After arriving in Kunshan in 1992, the firm found, much to its surprise, that the technology for making molecular sieves (a critical component needed for the oxygen plant, one element in a steel plant) already existed in Shanghai, and that vital raw materials like wollastonite and kaolin could be procured locally.
九二年來到大陸昆山後，因為鋼鐵廠配置的「氧氣廠」需要一種關鍵材料「分子篩」，意外發現上海在這方面早有獨到技術，而且主要原料如矽礦和高嶺土都可以就地取得，於是便在張江成立了分子篩公司。
