The X Group has been putting their efforts **on** areas such as product development and branding, and changing its range of products responding to feedback from customers and developing products to meet customer needs.
I saw "putting their efforts into" on the Internet, so I wonder if it is better to use "into" than "on".
Please advice!

Yes, putting their efforts into
Yes, "into" should be used with putting.
"Concentrating" would be "on".
Has been concentrating its efforts on.
Also, as X-Group is singular, I personally would say "its" instead of "their", though a lot of people do use the plural with a company.
