Recently, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission announced the list of recognized Shandong Engineering Research Centers in 2021, and the "Automotive Filter Paper Shandong Engineering Research Center" of Marriott Group Longde Company was honored to be on the list. The engineering research center was identified based on the preliminary review and recommendation by the Linqu County Development and Reform Bureau, and the comprehensive evaluation and credit verification by the provincial and municipal Development and Reform Commission and relevant units. The successful shortlisting of "Automotive Filter Paper Shandong Engineering Research Center" is a major leap in the construction of Longde Company's technological innovation platform. It marks that Longde Company's filter material products have formed their own advantages and characteristics in the field of automotive industry filter paper and have relatively high standards. It has high scientific and technological research and development capabilities and will further promote the core technology of automotive filter paper, improve the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and provide strong process and technical support for large-scale production of products.
In recent years, Longde Company has thoroughly implemented the innovation-driven development strategy, attached great importance to the supporting role of scientific and technological innovation in corporate development, continuously increased investment in research and development, strengthened the construction of scientific and technological platforms, introduced the world's top testing and inspection equipment, and established a centralized A multi-functional comprehensive laboratory that integrates raw material analysis, finished product testing, and new product research and development. Improve the innovation mechanism, increase the introduction and training of technical talents, and form the "Weifang Automotive Filter Paper Engineering Technology Research Center", "Weifang Engineering Laboratory", "Weifang One Enterprise One Technology R&D Center" and "Weifang Automotive Industry Filter Material Key Experiment" Provincial and municipal innovation platform systems such as "Weifang Industrial Design Center" and "Weifang Industrial Design Center". Through independent research and development, industry-university-research cooperation, introduction, digestion and absorption, and technical cooperation with enterprises, based on the cutting-edge automotive filter paper technology and the requirements of national environmental protection policies, the automotive filter paper developed has high filtration accuracy, large dust holding capacity, water resistance, and water resistance. Among them, the independently developed "oil-water separation fuel composite filter paper" and "low-temperature rapid solidification oil filter paper" have been identified as "internationally leading" by authoritative papermaking experts, and the "water-resistant and flame-retardant filter paper" has filled the domestic gap. The quality and market share of its leading products, oil filter paper and fuel filter paper, have always ranked first in the country, and are exported to European and American markets. It has become the only domestic global supplier to the German MANN+HUMMEL Group, the world's largest filter manufacturer. It has won the titles of "Shandong Province High-tech Enterprise", "Shandong Gazelle Enterprise", "Shandong Province Specialized and Special New Enterprise", "Shandong Province Manufacturing Individual Champion" and "Weifang City Invisible Champion". It has obtained 15 national invention patents and more than 30 utility model patents, and participated in the formulation of one national standard for air filter paper and two industry standards for automobile filters.
Technology is the primary productive force, and innovation is the primary driving force. In the future, Longde Company will continue to increase investment in technological innovation and help enterprises achieve higher-quality development through a complete technological innovation system.
