On the evening of December 30, 2025, PONEY’s conference hall was transformed into a scene of radiant illumination and profound warmth, marking the commencement of the company’s much-anticipated annual in-house New Year gala. This cherished event, a longstanding tradition within the corporate culture, unfolded as a heartfelt feast characterized by an intimate, family-style ambiance. It successfully gathered the entirety of PONEY’s dedicated workforce, alongside a number of their supportive family members, creating a rare and valuable moment of shared celebration. United in purpose and spirit, colleagues and loved ones came together in a convivial atmosphere to collectively reflect upon the milestones and accomplishments of the past year, to warmly embrace the promising dawn of the approaching new year, and to forge an even stronger sense of solidarity. This unity, cultivated amidst shared laughter and genuine joy, stands as a powerful force destined to propel the entire team forward on its continuing journey of progress and innovation.

The gala commenced with a moment of respectful attention as all attendees rose to listen to an inspiring address delivered by Mr. Zhao Guozhi, the company’s Executive President. Mr. Zhao commenced his speech by extending his most sincere gratitude and heartfelt holiday wishes to every employee for their unwavering dedication and tireless efforts exerted throughout the past year. He also offered profound thanks to the family members present for their steadfast and understanding support, which serves as a crucial foundation for the employees’ professional endeavors. Mr. Zhao elaborated that the very tradition of hosting this internal gala is deliberately designed to transcend formal workplace hierarchies and break down interpersonal barriers. Its core purpose is to enable each and every member of the PONEY team to experience firsthand the genuine warmth and close-knit bond of the PONEY family. He emphasized that this sense of belonging, fostered through unity and mutual friendship, constitutes the essential spiritual cornerstone that has consistently propelled the company’s stable and resilient development over the years.

Proceeding to review PONEY’s trajectory throughout 2025, Mr. Zhao provided a detailed highlight of the collective endeavor and strategic resilience demonstrated by the team in navigating a complex and often turbulent global economic landscape. He pointed out that, despite confronting intense market competition and undergoing rapid transformations within the industrial welding equipment sector, the company executed a precise and focused investment strategy. An allocation of 6.5 million RMB was directed throughout the year towards initiatives aimed at elevating core organizational capabilities, thereby ensuring a path of steady and sustainable growth. Within the crucial field of research and development, Mr. Zhao commended the team for its deep commitment to intensive and pioneering research. This dedication culminated in the successful development and launch of several new patented products, notably including high-efficiency MIG welding machines engineered for demanding heavy-duty industrial applications. These technological advancements have not only served to significantly enrich PONEY’s overall product portfolio and extend its market reach into strategic regions such as South America and Europe but have also fundamentally reinforced its core competitiveness through demonstrable technological superiority. Consequently, these achievements have elevated the brand’s influence within the global industrial welding market and established a robust foundation for further market expansion planned for 2026.

Regarding advancements in internal operations, Mr. Zhao detailed the company’s continuous efforts in management upgrading. This involved the ongoing optimization of the established ISO 9001 quality management system, supplemented by on-site guidance from external professional teams. A modern, streamlined management model has been rigorously implemented across the entire operational chain—from initial procurement and production processes through to final delivery. This comprehensive initiative has been instrumental in building a more efficient, agile, and highly professional management team. The tangible outcomes of this focus have not only included a marked improvement in overall production efficiency but have also provided a reliable guarantee for the delivery timelines and product quality standards that customers value most.

Mr. Zhao placed particular emphasis on a guiding principle central to PONEY’s philosophy: “Only by consistently thinking from our customers’ perspective can we accurately identify and respond to their primary concerns, develop practical and highly effective solutions, and ultimately create maximum value for them. This customer-centric approach is precisely the core value that underpins and directs all our business operations.” Under the guidance of this fundamental belief, the company remains steadfast in its commitment to prioritizing the provision of cost-effective products and the delivery of ever-greater value to its clientele.

In a stirring conclusion to his address, Mr. Zhao issued a rallying call to all employees. He urged everyone to work hand in hand with renewed vigor to deepen market penetration, overcome forthcoming challenges, and scale new heights of achievement. The collective goal, he stated, is to continuously elevate PONEY’s stature as a recognized leader among welding equipment manufacturers worldwide. As his speech drew to a close, Mr. Zhao raised his glass in a symbolic gesture, inviting all present to join him in a toast. This act officially inaugurated the gala’s festivities, ushering in an evening filled with a warm and lively atmosphere.

The ensuing dinner segment was characterized by relaxed and open interaction. Colleagues conversed freely, sharing reflections on work and life, and offering mutual toasts in a spirit of joy and camaraderie. Employees widely expressed that such an internal gathering is immensely valuable. They noted that it serves not only as a meaningful affirmation of their collective hard work and contributions over the past year but also as a tangible reflection of the company’s deep care for their well-being as individuals beyond their professional roles. Many voiced their resolve to return to their duties with even greater enthusiasm and dedication in the future, expressing a firm commitment to grow and develop in tandem with the company, thereby jointly propelling the PONEY brand toward an increasingly bright and prosperous future.

This warmly celebrated family-style gala thus drew a fitting and perfect conclusion to the year 2025. For PONEY, an established leader in welding equipment manufacturing, a cohesive, motivated, and professionally skilled team is undeniably the fundamental cornerstone that ensures consistent, high-quality product output. Indeed, every reliable welding machine delivered to a customer’s site embodies the meticulous dedication and expertise of PONEY’s engineers and production staff. The successful event has effectively infused a sense of warm yet formidable motivation into PONEY’s collective spirit as it embarks on its new annual journey. By significantly elevating team morale and reinforcing shared purpose, the gala has undoubtedly contributed powerful momentum to support the company’s sustainable and ambitious development in the years that lie ahead.
