Plastic Machinery Industry Development of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province

Ningbo's plastics machinery industry began in the 70s of the last century, when Ningbo Dongfeng Machinery Factory first prototyped and produced 60 grams of injection molding machines. The plant was later placed under the jurisdiction of the State Light Industry Department and was renamed Ningbo Plastic Machinery Plant. The General Plant created the history of Ningbo's production of presses and created a large number of management and technical talents for the Ningbo press industry. Some of them left the plant to start their own businesses and become the heads of new press companies. The backbone of production technology for new enterprises is the first phase of the development of the Ningbo press industry.

In the 1990s, a number of new star enterprises emerged in the Ningbo press industry, mainly including the leading Laohaitian presses and Haitai, Haida, Haixing, Haibo, Haiqiang and other "sea word genealogy" companies. These private enterprises With flexible mechanisms and strong market adaptability, it has quickly become the main force of the Ningbo press industry. Ningbo is also an important stage in the press industry.

Since the end of the last century, the world's leading press giants have rushed to Ningbo and established camps in the Ningbo Development Zone. They came from Germany, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan, representing the world level of the international press products at that time, and the Chinese private presses. Enterprises compete with each other, exchange and interaction, and increase the status of the Ningbo press industry, opening the process of Ningbo presses in line with international standards, and making the city become an important base for domestic and global presses manufacturing. Thus the Ningbo press industry has entered a new stage of development. Looking at the development process, compared with other domestic press industry bases, the city's press industry has the following comparative advantages.

1. High degree of industrial clustering. There are many large-scale enterprises in Ningbo with more than 130 existing machine-building machine manufacturers, including 98 above-scale enterprises and about 20,000 employees. The enterprises of presses are mainly distributed in the four regions of Jiangbei, Jiangdong, Quzhou, and Beilun, especially in Beilun, which is a typical block economy. In 2005, the city produced 192,000 tons of plastic products, which accounted for about two-thirds of the total production of injection molding machines in the country, and accounted for 54.38% of the total volume of all plastic products in the country; sales amounted to 7 billion yuan and total profit of 705 million yuan. Yuan, which accounts for about 50% of the national industry. In recent years, Ningbo has successfully cultivated a group of Haitian, Haitai, Haida, Starfish, Shuangma, General Motors, and Hengrun, etc., with significant economies of scale, high market share, good economic returns, and high reputation both at home and abroad. The strength of backbone enterprises. In 2005, among the top 10 in China's plastics production, Ningbo accounted for five. There are more than 20 companies in the city with sales of 50 million yuan or more, and 10 companies have achieved sales of billion yuan. Ningbo Haitian Group, with an annual output of 107,100 tons of presses, is the world's highest-yield with sales of nearly 3 billion yuan. , ranked in the top four in the world.

Second, the product category is complete, the quality of domestic top In the city's production of plastic products technical level and Hong Kong, China Taiwan at the same level of development. The injection volume of the injection molding machine is from 15 grams to 50,000 grams and the maximum clamping force is 3,600 tons. The models include ordinary machines, computer machines, hydraulic machines, motors, etc., which can meet the needs of various customers at home and abroad.

Ningbo Haitian Group is the chairman unit of the National Plastics Machinery Industry Association and is the vanguard of China's plastics press industry. The production of plastics products has obtained (97) the brand name products of China's machinery products, (98) the brand name products of the Ministry of Machinery, (05) China's export-oriented brand, (95, 96, 99, 00, 02, 03) provincial famous brand products or provincial famous brands have been applied for and obtained 43 invention patents. According to incomplete statistics, the products of 6 key enterprises have obtained the provincial famous brand or provincial famous brand, and many enterprises have obtained the famous brand products of the city. The above-mentioned key enterprises have all passed the ISO-9001 quality assurance system certification, and most companies have passed the European CE certification. Overall product quality ranks first in the country.

Third, a high degree of specialization, the formation of industrial supporting systems in Ningbo and Ningbo surrounding areas, gathered hundreds of companies to provide presses for accessories and process collaboration of related companies, which is the rapid development of Ningbo press industry location advantages. Dongwu Town, Ningbo is the largest casting center in East China. The famous large-scale foundry companies such as Riyue and Taixing have an annual output of 60,000 tons of castings, which ensures the demand for castings in the Ningbo press industry. Zhoushan Jintang claims to be The hometown of screw in China” has more than 300 screw barrel production enterprises, and annual production of barrel screw accounts for more than 70% of the national total; there are also many hydraulic motor manufacturers in Ningbo, both private and foreign-owned enterprises. We provide hydraulic system products of various grades for presses, and computer makers such as Easton, Sunstar, Hongxing and Pazhou can fully meet the demand of Ningbo presses for controlling computers. These companies are scattered across the company. Within a radius of 50 kilometers from the city center, the on-site supporting rate of presses reaches more than 90%, forming a geographical advantage for the development of Ningbo presses.

IV. Well-developed intermediaries have created a good external environment for the healthy development of the industry. In 2003, the city established the Ningbo Plastic Machinery Industry Association. This is one of the only two local professional guild organizations for presses in China (the other is Zhangjiagang) Through several years of development, there are 81 existing member companies, and the sales of member companies have accounted for 82.1% of the city's total industry sales. The president is headed by Zhang Jianming, general manager of Ningbo Haitian Group and 6 vice presidents, who are the heads of six companies: Haitai, General Motors, Hengrun, Haida, Shuangma and Zhenxiong. Since the establishment of the guild, we have always adhered to the working principle of “grasping information, building platforms, and providing services”, integrating industrial resources, strengthening internal self-discipline, publishing guild publications, establishing industry websites, conducting industry training, organizing convention and exhibition activities, and assisting the government. We have done a lot of work in the area of ​​industry management, effectively safeguarded the interests of the industry, and expanded the popularity of Ningbo presses at home and abroad. In November 2005, China's only quality inspection center for plastics machinery products was established and opened in the Ningbo Development Zone. It will play a positive role in safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and consumers, protecting the dominant brands, and promoting the healthy development of the press industry. In September last year, Beilun District of Ningbo was named by the National Ministry of Science and Technology as "The National Torch Program Beilun District Plastic Machinery Product Base". The above measures fully demonstrated that the governments at all levels pay high attention to the Ningbo press industry and created a long-term development for it. A good external environment.

V. Strong ability in scientific and technological innovation The backbone enterprises in the Ningbo press industry have basically the ability to independently develop products. In 2005, the output value of new industrial products reached 651.4 million yuan, which was 13% higher than that in 2004. In 2005, due to the impact of the continuous increase in international crude oil prices, the demand for plastics products was relatively light, but the output rate of new products in the industry remained relatively high and became a new bright spot for industrial development. In early 2005, Ningbo Haitian Group and Beijing University of Chemical Technology established Ningbo Haitian North Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., which is committed to the research and development of precision injection molding machines. The Ningbo Haitian Group Enterprise Technology Center has also been jointly identified by the Ministry of Science and Technology and other six ministries as " State-identified enterprise technology center." Ningbo Haitian Group Co., Ltd. will be listed on the stock market in Hong Kong in the near future. The company will mainly use the funds raised after the listing for scientific and technological investment, vigorously develop electric injection molding machines, precision injection molding machines, and large-scale second-plate machines. To inject impetus into the long-term development of the company, and strive to make Haitian Group the world's leading plastics molding machine company after two five-year plans of “11.Five.” and “12.Five.” Ningbo Haitai, General Motors, and Hengrun, or through cooperation with colleges and universities, are committed to product research and development, or the introduction of professional talents, and strive to enhance the ability of independent innovation. They represent the development direction of the Ningbo press industry.

6. Foreign capital landed Ningbo and Ningbo went to the world Ningbo and the surrounding areas had a good (plastic) supporting environment and numerous skilled workers. The “Yangtze River Delta” developed plastic machine market, like giant magnets, attracted world famous press companies. Come to settle in Ningbo Development Area, mainly Demag Germany, Japan Live Heavy, South Korea Ujin, Eastcom, Hong Kong Zhenxiong, Lijin, Fuxin, Nanxun, Jinji, Altai, making Ningbo quickly become a domestic The largest gathering of foreign presses.

The entry of foreign-funded enterprises brought advanced technology and management concepts, which changed the inherent competitive landscape of the Ningbo press industry. It showed that the traditional competitive industry of Ningbo Plastic Machinery entered the era of dancing with wolves, and will compete in the future. Reshuffling and integration are inevitable; at the same time, it also provides historical opportunities for the Ningbo press industry to promote independent innovation and upgrade the product technology level. The Ningbo press industry is currently at a crucial moment in its development. It promotes independent innovation, dares to compete with world-class companies, and strives to take a larger share of the “substitute import” cake, expand exports, and move toward the world. This is the Ningbo press industry. Historical choices.

To sum up, the plastics machine industry is an advantageous traditional industry in Ningbo and is an industry that the municipal government will support and give priority to in the next period. At present, the city is in accordance with the requirements of the scientific development concept, and closely focuses on building an important advanced manufacturing base in the southern wing of the Yangtze River Delta, further intensifying policy support, vigorously promoting the development and prosperity of the press industry, and focusing on enhancing the industrial agglomeration effect and brand. We have made efforts to turn Ningbo into a China's press production, research design and trading center.
