On the tenth day of the first lunar month in 2026, before the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year had completely dissipated, SHLED welcomed its annual important moment - the groundbreaking ceremony. On this day, all employees of the company gathered together to kick off the New Year's work with laughter and joy. As a company specializing in outdoor building facade lighting solutions, SHLED takes "lighting up buildings and illuminating the future" as its mission. On this special day, we not only reviewed the gains of the past year, but also injected full vitality and expectations for the new year. The groundbreaking ceremony is not just a formality, but also a vivid reflection of our team cohesion and corporate culture, allowing everyone to feel the warmth of home and the motivation to move forward.
Early in the morning, colorful lights and red lanterns were hung in front of the company gate, creating a festive atmosphere. The ceremony started at exactly 9 o'clock, starting with a speech by our company boss. The boss reviewed the bits and pieces of 2025 and emphasized that it will be a crucial year for SHLED to accelerate its development. His words were simple yet inspiring, and everyone's eyes were full of determination and enthusiasm.
Next, it was the highlight of the groundbreaking ceremony - the landlady distributed red envelopes for everyone to start work. Although small, red envelopes carry the company's care and blessings for its employees. Every employee showed a happy smile when they received the red envelope. This is not just a material incentive, but also an emotional bond that allows everyone to feel the warmth of a rising family. After the red envelope distribution is over, there is an exciting ribbon cutting session. The company leaders held gold scissors and cut red silk amidst the joyful applause, symbolizing the smooth start of the new year's career. After the ribbon cutting ceremony, everyone took a group photo with the God of Wealth. The God of Wealth held gold ingots with a smile on his face, as if foreshadowing the rolling wealth of 2026.
The climax of the ceremony was a group photo of all employees. Nearly a hundred employees of the company lined up neatly, with the logo of Shenghong Optoelectronics in the background. The photographer pressed the shutter button and captured this warm and united moment. This big photo is not only a commemoration of the start of work, but also a symbol of team spirit. It reminds us that no matter what challenges we face, SHLED people are always one family, moving forward together.
After the groundbreaking ceremony, the company prepared a sumptuous meal for everyone. The long table was filled with tempting food: fresh fruits, crispy chicken wings that were golden and tempting, various cold dishes that were delicious in color, aroma, and taste, and layered cakes that emitted the temptation of cream. Everyone gathered together, chatting and laughing while enjoying the delicious food. This kick-off meal not only filled our stomachs, but also brought us closer together, allowing everyone to welcome the work of the new year in a full state.
After eating and drinking, the company also organized a fun game segment, further igniting the atmosphere on site. The game includes "guessing idioms" and "puns", and everyone actively participates. Those who answer correctly receive small gifts. During the game, some people answer quickly, while others discuss enthusiastically. The entire venue is filled with laughter and competition. This is not just entertainment, but also a clever way of team building to help new and old employees quickly integrate and enhance their sense of belonging.
The successful conclusion of the groundbreaking ceremony marks the official start of SHLED' new journey in 2026. Looking back at the past year, we have made significant progress in technological innovation: the brightness of the flexible mesh screen is as high as 6000nits, the waterproof level of the underwater grid screen is IP68, and the energy efficiency of the line lights and wall washers is industry-leading. These achievements are inseparable from the hard work of every employee. In the new year, we will continue to deeply cultivate the field of outdoor building facade lighting, launch more intelligent products, strengthen cooperation with global customers, expand markets in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia Pacific, and help more construction projects achieve the perfect combination of "invisible aesthetics+dynamic lighting". At the same time, the company will increase research and development investment, promote green and low-carbon technologies, and ensure that products are stable and reliable in extreme environments.
As the boss said in his speech, "2026 is a year of both opportunities and challenges. But we have the confidence and ability to light up more buildings and illuminate a wider future." Although the groundbreaking ceremony has ended, this joy and motivation will accompany us throughout the year. Thank you to every employee for their participation, and also thank you to global customers for their trust and support. Let's work together and create new brilliance for SHLED!
