Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group Limited
Chairman

Mr. Ren Yuanlin began as a worker in a state-owned shipbuilding yard. Today he is a shipping magnate and the leader of his own company. The legendary chairman of Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group did it by focusing on his goal to build the best shipbuilding company in China.

Mr. Ren led Yangzijiang to become the first private Chinese company listed in Singapore, with both the size of its IPO and its PE ratio ranking it at the top of all Chinese companies listed there. In 2010, when Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement came into effect, Yangzijiang became the first mainland company to successfully list in Taiwan.

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group is the second largest private shipbuilding company in China in terms of output and technology. It has been listed in “Top 500 Chinese Enterprises” and “Top 500 Chinese Manufacturing Enterprises” for two consecutive years. The company has been maintaining its annual output within the first five places among the top 100 Chinese shipbuilding companies for two consecutive years.

Mr. Ren is also an avid supporter of charity, donating RMB10 million to build schools following the Wen Chuan earthquake and overseeing much of the work himself. He has also personally financed new schools in Kazakhstan.
