On the morning of March 7, the Yantai City Commemoration of the “March 8th” International Women's Day and the Report Meeting on the Deeds of Outstanding Women, organized by the Yantai Women's Federation, was held in the lecture hall of the Party School of the Yantai Municipal Committee. The PE Business Division of Dawn Chemical Company won the title of “Yantai March 8th Red-Flag Collective”, becoming the only collective in Longkou City to receive this honor. One day before, at the Inauguration Ceremony of the Yantai Female Employees' Innovation and Entrepreneurship Alliance and the Theme Sharing Session on Female Growth organized by the Yantai Federation of Trade Unions, Liu Xiaoping, the Process Director of Dawn Polymer, was elected as a member of the innovation and entrepreneurship alliance and gave a sharing speech as a representative, demonstrating the dual breakthroughs of women in the new era in the fields of technology and industry.

The PE Business Division of Dawn Chemical is an “all-female team” with an average age of 31 and a female proportion of 69.7%. It has established 12 industry-tackling teams, whose footprints cover 9 provinces such as Anhui, Jiangsu, and Guangdong. They have successfully developed more than 70 high-quality customers and achieved remarkable results in market share and national-level layout. By precisely controlling procurement nodes, innovating inventory management models, and strengthening credit risk control, they have reduced costs per ton by 29% year-on-year, saving a total cost of over 4 million yuan, demonstrating the wisdom of women in modern enterprise management. Having worked silently in the field of new material research and development for nearly 30 years, Liu Xiaoping has made a magnificent transformation from an ordinary technician to a process director. In the process of domestic research and development of thermoplastic elastomer TPV, as a core member, she and her team rooted themselves in the production front line. They collected thousands of sets of data in a workshop over 40℃ and carried out more than 20 rounds of technical demonstrations with equipment manufacturers. They pioneered the two-stage one-step production process and finally helped the enterprise break through the key technology of complete pre-dispersion and dynamic full vulcanization. The team she leads has won titles such as the Shandong Workers' Pioneer. She herself has won many honors such as the Yantai Outstanding Young and Middle-Aged Experts, the Longkou May 1st Labor Medal, and the Longkou Craftsman.

From the scientific research front line to the marketing front, from Liu Xiaoping's innovative breakthroughs to the market-tackling efforts of the PE Business Division, the “Her- power” of Dawn has achieved a dual breakthrough in personal value and enterprise development. The heavy honors are not only the best commendation for Dawn's female employees who have deeply engaged in the industry but also a vivid footnote to the power of women in the new era. As Liu Xiaoping said in her speech, “There are no gender boundaries in scientific and technological innovation. Women can also hold up half the sky.”
