Lights illuminate our original aspirations as we unite to embark on a new journey. The 2026 Hangzhou Saint-Gobain Lantern Festival Annual Meeting concluded successfully amidst laughter and joy. Looking back on the past year, every achievement reflects the dedicated efforts and outstanding contributions of all colleagues. Yet this gathering was not merely a heartfelt reflection on 2025—it marked a resolute departure toward 2026.
Employee representatives took the stage one by one, sharing their growth and insights from 2025 while outlining goals and directions for 2026. The nearly 90-minute session embodied the dedication and responsibility of every Sangobuild team member.
General Manager Shen Jinli delivered a comprehensive review of the company's achievements in 2025, reflecting on successes and analyzing shortcomings to chart a clear course for the coming year.

At 5:00 PM, after a brief break, the warm and welcoming dinner commenced at 5:30 PM. Gathered together around the table, everyone raised their glasses in toast. Amidst delicious food and laughter, they shed their fatigue and shared a moment of togetherness.
The lantern riddle game kicked off the festivities, immersing everyone in the charm of Lantern Festival culture through engaging interaction. The riddles spanned word puzzles, idioms, industry trivia, and everyday knowledge, offering a mix of easy and challenging clues. Participants eagerly racked their brains and expanded their thinking, occasionally bursting out with flashes of insight as they solved the riddles to claim their lucky red envelopes.
The arrow-throwing game was equally lively. After the staff explained the rules, everyone eagerly lined up to take their turn. Holding bamboo arrows, they stood behind the designated line, held their breath, aimed at the pot's opening, and threw with all their might. The arrows traced elegant arcs through the air—some landed precisely in the pot with a crisp clink, while others grazed the rim, drawing sighs of regret. Whether novices trying it for the first time or skilled veterans, each throw embodied the auspicious meaning of “shooting for good fortune.”
The thrilling lucky draw segment brought the atmosphere to a fever pitch as first, second, and third prizes along with lucky draw winners were announced one after another, with waves of excitement and cheers filling the air.
At 8:30 PM, the annual meeting concluded successfully amidst warmth and emotion. For two decades, we have weathered storms together; now, we join hands to build a future and embark on a new journey.
In 2026, let us carry our original aspirations as our torch and our hard work as our pen, continuing to write more brilliant chapters in the roofing materials industry!
