A rapidly growing leading enterprise in metal packing
After 15 years of development, Origen got listed on the small and medium-sized enterprise board in 2012. Mainly dealing in businesses of the R&D, design, production and marketing of metal packing for food and beverage, it is now the leading enterprise of domestic metal packaging industry.

Business turnover of Origen in 2014 reached 5.45 billion yuan, and the net profit was 809 million yuan.

While cementing its status as a leading enterprise, Origen extends its industry chains through mergers and acquisitions, thus providing more comprehensive business support for downstream customers, and facilitating the establishment of a closer relationship with customers.
In 2014, the company acquired four filling enterprises, and extended its business scope to beverage filling. Origen also carried out upstream packaging, design, and consulting businesses, developing its capability of integrated services from packaging design, to can manufacturing and filling. As a result, Origen’s strong ties with customers and ability to develop new customers were further enhanced.
In addition, the company became the second largest shareholder of Yongxin (002014), a leading plastic packaging enterprise, in June 2015, to develop the field of plastic flexible packaging, and achieve alliance between the front runners in metal packing and plastic flexible packaging.
According to the planning, in the next five years, as the company continues to develop its packing business, it will make an appearance in more fields, including packing design, can manufacturing and filling, and channel management through the denotative implementation of mergers and acquisitions, so as to develop itself into a provider of integrated solutions to packing issues and comprehensive packing services with the whole-industry-chain service ability.
