The Company has formulated the "Supplier Performance Assessment Management Measures" to
Protect Clients’ Rights and Interests
Supplier conduct objective and comprehensive evaluations of suppliers from multiple dimensions, including
Assessment supplier scale, product quality, order delivery, and after-sales service, through measures such as
inspections, performance assessments, and capability evaluations. Suppliers are classi?ed into four
tiers (A, B, C, D) based on the assessment results, enabling the selection of the best partners and
suppliers while eliminating underperformers. This process aims to establish a roster of excellent core
partners and suppliers, thereby fostering a robust business ecosystem for the Company.

Strengthen risk control and management, enhance the awareness of integrity and
self-discipline, and ensure the legality and compliance of operations.
Supporting the High-Quality Development of
Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
In 2025, the company organized activities such as quality monthly meetings, quality quarters, and on-site audits to
provide management guidance to some upstream enterprises.Case Study:
To e?ectively enhance the quality management and standards of its suppliers (small and medium-sized enterprises),
HGGAOLI, in collaboration with internal and external expert resources, carried out a series of targeted training
programs for suppliers. These included specialized training on the 8D methodology, OST report/PPAP submission
requirements and problem explanation, change management training, PPAP production part standard procedure train-
ing, SMT key control items training, and foreign object control. In addition, several technical exchange activities were
organized, including but not limited to inviting experts from friction welding equipment manufacturers and sealing ring
suppliers for on-site technical discussions and benchmarking exchanges. Through comprehensive and diverse
empowerment initiatives, the company e?ectively helped suppliers enhance their overall competitiveness, achieving
coordinated development between supply and demand sides.

Client Satisfaction Management
The Company consistently values client feedback and conducts client satisfaction measurements in strict accordance
with the established "CX08-01 client Satisfaction Evaluation Procedure." Data is primarily collected through electronic
questionnaires and telephone interviews. Upon completion of client satisfaction surveys, the Company requires each
subsidiary to hold summary and analysis meetings to re?ect on the measurement methods and survey results, and to
generate client satisfaction reports. This process continuously enhances the Company's service quality and standards,
strengthening its market competitiveness. Furthermore, the Company regularly conducts training for its online and
o?ine marketing personnel, such as the "Tempering Plan" training courses, to continuously improve their marketing
capabilities and client service skills, thereby enhancing the quality of client service.
In 2025, HGTECH and its subsidiaries received numerous awards and recognitions, including: Qianxing Award "Excel-
lent Production Line Equipment Award", Deye Shares "Excellent Quality Award", Skyworth Electrical "Excellent Quality

Since its establishment, the Thailand base has strictly complied with relevant Thai laws and regulations, continuously
improving its environmental, occupational health and safety management system. It has formulated and implemented a
series of policy documents covering sustainable development and environmental protection, including but not limited to
multiple sustainable development management systems such as the "Management System for the Storage and Disposal of
Hazardous Waste," "Noise Control Management System," "Regulations on Designated Scrapping of Waste in the Industrial
Park," "Management System for Precursor (Highly Toxic) and Explosive Hazardous Chemicals," "Energy Saving and
Consumption Reduction Management System," "Safety Inspection Operating Procedures," and "Wastewater Discharge
Management Speci?cations." The base actively integrates legal and regulatory requirements into its daily operations,
continuously optimizes its own strategies, and promotes the achievement of sustainable development goals, making
positive contributions to the local society and environment. Simultaneously, the base actively implements environmental
protection and occupational health and safety management measures, continuously conducts wastewater, waste gas, and
noise testing, transfers hazardous waste in compliance with laws and regulations, and regularly organizes occupational
health check-ups, ensuring that the entire production and operation process meets environmental protection and safety
standards.
In 2025, the factory has obtained certi?cation for ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, ISO 9001:2015, and ESD S20.20:2021
