On the afternoon of July 17, amid enthusiastic applause, XingFengMing Group and Leaf Bio successfully held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony. The event was attended by Mr. Zhuang Yaozhong, Chairman of XingFengMing Group; Mr. Zhao Chuncai, Vice President; Mr. Yang Jianfei, Vice President and Board Secretary; Mr. Guan Yongyin, Vice President; as well as Mr. Xu Hai, Chairman and General Manager of Leaf Bio; Mr. Luo Zhao, Chief Marketing Officer and General Manager of Hangzhou Leaf; along with key members of both companies’ leadership teams. Together, they witnessed this milestone moment. This partnership marks the beginning of a new chapter of collaborative innovation between XingFengMing Group and Leaf Bio. By combining strengths, the two companies aim to inject fresh momentum into the global green transformation of the textile fiber industry and lead the way toward more sustainable development. Leaf Bio is a global frontrunner in the field of bio-based aromatic materials, dedicated to the research and production of furan-based materials known for being bio-sourced, low-carbon, high-performance, and broadly applicable. Its core products, BioFleax™ and FDCA, are celebrated as the “next-generation polyester” and “the most promising bio-based platform chemical,” respectively. As the only currently scalable bio-based materials with chemical structures comparable to PET and PTA, they represent rare examples of high-performance bio-based solutions. Leaf Bio has successfully unlocked the potential of bio-based aromatic materials across food and beverage packaging, textiles and apparel, 3C electronics, automotive sectors, and has established strategic partnerships with multiple global industry leaders. In alignment with China’s national strategy to drive high-quality industrial development, optimize industrial structure, and advance the “dual carbon” (peak carbon and carbon neutrality) goals, XingFengMing Group is deepening its core competitive advantages in traditional businesses while proactively investing in strategic emerging industries to cultivate new engines of sustainable growth. Through this cooperation, Leaf Bio’s FDCA (2,5-furandicarboxylic acid) technology will empower XingFengMing to explore the application potential and technological pathways of FDCA-derived materials, such as PEF (polyethylene furanoate), in premium bio-based fibers, green packaging, and beyond. This vision aligns closely with the Group’s strategic focus on “greener, differentiated, and innovation-driven” development. This strategic collaboration is more than just a move to overcome homogeneous competition in the traditional industry. It is a forward-looking step to seize policy opportunities, build differentiated competitive edges, and significantly accelerate the Group’s strategic rollout in the field of bio-based new materials. Ultimately, it will inject new impetus into the green and low-carbon transformation, driving value creation across the entire industrial chain.
