The Year of the Horse symbolizes energy, momentum, and forward progress. On the first working week of 2026, Foshan Xingmingda Automatic Woodworking Machinery Co., Ltd. welcomed the new production season with a celebration that reflected exactly those qualities—an opening dinner filled with barbecue, whole roasted lamb, laughter, and renewed determination.
More than a festive gathering, the event marked the official launch of our new working year. As a manufacturer specializing in hot-melt coating machines, wrapping machines, slotting machines, hot glue wrapping systems, cold glue wrapping systems, and PUR hot melt laminating machines, Xingmingda understands that strong machines begin with strong teams. Every Automatic Lamination Machine, every Fully Automatic Film Laminator, and every system of High Speed Laminating Equipment we produce carries the effort of engineers, technicians, and service teams working in unison.
The Horse Year opening feast was our way of fueling that unity.
A Ceremony of Momentum and New Beginnings
The factory courtyard was transformed into a lively open-air celebration space. Red lanterns symbolizing prosperity were hung along the workshop entrance, while banners featuring the words “Energy, Precision, Progress” framed the stage area. In the center stood the highlight of the evening: a whole roasted lamb slowly turning over charcoal fire, surrounded by grills sizzling with skewers of meat and vegetables.
The aroma filled the air long before the official speeches began.
Before the feast, our management team gathered employees in front of the production workshop. The general manager delivered a short but powerful message:
“In the Year of the Horse, we move faster—but we move with control. Just like every Automatic Lamination Machine we build, progress must be steady, precise, and powerful.”
This symbolic “opening ignition” ceremony included lighting a traditional fire pot, representing the spark of innovation that drives our Digital Laminating Machine development and the continuous improvement of our Commercial Laminating Machine production lines.
Food, Team Spirit, and Shared Ambition
The decision to host a barbecue and whole roasted lamb feast was not random. In 2026, the trend of “festival + food integration” continues to grow across industries, emphasizing experience, authenticity, and connection. We wanted our team to feel both celebration and belonging.
As skewers turned and the roasted lamb was carved, conversations flowed naturally between departments—design engineers discussing structural refinements for a Fully Automatic Film Laminator, sales managers sharing overseas feedback about High Speed Laminating Equipment, and after-sales technicians exchanging installation experiences related to an Automatic Lamination Machine delivered just before the holiday.
One production technician commented:
“When we sit together like this, it reminds me that behind every Digital Laminating Machine we ship, there is a team effort—not just one department.”
Another young engineer added:
“This year, I want to improve the energy efficiency of our Commercial Laminating Machine systems. Tonight gives me the motivation to aim higher.”
People First: The Foundation of Strong Machinery
At Xingmingda, our philosophy has always been clear—technology grows from people.
Founded in 2004 in Lunjiao, Shunde, the well-known hub of woodworking machinery manufacturing in China, our company has steadily expanded its capabilities. From early wrapping systems to today’s advanced Automatic Lamination Machine solutions, growth has been driven by continuous learning and talent cultivation.
We invest in:
Technical training for optimizing the performance of a Fully Automatic Film Laminator
Process workshops improving stability in High Speed Laminating Equipment
Software control refinement for each Digital Laminating Machine
International standards training for every exported Commercial Laminating Machine
The Horse Year feast also included a recognition segment where outstanding team members from engineering, production, and after-sales departments received awards for innovation and service excellence.
Applause filled the courtyard as certificates were handed out, reinforcing the belief that behind every reliable Automatic Lamination Machine stands a dedicated individual.
Linking Celebration to Productivity
Energy without direction is wasted. The Year of the Horse represents dynamic movement—but in machinery manufacturing, movement must be precise.
Just as fire slowly roasts a whole lamb to perfection, careful calibration ensures a Fully Automatic Film Laminator operates with stable temperature and pressure control. Just as teamwork ensures the barbecue runs smoothly, coordinated effort ensures that our High Speed Laminating Equipment maintains consistent output under demanding production schedules.
The symbolism resonated deeply with the team.
During the closing toast, the operations director summarized:
“Our Automatic Lamination Machine lines are stronger this year. Our Digital Laminating Machine technology is advancing. Our Commercial Laminating Machine exports are growing. But the real horsepower comes from our people.”
Corporate Strength and Forward Vision
Today, Xingmingda’s product portfolio supports customers across furniture manufacturing, decorative panel processing, architectural interior production, and export-oriented factories. Each Automatic Lamination Machine is designed with durability and precision in mind. Each Fully Automatic Film Laminator reflects practical engineering improvements based on customer feedback.
Our High Speed Laminating Equipment lines continue to evolve for higher efficiency and lower energy consumption. Meanwhile, every Digital Laminating Machine integrates smarter control systems, and each Commercial Laminating Machine undergoes strict quality inspection before shipment.
The Horse Year marks a new phase of refinement, not just expansion.
Looking Ahead: Harnessing Horsepower for 2026 and Beyond
As the evening concluded, fireworks briefly illuminated the factory sky. Employees gathered for a final group photo in front of the production hall—a hall where, the next morning, assembly would resume on a new Automatic Lamination Machine order bound for overseas delivery.
The Horse Year calls for vitality, discipline, and forward momentum. In 2026, Xingmingda aims to:
Enhance intelligent automation across every Fully Automatic Film Laminator
Increase efficiency standards for all High Speed Laminating Equipment
Upgrade control interfaces in the Digital Laminating Machine series
Strengthen global support systems for each Commercial Laminating Machine
Most importantly, we will continue placing people at the center of progress.
Conclusion
The Horse Year Kick-off Feast was more than an opening dinner. It was a declaration of intent—a reminder that passion fuels precision, and unity powers innovation.
As the grills cooled and the roasted lamb was shared, what remained was not just satisfaction, but shared ambition. With renewed energy, Xingmingda enters 2026 ready to build stronger Automatic Lamination Machine systems, refine every Fully Automatic Film Laminator, push the limits of High Speed Laminating Equipment, optimize each Digital Laminating Machine, and deliver reliable Commercial Laminating Machine solutions to partners worldwide.
In the Year of the Horse, we move forward—faster, stronger, and together.
