As the comprehensive strategic cooperation between China and Russia continues to improve and upgrade, economic and trade cooperation is expanding from energy and commodities to in-depth areas such as intelligent manufacturing and high-end equipment. As a representative of Chinese enterprises that are deeply involved in new energy equipment and grinding technology, Yifu Intelligent is keenly seizing the historic opportunity of Sino-Russian cooperation and starting an in-depth layout in the Russian market with a forward-looking vision.

Yifu's business covers the fields of new energy material equipment and coating grinding equipment, and its products cover a full range from laboratories to large-scale production lines. In its strategy to enter the Russian market, Yifu has actively participated in the 2026 Russian Coatings Exhibition, demonstrating advanced grinding technology solutions to local Russian companies and international customers, and has received high recognition and widespread cooperation intentions. At the CIBF2026 New Energy Exhibition, many international customers came to the booth for exchanges and consultations, and several Russian customers also came to Yifu's Dongguan Songshan Lake headquarters for exchanges and inspections. Russia's paint and coatings market is one of the fastest growing and most promising markets in the world. It is going through a critical window period for industrial upgrading and domestic substitution, and there is strong demand for intelligent high-end equipment.

In terms of technical strength, as a pioneer in the field of new energy equipment, Yifu's sanding products are internationally competitive in terms of efficiency, energy consumption and performance indicators. In terms of policy dividends, the China-Russia heads of state talks once again clearly supported the expansion of cooperation in new areas such as digital economy and technological innovation, creating an unprecedented business environment for Chinese enterprises to develop localized in Russia. In terms of internationalization strategy, Yifu is actively preparing for the Russian office and is committed to improving the after-sales service system to ensure that localized high-quality services are extended to Russia and set a benchmark for high-quality services for Chinese high-end equipment overseas.

Standing at a historical point when Sino-Russian relations have entered a new stage of more promising and faster development, the strategic guidance of the two heads of state is injecting strong impetus into enterprises to create new situations, and is also paving the way for more high value-added, high-tech Chinese intelligent products to expand into the vast Russian market.
