The Founder's Story: One Man, One Machine, 30 Years

laoban

Established in 1993 by Huang Song in Foshan, Soontrue aimed to develop durable and accessible packaging machinery to meet the needs of China's growing industries. From the outset, the company prioritised practical performance and long-term value, earning the trust of its early customers.

The first horizontal flow wrapper set the tone for the company's approach: precision engineering, robust construction, and reliable operation. This focus on quality rather than trends enabled steady growth and a product range developed directly from market demands and customer input.

Today, this focus drives operations across four manufacturing sites, delivering automated equipment that improves productivity. Huang Song's original goal — to provide dependable machinery — continues to shape our manufacturing processes and customer support worldwide.
