Twenty years of membrane mastery, hearts and minds united as we look toward the future—Keboote’s 20th-anniversary celebration comes to a successful close.

On February 18, 2023, Hangzhou Kebote Filtration Equipment Co., Ltd. held a 20th-anniversary celebration event titled “Twenty Years of Membrane Mastery: Hearts Connected, Looking Toward the Future” at Xiaoyao Manor in Hangzhou. The company invited partners from various sectors to gather together and celebrate this milestone occasion.

During the “Strategic Development and Cooperation Conference” segment of this event, Cobetter invited representatives from semiconductor companies including SMIC, HuaHong Group, Yangtze Memory Technologies, and Changxin Memory, as well as representatives from life science companies such as Sherpa Bio and ZhenGe Bio, to witness the proceedings together.

During the conference, the promotional video “The Accumulation of Time” was shown, chronicling Keboote’s journey from zero to one and from one to N. The video conveyed the company’s corporate mission—“Forging swords with membranes and building dreams with heart”—and highlighted that, after two decades of “the accumulation of time,” Keboote is poised to embark on a new chapter in the two major fields of integrated circuits and biopharmaceuticals.

In her speech, Ms. Shi Ying, Executive Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the Integrated Circuit Materials Industry Technology Innovation Alliance, stated: “In recent years, I have personally witnessed and been deeply impressed by the pragmatic, hardworking, and relentless journey of Kebote’s management team and its members. A series of our products have been widely adopted in numerous fields—including chip manufacturing companies, silicon wafer producers, photoresist manufacturers, ultra-pure process chemical suppliers, CMP polishing material companies, and related equipment enterprises—demonstrating your unwavering dedication and professionalism. In today’s new international landscape, as the global integrated circuit manufacturing supply chain becomes increasingly strained, Kebote’s remarkable achievements have become even more evident and valuable!”
