In 2026, the International Divisions of Kinghelm and Slkor have entered a new phase of development. General Manager Song Shiqiang stated that the International Division achieved growth in 2025 and will continue to develop this year, becoming the company's third growth curve.

Guided by this strategy, the International Division and the Promotion Department will shoulder the important task of expanding overseas markets and building the dual international brands "Kinghelm" and "Slkor".

Newly appointed Director Song Yuanming has taken up the baton, leading the International Division team on a new journey with clear plans and pragmatic steps.

Reflecting on his initial feelings upon taking the role, Song Yuanming frankly admitted, "It was indeed a bit overwhelming at first, but having accumulated several years of experience in the International Division, I am quite familiar with the products, business, and team, so the adaptation was relatively quick."

He stated that the work focus for 2026 will be on the operation of the Digi-key platform, personnel allocation, and resource support. "This year, we plan to bring in new members and expand the team to around 15 people. Currently, Slkor is recruiting for a manager position with foreign trade experience. If any friends in the industry are interested in this role, you are very welcome to come and talk to us."

In terms of overseas market expansion, Slkor performed remarkably well on the Digi-key platform in 2025, achieving an annual growth rate of 425% and a peak monthly order volume of 1,360 orders.

This laid a solid foundation for subsequent growth and significantly boosted the team's confidence. Song Yuanming revealed that the performance in December 2025 set a new record, 25% higher than the previous best.

This year, the International Division aims to maintain a 25%-30% growth based on this achievement. To reach this goal, the department plans to add 1,000 new products to the Digi-key platform while increasing overseas marketing efforts to further enhance brand visibility and customer trust.

Song Yuanming commented, "The North American market becoming the largest source of customers on the Digi-key platform far exceeded our expectations." Concurrently, the International Division is also expanding through other channels: establishing cooperation with Corestaff, with products already listed on their local component platform; and synchronously uploading Kinghelm and Slkor materials to the international version of LCSC, further broadening overseas reach.

Regarding resource support, Song Yuanming emphasized the important role of the Promotion Department: "The articles and images created by our promotion colleagues are excellent.

Their promotional plans save us time preparing materials and also bring us many inquiry resources." This year, efforts will also be made to build corporate entries on Baidu Baike and Wikipedia, further strengthening brand endorsement.

"Customer recognition comes not only from products and publicity but also from corporate culture and the office environment. When many foreign clients visit our Shenzhen headquarters, they highly commend our sales staff and the company's professionalism," Song Yuanming said.

As a young director, Song Yuanming displays confidence and decisiveness about the future: "We will continue to deepen our work on the Digi-key platform, striving to increase monthly orders from 1,200 to 2,000 by the end of the year. At the same time, we are preparing to collaborate with platforms like Supplyframe, combining tools like Foreign Trade Tong to seek more customer resources. We also need to learn more from industry veterans and find better cooperation methods." He stated that in 2026, the International Division, with a brand-new attitude, is steadily implementing the company's goal for the third growth line step by step.
