On September 22, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce released the 2026 China Top 500 Private Enterprises rankings.

Infore Group was once again included in two major lists, ranking 375th among China’s Top 500 Private Enterprises, up 25 places from the previous year, and 272nd among China’s Top 500 Private Manufacturing Enterprises, up 7 places year on year.

The simultaneous improvement in both rankings reflects Infore Group’s continued commitment to the real economy, as well as the steady accumulation of its operational capabilities and overall strength.

Widely regarded as an important benchmark for observing the development of China’s private economy and assessing the scale and strength of leading private enterprises, the China Top 500 Private Enterprises rankings have broad influence nationwide.

Among them, the China Top 500 Private Manufacturing Enterprises list focuses specifically on manufacturing companies and provides a concentrated view of the scale, capabilities, and industrial competitiveness of China’s leading private manufacturers.

Founded in 1994, Infore Group has grown through more than three decades of steady development into a diversified industrial group with a global perspective. As of June 2026, the Group had approximately 60,000 employees, total assets approaching RMB 100 billion, annual revenue of nearly RMB 40 billion, operations spanning more than 200 countries and regions worldwide, and maintained an AAA issuer credit rating.

Guided by its corporate mission to “Make Life Better,” Infore Group continues to advance its “3+1” strategy, deepening its three core industries of consumer products, environmental services, and culture and media, while further strengthening its professional investment platform. Across product innovation, manufacturing upgrades, content development, global operations, and asset management, the Group continues to build capabilities that support long-term and sustainable growth.
