Filing Summary: WF International Ltd. is conducting an initial public offering (IPO) of 1,400,000 ordinary shares at an offering price of $4.00 per share, with total proceeds anticipated to be $5,600,000.

The CEO, Ms. Ke Chen, holds a significant influence over the company, currently owning 70% of the shares, set to own approximately 56% post-offering.
