SHANGHAI, China, Jan. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Texxon Holding Limited (Nasdaq: NPT) (the “Company” or “Texxon”), a leading provider of supply chain management services in the plastics and chemical industries in East China, today announced the successful completion of key safety and regulatory milestones for its 600,000-ton annual capacity polystyrene (“PS”) manufacturing project (the “Henan Polystyrene Factory”). With these milestones achieved, the Henan Polystyrene Factory has now entered its final stage of operational readiness, and is expected to commence production in early 2026.
Completion of Key Regulatory and Safety Procedures
The Company has substantially completed a comprehensive, months-long pre-commissioning inspection and rectification process, commonly referred to in China’s plastics and chemical industries as the “Three Checks, Four Fixes” program. This process included a systematic review and remediation of design omissions, engineering quality issues, potential safety hazards, incomplete construction work, and operational risks. Each identified issue was addressed through clearly defined corrective measures, assigned responsibilities, implementation timelines, and verification procedures.
This mandatory pre-commissioning program for large-scale chemical manufacturing projects serves as a comprehensive and detailed “health check” prior to trial runs, final user acceptance testing, and formal commissioning. It encompasses end-to-end verification of process design, equipment installation, safety systems, and construction quality to ensure full operational integrity.
In addition, on December 10, 2025, Texxon successfully filed its Major Hazard Installation Safety Assessment Report with the relevant government authorities. The acceptance of this filing confirms that the Henan Polystyrene Factory has satisfied national safety regulatory requirements through comprehensive risk identification, assessment, and the implementation of corresponding control measures.
In parallel with the completion of construction-related safety approvals, Henan Net Plastic Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Texxon, has obtained the required Hazardous Chemicals Operating License from the relevant authorities. This mandatory sales-side license allows the Company to legally conduct the commercial sale and distribution of polystyrene and other regulated chemical products, thereby establishing a comprehensive and compliant regulatory framework encompassing both manufacturing operations and downstream commercial activities.
Management believes that, with these core safety procedures and regulatory approvals completed, the project has effectively transitioned from the construction phase to the commissioning and ramp-up preparation phase. The Company is now positioned to progress toward initial production, revenue generation, and market delivery, with no material regulatory barriers to the planned production.
Enhanced Industrial Synergy and Integrated Operating Model
Upon commissioning, the Henan Polystyrene Factory is expected to enhance Texxon’s industrial synergy by integrating upstream manufacturing capabilities with its existing supply chain and digital distribution platform.
The Company believes that this “self-owned manufacturing + digital supply chain platform” operating model is expected to improve operational control, responsiveness to customer demand, and data-driven supply optimization.
Project Commissioning and Operating Model Transition
Mr. Hui Xu, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Texxon, commented: “The completion of these milestones marks an important transition for the Company. The Henan Polystyrene Factory is expected to change our operating structure -- from a primarily trading-based model to an integrated model combining supply chain services with manufacturing capabilities.
“We believe that following commissioning and ramp-up, the Henan Polystyrene Factory will introduce manufacturing margins into our revenue mix, improve overall gross margin structure and earnings quality, and enhance resilience to market and commodity price volatility. The Henan Polystyrene Factory is intended to support the Company’s long-term earnings and strategic development, rather than a short-term capacity expansion.”
