2.Technology upgrade: Join universities and research institutions to develop low VOCs water-based paint formulas and establish shared painting centers to reduce the transformation costs of small and medium-sized enterprises.
3.Market expansion: Through cross-border e-commerce and overseas exhibitions, we focused on promoting environmentally friendly furniture products and successfully entered high-end markets such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.
