Shanghai Toehold Technology Listed Among "2020 Top 50 Hongkou Brands"

On May 10, the "2020 Hongkou Brand Strength Index" and the "Top 50 Hongkou Brands" list were officially released. That same day, Hongkou District also published the "2020 Hongkou Brand Strength Index Research Report" and hosted an expert roundtable forum titled "Brand and Urban Energy-Level Enhancement." Shanghai Toehold Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Toehold Technology") was invited to attend the event as one of the top 50 brands and was honored alongside companies such as Suning.com, Shanghai Jahwa, Diandude, and Gaodun Education.

The published "Brands of Hongkou"—2020 Top 50 Hongkou Brands list includes leading brands from various industries and sectors, offering constructive suggestions for the growth of different types of brands. The evaluation was conducted by a research team from the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences’ Shanghai Brand Development Research Center, which designed a dedicated evaluation system and implementation plan for the initiative. Participating brands were classified into four categories: service brands, manufacturing brands, cultural brands, and shopping/landmark brands. Assessments were carried out across three dimensions: brand foundation, brand management and maintenance, and brand influence. The selection process adopted a "1+4" evaluation model incorporating data analysis, expert review, self-assessment, consumer feedback, and public opinion analysis. This multi-index comprehensive evaluation resulted in the "2020 Hongkou Brand Strength Index Report" and the "2020 Top 50 Hongkou Brands" list.

As a high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production, sales, and service, Toehold Technology has remained committed to its mission of "ensuring engineering quality and safety" since its establishment in October 2010 in the Hongkou Campus of Tongji University’s National Science Park.
