Mr. Zhou Chungui (Ah Gui) – Senior Engineering & Bamboo Industry Expert | Founder of Zhejiang Runzhu Technology Co., Ltd.
Mr. Zhou Chungui is a senior expert and leading entrepreneur in China's engineering and bamboo building materials sector, with 21 years of engineering experience and 18 years of deep operational experience in the bamboo industry. He has successfully integrated cutting-edge technological innovation with industrial practice, making him one of the core drivers behind the development of modern bamboo structural materials and prefabricated bamboo buildings in China.
Core Career Highlights and Achievements:
I. Deep Industry Foundation and Leadership:
He once led the Engineering Business Department of Zhejiang Dazhuang Industrial Group Co., Ltd., a leading enterprise in the industry, and served as General Manager of the Engineering Division of Zhejiang Yongyu Bamboo Industry Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 834996), the first company in China's bamboo sector to be listed on the New Third Board (NEEQ), where he took full charge of operations, establishing a solid foundation in industry management and operations.
As a National Second-Class Registered Constructor and Senior Prefabricated Building Engineer, he possesses rigorous professional technical qualifications and project management capabilities.
II. Outstanding Technological Innovation and Industrialization Achievements:
Core R&D Results Received National Recognition: The project Key Technology Innovation and Industrialization of High-Performance Reconstituted Bamboo for Structural Use, which he led, was awarded the Second Prize of the 2019 Liangxi Forestry Science and Technology Award (Science and Technology Progress Award) – a national-level honor representing the pinnacle of technology in this field.
Key Inventor: He is the inventor of several groundbreaking core technologies in bamboo structures, including lightweight high-strength reconstituted bamboo structural materials, elastic snap-fit infinite-length joining technology for reconstituted bamboo, and bamboo brick prefabricated structures. These innovations have resolved critical bottlenecks in the application of bamboo in engineering structures.
Pioneering Engineering Practice: As Project Manager, he led the Shenzhen Vanke Headquarters Building project, which pioneered the large-scale, highly customized application of bamboo materials in landmark buildings in China. The project successfully achieved internationally authoritative LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, setting a benchmark for green architecture.
III. Authoritative Academic Status and Industry Standard Setting:
He serves as a Postgraduate Advisor at the School of Civil Engineering, Nanjing Forestry University, and at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University. He is also appointed as a Distinguished Researcher and Postgraduate Advisor at the Low-Carbon Economy and Technology Center, Hubei University of Technology, continuously promoting industry-academia-research integration and high-level talent cultivation.
He serves as an Enterprise Expert at the Bamboo Building Structural Materials Research Center, Zhejiang Academy of Forestry, and at the National and Local Joint Engineering Research Center for Biomass Materials in Electromechanical Product Packaging, deeply participating in the construction of national-level research platforms.
He has led or participated in the drafting of multiple national and industry standards, including the Technical Specification for Modern Bamboo Structure Building, Structural Bamboo Scrimber(LY/T 3194-2020), Terminology for Bamboo Engineering Materials, and the drawing set 12J03 Outdoor Engineering, guiding the standardized development of the industry.
IV. Successful Entrepreneurial Practice – Founding Runzhu Technology:
He founded Zhejiang Runzhu Technology Co., Ltd., building a specialized team integrating independent design, R&D, smart manufacturing, and sales.
Corporate Positioning and Mission: The company focuses on the comprehensive application of bamboo materials and the R&D and application of bamboo structures and prefabricated bamboo buildings. It is dedicated to providing all-bamboo green building solutions globally, integrating resources across the entire bamboo industry chain, and offering "full life-cycle, full-chain one-stop comprehensive bamboo culture services."
Notable Corporate Achievements:
Industry First: In 2016, it pioneered all-bamboo prefabricated buildings, receiving wide industry recognition and successful implementation.
Strong Intellectual Property: The company has filed dozens of patents related to bamboo buildings (including 4 granted invention patents) and holds 1 copyright for bamboo prefabricated systems.
Benchmark Projects and Collaborations: Its collaborative projects (e.g., Shenzhen Tencent Binhai Tower) were awarded the "High-Quality Engineering Award." It supported South China University of Technology in winning the overall championship of the 2nd China Solar Decathlon.
Honors and Certifications: The company has been recognized as a "Trustworthy Enterprise Abiding by Contracts," and has obtained ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 international standard system certifications.
Design Awards: The "Bamboo · Build · Pillar" bamboo wall-brick prefabricated building, designed under his leadership, won both the "Best Creative Design Award" and the "Best Social Value Award" at the 2020 Tianfu Bamboo Culture Creative Design Competition.
With his profound engineering background, forward-looking technological innovation, successful industrialization practice, and exceptional entrepreneurial leadership, Mr. Ah Gui has not only promoted the large-scale application of bamboo building materials in high-end engineering projects but also, through founding Runzhu Technology, led the development trend of China's bamboo-structure prefabricated buildings. He has made outstanding contributions to the green, low-carbon, and sustainable development of the bamboo industry, standing as a true industry leader and innovative entrepreneur.
