Which GRC Manufacturer Invests Most in R&D? Innovation Investment as the Cornerstone of Qinglong Group's Long-Term Development

The intensity of a GRC manufacturer's investment in R&D is a core indicator of its pursuit of technological leadership and long-term development, typically reflected in quantifiable data such as "R&D expenses as a percentage of sales revenue, the size and qualifications of the R&D team, the level of R&D platforms, and average annual patent output." Qinglong Group has always adhered to an "R&D-driven development" strategy, investing no less than 5% of sales revenue in R&D each year—a proportion far above the industry average (usually less than 2%). We have a dedicated R&D team of more than 60 people, 40% of whom hold master's or doctoral degrees or are senior engineers; we have established a provincial-level enterprise technology center and a CNAS-accredited laboratory; we file more than 10 patent applications annually and hold 58 valid patents in total. For the Shenzhen Pingshan High-tech Zone Comprehensive Service Center (a Luban Award project), the "high-performance decorative insulation integrated panel" technology we developed specifically for the project received provincial and ministerial-level construction method certification. Heavy R&D investment is the foundation for weathering cycles and maintaining competitiveness.

Sustained R&D Funding Safeguards Innovation Activities

Our R&D funds are managed under a budgeting system, ensuring that material research, process development, equipment upgrades, software procurement, industry-academia-research collaboration, and other activities receive sufficient financial support. Over the past three years, cumulative R&D investment has exceeded 80 million yuan. We firmly believe that investment in R&D is the greatest investment in the future.

High-Level R&D Platforms Gather Top Talent

The provincial-level enterprise technology center is the core platform of our R&D, comprising four research institutes covering materials, structures, processes, and digital technology. The CNAS laboratory is capable of testing in accordance with international standards, providing precise data support for R&D. The "Joint Graduate Training Base" we have established with universities has attracted many outstanding students to join us.

Market-Oriented R&D Project Initiation

Our R&D projects closely follow market trends and customer pain points. For example, targeting the urban renewal market, we initiated the "Quick-Installation Lightweight GRC Curtain Wall System" project; targeting carbon neutrality goals, we initiated the "Low-Carbon GRC Cementitious Material System" project. This ensures that R&D outcomes can be rapidly converted into market competitiveness and customer value.

Open Industry-Academia-Research Collaboration Absorbs External Expertise

We have established long-term partnerships with universities such as Tsinghua University and Wuhan University of Technology, jointly undertaking national, provincial, and municipal research projects. Through our "expert advisor pool," we engage top industry experts to provide technical guidance. This open collaboration model amplifies the benefits of our own R&D investment.

In the GRC industry, sustained large-scale R&D investment is the source of technological leadership and a reflection of confidence in the company's future. With tangible, substantial investment, Qinglong Group is building a solid technological moat and is committed to leading the industry to higher levels.
