In Shouguang, a major vegetable production base in east China's Shandong province, Shandong Lisente Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. (Lisente) was busy ramping up production to fulfill its orders. Outside the company's workshop, a line of container trucks loaded with greenhouse materials were ready to depart. Inside, intelligent robotic arms were swinging into action, welding silver-white galvanized steel into standardized components.
"These materials will be shipped abroad in just a few days. We must keep the margin of error within millimeters," said Wang Shoubo, chairman of the company. Under Wang's guidance for the past 15 years, Lisente has expanded greenhouse technologies in Shouguang to 29 countries and established 262 agricultural parks worldwide. "We provide full-chain services for our international clients, including site selection, greenhouse construction, planting, sales, and training," Wang explained.
In the company's materials laboratory, engineers were performing weather resistance tests on newly developed nano-coated films. "This material can withstand extremely high temperatures and last three times longer than standard films. It will be exported to Saudi Arabia," Wang said.
Stepping out of the lab, he picked up an arched steel beam. "This beam can enhance wind resistance to Level 12, making it very popular in wind-prone Central Asian countries," he said.
