Among the winners this year are industry leaders including China Telecommunications Corporation Limited, CCB International (Holdings) Limited, Legend Holdings Corporation Limited, etc. Since it was listed on HKEx in 2009, CPMC's capital position has gotten stronger and stronger and reported steady business growth.

"This award is of great significance to the Group as it fully exemplifies CPMC's leading position and widespread influence in the Chinese packaging industry," said Mr. Zhang Xin, Executive Director, Chairman of the Board and General Manager of CPMC. "In 2015, the global economy underwent drastic adjustments with the market saw severe fluctuation. As the Chinese economy moves into a new normal with growth of downstream demand slowing and raw material prices trending down, the problem of excess capacity in the domestic metal packaging industry becomes apparent and players are facing more intense competition. As the leading manufacturer in the industry, CPMC has been active in dealing with challenges like, in November last year, it brought in industrial capital holdings, making its first step towards embracing mixed-ownership. Moreover, the Group has introduced an employee stock ownership scheme as a means to retain talent essential to its development. It believes the initiative, which aligns staff interests with those of shareholders, will invigorate the Group's market operation and help drive long-term sustainable business development of the Group. Looking ahead, we will continue to enhance quality and efficiency, focus on research and innovation to build competitive differentials and also actively seize market integration opportunities. At the same time, we will step up cooperation with other industry players and pursuing M&A, and also take our mixed-ownership reforms to greater depth, thereby see the Group develop into a leading international integrated packaging products manufacturer."
