Starting with a decisive battle, beginning with a sprint. Recently, enterprises across Zunyi have been working at full capacity and seizing the opportunity to make a strong start, striving with practical efforts to achieve a “good beginning” in the first quarter, laying a solid foundation for Zunyi’s “14th Five-Year Plan” start.

64 production lines fully operational, 5 million cups shipped nationwide daily

Walking into the injection molding workshop of Zunyi Zunda Intelligent Manufacturing Industry Co., Ltd. in Huichuan District, 64 fully automated production lines are running at high speed. Bags of raw plastic materials are unpacked and disinfected, then enter the warehouse, and are transported via central feeding pipes to injection molding machines. The machines melt the plastic and press it into molds, which cool down to produce smooth dining cups.

“Our 64 production lines are now running 24/7 in two shifts,” said the company’s factory manager, Xu Zhongshuang. “Currently, our orders are scheduled through March. To meet the deadlines, everyone is working hard.” He added, “We consume about 50 tons of PP pellets daily, and produce around 5 million finished products of various types.”

Orders are the barometer of production. Behind full capacity is continuous market demand. Founder Luo Liangshan told reporters that thanks to market expansion and technological upgrades, the thriving sales and production situation gives him full confidence in the first quarter.

“In the first quarter of 2026, we expect the total output value to increase by more than 20% compared to last year,” Luo said. “Normal order scheduling already extends to March. To supplement manpower, we urgently recruited over 50 workers. With this momentum, reaching an output value of nearly 50 million yuan in the first quarter should be no problem.”

While monitoring production, Luo Liangshan is also planning for “new tracks.” He revealed that, besides consolidating traditional advantages like milk tea cups, the company is actively entering new consumer fields. “Since the end of last year, we’ve been trying to cooperate with catering brands, such as Yuanji Yun Dumplings, which is about to go public, and local brands like ‘Qu Tea Mountain’ and ‘Gongding Tea,’ which have begun in-depth collaborations.”

Production continues, and shipping is busy. In the logistics area, the warehouse is filled with boxes ready to be shipped to various places. Forklifts shuttle back and forth, loading finished products onto waiting trucks.

“Daily shipments are about 8 to 12 trucks, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. as usual. When there are urgent orders, overtime until midnight or even 2 a.m. is common,” Xu Zhongshuang pointed to the loaded goods. “Our main shipping regions are the south and southwest, with customers as far as Xinjiang, Heilongjiang, and even overseas.” He revealed that building a professional overseas sales team is a key strategic focus for the company in 2026.

Why choose to settle in Zunyi? Xu Zhongshuang did another cost calculation: “In Zunyi, electricity prices are relatively low, and labor costs are much lower than along the coast, giving us a clear overall cost advantage. Plus, now that Guizhou’s transportation network is well-developed, logistics costs are basically on par with coastal areas.”

Currently, the company is expanding further into the new beverage packaging sector, achieving full coverage of all packaging products for a milk tea shop. The company’s overseas business plan is also becoming clearer.

Over 50,000 wine boxes produced daily, Hongxi Packaging wins with quality

Liquor is Zunyi’s leading industry. In recent years, Zunyi has been extending its liquor industry chain, with liquor packaging materials being an important part.

Walking into the production workshop of Zunyi Hongxi Packaging Co., Ltd., located in Zunyi Comprehensive Bonded Zone, the scene is equally busy. Cutting, slotting, positioning, manual gluing, edging, molding… Workers skillfully perform these steps, transforming ordinary cardboard into exquisite wine boxes quickly on the assembly line.

“Our main focus now is on Maotai zodiac wine series boxes,” said the workshop supervisor, Li Yiwei. To meet customer needs, all 7 production lines are running at full capacity, with over 150 workers working overtime until 10 p.m. daily.

Founded at the end of 2019, this company can produce over 12 million high-quality wine boxes annually and is a key supplier for well-known brands like Maotai. At the 2025 procurement and supply chain conference held by Guizhou Moutai Group, Hongxi Packaging stood out among over 290 suppliers nationwide and received the “Excellent Supplier Partnership” award.

This honor boosts the company’s confidence. General Manager Zhang Rongcheng said, “Orders are full in the first quarter, with daily production of over 50,000 wine boxes. The estimated first-quarter output value is around 20 million yuan, slightly higher than previous years.”

In the storage area, a 2,300-square-meter warehouse neatly stacks about 500,000 finished wine boxes. Warehouse supervisor Xie Guangjun is counting inventory with a list, while forklift drivers skillfully load boxes onto trucks. “This dedicated warehouse building has five floors,” Xie said. “Recently, customer orders have increased significantly, with daily shipments of 7 to 8 trucks, totaling over 70,000 boxes.”
