June 3, 2026, marked an important milestone for Aden Group in Wuxi, with the official signing and settlement of two major projects: the inter-institutional Industrial Park Asset REITs issuing entity (China Headquarters) and the Physical AI and Robotics Innovation Platform for Industrial Parks.

Building upon the foundations laid by the 2023 signing of the Sino-French (Wuxi) Industrial Cooperation Park, this latest achievement deepens the collaboration between Aden Group and Wuxi, injecting fresh momentum into the development of the Sino-French Cooperation Demonstration Zone.

20 years of deep roots: from facility management to smart park development

Since establishing its first service team in Wuxi in 2005, Aden has built a robust and steady 20-year footprint in the city. Aligning with regional growth trends, Aden expanded its service network to Nanjing in 2008 and Changzhou in 2011. Today, Aden’s Greater Wuxi Area (GWUX) has grown to nearly 4,000 professional employees, delivering high-standard operational support to more than 190 industrial and commercial client sites daily.

Over these two decades, Aden’s dedication to exceptional compliance and safety standards has made it a long-term trusted partner for global industrial leaders:

• Semiconductors & Advanced Manufacturing: Long-standing partnerships with SK Group, Samsung, TCL Zhonghuan Leading Semiconductor, and XPT (NIO Powertrain).
• Life Sciences & Advanced Chemicals: Continuous production logistics and facility maintenance support for multinationals including AstraZeneca, BASF, Heraeus Precious Metals, and Mettler Toledo.
• Automotive & Industrial Manufacturing: Earned the long-term trust of industry giants such as Forvia, Yadea Technology, and Kimberly-Clark.

In July 2023, the Sino-French (Wuxi) Industrial Cooperation Park was officially established in Wuxi, becoming the first “Sino-French Cooperation Demonstration Zone” certified by the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China (CCIFC). NXpark, an Aden Group subsidiary, is responsible for the investment and operation of the park’s core area.

Leveraging Aden’s global resource network, the park successfully attracted a wave of key projects from Fortune 500 companies right at its launch—including Schneider Electric, Legrand, Air Liquide, Veolia, and EDF. Spanning advanced manufacturing, industrial automation, and high-end medical devices, these projects have generated a powerful synergistic effect across the supply chain.

Strategic upgrade: new frontiers in full-lifecycle asset management

From its origins in Integrated Facility Management (IFM) to its current trajectory toward fully digitalized, low-carbon smart parks, Aden Group has continuously evolved. The two newly signed projects represent Aden’s latest practices centered around the full lifecycle of industrial park assets:

1. IInter-institutional industrial park asset REITs project

Aden has established its inter-institutional Industrial Asset REITs issuing entity (China Headquarters) in the Wuxi National High-Tech District (WND), positioning it to become China’s first wholly foreign-owned industrial park asset inter-institutional REIT product.

The initial seed assets comprise the Wuxi Schneider Industrial Park and the Xi’an High-End Automotive Components Industrial Park Base, representing a total investment of over RMB 1.5 billion. By utilizing asset securitization, this initiative creates a positive loop of “revitalizing assets, bringing in capital, and reinvesting into the industry,” providing sustained financial backing for the Industrial Cooperation Park.

2. Physical AI and robotics innovation platform project for industrial parks

This platform will integrate R&D, production, and real-world application to build an intelligent park operations framework, supporting the growth of Wuxi’s smart robotics sector.

Moving forward, the project will focus on the R&D, training, demonstration application, and commercialization of service robots for industrial parks. It aims to build a standardized service robot training center and manufacturing base while expanding innovative application scenarios, such as AR-driven smart parks, to spearhead an intelligent “Robotics + AI + Park” operational model.

Joachim Poylo, founder and president of Aden Group:

“Over our 30 years in China, Aden Group has continuously aligned its business layout with evolving market demands. The projects signed in Wuxi this time sit at the core of our future focus: artificial intelligence and digitalization. Backed by Wuxi’s solid manufacturing foundation and its powerful AI ecosystem, we are confident in developing the Physical AI and Robotics Innovation Platform for Industrial Parks into a benchmark project for space intelligence. Furthermore, we will fully drive the REITs project forward, making greater contributions to trade, economic, and industrial exchanges between Wuxi and France.”

Grounded in 20 years of accumulated service excellence, and addressing the new demands for space intelligence and industrial park asset value in the Industry 4.0 era, Aden Group will continue to join hands with all partners. Driven by the twin engines of technology and finance, we look forward to writing the next chapter of shared growth.
