Paper & Plastic: Exploring New Frontiers with Shanghai Ailu

March 19-20 – The “2026 Packaging 100 Enterprises Club Annual Conference & C300 International Summit” was successfully held in Shanghai.

Over 350 industry technical experts, brand representatives, and innovation leaders gathered to discuss new quality growth for the industry. Chen Ankang, Chairman of Shanghai Ailu Packaging Co., Ltd., was invited to attend and deliver the opening speech.

Enterprises should firmly pursue the three directions of intelligence, environmental protection, and innovation, deeply cultivate their core competitive tracks, and actively lay out key areas such as low-carbon new materials and smart packaging to unlock diverse value potential.

At the roundtable forum themed “Cross-Industry Exchange, Jointly Discuss Breaking the Deadlock,” Chairman Chen confronted new trends in transformation and analyzed the competitive landscape under the trend of material substitution: market competition has shifted from a single focus on cost to a comprehensive contest of environmental protection, performance, and circular systems.

Chairman Chen emphasized: The original intention of environmental protection is to drive industry upgrades. In the future, paper and plastic will coexist diversely, each excelling in its respective application scenarios. Through the development of mono-materials, recyclable materials, and product lightweighting, enterprises can simultaneously possess the ability to utilize multiple materials and provide systematic solutions.

Data-Driven Intelligence Enhances Both Quality and Efficiency

The deep coupling of AI with business operations is a key variable for enterprise breakthroughs. Shanghai Ailu is proactively advancing the construction of an intelligent production management system, connecting product lifecycle data, and transforming digital intelligence investments into tangible operational results.

The shortage of versatile talent is particularly critical in the digital transformation of enterprises. Shanghai Ailu cultivates high-tech talent, pilots mature tools and platforms, and promotes the scenario-based implementation of lean operations.

Cross-Industry Cooperation Creates New Growth

On March 20, the Packaging 100 Enterprises delegation visited Shanghai Ailu’s smart factory, observing product innovation and production operations firsthand, and engaging in in-depth exchanges.

Shanghai Ailu will continue to focus on excellent products and services, precisely responding to the diverse needs of the Chinese and global markets. Amid homogeneous competition, it will empower industry cooperation with an open ecosystem, carving out a differentiated new path for high-quality development.
