Dr. Lee Yin Yee, Founder of the Xinyi Group, has received the 2023 “Industrialist of the Year Award” from the Federation of Hong Kong Industries (FHKI), recognizing his outstanding contribution to the industrial sector and society.
Dr. Lee said, “It is a great honour for me to receive the 2023 ‘Industrialist of the Year Award’ from FHKI. This recognition is not for me alone, but also for the long-term contribution of Xinyi to the industry. It also stands for the endorsement and encouragement for us from the entire industrial sector.”
The “Industrialist of the Year Award” was established by FHKI in 2002. This Award is conferred each year on industrialists for their distinguished contributions to Hong Kong’s industries, economy and community. The “Industrialist of the Year Award” and the “Young Industrialist Awards of Hong Kong” are known as “The Oscars” in the local industrial sector.
Dr. Lee added, “Thirty some years ago, when most people chose to come to Hong Kong to start business, I decided to go back to Shenzhen and set up Xinyi Glass, embarking on the journey of running my own business. After years of hard work, Xinyi Glass, which began as a small workshop, has grown to become a world-leading integrated glass manufacturer, realizing the dream of ‘China producing her own glass’.
“In 2005, Xinyi Glass was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and subsequently spun off three companies, Xinyi Solar, Xinyi Energy and Xinyi Electric Storage, for listing. This award is an encouragement for me to continue to lead the Xinyi companies in forging ahead and innovating, keeping pace with the country and integrating into her development plans, thus realizing our ambitions and dreams.
“We are committed to making ‘Xinyi’ a world-class brand, and at the same time, actively giving back to society, treating the world with a grateful heart.”
At present, Xinyi Group has total market capitalization exceeding HKD 100 billion, with a more than 30,000-strong workforce, and the sales network of its 13 major production bases covers more than160 countries and regions around the world.
