On January 15, 2026, the 2025 Bearing Industry Development Conference, hosted by the China Bearing Industry Association, was grandly inaugurated in Suzhou. Centered on the theme “The Bearing Industry’s Journey of Progress during the 14th Five-Year Plan and the New Voyage of the 15th Five-Year Plan,” the conference brought together leaders from industry authorities, top experts and scholars, and representatives of leading enterprises. Through a comprehensive review of achievements made during the 14th Five-Year Plan period and an in-depth analysis of the current industrial landscape, participants jointly outlined a blueprint for high-quality development in the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
At the conference, Zheng Wenkui，General Manager of HL Bearings，delivered a keynote presentation entitled “Reflections on the Development Path of HL Bearings.” Drawing on the company’s 60-year history, he highlighted HL’s practices as a former “Third Front” enterprise in western China—remaining committed to the real economy, cultivating a strong corporate culture, and exploring a distinctive development path. His insights provided a “HL model” that offers valuable reference for the industry’s transformation and upgrading.
Through the exchange of ideas and the building of shared consensus, the conference injected strong momentum into the bearing industry’s advance toward the new journey of the 15th Five-Year Plan.
