SINOTRUK honors retiring employees with medals and museum tour at annual ceremony
SINOTRUK held its annual retirement ceremony at group headquarters, honoring retiring employees with commemorative medals and thanking them for decades of service.
What Happened
SINOTRUK held its annual retirement ceremony at the Group headquarters under the theme "Committed to a Stronger Nation, Proud to Be a SINOTRUK Employee." Retiring employees received commemorative retirement medals as the company expressed its "sincerest wishes" and "highest tribute" to veterans who have worked alongside SINOTRUK for decades. Organizers said the annual ceremony not only remembers years of hard work but also carries forward the spirit of perseverance and striving passed down through generations of SINOTRUK people. SINOTRUK described retirees as people who stayed dedicated to their posts from the prime of youth to gray hair, contributing quietly to the company's development and the history of China's automotive industry.
“I gave the best years of my youth to SINOTRUK over these decades. Looking back now, it was all worth it.”
“There have been some regrets along the way, but far more than that, there is pride.”
“Even after retirement, I will always be part of SINOTRUK.”
After the ceremony, retirees visited the SINOTRUK Museum and the Shandong Heavy Industry Future Group Technology Exhibition Hall to revisit the company's journey and experience its innovative achievements in fields such as new energy and intelligent connectivity. They talked along the way and felt deeply gratified and inspired. Several shared their hopes: "It makes me truly happy to see SINOTRUK doing better and better!", "Whenever I have time, I'll come back and visit", and "I wish SINOTRUK ever greater prosperity and success!"
The Group's various secondary units have also successively held ceremonies honoring retiring employees. SINOTRUK said these dignified events make respect for hard work and tribute to dedication an enduring warm hallmark of its company culture while sustaining workers' sense of belonging and happiness. The company added that employees committed to striving forward will always be its most valuable asset, and it told veteran colleagues that "SINOTRUK will always be a warm home" for them.
Previously from Sinotruk
In recent months SINOTRUK has run several employee-focused events at its campuses. On May 30, 2026, it hosted a Family Open Day for over 1,200 employees and their families, with museum tours and interactive activities. A day earlier, on May 29, 224 employees on 16 teams took part in a tug-of-war at the Science and Technology Building campus as part of the 2026 Employee Games. The parent group, Shandong Heavy Industry, separately met on June 26 to honor "Heavy Industry Craftsmen" and advance industrial workforce reform.

Why this matters
The ceremony underlines how much SINOTRUK publicly values long-serving staff: retirees receive medals, and the company describes employees as its most valuable asset. For employees and retiring workers, this reinforces recognition and belonging; for observers, it shows a large manufacturer deliberately linking staff loyalty with its work in new energy and intelligent connectivity. Because the Group's secondary units have also held their own retirement events, the gesture reaches beyond headquarters.
