At the beginning of March 2024, Thomas and Jennifer, a partner and the head of China operations at HST, a leading German environmental technology company, visited Beijing SYS Science & Technology Co. SYS President Ge Jing, Deputy General Manager Zhang Ning, and Head of the International Department Ge Linxi warmly welcomed them.

HST is a German company with over 40 years of experience in integrated water environment management. The company specializes in municipal water supply and drainage planning and design, urban runoff pollution control, machinery manufacturing, municipal network management, and intelligent operation and maintenance through automation and information technology. HST is also a key player in Internet of Things (IoT)-based water science and technology, focusing on the research, development, and production of intelligent equipment for municipal water systems. The company is recognized by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy as a high-tech provider of integrated municipal water solutions under the "Municipal Water 4.0" initiative. Additionally, HST offers design, equipment, and control software solutions for early rainwater collection and treatment, urban drainage network flushing, total runoff volume control, flow rate and peak level management, as well as CSO combined sewer overflow drainage systems and pollution control for overflow rainwater runoff.

At the end of 2023, Mr. Ge Jing, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SYS, led a team to visit HST in Germany for a site tour and exchange. In return, Thomas, a partner at HST, and his team visited China to gain a deeper understanding of the Chinese water environment treatment market and SYS.

During the exchange, Thomas provided a detailed introduction to HST's wastewater treatment plant technology, including their hydrogen-from-methane technology—Green Hydrogen and Carbon Black Technology. He emphasized that this technology is not only highly efficient and energy-saving but also environmentally friendly, expressing strong confidence in its future promotion and application within the Chinese market.

Mr. Ge Jing, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SYS, responded by highlighting SYS’s commitment to staying at the forefront of water environment treatment technology. He noted that SYS is always proactive and forward-thinking in its research, development, and application of cutting-edge technologies. Mr. Ge expressed great interest in HST's innovative technology and hoped to establish a shared understanding with HST to explore potential cooperation opportunities in the Chinese market, aiming to contribute to the continued development of China’s environmental protection sector.

The HST delegation then visited SYS’s headquarters at the K20 base to gain a deeper understanding of SYS’s technological research and development capabilities, project experience, and the concept behind the K20 Eco-Convergence Innovation Industrial Park. During the visit, they also learned about the company’s development plans, which further strengthened their confidence in SYS’s future growth and the potential for collaboration between the two companies.

This exchange not only deepened the understanding between SYS and HST but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation, marking an important milestone in opening a new chapter of international collaboration between the two companies.
