The ceremony was hosted by Chen Liyi, Executive Vice President of Garden Group.

On behalf of the Zhejiang Rail Transit Construction and Management Association, Ma Defu congratulated the project on its commissioning. He pointed out that Garden Jinbo has successfully overcome the manufacturing problems of metal bellows for rail transit coupling joints, breaking the monopoly of related technologies and products, and providing new power support for cultivating the localized supply chain of important key technological equipment in the field of rail transit to build a completely independent, reliable and safe rail transit in China. He hoped that the Garden Jinbo Company, with the full help of the technical advantages and brand effect of CRRC Qishuyan Institute and Zhengzhou Machinery Research Institute, would further refine and optimize the bellows for coupling joints, continuously improve the competitiveness of the products and the level of service, and become a core enterprise in the industry-specific field as soon as possible. He also said that in the future development process, the association will, as always, play a good shopkeeper style and the role of a link bridge, and do our best to do a good job for the garden Jinbo company.

In recent years, CMC Qishuyan Institute has been actively building a hidden champion in the industry with transmission technology as its core advantage, and striving to build a source of original technology in the field of metal and metal composite materials and processes. Zhuang Jun pointed out that in July 2021, CMC Qishuyan Institute and Garden Jinbo Company began comprehensive cooperation, the two sides adhering to the "industrial development of the country, industry to serve the country" vision, responding to the national industrial strategy, jointly attack the bottleneck technology restricting the key parts and components, and the courage to be a high-end technology breakthrough in the key industrial areas of the pathfinder and the front-runner. At present, the development of metal bellows for rail transport coupling is progressing well. He firmly believes that with the capability and advantages of the respective fields, future cooperation will be closer, more lasting, and more effective, and at the same time expects that more garden features will be added to the rail transit business in China and even in the world.

Guo Jinming, on behalf of Dongyang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, congratulated the project on its commissioning. He stressed that the commissioning of the metal bellows project for rail transit coupling is an important strategic cooperation between Garden Jinbo and CRRC Qishuyan for the realization of the rail transit field. He hoped that the project could plan the production and operation, marketing, and other work after the commissioning, release the production capacity as soon as possible, and actively seize the development opportunity; he hoped that the two sides could take this commissioning as an opportunity to further expand the cooperation, and focus on solving more technological breakthroughs, and to achieve mutual benefit and win-win situation in the joint development; he hoped that the Garden Group can plow into the main industry, make it bigger and stronger, and play the role of demonstration and leadership, and to push forward more high-quality projects. I hope that the Garden Group will deepen its main business, grow bigger and stronger, play a leading role in promoting more high-quality projects, and continue to make contributions to the high-quality development of Dongyang's economy.

Shao Qinxiang pointed out that since 1996, Garden Group has put forward the target positioning of "non-high-tech projects not on", always insisting on the development of industry, the real economy unswervingly, and actively promoting the high-quality development of enterprises by increasing industrial investment, industrial innovation and transformation and upgrading strategies. Since this year, the Garden Group has continued to bigger and stronger and better five industries, in the new round of high-quality development, and constantly makes new progress to achieve new breakthroughs. At present, the independent innovation, R&D capability, brand creation, and product upgrading of the enterprises under the Garden Group have been significantly enhanced, and the innovation, competitiveness, and influence have been continuously improved. He hoped that Garden Jinbo would take the commissioning of the rail transit project as a new starting point, continue to strengthen the cooperation with CSR Qishuyan, benchmark the international first-class standards, continuously increase scientific and technological innovation, improve product quality, optimize the sense of service, and turn the enterprise into a high-end parts manufacturer with core competitiveness, so as to add new impetus to the rapid development of China's metal bellows industry.

Hu Hongren pointed out that Garden Jinbo Company is a national high-tech enterprise, plowing into the field of metal bellows for more than 50 years, mastering the core technology of bellows R & D and manufacturing, especially focusing on the research and development of metal bellows for rail transit coupling joints in recent years, and making successful breakthroughs in the key technology, which is invaluable. He hoped that Garden Jinbo would continue to do a good job in product technology optimization and after-sales service, strive to make Garden an industrial base of metal bellows for rail transit coupling joints in China, and make a contribution to the cause of rail transit in China.

Shao Hongxuan said that since the comprehensive deepening of cooperation, the two sides complement each other's advantages, give full play to their own advantages in technology, management, and other aspects of mutual support, and joint research to solve the mental bellows in the design, manufacture, use, after-sales and other outstanding difficulties in the whole process, and constantly improve the degree of mutual trust, and rapidly promote the coupling joints project pre-production validation and industrialization of the landing. It also cooperates closely with Zhengzhou Mechanical Research Institute to expand the coupling joint product line and is successfully applied in many lines such as Zhengzhou underground and Korean tourist trains. He pointed out that with the full commissioning of the project, Garden Jinbo will give full play to its advantages in product technology and R&D capability, accelerate the research and development of metal bellows for coupling joints for high-speed locomotives, and continuously improve the technical level to do fine work and promote the iterative optimization of coupling joints for independent production together with CSC Qishuyan and Zhengzhou Mechanical Research Institute, so as to tell the story of China's rail transportation business "Created in China" together. Together, we will tell the story of "China's creation" in China's rail transport industry.

In 2014, Garden Jinbo Company wholly acquired Shanghai Jinbo Elastic Components Co., Ltd, which was established in 1966, and began to deeply intervene in the elastic components industry, inheriting the products, culture, and market positioning of Shanghai Jinbo. At present, Garden Jinbo is a national high-tech enterprise, in Zhejiang Province, a specialty and special new small and medium-sized enterprise, the establishment of a provincial-level bellows R & D center, is the "sensitive metal bellows" Zhejiang manufacturing standard drafting unit and quality standard certification unit, with systematic bellows development data and sufficient technical experience, with a complete elastic components development, design, and manufacturing system. Nowadays, Garden Jinbo has 48 innovative invention patents and a number of key new products with leading technology and is an excellent supplier unit for many customers.

After the ceremony, the leaders and guests visited the rail transit project of Garden Jinbo Company as well as the ultra-thick calendered copper products project of Garden Copper Company and appreciated the technological, intelligent, and green production process of the two enterprises.
