Future Industry Launches China's First Scheduled All-Cargo Air Route to Sri Lanka

On the morning of June 28, 2025, an SF Airlines B757-200 freighter departed Kunming Changshui International Airport fully loaded for Colombo, marking the official launch of the Kunming–Colombo scheduled international all-cargo air route — the first of its kind from China to Sri Lanka. The service plans two flights per week, offering over 110 tons of two-way weekly capacity. Outbound cargo centres on electronics, machinery parts, textiles, cross-border e-commerce parcels and fresh flowers, while imports focus on Sri Lankan tea, spices and other signature local agricultural products. The route further strengthens Future Industry's international trade and logistics competitiveness across Asia, providing efficient and stable air logistics support for China–Sri Lanka economic ties and the Belt and Road Initiative.

What We Can Do

Prefabricated ultra-low-energy buildings — apartments, villas, hotels and factories — delivered from investment through design, procurement and construction to operation:

Integrated Delivery Model

Five stages, one accountable counterparty:

1 · Invest. Equity and JV structuring.
2 · Design. Energy, water and comfort modelling.
3 · Build. Design-build / EPC single-point delivery.
4 · Supply. Company manufacturing: joinery, custom furniture, sanitary ware, stone, metalwork, carpets, decorative materials and coatings.
5 · Operate. Commissioning, M&V and facilities management.

Our Industry Solutions

Tailored solutions for specific industries:

Pharmaceutical cleanroom HVAC and textile factory air-conditioning systems
Pharmaceutical HVAC solution. Precision temperature, humidity and pressure-gradient control for cleanrooms, GMP-compliant.
Textile & garment HVAC solution. Constant temperature and humidity for process stability and product quality.
Construction electrification solution. Electric machinery substitution for zero-emission, low-noise construction.

Our Core Technology Systems

Seven integrated technology systems plus the ultra-low-energy core form one ultra-low-energy solution:

Factory-prefabricated steel structure modules and core-board slabs
Steel structure + core-board system. Stainless, weathering and galvanised steel with C5-M marine-grade corrosion protection; factory-prefabricated and bolt-assembled on site.
Roof-integrated photovoltaic panels with natural ventilation
PV ventilated roof system. Roof-integrated photovoltaic generation combined with natural ventilation.
Dual-cavity glass curtain wall facade
Dual-cavity power-generating ventilated glass curtain wall. A dual-cavity facade integrating power-generating glazing, ventilation and radiation-reflective thermal insulation coating.
Prefabricated soundproof partition wall installation
Prefabricated soundproof partition-wall system. Factory-built acoustic interior partitions for fast on-site assembly.
Radiation-reflective thermal insulation coating applied to building facade
Radiation-reflective thermal insulation coating. High-reflectivity coating for building facades, roofs, oil storage tanks and ships — reflects solar radiation, lowers surface temperature and cuts cooling loads.
Prefabricated MEP module hoisted on site
Prefabricated MEP system. Factory-built MEP modules and pipe racks hoisted and connected on site — shorter schedules, stable quality.
High-efficiency chiller plant room
High-efficiency plant room. High-efficiency chillers with heat-recovery design, 30%~50% more efficient than conventional air-conditioning systems.
Prefabricated steel structure and core-board building system selection drawing, imperial units
Steel structure + core-board system — selection drawing (imperial units)

Stainless Steel Core-Board Technology

The ultra-light, ultra-strong structural material behind our steel structure + core-board system:

Core-board structure: stainless steel face sheets with thin tube array joined by copper brazing
Core-board structure. Two stainless-steel face sheets sandwich a thin tube array (tube diameter 16–140 mm, wall 0.09–1.5 mm); copper-foil pads between, joined at 1100 °C by hot-air copper brazing — even heating, mirror-flat and stress-free over huge panel sizes.
Extra-large core-board panel with team standing on it, showing scale
Ultra-light, ultra-strong. At equal weight, stiffness reaches 630–7,350× that of plain steel plate; density is under half that of water and 15× lighter than solid steel. Field-proven: an A1.5 board spanning 12 m carries 20 people with barely any deflection.
Crane lifting prefabricated modular building unit onto structure
Core-board buildings. Floors of stainless core-board and stainless columns and beams — no concrete; 1,000-year design life; resilience against earthquakes; combined with passive ultra-low-energy standards, cutting air-conditioning cost and carbon emissions by ~90%; factory-built modules erected on site in days.
Standard core-board specifications
CodeTubeFace sheet (mm)Board thick (mm)Weight (kg/m²)Main applications
AΦ51×0.31.515031Building floor slabs

HΦ89×1.66, 8150–400110–160Road/rail bridges, vacuum tunnels, large ships

Standard panel size up to 12,000 × 2,000 mm. Tube ends are flared to enlarge the braze area ~10×, so joints stay sound even if a tube is pulled to failure; passes 2.5-million-cycle fatigue load testing.

Ultra-Low-Energy Technology Core

Passive envelope first. Building form, insulation, airtightness and shading do the heavy lifting before any plant is specified.
Decoupled ventilation (DOAS). Latent and sensible loads are separated so each is handled at its most efficient point.
High-efficiency plant with heat recovery. Heat-recovery chillers turn waste heat into free hot water.
On-site generation and storage. BIPV, floating PV, BESS and microgrid island-mode where the site allows.
Water as an energy system. Rainwater, greywater and condensate recovery with MBR reuse.
Measured, not claimed. Sub-metered BMS plus monitoring & verification (M&V) prove every number.
Generational advantage over traditional buildings. Building energy use 10%~30% of a traditional building, structural load ~15%, and on-site construction time ~30%.

Insulation Coating Selection Guide

Four insulation coating families compared across mechanism, dual insulation-plus-thermal behaviour, colour, temperature range, thickness, fire rating and service life. For industrial pipes and tanks — hot or cryogenic — aerogel is the only full-range option; for white roofs with summer-only cooling, radiant-cooling or reflective coatings apply.

Prefabricated Wall System Classification

Six dry-construction wall types on a steel/aluminium keel system — glue-free, demountable and recyclable. Modular with integrated conduit runs, about 70% faster than wet trades, essentially no construction waste; all-inorganic materials for fire and moisture resistance; M8 tie-rod connections that also absorb thermal movement.
