In the spring of 2005, on a barren plot of land in the Suqian Economic Development Zone, the founding team of Aozhong Glass, led by Mr. Zhang Jianguo, dug the first shovelful of earth. Zhang, a former technical backbone from a state-owned enterprise turned entrepreneur, poured all his savings into a glass production line that few believed in at the time, driven by his dream of “making high-quality glass of our own for China.”
“At that time, everyone said we were crazy,” Zhang recalls. “Suqian had no glass industry foundation, but what we saw was exactly the potential of this blank market.” In the early days, the team squeezed into makeshift prefab housing, and the technicians often worked through the night to debug the equipment. On March 18, 2006, when the first piece of crystal-clear float glass slowly came off the line, the eyes of everyone in the workshop turned red with emotion.
