Achieve 10 billion yuan in output value of instrumentation industry

â–  Since the start of construction, the Liaoning (Dandong) instrument and meter industry base has only been a year and a half, surpassing the total output value of the instrumentation industry in the previous half century.

â–  At present, merchants from the bases are coming and companies are competing to settle in. There are more than 310 contracted companies and 500 enterprises settled in the base. The output value will reach 10 billion yuan by the end of the year.

On October 8, the R&D and inspection center of the instrumentation industry base in Liaoning (Dandong) was completed, and at the same time, 100 companies in the second phase were collectively settled. From the start of construction to the present, the Liaoning (Dandong) instrument and meter industry base will reach 3 billion yuan by the end of October. Only a year and a half will surpass the sum of the output value of the instrumentation industry in the previous half century and create a miracle.

To develop the instrumentation industry, Dandong has certain basic advantages. In the 1960s, the State Council proposed that Dandong should be built as “Oriental Switzerland.” Watches, precision instruments, thermal instruments, ray instruments, and optical instruments have all developed rapidly, accumulating companies, products, talents, and scientific research for the Dandong instrumentation industry. All-round basic advantages. At present, the city has 160 production companies with instrumentation and over 10,000 employees.

In April 2009, our province confirmed the goal of building a Liaoning (Dandong) instrumentation industry base and built Dandong City into a modern instrumentation industry base with a scale of 100 billion yuan. Dandong City completed the preliminary development plan and issued industrial preferential policies in 20 days; within one month, investment promotion work was fully carried out, and the theme investment was a good show; after two months, the first phase of the starting area was a total of 200,000 square meters. The standard factory building on the upper beam; four months later, the start of the second phase of 26 buildings of a total of 300,000 square meters of standard factory construction. By the end of September this year, a total of 500,000 square meters of standard factory buildings, 40,000 square meters of R&D and testing centers, 100,000 square meters of Instrument and Meter College, and 20,000 square meters of integrated service centers have been completed in Phase I and Phase II of the starting zone.

The development of the instrumentation industry has found a new growth point for Dandong. It has also set aside a clock for the development of Dandong and has driven the development of the supporting industries in the city.

Infrastructure construction has been swift, and investment promotion work is in full swing. Dandong City established the Instrument and Meter Industry Base Administrative Committee to promote the city's instrumentation industry development and instrumentation theme investment promotion. Up to now, there are more than 310 enterprises in the industrial base that have signed a total investment of 7 billion yuan, showing a situation in which merchants are rushing in and companies are competing to settle in.

The establishment of an industrial base provides a good incubator for scientific research results to be rapidly scaled up, industrialized, and transformed into real productivity. After Liaoning Dongfa Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. entered the base, new product research and development continued to emerge. Direct-reading gas meters with domestic leading technologies in the same industry will soon complete the measurement product production license certification, and at the same time, a new type of heat meter jointly developed with Korea. The tables will also be completed in succession. In the past two to three years, the company could complete a product research and development. Now it can launch a new product in half a year. Of the 50 enterprises in the first phase of the start-up area that officially started production on April 25 this year, the proportion of high-tech companies has reached 40%.

Instrumentation companies stepped into the "fast track" of development through the integration of the base. Dandong Chengguang Auto Parts Co., Ltd. entered the base on December 29, 2009 and started production in March of this year. At present, the three production lines have been started across the board, with an average daily output of 1,250 sets, which has reached the standard production level. By the end of October, 130 companies will be put into production at the base and realize an output value of 3 billion yuan. It is estimated that by the end of the year, the industrial base is expected to complete the construction of a standard factory building of 1 million square meters, and settle in 500 companies, achieving a production value of 10 billion yuan.
