SEPPES Chairman Yang Yuanjia Featured in Suzhou Daily: From Soldier to Global Industrial Door Leader

September 3, 2025 – Suzhou, China – Mr. Yang Yuanjia, Chairman of SEPPES (Suzhou) Door Industry Co., Ltd. and Suzhou SEPPES Holdings Group, was recently interviewed by Suzhou Daily. A former serviceman turned entrepreneur, Mr. Yang shared his reflections on national pride, business growth, and SEPPES's mission to contribute to society through industrial innovation.

As a veteran, Mr. Yang attributes much of his leadership style to his years in the military, where resilience, discipline, and execution were deeply ingrained. These values became the foundation of SEPPES when he founded the company in 2011 in Suzhou.

"The spirit of perseverance I gained in the army is now part of SEPPES's DNA," he said.

From Suzhou to the World

Over the past 14 years, SEPPES has grown from a local manufacturer to a global supplier of intelligent industrial doors. With support from Suzhou's strong business environment and cross-border e-commerce initiatives, SEPPES now exports to more than 70 countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Today, SEPPES products are trusted by over 5,600 companies worldwide, including more than 70 Fortune Global 500 enterprises.

"This is both a result of our military-born spirit and a vivid example of how Chinese brands can succeed globally," Mr. Yang noted with pride.

Innovation and Digital Transformation

SEPPES's rapid international growth has been powered by digital innovation. By adopting AI and big data analytics, the company has enhanced operational efficiency, accurately tracked global market demand, and maintained a leading position in digital transformation within its industry.

This model—transforming military discipline into business competitiveness—has positioned SEPPES as one of the leading brands in the intelligent industrial door sector.

Commitment to Quality and Responsibility

Beyond business growth, Mr. Yang highlighted the company's strong sense of responsibility. SEPPES products adhere to strict quality standards and are used in critical industrial facilities worldwide. The company's smart industrial door solutions are designed not only to protect users but also to support manufacturing upgrades across industries.

Looking ahead, SEPPES plans to increase R&D investment in energy-efficient and environmentally friendly industrial doors, while further expanding its global footprint.

"Peace and development are hard-won, and for us, contributing through industry is a responsibility that weighs heavily," Mr. Yang emphasized. "We want to turn remembrance into motivation and use practical achievements to show the responsibility of veteran-founded enterprises."

A Veteran's Vision

From the army to the business world, Mr. Yang has consistently carried forward the spirit of service and responsibility. Under his leadership, SEPPES continues to combine innovation with dedication, contributing to both Suzhou's manufacturing upgrade and China's global industrial presence.
