In recent years, more and more Chinese companies have joined the "track" of new materials, with new materials products and related production equipment attracting much attention at events such as the 131st China Import and Export Fair and the International Exhibition on Plastics and Rubber Industries (CHINAPLAS2023). New materials play an important role in key areas such as alloys, energy, semiconductors, and thin films due to their excellent performance structure and special properties. Fujian Forop Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Furop") is a leader on this "new" track.

Big shot in the world of "film", integrating production and research

Furop was established in 2008 as a technology and innovation-based enterprise engaged in the research and development, production, and sales of BOPP new materials in China. It is also recognized as a national high-tech enterprise and one of the top three companies in the industry in China. The company is dedicated to becoming a global leader in the film material industry by providing system solutions.

Advanced equipment is required for industrial upgrading

In 2020, Furop planned to import multiple overseas advanced film production lines and expand its film production projects in Guangdong, Shandong, Sichuan, and other regions of China to achieve product upgrades and capacity expansion. It was a challenge for the company's import team to quickly and safely purchase such a large quantity of production lines and put them into operation smoothly within a short period of time.

The procurement of the film production lines for this project involves high equipment value, multiple shipments, a long-time span, complicated operational processes, and more complex procedures than before. We hope to have a company with strong capabilities to assist us in completing the project.

Achieve deep cooperation with professional service

SUMEC International Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "SUMEC-ITC") has been deeply engaged in the import and export of rubber and plastic equipment for many years. In recent years, it has assisted nearly 50 domestic customers to successfully import nearly 100 film production lines, accumulating rich industry experience. After learning about SUMEC-ITC's professional service capabilities, Furop quickly confirmed its cooperation with the company. 

SUMEC-ITC's business team responded to customer needs in a timely manner, sorted out project information, and quickly developed corresponding solutions, coordinating available resources to help Furop successfully complete its procurement plan. During the project cooperation, SUMEC-ITC dynamically followed up on project progress in real time, assisting the customer in handling the relevant procedural documents required for each batch of imported film production lines in a timely manner. For some of the procurement needs in the project, they also provided customers with customized financial support solutions to fully guarantee the timely advancement and implementation of the project. From 2020 to 2022, SUMEC-ITC assisted Furop in purchasing more than ten film production lines, with a total equipment value exceeding USD 300 million.

We walk together on the path of innovation

Currently, Furop has 14 advanced BOPP and BOPE production lines, with improved product types and quality. In the future, Furop will continue to enhance its comprehensive strength, expand its international market, and strive to become a leading international product supplier and comprehensive service provider of system solutions in the plastic film industry. SUMEC-ITC will also continue to work with Furop in the related supply chain for all-round cooperation with a focus on meeting customer needs in the future. We will help the company move towards higher-end development in the new materials industry! 

Let's share development and win the future together.
