On the day of the celebration, the experts and leaders at the meeting inspected the construction of the research institute on the spot and conducted in-depth technical exchanges. During the investigation, the lecturers of the research institute gave a detailed introduction around the complete path of "From technical conception to achievement verification". Each link takes "Data supports decision-making and science verifies effectiveness" as the core criterion, and through visual experimental operation, traceable test data and quantifiable performance indicators, it intuitively presents the standardized R&D management system and deep technical strength of the research institute. The guests present have established a "Empirical and verifiable" sense of trust in the R&D capability and technical level of the research institute, laying a solid foundation for further deepening cooperation.

At the beginning of the ceremony, President Xiang Jian, on behalf of the Shanghai Wanma Macromolecule Material Research Co., Ltd., delivered the opening speech. He provided an overview of the company’s construction situation, research achievements, and future planning blueprint from six key aspects. President Xiang emphasized: "The establishment of Shanghai Wanma Macromolecule Material Research Co., Ltd. is not only a key measure for the company's senior management to make forward-looking strategic deployments based on industry trends and meet the internal needs of high-quality development of the enterprise, but also an inevitable choice for the company to promote independent technological innovation, lead industry transformation and upgrading, implement a global development strategy, and cultivate high-end professional talents. Taking this opening as a new starting point, we will consistently uphold the development philosophy of ‘Innovation driven, pursuit of excellence’ striving to build Shanghai Wanma Macromolecule Material Research Co., Ltd. into a technology innovation highland with significant influence in the cable materials industry. This will provide solid and sustainable technical support and talent assurance for Wanma Macromolecule’s continued leading development, while also contributing core strength to the technological breakthroughs and industrial progress in China’s cable industry."

Following President Xiang Jian's report, Mao Qingchuan, Chief Expert of SECRI, took the stage to deliver a speech as a representative of the experts. He highly acknowledged the value of the research institute’s establishment, attributing it to the foresight of Wanma’s decision-makers and the company’s comprehensive strength. He profoundly pointed out: "The technological iteration and upgrading of the cable industry hinge on material innovation. Materials form the foundation of the industry’s development, with the direction of equipment R&D and process optimization being determined by material properties. Every leap forward in the cable industry has, without exception, been premised on breakthroughs in material technology. Therefore, the research institute established by Wanma Macromolecule should not only be regarded as Wanma Macromolecule’s core R&D vehicle and an important research platform of Zhejiang Wanma Co., Ltd., but also defined as a critical innovation hub for China's cable industry in the field of materials research. It effectively integrates high-quality resources from the upstream, midstream, and downstream of the industrial chain and bears the significant mission of driving technological progress in the industry. At the same time, the R&D team also carries heavy responsibilities: in addition to contributing necessary intellectual resources, researchers must immerse themselves in the front lines of the industry to accumulate practical experience. Only by conducting extensive systematic practice under theoretical guidance can they produce scientific research results with practical application value, truly demonstrating their contribution to the development of the cable industry. It is hoped that the R&D team will closely connect the rubber and plastic industry, the material synthesis sector, the cable industry, and end-users, fostering collaboration across the entire chain from R&D innovation to practical application, thereby making new and greater contributions to the high-quality development of the national economy."

Subsequently, on behalf of customers, Pan Wenlin, Chief Technology Officer of Jiangsu Hengtong High-Voltage Submarine Cables Co., Ltd., spoke from the perspective of actual industry needs. He addressed the current challenges posed by domestic key materials being "bottle-neck" and highly praised the successful application and outstanding performance of Wanma Macromolecule’s 220kV and below-grade materials in Hengtong’s land and submarine cable products. At the same time, he earnestly expressed hope that Wanma Macromolecule would further increase investment in research and development to fully overcome the technical challenges of 500kV DC and AC cable materials, and even 750kV AC and 800kV DC cable materials. By addressing common industry pain points and breaking through technical barriers, he emphasized that such efforts would help accelerate the entire cable industry’s progress toward high-quality development.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, General Manager Huang Shengqiang delivered a closing speech, outlining the future direction for the research institute’s development. He stated: "Shanghai Wanma Macromolecule Material Research Co., Ltd. bears a critical mission for the company’s strategic development. The research institute must adhere to a problem-oriented approach, conducting targeted research closely aligned with major national strategic needs, common industry technical challenges, and customer pain points to explore practical solutions and efficient implementation paths. At the same time, it should consistently uphold the cooperative principles of 'openness, sharing, innovation, and pragmatism' establishing a multi-party win-win collaboration mechanism that gathers global expertise. By engaging in deep strategic partnerships with customers, research institutions, and other organizations, the research institute will achieve efficient resource sharing and synergistic capability enhancement. It must dare to explore uncharted territories in scientific research and challenge the industry’s technical frontiers while remaining grounded in pursuing tangible results, driving the efficient transformation of innovative achievements into practical productivity. Moreover, it should empower high-quality industrial development, continuously explore and unleash the vast application potential of new materials, and concentrate superior resources to overcome key core technologies of high-performance wire and cable materials. The research institute will develop internationally competitive flagship products and benchmark projects, making irreplaceable and outstanding contributions to the upgrade, iteration, and sustainable development of the polymer materials industry for wire and cable, both nationally and globally."

Based on a new starting point, looking forward to a new journey, Shanghai Wanma Macromolecule Material Research Co., Ltd. will embrace the core mission of "Cultivating professionals, addressing industry challenges, and leading technological innovation". The company is committed to building a high-end innovation platform that integrates "Scientific research, achievement transformation, industrial services, and talent cultivation". It will continue to deepen its expertise in the field of polymer materials, using technological breakthroughs to overcome industry barriers and leveraging scientific research achievements to empower industrial transformation and upgrading. By doing so, the company will inject strong momentum into the high-quality development of China’s cable materials industry and write a brilliant new chapter in the field of polymer materials.
