The October breeze swept through the pomegranate tree in front of the R&D center, its branches laden with fruit, their burnt-yellow, translucent red skins enveloping the glittering seeds. Light and shadow flickered beneath the tree, perfectly reflecting CENTERSKY (EI LAMINATION) ‘s flourishing glory.
The story of this pomegranate tree dates back to 2003, the year CENTERSKY Electric moved into its brand-new factory. Mr. Xu, the general manager, said, “I hope that CENTERSKY will be like the pomegranate seeds, united and unyielding.” So, he planted a pomegranate tree, barely one meter tall, in the yard. In 2005, the tree bloomed for the first time. The vibrant orange-red petals, resplendent in the May sun, became a symbol of CENTERSKY’s early bloom.
Time passed, and in 2020, when CENTERSKY ‘s new office building rose from the grounds, no one was willing to part with the old tree, a treasure trove of memories and companionship. So, workers carefully transplanted it, along with its soil, to the green belt of the old office building, now located below the R&D center. From then on, a new story was added to the annual rings of this pomegranate tree.
Through the passage of seasons, the pomegranate tree bears witness to far more than this.
Twenty-two years have flown by, and the once one-meter-tall pomegranate seedling is now nearly two stories tall. Its branches are twisted, its crown like an umbrella, its roots straining through the cracks in the concrete, yet it always produces flowers more vibrant than ever. It has witnessed every step of CENTERSKY’s transition from semi-manual and semi-automated production to intelligent manufacturing: its continuous expansion from Phase I to Phase IV; its international expansion and global success; and its unwavering dedication to the electrical industry over the past half century, as CENTERSKY employees have transformed from “followers” to “leaders,” carving their own unique mark in the
tide of the time.
Now, the pomegranate tree in front of the R&D center has grown tall and majestic.
Month by month, year by year, this pomegranate tree grows alongside those who pass beneath it! Apprentices entering the workplace shed their youthful innocence in the tree’s shadow, newly graduated interns take root and grow here, and once-young professionals shoulder the responsibilities of the department. Generations of CENTERSKY employees, their successes and failures, are all inextricably linked to the pomegranate tree and the splendor of CENTERSKY.
Today, the first thing anyone sees when entering CENTERSKY(EI LAMINATION) is the pomegranate tree. It stands quietly at the entrance, silently accompanying the peaceful years here. The scars on its branches are medals of growth, and the pomegranate red on its branches is the background of its splendor. Beneath the pomegranate tree, CENTERSKY’s story continues. Its original aspiration of “dedication and dedication” and the soil that nurtures dreams are as fiery and bright as the pomegranate red!
