Cold Chain was invited to attend the Hong Kong Commercial Times Business Awards ceremony in Hong Kong, where it received the "Most Outstanding Multinational Industrial Investment Group of the Year" award. The event, themed "Gathering Hong Kong's Strength, Creating Business Opportunities," recognized excellence in market competitiveness, brand building, social responsibility, and industry standing.
As a leading cold chain food supply chain enterprise under Hong Kong Yuhu Group, Yuhu Cold Chain earned this honor for its nationwide network of international-standard smart digital cold chain food trading centers and innovative Online-Merge-Offline (OMO) transaction service model. The award was presented by Dr. Kwok Tak Sum, President of the Hong Kong Institute of Economists. Over 80 renowned enterprises from various industries participated in the event.
In the context of China's "dual circulation" development pattern and the "14th Five-Year Plan" for cold chain logistics development, high-standard, asset-heavy cold chain infrastructure is key to ensuring smooth connection between domestic and international circulation. China's "Strategic Plan for Expanding Domestic Demand" emphasizes improving the modern circulation system and enhancing circulation efficiency and added value.
Yuhu Cold Chain's nationwide asset-heavy layout, information management, green and intelligent warehousing logistics solutions, and integrated online-offline transaction services actively implement this strategy. The company is building a modern cold chain supply chain service system that connects production and consumption ends with deep integration of online and offline operations, effectively improving supply chain efficiency and security, earning high recognition from government and customers.
CCTV previously featured Yuhu Cold Chain's integrated service model as a classic case of cost reduction and efficiency improvement for upstream and downstream customers in its special program "Creating a New Engine for Productive Service Industry: Smooth Flow Creates the Lifeline of Manufacturing."
The company's asset-heavy investment in high-standard digital cold chain parks provides "hardcore" support for cold chain infrastructure. Through large-scale operations and coordination between regional parks, it significantly reduces full-chain, full-cycle operating costs while enhancing temperature control stability and food safety through intelligent management. This promotes deep collaboration among upstream and downstream industries in standards, technology, and data. Additionally, the introduction of green design and carbon management systems helps achieve dual carbon goals.
Currently, Yuhu Cold Chain operates eight cold chain food trading centers in Guangzhou, Chengdu, Wuhan, Meishan, Jieyang, Xiangyang, Changsha, and Tianjin, with a total building area exceeding 2.6 million square meters and a total storage capacity of 1.35 million tons, serving a population of 800 million across China. It represents the largest group of cold chain projects under construction in China. The operational Guangzhou and Chengdu parks provide full-chain service support to nearly 2,000 merchants, creating over 10,000 jobs and injecting strong momentum into high-quality regional economic development.
In the future, Yuhu Cold Chain will uphold its mission of "building a high-quality cold chain food trading platform in China," accelerating the improvement of the national cold chain food supply chain network to efficiently deliver quality cold chain food to markets nationwide, deeply integrating into the rural revitalization strategy to activate new rural momentum, and actively cultivating new quality productivity in the industry through technological, model, and management innovation, contributing to the high-quality development of the cold chain industry.
