ORG reports new two-piece output milestone

ORG‘s two-piece can and filling business segment has reported a major milestone: the Qingdao facility’s single production line for 330ml standard cans has reached a daily output of over 4.2 million units, an all-time high for the division. This result wasn’t the product of any single initiative, but rather the convergence of lean manufacturing, technology upgrades, supply chain coordination and a highly engaged workforce.

Since 2024, the Qingdao facility has been on a focused mission to sharpen line efficiency and expand production capacity.

The technical team moved quickly to install and commission equipment transferred from the Foshan plant’s Line 3. Through in-house modifications, they gave legacy equipment the ability to produce 500ml can formats. Their independent retrofit of the drawing machine alone saved over one million yuan in upgrade costs, cut the ramp-up timeline considerably, and helped develop a stronger bench of engineering talent in the process.

The Equipment and Power Department improved its preventive maintenance approach, establishing consistent daily, weekly and monthly inspection cycles on a closed-loop schedule. The results were tangible: equipment downtime dropped to its lowest levels yet, production lines ran with greater stability, and overall equipment effectiveness climbed noticeably year-over-year.

The Production Department worked to streamline workflows on high-speed lines, clarifying roles and standardising operating procedures. Even under the simultaneous pressures of higher speeds and tighter quality requirements, operational precision improved. Rising output numbers had a visible effect on team energy, and that momentum ultimately carried the facility to a new divisional record.

The Quality Management Department introduced real-time monitoring at critical control points, ensuring that customer specifications were met consistently throughout production. In 2025, customer complaints dropped 33% year-over-year, a clear signal that the facility isn’t just producing more, but producing better.

Behind every high-output day is a supply chain that doesn’t miss a beat. The Qingdao facility achieved seamless coordination across procurement, logistics, and production, keeping materials flowing in and finished goods moving out, with no bottlenecks in either direction.

With order volumes from clients like Tsingtao Brewery continuing to grow, the Qingdao facility didn’t wait to be caught off guard. Early demand forecasting and fast operational responses meant that capacity was ready when the market called for it, turning production strength into a genuine commercial advantage and creating a healthy rhythm where output and sales reinforce each other.

Group chairman, Zhou Yunjie, has often drawn on ice hockey as a lens for business: a sport that demands endurance, tight teamwork, and the willingness to take on direct competition without flinching. That philosophy was very much in evidence during the Qingdao facility’s record push. Leadership from the two-piece can and filling division didn’t manage the situation from a distance. They were on-site, making real-time calls, cutting through constraints and redirecting resources where they were needed most.

The path forward is clear. Lean management, digital tools and cross-functional collaboration will continue to evolve, while the habits of pushing limits and staying relentless become simply the way things are done here. With that foundation in place, the Qingdao facility is well-positioned to keep contributing meaningfully to ORG’s broader ambitions.
