As the year draws to a close, we set our sights on new beginnings. Today, Qingdao Laoshan Tube Industry Technology Co., Ltd. held a grand year-end summary meeting for 2025 in the company's third-floor conference room. All employees gathered together to review the year's achievements and discuss the development blueprint for 2026. Department heads delivered speeches in turn, followed by remarks from employee representatives, management team leaders, and General Manager Gu. The entire meeting was marked by a warm, practical, and efficient atmosphere, fostering a strong consensus of "gratitude, progress, breakthroughs, and innovation.". Departmental Performance Reports: Addressing Shortcomings in Our Roles, Focusing on Goals for Development The sales department stated in its remarks that it will focus on the core of "service" and clarify the work direction for 2026: "The sales team will always prioritize customer service, adhering to the pragmatic spirit of 'doing more with more effort.' We will actively engage with market demands, enhance customer satisfaction through meticulous and thoughtful service, and secure more collaboration opportunities with integrity and professionalism." The straightforward words reflect the sales team's determination to conquer the market. As the years roll on, looking back at the entire year, the customer service center has consistently upheld its original commitment of "thinking as the customer thinks and acting as the customer acts." With perseverance that "fears not the long and arduous journey" and a sense of responsibility that prioritizes "doing," it has delivered impressive results. We jointly reviewed the financial department's performance throughout the year. Throughout this year, we steadfastly adhered to the service philosophy of "centering on business, addressing its needs, and prioritizing its urgency." With unwavering patience and meticulous effort—"fearless of complexity and triviality"—we delivered a rigorous, standardized, and robust financial report through pragmatic action and precise execution. The speech by the warehousing and logistics department focused on "standardization" and "quality improvement with efficiency enhancement." It mentioned that by 2025, warehouses had achieved certain results in "accounting consistency" and standardized picking and shipping, but issues such as insufficient work motivation and lack of innovation still persisted.

Winter Construction Precautions for JRPP Low Temperature Impact: JRPP (jointless reinforced plastic pipe) materials may become brittle at low temperatures, increasing the risk of cracking during transportation, handling, and installation. Pre-construction Inspection: Check pipes and fittings for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or deformation caused by cold weather. Thawing Requirements: If materials are frozen or covered with ice, allow them to thaw naturally in a protected environment before use. Installation Temperature: Avoid installing JRPP when ambient or ground temperatures are too low (follow manufacturer recommendations, typically above 0°C or as specified). Trench Preparation: Ensure trenches are free of frozen soil, ice, or snow. Frozen subgrade should be removed and replaced with suitable backfill material. Backfilling: Use granular, unfrozen backfill material. Avoid using frozen clods or large ice chunks, which can cause uneven settlement and damage to the pipe. Sealing and Connection: Pay special attention to joint sealing. Cold temperatures can affect the performance of adhesives or sealing materials; use products suitable for winter conditions. Protection After Installation: Cover exposed pipes to prevent freezing and damage from construction activities. Product Storage Issues in Winter Storage Environment: Store JRPP in a dry, covered area protected from direct sunlight, rain, snow, and extreme cold. Avoid leaving materials outdoors for extended periods. Temperature Control: If possible, maintain a moderate storage temperature to prevent material embrittlement. Avoid storing near heat sources that could cause thermal stress. Stacking and Handling: Use proper stacking methods to prevent deformation. Avoid dropping or rough handling, as low temperatures increase the risk of cracking. Packaging Protection: Keep original packaging intact to protect against moisture and physical damage. Inventory Management: Rotate stock to ensure older materials are used first, reducing the risk of degradation from long-term winter storage. Risk Mitigation and Recommendations Develop a winter construction plan specific to JRPP, including temperature monitoring and material handling procedures. Train construction personnel on winter installation techniques and the proper use of cold-weather compatible adhesives and sealants. Maintain close communication with suppliers to ensure materials are shipped and stored under appropriate conditions. Conduct regular inspections of stored and installed materials to identify potential issues early. By following these precautions and addressing storage issues, the performance and longevity of JRPP in winter construction projects can be significantly improved.
