Wang Yong: Redefining the Skylines of Industry

Chairman, Suzhou Rainbow Environmental Equipment Co., Ltd.

For three decades, I’ve transformed chimneys from industrial necessities into sustainable engineering signatures. What began as a pursuit of structural innovation evolved into a mission: to harmonize industrial progress with environmental stewardship.

My journey is built on reimagining the possible:

· Engineering Resilience: We pioneered the world’s first suspended pendulum-type tuned mass damper (TMD) for chimneys. This innovation allowed Asia’s tallest self-supporting steel chimney (135m in Gansu) to withstand extreme winds with minimal sway—setting new global benchmarks for safety and efficiency.

· Global Standards, Local Impact: My team authored 8 national standards and developed 76 patents. When Rainbow became Asia’s sole member of the International Committee on Industrial Chimneys (CICIND), we didn’t just join the conversation—we rewrote the rules.

· Smart Emissions Solutions: By embedding IoT sensors into our structures, we turned passive stacks into active environmental guardians. From Shanghai Tower to Beijing’s Olympic venues, our systems now monitor emissions in real-time for cleaner urban skylines.

Why this matters?

"Every chimney represents industry’s dialogue with the atmosphere. Our task is to ensure that dialogue is sustainable, silent, and solution-driven."

Our Global Footprint:

· Engineered critical systems for 65% of Beijing Olympic venues, 100% of Hangzhou G20 sites, and iconic towers like Shanghai Center.

· Secured EU CE and North American UL certifications—the only Chinese chimney manufacturer to achieve this.

· Established R&D hubs across Germany and Canada, exporting intelligent emission solutions to 30+ countries.

At Rainbow, we operate by core principles:

· Vision: Lead the global chimney industry through relentless innovation.

· Values: Responsibility. Honor. Transcendence.

· Promise: To build not just structures, but legacies where industry and ecology coexist.

Today, as climate challenges intensify, our work continues: proving that human ingenuity can elevate both enterprise and environment.
