Recently, Hunan Yueyang Sanxiang Chemical Co., Ltd. held a special supply and marketing coordination meeting to break through bottlenecks in the supply and marketing links, streamline coordination mechanisms, and consolidate the foundation for the high-quality development of the enterprise. Company leaders, personnel from sales, finance and other departments, as well as relevant business backbones gathered together to discuss and reach consensus on three core topics: production and sales balance, standardized contract signing, and fund management, so as to promote the quality improvement and standardization of supply and marketing work.          Founded in 1999, Sanxiang Chemical specializes in the production of inorganic salts such as sodium metabisulfite and anhydrous sodium sulfite. Adhering to the philosophy of "Strictness, Pragmatism, Pioneering and Innovation", the company has deeply cultivated the entire industrial chain, with its products exported to more than 40 countries and regions. At present, the chemical industry is facing a complex market environment, and issues such as supply and demand, contracts and funds have affected the steady development of enterprises. This meeting is not only a pragmatic measure to cope with challenges, but also an important move to promote refined management and achieve sustainable development.                                                                                           Focus on Production and Sales Balance to Unblock the "Main Artery" of Coordinated Development          Production and sales balance is the key to the virtuous cycle of an enterprise and the maximization of benefits. At the meeting, the production and sales departments conducted in-depth communication on production capacity, inventory and market demand, sorted out problems such as poor connection, and resolved to establish a supply and marketing coordination team and add production coordinators to ensure standardized and scientific product delivery.         The meeting clarified that the production department should optimize production plans and allocate production capacity in combination with sales orders to ensure that product supply matches demand; the sales department should communicate with customers to confirm delivery time, feedback market dynamics, coordinate with inventory management, promote the rational circulation of products, and realize a virtuous cycle of "production based on sales and sales promoted by production". Standardize Contract Signing to Build a "Firewall" for Risk Prevention and Control            Standardized contract signing is crucial to preventing operational risks and safeguarding corporate rights and interests. In light of industry characteristics, the meeting made comprehensive arrangements for contract standardization and performance management.           The meeting required that all supply and marketing contracts must abide by the principles of legality and compliance with clear rights and obligations, adopt standardized templates and define core clauses; strengthen contract review with special personnel responsible for preliminary and re-examination, verify contract standardization and performance capacity, clarify payment time, and prevent potential risks. Cross-border contracts shall comply with international treaties to ensure trade compliance. Meanwhile, ledgers shall be established to track the whole process of performance and protect the rights and interests of both parties. Strengthen Fund Management to Hold the "Lifeline" of Steady Operation          Funds are the lifeblood of enterprise operation, and standardized fund management is an important prerequisite for the steady development of enterprises. In view of the asset-intensive characteristics of the chemical industry, the meeting specified strengthening measures for fund budgeting, revenue and expenditure management, and risk prevention and control. The meeting required the finance department to take the lead in improving the fund budgeting system, rationally allocate funds in combination with production, sales and contract performance to improve utilization efficiency; strictly implement the revenue and expenditure approval process to prevent fund risks; strengthen invoice management and accounts payable control, standardize processes and improve efficiency to achieve a balance of fund revenues and expenditures. Unite Efforts for a New Journey, Strive Collaboratively for a New Chapter            This meeting clarified the priorities of supply and marketing work, streamlined the inter-departmental coordination mechanism, and laid a solid foundation for the follow-up work. In the future, taking this meeting as an opportunity, Sanxiang Chemical will continue to optimize production and sales collaboration, standardize contract management, strengthen fund control, improve the quality and efficiency of supply and marketing work, advance steadily towards the established development vision, and join hands with global partners for win-win results.

Recently, driven by the combined impact of multiple factors including the high volatility of international crude oil prices, the escalation of geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East, and expectations of domestic spring maintenance, the domestic chemical market has ushered in a new round of price fluctuations. The prices of various chemical products have shown significant volatility and an overall upward trend, posing certain challenges to the operation and development of upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry. Hunan Yueyang Sanxiang Chemical Co., Ltd. closely monitors market dynamics, proactively judges industry trends, takes proactive and diversified measures to calmly respond to price fluctuations, ensures the stability of production and operation, and effectively safeguards the rights and interests of customers and the sound development of the industry. It is reported that the current price fluctuation of chemical products is characterized by "large gains, wide coverage, and rapid transmission", with the core driving force stemming from the dual squeeze on the cost and supply sides. Since early March, international crude oil prices have continued to rise, with a maximum monthly increase of over 39%. As a core raw material for the chemical industry, the high operation of crude oil prices has directly driven a substantial increase in the costs of the entire industrial chain, forming an obvious cost transmission effect. At the same time, the escalation of geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East has led to a tight global chemical supply chain, the obstruction of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and a significant reduction in raw material supply in the Middle East. Coupled with the expectation of domestic spring chemical plant maintenance, it has further exacerbated the imbalance between market supply and demand, driving the prices of various chemical products to rise one after another, with the monthly increase of some varieties exceeding 70%. As an enterprise specializing in the production of inorganic salts such as sodium metabisulfite, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, and manganese carbonate, the prices of Sanxiang Chemical's core products have shown periodic fluctuations under the influence of the overall market environment. Among them, sodium metabisulfite, the company's flagship product, has seen adjustments within a reasonable range driven by the price increase of upstream raw materials; the prices of products such as sodium sulfite and sodium bisulfite have also been affected by the transmission on the cost side, showing a slight upward trend. This price fluctuation has not only affected the enterprise's short-term cost control but also had a certain impact on the procurement plans of downstream application fields such as textiles, food, environmental protection, and pharmaceuticals. Some downstream small and medium-sized enterprises are facing difficulties in the transmission of cost pressure, and their procurement rhythm has become cautious. Faced with the complex and volatile market situation, Sanxiang Chemical has quickly activated a market emergency response mechanism and taken multiple measures to resolve the impact of fluctuations, demonstrating the stability and responsibility of a mature enterprise. In terms of cost control, the company relies on the supply chain advantages accumulated over years of industry experience, optimizes raw material procurement strategies, and establishes long-term and stable cooperative relationships with core suppliers, effectively reducing the cost pressure caused by raw material price fluctuations and minimizing the impact of price fluctuations on production and operation. In terms of production guarantee, the company adheres to the production bottom line, optimizes production processes, improves production efficiency, ensures the stable supply of core products such as sodium metabisulfite and sodium sulfite, avoids further exacerbating market fluctuations due to supply shortages, and fully meets the rigid procurement needs of downstream customers. In terms of customer service, Sanxiang Chemical adheres to the business philosophy of "integrity and win-win cooperation, joint development". It promptly synchronizes market price fluctuation information to upstream and downstream customers, takes the initiative to communicate the logic of price adjustments, patiently answers customer questions, and provides flexible procurement plans based on the procurement scale and cooperation cycle of different customers, minimizing the impact of price fluctuations on customers' operation and winning extensive understanding and support from customers. At the same time, the company continues to increase investment in technology research and development, optimize the product structure, and enhance product added value. Through technological innovation, energy conservation and consumption reduction, it further improves the core competitiveness of products, hedges the operational pressure brought by price fluctuations, and realizes the coordinated development of the enterprise and customers. Regarding the follow-up trend of the current market price fluctuations, relevant persons in charge of Sanxiang Chemical stated that the current price fluctuations in the chemical market are mainly driven by cost-side factors and supply-side shortages. In the short term, the market will remain in a high volatility pattern. However, with changes in the geopolitical situation, the end of spring maintenance, and the recovery of downstream demand, the magnitude of price fluctuations is expected to gradually slow down. The company will continue to closely monitor international crude oil prices, the geopolitical situation, and changes in domestic market supply and demand, strengthen market research and judgment, flexibly adjust business strategies, continuously improve supply chain management, and strengthen cost control capabilities. At the same time, it will continue to deepen the core product field, improve product quality and service levels, respond to market changes with a stable operational posture, and contribute to the stable development of the industry. Having been deeply engaged in the industry for more than 20 years, Sanxiang Chemical has always taken stable operation and integrity as its core. With reliable product quality, a complete supply chain system, and efficient emergency response capabilities, it has maintained a stable development trend in all previous market fluctuations. In the future, the company will continue to adhere to the original aspiration of industry, focus on the development of its main business, continuously improve the enterprise's risk resistance and core competitiveness, work hand in hand with upstream and downstream customers to overcome the difficulties of market fluctuations, and jointly promote the high-quality and sustainable development of the inorganic salt chemical industry.
