We are deeply grateful for the trust, support, partnership, and friendship we have received from Lianda’s team, our customers, and principals over the past 30 years. Shawn and I are confident that the partnerships we have built with our customers and principals will continue under the leadership of Joe Moran, and our team will have more opportunities to grow at HB Chemical/Ravago,” said Lee Mao, President and CEO of Lianda.
“We are happy to see that HB Chemical/Ravago will maintain our well-equipped lab to continue providing a high level of technical support and innovative solutions to our valued customers,” said Shawn Xu, Co-President, Technology of Lianda. The integration of Lianda into HB Chemical will enhance product offerings, technical capabilities, and geographic reach—providing customers with even greater value and service. The combined team remains laser-focused on what matters most: helping customers and principals succeed. “We look forward to building on the incredible foundation Lianda has created and honoring the legacy Lee and Shawn have built.” said Joe Moran.
