Analysis on the Prospect of SMEs in Jiangmen Machinery Equipment Manufacturing

In 2008, after the "Pearl River Delta Reform and Development Plan Outline" positioned Jiangmen as the province's advanced manufacturing base, the many Jiangmen machinery and equipment manufacturing companies that saw the bright future were really delighted, but the following two years coincided with The international financial crisis has brought a series of shocks. Some enterprises have been unable to participate in the existing local electromechanical industry support, and Jiangmen has adopted a series of enviable large-scale initiatives to win the LED industry initiative. The feeling of being left out is spreading among some mechanical equipment companies. Recently, at a workshop organized by the City Association for Science and Technology, Jiangmen Machinery and Equipment Industry Innovation and Development, some local machinery and equipment companies expressed their joy, worries and expectations.

Hi "Orders can't be made more than one"

After the outbreak of the international financial crisis, most of the export-oriented enterprises in Jiangmen encountered the dilemma of reducing orders. Mechanical equipment companies were not spared, but the crisis also brought opportunities.

As we all know, the SMEs under the international financial crisis are faced with such problems as difficulties in financing, rising raw material prices, rising labor costs, appreciation of the renminbi, and shrinking markets, which greatly affect the state of existence. Jiangmen's machinery and equipment manufacturing industry is mostly dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, and it can be said that it is a group of brothers who suddenly come to the fore. But now it has stepped into the post-crisis era, but it is difficult for the brothers and brothers to stand up and sit down to discuss their own way out.

A company downstream of the machinery and equipment industry uses its own experience to interpret the argument that machinery and equipment manufacturing has a bright future in the post-crisis era. Located in Xinhui, Guangdong Baoli Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. is a Sino-foreign joint venture specialized in the development, production and export of home appliances. It supplies more than 200 million yuan worth of new products such as decorative ceiling fans, motors and vacuum cleaners to the world every year. Great attention from the industry.

However, such a company that has come to the forefront has encountered multiple "ambushes" in the international financial crisis. Lin Wenkang, deputy general manager of the company, said that after the financial crisis, the company’s orders fell, workers went, and recently the US market rebounded. Orders have increased significantly, but workers who have been removed are hard to come back with, even if they can get it, labor costs are It was not what he had been able to compare, so he made things that made him stare at the fat but he did it.

Recently, the company received an order from Wal-Mart that required one million products to receive delivery within two months, or not to receive it. At that time, it did not ask enough workers. “I first thought of updating equipment, replacing people with automated equipment, and recently ran around to find equipment, such as automatic off-line equipment for electric motors, automatic processing equipment, and automatic welding equipment for fans.... The equipment took more than 2 million yuan.” Lin Wenkang’s intention is clear: labor costs have skyrocketed, and many companies are seeking to update their equipment to achieve automation, so the outlook for machinery and equipment manufacturing is surprising.

Founded in 1998, Jiangmen Jiatie Automation Co., Ltd. is a hi-tech enterprise in Jiangmen that develops, develops, manufactures, and sells high-speed CNC engraving machines, engraving and milling machines, and other products. As a truly solid mechanical equipment manufacturing enterprise, it has experienced What are the prospects for mechanical equipment manufacturing in the market inspection in the following years? The person-in-charge of the company is quite familiar with the feeling of “Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet”.

The company’s chief engineer, Chen Wannian, said that Jiatie had only a dozen people a decade ago. At that time, it produced 20 units a year. It averaged one or two units a month, but now there are more than 500 companies and more than 500 units a year. The output scale can be ranked second in the country. He believes that the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry has broad prospects, especially in the past few years, the market demand is very strong, the company's current output doubles every year, orders can not be made too much.

“An overall feeling is that, as early as the past few years, our company has been arduously running the market, asking others to buy our goods. Now it is people who come to us and force us to make machines.” Chen Wannian is quite proud.

Worry about failure to integrate into the local industry chain Even with such bright prospects, some machinery and equipment manufacturing companies in Jiangmen still face some troubles, such as difficulty in integrating into the motorcycle industry chain. So at the seminar that day, a debate about the direction of Jiangmen's machinery and equipment industry began...
Lin Wenkang, who is busy updating automation equipment, said that the company needs to purchase more than 2 million yuan of equipment, most of them go to Foshan, Dongguan, and Shenzhen to buy it. As for Jiangmen, it is either a little knowledge of the machinery and equipment manufacturing companies, or it is The technological content of such enterprises is not high, and local machinery and equipment manufacturing companies cannot earn this money.

"The equipment we need does not necessarily have to be high-tech equipment. Of course, we can have higher and better technical content, but we always feel that such enterprises in Jiangmen can form too few scales." Lin Wenkang's words revealed frustration and regret.

Li Jianchun, the general manager of the motorcycle company Shupu Technology Co., Ltd., said that four of the company's equipment were struck by lightning, but because they were all purchased from outside the company, the equipment had to be sent to Siemens in Beijing, and the longer it took, the greater the loss. "If Jiangmen has such a powerful machinery and equipment manufacturing company, it can become a point for Siemens here. That would be good." Li Jianchun also felt helpless about the status quo.

A similar experience is the Jiangmen Huari Group Co., Ltd., a motorcycle company located in Panxia District, Pengjiang District. “The motorcycle industry is one of the pillar industries in Jiangmen, but we can hardly find any manufacturing equipment in this area in Jiangmen.” The company’s deputy chief, You Zhijun, said in almost a whining tone, “Don't say the engine, It is the general assembly line tire pressure machine to go outside Jiangmen to buy."

You Zhijun thinks that the motorcycle industry in Jiangmen has more host plants, but the development of parts and components has yet to be tapped. He listed a series of data he had summed up: There are only two or three wheel-frame welding and steering wheel manufactures. There is one clutch on the Chaolian Street, and the engine is even less...

Jia Tie, a local equipment manufacturing company, was not taken for granted. The company’s chief engineer Chen Wannian said that it is not local companies that do not have production capacity or how bad the technology is, but local motorcycle companies do not buy. "Perhaps the fame is not big enough, people do not look down on us. Five years ago, we went to the Cheung Kong Group to sell our products. We hope to participate in the motorcycle industry chain. As a result, we are informed that domestic goods are..." A thumb down gesture and then silenced.

After a few moments, he went on to say, “I was secretly determined at that time to make high-quality machinery and equipment and fight for myself. Although we have a gap between Japan and South Korea and Taiwan’s machinery and equipment, many of our technological gaps are already It's shrinking, even flat."

This is destined to a debate full of controversy. Peng Qianzhu, the relevant person in charge of the Dachangjiang Group, immediately stated his attitude. Although he speaks at a low volume, he has a good word: "A large company, according to last year's output, produced 10,000 units a day. , if your equipment has a problem and stop for one minute, who is responsible?"

The scene instantly fell into a ambiguous atmosphere.

Looking forward to the government’s efforts to increase industrial support, whether it is the self-deprecation of Jiatie’s slightly embarrassing or the worries of Dachangjiang, it reveals an unspoken status quo: The existing local electromechanical industry, especially the pillar industry, motorcycles are more determined. The key to the problem is that local machinery and equipment enterprises are not recognized by the local machinery and electronics industry in terms of quality and scale. Therefore, the government should increase its support for the local machinery and equipment manufacturing industry. , becoming another focus of the seminar that day.

The discussion of this topic stems from the city government's strong support for the LED industry in the past two years, especially for LED companies that have been granted a subsidy of 10 million yuan per MOCVD purchase. This has led to many local machinery and equipment manufacturers. Very envious.

There is a voice at the scene that the government's support can also be reflected in other aspects, such as loose financial policies, increase the cultivation and introduction of mechanical and electrical professionals, and the establishment of an information platform.

Li Jianchun, general manager of Shuopu Technology Co., Ltd., said: Why should we buy someone else instead of buying you? In addition to product quality and information communication, there is actually a financing problem in this area. The government should play an important role in this. For example, he said that in the transactions with Shenzhen companies, Shenzhen’s banks gave great support to both sides. The local government has formulated loose financial policies, such as adding some collateral items that can be paid in installments, which will activate the flow of funds. He therefore called on the government to issue relevant policies to encourage closer cooperation between local electromechanical companies and local machinery and equipment companies.

Jiang De, vice president of Jiangmen Machinery Equipment (Bearings) Co., Ltd., echoed the proposal. He said that the machinery and equipment manufacturing industries in Zhejiang and Jiangsu are very developed and the local financial industry has played a key role. "Small and medium-sized enterprises are small customers after all, the risk is an important consideration, and there is not so much manpower to serve. Therefore, a financial company has been set up between banks and enterprises. First, financial companies go to banks to borrow money and then borrow. For companies, factories and equipment can be mortgaged, after the company signed the contract, the financial company to pay, so that SMEs in the financial pressure is not so great, to achieve borrow money."

Another urgent problem to solve is information communication. At the seminar site, some companies did not know exactly how many mechanical equipment manufacturing companies in Jiangmen could become their own suppliers or customers, and even after they bought products in Tianjin and Northeast China, they discovered that such products were also sold in Jiangmen. White walks many roads. “Mechanical equipment manufacturing companies need government policy resources in particular, but they also need talents and information resources. We especially hope to have an authoritative platform to help us find talents and new technologies,” said Zheng Jianyong, chairman of Yatai Automated Polishing Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangmen City. .

Chen Guorong, general manager of Jiangmen City Ruirong Pump Co., Ltd., hopes to return to the key factor of the labor force. “We have about 100 factories in Jiangmen, but schools in South China rarely have organic power. We lack machinery. Talent, I hope the school and the government can communicate more and help the company solve the labor problem."

The seminar took more than two hours. Both the arguments were put on the table, and good suggestions came into being. On the whole, Jiangmen Machinery and equipment manufacturing industry has already seen the prospect of the industry and is also striving to break through the self. “The LED industry has set off the first wave of climax, and the municipal government is pushing new materials. I think that for these small and medium-sized enterprises, it is time for the advanced manufacturing industry to do their part.” Li Jianchun, general manager of Shuopu Technology Co., Ltd. Meaningful. Hope this is not just a wish.
