2026 Kaitai Supplier Collaborative Innovation Exchange Meeting

On March 20th, which coincided with the second day of the second lunar month—the "Longtaitou" (Dragon Raising Its Head) Festival—

on this auspicious day, symbolizing the revival of all things and a promising new beginning,

the 2026 Shandong Kaitai Supplier Collaborative Innovation Exchange Meeting, themed "Focus on Technology, Collaborate on Innovation,"

was held at the Kaitai Intelligent Shot Blasting Technology Research Institute.

This was an in‑depth dialogue centered around intelligent sandblasting robots.

Representatives from over 30 high‑end core suppliers gathered together

to discuss supply chain collaborative innovation and jointly pursue a new chapter of high‑quality development.

Collaborative Innovation – Jointly Advancing Towards the High End of the Value Chain

At the meeting, Zhang Xiao, Chairman of Shandong Kaitai Shot Blasting Robot Co., Ltd., delivered a keynote speech, sharing with the attending guests Kaitai’s development results for 2025. The company achieved steady growth across its main business segments, with remarkable innovation achievements.

In particular, the establishment of Shandong Kaitai Shot Blasting Robot Co., Ltd. represents another important strategic move for Kaitai, opening up a brand‑new growth curve for the company.

Currently, intelligent sandblasting robots have been widely adopted in the high‑end rail transit manufacturing sector and have become the designated equipment for the sandblasting process of high‑speed train carriages for CRRC (China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation). With a key product at the ten‑million‑yuan level, this emerging segment has unlocked a vast blue ocean in intelligent equipment, serving as the most powerful engine driving Kaitai toward the high end of the value chain.

In 2026, Kaitai will focus on three directions: accelerating the market adoption of intelligent sandblasting robots to empower traditional industries with high‑end equipment; deepening its presence in international markets and leveraging its global network to upgrade from selling equipment to selling solutions; and comprehensively deepening service transformation empowered by digital intelligence.

 Taking 2026 as the “Year of Service Theme”, Kaitai aims to create a new “product + service” brand identity and drive value through services.

Gathering Momentum for Win-Win – Empowering the Future of Industry with Intelligence

Kaitai’s development would not be possible without the long-standing, strong support of its partners.

As the intelligent robot strategy advances further, international market expansion deepens, and digital transformation accelerates across the board, Kaitai now stands at a brand‑new starting point for development. To jointly build a more resilient and competitive industrial community, Kaitai puts forward new expectations for its supplier partners:

First, uphold quality as the foundation—ensure that every component stands the test of quality and that every product carries the shared reputation of all partners.  

Second, strengthen collaborative innovation—evolve from “supplier” to “solution participant”, work side by side with Kaitai’s R&D team to tackle challenges, and share the innovation achievements.  

Third, enhance delivery capabilities—keep pace with Kaitai’s international expansion, leveraging flexible manufacturing and efficient delivery to ensure a smooth and unimpeded supply chain.  

Fourth, stay committed to integrity and win‑win cooperation—interact with sincerity, honor commitments, solidify the foundation of the partnership, and broaden the path toward shared success.
