Serious decline in production and sales, more urgent corporate transformation and upgrading

At present, China's machine tool industry is in the transition phase of development, that is, from the high-growth phase to a stable and rational growth phase. “The past decade has been a very brilliant period, and at the same time, the development momentum it relied on has undergone or will soon undergo a profound change in its certification. Therefore, our development path needs to be changed and the development model needs innovation. The Taizhou machine tools and tools company must be prepared for the future economic environment. Have a clearer understanding and grasp."

There is no ready-made common model for industrial transformation and upgrading that can be followed and applied. It is even more difficult to expect industry companies to implement transformation and upgrade in accordance with a certain pattern in a uniform manner. It should be a process of constant innovation. He pointed out: "Taizhou, as a privately-owned machine tool company, has developed rapidly. Many companies have their own characteristics. We emphasize transformation and upgrading. We must pay attention not to lose our own characteristics, but to grasp our own comparative advantages, determine our own development position, and gradually Explore the path of transformation and upgrading that is in line with its own reality, and make unremitting efforts to make its own competitive characteristics."

Liang Xunyi, Honorary Chairman of China Machine Tool Industry Association also believes that the development path of “special, special, and refined” machine tool companies is an effective way to promote China's machine tool industry from big to strong, and it is also in line with the industrial characteristics of China's machine tool industry - to adapt to the ever-changing needs of users , Organization of multi-species and small batch production. There are also more and more examples emerging in the industry. They combine their own advantages and characteristics to develop products that meet world-class products and replace imports to meet domestic demand. Liang Xunyi listed 8 machine tool companies including Changsha Yipai CNC Machine Co., Ltd., Suzhou Xinneng Precision Machinery Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Jack Machine Tool Co., Ltd., which took the “professional, special, and refined” route. The scale of these companies is not large, but the products they produce have made a lot of achievements in their respective fields. For example, the NC Piston Profiled Cylindrical Lathe and the CNC Piston Profiled Hole Boring Machine produced by Changsha are the key processing equipment for internal combustion engine parts and currently occupy the domestic market. The market share has reached 60^% and 90% respectively; CNC Honing Machines produced by Suzhou Xineng Co., Ltd. occupy a dominant position in the market competition, breaking the monopoly of imported machine tools; Jack Machine Tool has developed many alternative import products to enter the military and aerospace manufacturing fields. .

Among the many machine tools and tools companies in the Taizhou region, there are also many companies that have paid great attention to scientific research investment, have a fast product replacement, and have strong technical service capabilities, so that the company's operating conditions have not been affected much. For example, the sales of Zhejiang Jinjin CNC Tool Co., Ltd. in 2012 only fell by less than 5%. Zheng Jinbiao, the general manager, believes that paying attention to service and technical solution capability is an important reason for the advancement of Nissan in the competition. In 2012, Taizhou Meimei Machine Tool Co., Ltd. received a government incentive fund to honor its achievements in technological innovation—more than 20 patents.

Enhancing technical strength and R&D strength is an effective way to promote the transformation and upgrade of Taizhou Machine Tools and Tools Corporation. In order to change the status quo of the weak technical research and development strength of Taizhou Machine Tools and Tools Enterprise, Taizhou Machine Tool Industry Association signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Taizhou Science and Technology Association. Jointly establishing academician workstations, creating common technology research and development platforms, and providing a favorable environment for the transformation and upgrading of Taizhou machine tools and tools enterprises on a technical level.
