High-End Products Drive Global Expansion: J&N Polyolefins Joins Lion Corporation’s Supply Chain In Japan
From April 12 to 13, Mr. Miki Hayashi, Director of the Procurement Department of Lion Co., Ltd. of Japan, along with Procurement Managers Yoko Ootsuki and Toshihiko Tachikawa, visited Jingbo Polyolefins to discuss the ongoing cooperation regarding the previously successfully developed high-end daily use transparent polypropylene. They were received by Mr. Ren Hongtao, Vice Chairman of Qingdao Lion, Mr. Miwata Tomohiro, Director, and Mr. Tang Xilei, Supply Department Director, as well as relevant business managers of Jingbo Polyolefins. Mr. Zang Yuntao, General Manager of Jingbo Polyolefins, and Mr. Yuan Wenbo, Technical General Manager, welcomed the delegation.

Enhance Mutual Trust through Exchange and Empowerment, Solidify the Foundation for Cooperation
After the visit, both sides held a special symposium. Zang Yuntao extended a warm welcome to the delegation. He pointed out that Jingbo Polyolefins has always taken high-performance and high-stability polyolefin material solutions as its core, committed to creating long-term value for global quality customers; as a leading company in the global daily consumer goods industry, Shionogi's technologies, quality, and sustainable development concepts are highly aligned with those of Jingbo Polyolefins, and the future cooperation potential is vast.

Resonance of Innovative Concepts, Expansion of Collaborative Boundaries
At the meeting, both parties focused on the in-depth exchange of next-generation high-end toothbrush handle transparent polypropylene materials, and thoroughly discussed core topics such as "two highs and three excellences" (high transparency, high gloss, excellent rigidity, toughness, and bending fatigue resistance), processing compatibility, batch stability, and customized R&D capabilities, aiming to jointly develop a customized solution for high-end toothbrush handles that combines aesthetic appeal with excellent durability.

Lion Corporation of Japan imposes extremely stringent supplier admission standards. As a material for toothbrush handles that comes into direct contact with the human body, the specialized polypropylene compound must meet performance requirements—including low odor, high transparency, high rigidity, and high toughness—that far exceed those of general-purpose polypropylene products. After repeated formulation adjustments and process validation, J&H Polyolefins successfully achieved a technological breakthrough, fully satisfying Lion Corporation’s rigorous requirements.
Wei Lin Meiko focused on supply chain assurance capabilities. Jingbo Polyolefins systematically demonstrated its reliable delivery capabilities from perspectives including capacity planning, safety stock, and a full-cycle customer service system. Both parties reached an agreement on subsequent cooperation, explicitly establishing a regular technical communication mechanism, prioritizing the secure supply of core product capacity, and simultaneously expanding collaboration into more specialty polyolefin applications for daily consumer goods.
As a century-old enterprise, Lion actively practices a sustainable development strategy. Its "container-to-container" recycling project highly aligns with Jindao's petrochemical chemical recycling polypropylene project's green development vision. The Lion delegation showed strong interest in Jindao's rPP-C series chemical recycled materials. Both sides had in-depth exchanges on the pain points, development trends, and application prospects of the chemical recycled materials industry in the Chinese market, laying the foundation for future cooperation in the green materials field.

Strategic Cooperation Breakthrough Accelerating International Expansion
The visit and reaching of a deep cooperation consensus by Lion Corporation of Japan marks a significant milestone in the internationalization and high-end breakthrough driven by the Jingbo polyolefins product management system. It is also an important achievement for Jingbo in new product development and high-end market expansion. As a century-old global leader in consumer goods, Lion Corporation executes the highest global standards for supplier qualifications, technical strength, quality control, and supply assurance. The achievement of this cooperation signifies that Jingbo's technical research and development, quality control, and large-scale delivery capabilities in the field of high-end polypropylene specialty materials have officially received authoritative recognition from a top international client, laying a solid foundation for the company's comprehensive development of the global market and deep integration into the international high-end industrial chain.
In the future, Jingbo Polyolefins will continue to promote the high-endization of product structure, refinement of application scenarios, and globalization of service systems, further enhancing the brand influence and core competitiveness in the international new materials market, providing strong support for the company to expand the global high-end market and build an international industrial ecosystem.
