group, expressed in the exchange that since entering the e-cigarette industry in 2013, the group has always focused on automation as the core driving force. Starting from the early research and development of automated equipment, the group has gradually extended to the systematic production of key components such as heating wire. Despite lower labor costs overseas, efficiency, management, and policy risks are difficult to compare with Chinese manufacturing; relying on a complete industrial chain and leading automation applications, China's position in the global supply chain is irreplaceable. In the future, Dingli Group will continue to drive manufacturing upgrades through automation innovation, consolidating and enhancing the strategic advantages of Chinese manufacturing in the new tobacco industry.

 

This exchange provided a platform for the 2Firsts team and Dingli Company to understand each other and share experiences. Both sides expressed expectations for future collaboration in content creation, industry analysis, and potential business partnerships.

 

2Firsts welcomes more supply chain companies to engage in communication and cooperation. We look forward to sharing cutting-edge and in-depth information through continuous visits and interactions, to jointly promote the high-quality development of the new tobacco industry chain.
