In our country, about 40% of the production capacity of Lyke valve will set up provincial and ministerial export valve product quality demonstration parks
Valve market at the market level, after years of development, valve manufacturers in the field of rapid increase, valve production and manufacturing level has a relatively large increase, valve production has a substantial increase. Most of the main products of the valve can meet the demand of the Chinese market, and the ratio of the valve market, the capacity of complete sets of equipment and the level of complete sets of equipment are greatly improved. In addition to the expansion of the electric power energy market at the present stage, the demand for valves for crude oil, chemical plants, electric power engineering and especially nuclear power plants increases rapidly.
At this stage, the valve processing industry is in a very helpful period of development. This is mainly due to the long-term stable development trend of our economy, fixed investment gradually expanded. In particular, the construction of such projects as Sichuan gas transmission to the east, eight horizontal and eight vertical, and south-north Water diversion project requires a large number of valve commodities and supporting facilities; In addition to the birth of the WTO, import and export trade reduced and the capitalist countries adjust the product structure, so that the production of new products in China valves encountered better development.
In our valve field about 40% of production capacity empty themselves
So, valve manufacturing enterprises how to grasp this major opportunity to accelerate the construction?
Promotion and joint reorganization
It is understood that at this stage our country valve production and manufacturing enterprises is about 5000 several, but most of the starting point is low, small scale, poor product research and development ability, only refer to domestic and foreign product structure and samples, do some digestion work. There are two main reasons for this situation: First, from the composition of science and technology personnel and capital investment, the total scientific research of the valve field is not up to 10% of the number of workers, scientific research investment is lower than 3% of annual sales; Overseas companies that spend 4 percent of their annual sales on research have to keep up production. Second, in terms of labor efficiency, each person in foreign countries is 138,000 dollars per day, while the average person in Japan is 95,000 dollars per day, while the average person in China is only 30,000 yuan per day. Ups and downs so big, China’s valve manufacturing enterprises can not cause shock in the market, and the competition between international competitive enterprises is more difficult. To change this situation as soon as possible, apart from the efforts of the enterprises themselves, the effective way is to use the cooperation between enterprises, enterprise merger, reorganization to achieve the capital expansion of the enterprises, so as to further expand the market share.
Xu Wei, assistant dean of Business School of Capital University of Economics and Business, said that in recent years, foreign enterprises are accelerating into the field of Chinese valves, and began to integrate Chinese enterprises, committed to using the fist method to carry out market competition with Chinese enterprises. For example, Watts Industry Group first invested 21.5 million dollars to acquire Shida Plumbing Installation Machinery Co., LTD., Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, and then spent 25 million dollars to build Tianjin Watts Valve Co., LTD., in Tanggu National Marine High-tech Park, Tianjin. This kind of behavior of Watts is very popular in the international financial field, which is the direction of the development of China’s valve industry in the future. If conditions permit, look forward to China’s valve field strive to use 3 to 5 years to build a number of annual output value of more than 500 million or even 1 billion enterprise groups.
Adjust product structure
From the technical situation, in the field of valves in our country has now been able to produce more than a dozen large products, such as the globe valve, globe valve, gate valve, disc valve, valve, check valve, relief valve, plug valve, pressure regulating valve, pneumatic butterfly valve, steam drain valve, emergency cut-off valve and so on, the high application temperature is more than 570¡æ, the low is -196¡æ, and the high pressure is 600Mpa. Datong car diameter to 5350mm.
Although such products have strongly assisted China’s economic and social development, we should deeply see that a lot of Chinese valve products still rely on imports, while most of the domestic valves belong to low value-added, labor-intensive products, very few with global standards. According to statistical analysis of relevant departments, our country annual market turnover of valve market reaches about 50 billion yuan, in the more than 10 billion market is occupied by overseas valve enterprises. Taking Sichuan gas transmission to the east as an example, many valves required by the main road have been monopolized by overseas enterprises. In the bidding of Sichuan gas transmission to the east branch line task, only Chengdu Wanli Valve Enterprise and Sichuan Zigong High Pressure Valve Co., LTD bid.
Learn a lesson. To revive the national industry, to vigorously develop the valve field, we must implement technological innovation, adjust the product structure, and spare no effort to develop some advanced technology, high work value added, with global standards of valve commodities. For example, control valves and automatic valves include regulating valves, three-way waste valves, three-way diverting valves, valves; Gate valves include metal gate valves with hard seal, full electric welding, small diameter valves with high main parameters and supercritical extraction C12-A carbon steel valves in power plants, etc. In view of the high quality valve new product research and development, experts believe that: first, actively cooperate with colleges and universities, scientific research institutes, such as open high pressure valve factory and Chinese Academy of Sciences subordinate three-dimensional enterprise cooperation, successfully developed with the international leading level of power plant boiler main steam regulating valve, instead of imports; The second is the use of overseas cooperation or technological innovation, such as Sichuan Zigong high pressure valve Co., Ltd. through the introduction of Spain Simbilon enterprise’s professional technology, shorten the gap between domestic gate valve products and foreign. In addition, if conditions exist, enterprises can also open scientific research institutions, research and development of new products.
Expand commodity exports
According to the China General Machinery Industry Association valve Federation statistics show that the current domestic valve field production is more serious overcapacity, about 40% of the capacity to empty their own, to deal with such a huge overcapacity, the effective way is to implement diversified sales strategy, vigorously develop international markets. At present, the international valve market every year about about 6 billion ~7 billion yuan export valve, happy China annual export valve 150 million yuan, not enough international market demand 2%, because of this, foreign market development potential is very big.
So how do you expand this market? The industry said that opening up the international market first of all pay attention to the export of foreign trade personnel training, there must be a group of operation, understand foreign language professional foreign trade personnel to join the agent; The second is to understand how to use the Internet and information technology to capture business opportunities; Third, we can cooperate with some domestic foreign trade enterprises to expand exports in our own way. Fourthly, if conditions permit, the enterprise can distribute sales in overseas markets or open processing plants. In this respect, Shandong Yidu Valve Factory and Suzhou 526 Factory have well completed the expansion to foreign markets, the proportion of export commodities increased significantly, alleviating the disagreement that the Chinese market is not enough to order. In addition, to open up the international market, we also need to give full play to our own advantages and grasp the export goods. At the present stage, the valve export is mainly reflected in the labor-intensive products of universal valves. In addition, semi-finished products such as blank casting parts are processed. The export market prospects are also very good. According to incomplete statistical analysis, the proportion of property in the field of valve at present, the private sector accounts for 40%, state-owned make 30%, the other is three capital, class enterprises, forecast the next few years private and three capital enterprises occupy market share will expand further.
From the development trend of private valve enterprises in recent years, Tianjin is a symbolic area, and quite a few enterprises have formed a scale of operation, such as Kaiweixi, Bethel, Wuzhou, Chaoda, Xuanda, Liangjing and other enterprises, which means that private valve enterprises gradually turn to the middle market. At the present stage, state-owned enterprises in the field of valve because of historical factors, most of the burden is heavy, the system cannot be kept alive, poor management, but many enterprises still have the advantages of machinery and equipment, outstanding talents, technology, well-known brands and so on. For the rapidly developing private enterprises, although there will be no institutional regrets and historical burdens, their development process should pay attention to the improvement of enterprise management methods, the implementation of fine management, to prevent falling into the family and paternalistic regulation of the old.
