2021 also marks various technical breakthroughs from our R&D team. Our R&D team have brought forward technological improvements that prevent our extra-aggressive metal-bond trapezoid and cup wheels from glazing while effectively removing scratch patterns. Our hardworking research engineers have also updated the formula of our resins pads to be more aggressive with a prolonged lifespan while leaving the floor with a high gloss and high DOI finish without any resin transfer. Another technical improvement helps our resin pad adhere to the Velcro backing better so that the quality of our products is always ensured. One technological breakthrough worth mentioning is for our transitional pads and cup wheels. Our engineers have upgraded our transitional pads and cup wheels to remain aggressive and resistant to heat while working on any heavy floor machines with high rotational speed and prolonged time.
Our R&D team offers monthly training sessions to ensure our factory workers remain technically capable and specialized. In addition to monthly training, we introduced lean production training to our factory in July. Another session of training that focused on the 7S management method helped clear up our factory spaces made our manufacturing process highly efficient.
2021 is a year like no other. As the world emerges from the worst pandemic, recovery and
renewal have become the keyword of 2021. At these times, we feel our world is more connected than ever, and we are also faced with serious challenges that pushed us to advance as an expert in the concrete floor grinding and polishing industry. In this article, we would like to take a look back at the significant events of Ashine in 2021:
Despite the uncertainties we encountered in the post-Covid era, we witnessed a sudden surge of orders thanks to the support of our valued customers, which marks a massive breakthrough in our performance. In respond to the growing customer demand, we built the first workshop of our new factory within a month, hiring 8% more workers to join our metal and resin team, and adding six automatic milling machines and sintering machines to our new factory.
We also added two research engineers to our R&D team to provide our customers with the most technically advanced products of the highest standard and quality. Adding one more quality control manager to our team ensures our products are under the most stringent inspections before they reach our customers.
This year, we launched two long-term strategy seminars to comb through our vision and mission and analyze our SWOT both in domestic and international markets. As the seminars ended, we have upgraded our mission and vision. Our brand new mission is: make floor grinding & polishing efficient and create an Eco-friendly & sustainable world. Our updated vision is: To be the trailblazer in the technology of diamond tools for the floor grinding & polishing industry and a world-renowned brand in the high-end market. We have made our plan for sales figures in 2030 and wish to establish our OEM brand Ashine and private brand EZShine as one of the best pioneers in the industry. It is also part of our strategy to incorporate lean production into our manufacturing processes and become a public company.
Another significant improvement that has positively impacted our brand image is updating all of our website pages in September. With detailed information about our products, visitors to our site would have a smoother experience when browsing our pages and selecting diamond tools.
Ashine is conscious of our impact on all aspects of society. It is on our agenda to shoulder social responsibilities. We donate part of our proceedings to our community and NGOs. With a concerted effort from our supportive customers, we have donated 7，440，600 liters of clean water in total to those in need through Made Blue project based in The Netherlands. Moreover, we have also contributed to the Twilight Rescue team in Xiamen, Blue Sky Rescue, and Redcross in Tongan to alleviate the negative impact of Covid cases, and Little Snail organization, which support disabled people.
As we take a glance at Ashine’s 2021, we would like to extend our warmest thanks to our customers, suppliers, staff and partners for all of their support, trust and hard work, which make our progress in 2021 possible. In 2022, Ashine will provide excellent service and innovative floor grinding and polishing tools catered to our customers' needs.
