Insights

Industrial Manufacturing Strategist

Luda Taian unveils an automation and R&D-led strategic plan aiming to raise efficiency and global service footprint during the 15th Five-Year Plan.

The plan centers on scaling R&D, digital engineering, and an intelligent "future factory" to move from commodity flange maker toward higher‑value, customized supply. Key mechanisms include a stated R&D Investment Increment Plan, a joint laboratory for advanced alloys and joining, adoption of CAE and digital twins, and phased deployment of robots, AGVs and automated storage to enable unmanned operations and flexible small‑batch production.

Outcomes hinge on execution and measurable investment. Dependencies and risks include the size and timing of capital spend, successful integration of MES/ERP and 5G/IoT stacks, supply‑chain sourcing for advanced materials and robotics, and attainment of international certifications (ASME, PED, API). Achieving the stated > 30% operational efficiency uplift requires validated pilots and clear KPIs; failure to deliver timelines or certification could mute competitive benefits.

Concrete items to watch over the medium term: disclosure of planned capital expenditure and phasing, pilot results for the "lights‑out" workshop, formal partnerships or funding commitments for the joint lab, progress on zero wastewater and hazardous‑waste targets, and any announcements of regional warehousing/after‑sales centers in Europe and the Middle East. Monitor these items across the 15th Five-Year Plan period to assess whether the strategy translates into measurable operational and market gains.

Driving High-Quality Development in the High-End Metal Products Industry through Innovation and Intelligent Manufacturing

HONG KONG, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Luda Technology Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the "Luda Technology" or "Company", NYSE: LUD.US) announced that its subsidiary, Luda (Taian) Industrial Company Limited (the "Luda Taian"), has officially released its "Striving Forward in the 15^th Five-Year Plan" strategic plan, centered on "Innovation-Driven, Intelligent Manufacturing for the Future." This plan systematically outlines the Group's strategic pathways in technological innovation, intelligent manufacturing, green development, and global layout, aiming to embrace the high-quality development opportunities for China's manufacturing industry during the nation's 15^th Five-Year Plan period.

The strategic plan closely aligns with the overarching direction set forth at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20^th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which emphasizes "using advanced manufacturing as the backbone to promote industrial transformation towards intelligent, green, and integrated development." This marks Luda Taian's proactive response, with foresight and technological confidence, to the national call for high-quality manufacturing development under the national "15^th Five-Year Plan." The Company is committed to achieving self-sufficiency and controllability in the high-end foundational components sector, providing strong support for the security and resilience of the nation's modern industrial system.

Technology Innovation, Building the " Moat "  for Enterprise Development

In the face of complex and volatile global economic conditions anticipated during the "15^th Five-Year Plan" period, Luda Taian places technological R&D and innovation at the core of its strategy. The Company plans to implement a "R&D Investment Increment Plan" during this period, committing not only to consistently adopt the group's R&D policies but also to maximizing resource support for R&D. The focus will be on achieving breakthroughs in high-end flange products for special operating conditions such as ultra-low temperature, high pressure, and corrosion resistance, aiming to break foreign technological monopolies.

At the same time, the Company will collaborate with renowned domestic and international universities and research institutions to establish a "Joint Laboratory for Advanced Metal Materials and Connection Technologies." This lab will focus on the R&D and application of new alloy materials, lightweight design, and advanced welding processes. The R&D platform will be digitalized, fully incorporating technologies like CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) simulation and digital twins to achieve a fully digitalized process from product design and simulation to testing.

Building an Intelligent, Automated "Future Factory," Targeting Over 30% Increase in Overall Operational Efficiency

The core of the "Striving Forward in the 15^th Five-Year Plan" strategy lies in "intelligent manufacturing." Luda Taian will undertake a comprehensive intelligent transformation of its existing production lines, introducing industrial robots, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), and automated storage and retrieval systems to create a "lights-out factory" demonstration workshop, achieving unmanned operation in key processes. The goal is to form a new modern "future factory" integrating "intelligent manufacturing, smart logistics, and a centralized Data Hub" in phases. This "future factory" will deeply integrate 5G, IoT, and Big Data technologies to enable real-time production data collection, analysis, and intelligent optimization, targeting an increase in overall operational efficiency of over 30%.

Additionally, through the deep integration of MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, Luda Taian will build a highly flexible production system capable of rapidly responding to global customer demands for small-batch, high-mix, and customized orders.

Green Manufacturing, Fulfilling the Commitment to Sustainable Development

Actively responding to the national "dual carbon" goals, Luda Taian will fully integrate environmental protection into its operations. The transformed factory buildings will be fully equipped with photovoltaic power generation systems to create a "green campus," reducing reliance on traditional energy sources. The Company will invest in upgrading environmental protection equipment, promote non-hazardous surface treatment processes, and achieve "zero discharge" of production wastewater and the compliant, reduced treatment of hazardous waste.

The Company will further promote green management throughout the entire product lifecycle, considering material recyclability and environmental friendliness from the product design stage, and working with industry chain partners to build a green supply chain system. Green manufacturing is not only a regulatory requirement but also a core competitive advantage for the Company's future sustainable development.

Deepening Global Cooperation Opportunities; Plans for Warehousing and After-Sales Service Centers in Europe and Middle East

In response to the reshaping of the global industrial chain landscape, Luda Technology will actively seek opportunities for in-depth cooperation with large overseas engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contractors and energy enterprises, transitioning from a product supplier to a solution provider. Leveraging the continued advancement of the "Belt and Road" Initiative, Luda Taian will continuously expand its global market network, planning to establish regional warehousing and after-sales service centers in key areas such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. This aims to enhance local service capability and speed, shortening delivery times. The Company will also continue to pursue top international certifications such as ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), PED (Pressure Equipment Directive), and API (American Petroleum Institute) for its products, ensuring product quality exceeds international standards and strengthening the product's competitiveness and industry voice in the global market.

Mr. Ma Biu, Chief Executive Officer of Luda Technology, stated, "The '15^th Five-Year Plan' period represents a pivotal stage for China's transition from a major manufacturing country to a powerful intelligent manufacturing nation. For Luda, 'Striving Forward in the 15th Five-Year Plan' is not merely a strategic slogan, but a guiding principle of action for all Luda Technology employees. We hope to drive progress through the innovative spirit of all employees and global cooperation, refining every product with a craftsman's spirit and advancing every breakthrough with an innovation-driven mindset.

We aspire to make the "LUDA" brand synonymous with technological leadership and exceptional quality in the global flange industry by the end of the "15^th Five-Year Plan" period, contributing meaningfully to the high-quality development of China's manufacturing sector."
