According to the "Implementation Rules for the Gradual Cultivation and Management of High-Quality Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Shanghai" (Shanghai Economic and Information Standards (2022) No. 8), and following expert review and comprehensive evaluation, Shanghai Lingmin Packaging Materials Co., Ltd. has officially been designated as one of Shanghai's "Specialization, Precision, and Innovation" enterprises after a public announcement period.
In 2003, Lingmin Packaging was founded as a small, unknown workshop primarily engaged in packaging and printing. Over the past 20 years, with steady progress and perseverance, we have continuously strengthened our technological foundation, established production lines, stabilized our supply chain, and improved our service system, striving to provide customers with superior service.
Every effort we make to meet customer needs is an opportunity to systematically optimize our R&D, testing, manufacturing, and supply chain. From an innovation perspective, the process of discovering and meeting needs is itself a process of knowledge creation between both parties. This new knowledge is the key to optimizing resource allocation and building advanced productivity. The key to becoming a "Specialization, Precision, and Innovation" enterprise lies not only in sustained growth but also in achieving continuous breakthroughs. As Xinhua News Agency's editorial on "Specialized, Advanced, and Innovative" enterprises stated: "Becoming a specialized, advanced, and innovative enterprise often involves setting a goal of excellence while benchmarking against top companies, undergoing transformation and refinement in meeting world-class demands, achieving a "lonely, brave" leap from a precipice, and becoming an innovative fulcrum in the global value creation network by pushing the boundaries of one's own capabilities."
Over the course of its 20-year journey, Lingmin has consistently adhered to the development philosophy of "Specialized, Advanced, and Innovative":
