A Celebration of Chinese Traditions

The global community is preparing to welcome the Year of the Snake, according to the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. This festive occasion holds significant cultural importance, not only in China but also in many countries with strong Chinese heritage. For us, the Lunar New Year is a time to reflect on and celebrate our deep-rooted partnership with EP Equipment, based in Hangzhou, China.

In Chinese culture, the snake symbolises wisdom, intuition and transformation. Those born in the Year of the Snake are often seen as intelligent, graceful and perceptive. This year, in particular, represents prosperity and good fortune—making 2025 a particularly auspicious one for both businesses and individuals alike.

With a shared vision for growth and success, we believe it’s important to honour the Lunar New Year as a symbol of our evolving partnership.
