Hodias Group participated as a key co-organizer of the event.

A Global Debut on the World Stage

The centerpiece of Hodias Group’s participation was the global debut of Chef Sibao Dry Pot Sauce, a product that embodies the company‘s three-decade commitment to compound seasoning innovation. Developed from the essence of traditional Chinese dry pot cooking, the sauce is crafted from carefully selected ecological ingredients to deliver a rich, authentic flavor profile that balances culinary convenience with faithful taste reproduction.

The product aligns closely with the summit’s core themes of health, innovation, and ecological responsibility. Upon its unveiling, Chef Sibao Dry Pot Sauce drew widespread attention and acclaim from international attendees and renowned chefs, signaling strong potential for global market acceptance.

Chairman’s Address: Bringing Chinese Flavors to the World

During the summit‘s keynote forum, Mr. Zhang Fucai, Chairman of Hodias Group, delivered a speech outlining the company’s brand philosophy: “Adding a unique, sauce-centered authenticity to world cuisine.” Chairman Zhang emphasized that Chinese culinary culture is deeply intertwined with ecological ingredients and artisan seasoning, and that Hodias Group has consistently integrated Chinese seasoning wisdom with global sustainability principles through green R&D and health-oriented production.

Dual Recognition from New York State Assembly

The event also brought official recognition from U.S. legislative institutions. New York State Assembly Member Lester Chang (District 49) issued two official certificates: one to Hodias Group and one to Chairman Zhang Fucai personally.

The commendation to Hodias Group recognized the company‘s achievements since its founding in 1994 in compound seasoning R&D, health-focused food manufacturing, and catering standardization, as well as its contribution to bringing Chinese seasoning to the international stage through its participation in the UN summit.
