Analyze the situation of fasteners in China and accelerate the fastener industry

China's Fastener Export Situation in the Past Two Years In recent years, China's fastener exports have grown rapidly and have gradually become the largest exporter of fastener products in the world. According to statistics, in the first half of 2006, the total export of fasteners nationwide reached 10.99 million tons, an increase of 30.82% over the same period of 2005, and sales amounted to 1.229 billion US dollars, an increase of 23.07% over the same period of last year. It can be seen that in the first half of 2006, although the export of fasteners has developed rapidly, the problem of unreasonable export product structure still exists. We are still relying on the increase in the number of products to expand the market. There are still low grades and prices of products. Low problem. Mainly entering the maintenance of foreign spare parts market, only a small number of products into the host supporting the market, and more to oem delivery, has not yet formed its own brand.

With the rapid increase in the export volume of fasteners in China, its export resistance has also increased. Many people are concerned that the export volume of fastener products in China will drop significantly in 2007, which will increase the pressure on the domestic market. In fact, this worry is unnecessary.

1. After long-term development, China has built a fastener production system that is the largest in the world, has more complete varieties and better quality. China's fastener products are inexpensive and have strong comprehensive competitiveness. In this world's largest production base of “world factory” fasteners, the export volume of fastener products with larger scale will surely produce a match. It is expected that China's fastener exports will exceed US$2.5 billion in the next 2 to 3 years.

2. In recent years, with the transfer of fastener production in Western developed countries, production capacity has also been relatively reduced. The world economic growth has increased the demand for fastener products in China and the dependence has gradually increased.

Therefore, although the trade friction against China’s fastener products will not decrease in the future, the export of fastener products in China will continue to develop for a period of time. After all, it is still difficult for China to provide fastener products to the international market at the current stage. Find a complete alternative source.

It can thus be seen that China has become a major exporter of fastener products, and it is an inevitable result of global industrial adjustment and division of labor in the context of global integration. It is a long-term trend that is difficult to reverse.

Of course, in the past two years, some problems that cannot be ignored have emerged during the export of fasteners. The main reason is that the export order is somewhat confusing, with the emphasis on export growth being too rapid, export time and export countries being too concentrated, low prices, and low value-added output, causing some unnecessary friction, which is not conducive to the export of fastener products. The sustained and healthy development.

For this reason, in view of the situation and new changes in the export trade of fastener products in China, it is necessary to establish a nationwide monitoring and early warning system for the import and export of fastener products, to grasp the situation, to identify problems, and to propose operability recommendations so as to provide a basis for scientific decisions of related departments. On the basis of monitoring and early warning, and full study, relevant agencies can use macro-guides on the export quantity, product structure, and time of fasteners in China according to changes in the trade situation, using tariffs, interest rates, and quotas.

Accelerating the independent innovation capability of China's fastener industry With the continuous development of foreign auto parts giants in China, it has now entered a new stage, and China’s auto parts and automotive fastener companies’ investment in China is undergoing three changes. From holding shares to holdings, from joint ventures to sole proprietorships, and from possessing markets to monopolizing markets, foreign investment in domestic auto parts and auto fastener industry is increasing.

Foreign auto fastener companies continue to land in China, set up factories, rely on core technologies, and continue to expand market share with their excellent product quality, especially in high-end products.

At the time of the expansion of foreign-funded enterprises, domestic domestic fastener companies have become increasingly weak due to their small scale, low capital, and generally insufficient investment in R&D. Facts have proved that after paying the price of the environment, market and energy, we have not been able to exchange much of the technology we want. Of course, some domestic fastener manufacturers also have strong strength, but after all, the number is too small.

This situation reflects the fact that domestic fastener companies are not strong in core competitiveness and lack of innovation. How can they be changed? There is only one answer - independent innovation, but also start from scratch. For innovative companies, it is necessary to formulate long-term corporate strategies and plans, make efforts in many aspects such as management, technology, and talent team building, and create a good atmosphere for innovation within the company.

The process of high-strength fasteners is complex and needs to be improved and improved on the basis of a large amount of accumulated experience. Therefore, higher requirements are placed on the technical management of enterprises. Fastener companies should formulate strict technical file management, make great efforts to summarize, classify and archive mature technologies, and eventually turn them into valuable assets for enterprises.

Industry insiders once remarked that at present, our fastener companies have a big gap with foreign advanced level in terms of equipment, hardware, etc. It is difficult to catch up at the moment. The most promising thing is breakthrough in software and innovation, but due to our on-site process Insufficient collection of data and inadequate formulation of standards have restricted the development of fasteners.

Technological innovation requires enterprises to continuously increase their strength and increase their capital investment. Most of the fastener companies are small and medium-sized and relatively weak in technical strength. Therefore, companies need to broaden their thinking and mobilize all the forces that can be used for my own use. Fastener companies should be able to complement each other with research institutes and institutes. Effectively promote the company's technology research and development, technological innovation.

As the main body of innovation, talent is the key. Our fastener company needs more humanistic care and creates a good living and working environment for talents. We should treat talents from the perspective of business development. Such as regular personnel training should be institutionalized, establish a clear incentive mechanism, encourage innovation, etc., in order to give full play to the talent's innovative potential.

In addition, for the Local Fasteners Association, which acts as a bridge link between the fastener companies and the government, they should shoulder their historical responsibilities, establish a sense of service, and do a good job of providing services for enterprises and innovating for them. Create a good external environment. Such as timely provision of policy information for enterprises, targeting hot and difficult fasteners, organizing exchange activities, and strive to "words" to avoid vagueness.
