Foreign tools to attack the city to make a long way to domestic tools

Data show that in 2010 China's total amount of domestic tools was 29 billion yuan, in addition to supplying the domestic market, the export tool 7 billion yuan. In the same year, China’s tool consumption reached 33 billion yuan, ranking first in the world. This shows that last year China's domestic sales of knives on the domestic market were 22 billion yuan, and foreign brand cutter sales were 11 billion yuan, accounting for 1/3 of the tool consumption in China.

This is a field with a clear distinction in terms of competition. Although all are in the Chinese market, foreign brands are basically only competing with foreign brands, and domestic brands are basically only competing with domestic brands. People often use "domestic machine tools with foreign knives" to describe the lack of local tool industry, but to be precise, it should be high-end CNC machine tools with imported tools is the current normal.

International tool market Shen Zhuanghang, Honorary Chairman of the China Machine Tool Industry Association Tool Branch pointed out that China has become the most promising tool market in the world, and the multinational tool groups such as Europe, the United States, and Japan are in the post-crisis era development strategy. Without exception, all sales of tools in our country are preferred.

Recently, Walter, the world's manufacturer of carbide cutting tools, announced that it will set up its Asia Pacific headquarters in Shanghai, China, so that it can use China as the center to radiate all over Asia and provide more direct and convenient services to customers and better meet the needs of the Asia Pacific region. The customer's special needs. In fact, several well-known European and American cutting tool companies in Sandvik Coromant, Kenner, and Shantou had already moved the original Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore to China, and the reason was all to make it easier for China. User service.

“China is our most important market.” This is a word frequently mentioned by executives from foreign tool manufacturing companies in recent years. Why does the Chinese market receive such attention? There is no reason for this, just because sales in China have risen steadily.

Walter Pertner, Greater China President, said that Walter's development in China was accompanied by the rapid and rapid development of China's manufacturing industry. The employees of Walter (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. have grown from the initial dozens of people to more than 200 people nowadays. The sales amount has grown from zero to several hundred million yuan now, and has become a cutting-edge tool manufacturer in the Chinese market. He hopes that by 2020, the proportion of China's business volume in Walter's global business volume will increase from the current 10% to 30%.

Some people say that China's cutting tool market is a rare and truly global market. Because the international and large-sized tool companies have all set up offices in China or are sold through agents, tool products from Germany, Japan, the United States, Israel, South Korea, Sweden, France, Italy, Spain and other countries can be seen everywhere on the market.

Especially in recent years, the technological development in many high-end manufacturing fields in China has brought new demands to the tool. For example, automotive tools must be characterized by high efficiency, high quality, high stability, and specialization. With the continuous development of the automotive industry, new requirements have emerged. From a technical point of view, there are mainly heavy-duty and composite technologies. The trend of specialization, standardization, high speed, and variety of varieties. In the aerospace manufacturing field, with the wide application of difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium alloys and high alloys, it has become a very important topic for industry to discuss how to properly select and use cutting tools for efficient and high-quality cutting.

In order to firmly grasp the Chinese market, foreign tool manufacturers are carefully studying the needs of China's equipment industry. For example, Seco and Iscar Tools subdivide their own technical team. From the product category to the industry category, there is an experienced team to provide service support. The Die & Mould Industry Group, the Automotive Industry Group, the Aviation Industry Group, and the MTB Group There are also new energy industry groups.

In terms of products, based on carbide-based cutting tools, in order to adapt to high-speed cutting, dry cutting and other special requirements, companies are trying to introduce new tool materials, coatings and geometric shapes.

With the continuous changes in the Chinese market, it can be clearly seen that the international tool giants are quickening the pace of mergers and reorganizations. For example, Seco Tools acquired two American companies in 2010, one is a manufacturer of hard alloy end mills, and One is the manufacturer of wear-resistant diamond coatings. Most of its customers come from aerospace, power generation, and general machinery industries.

Li Yupu, manager of ISKA Shanghai Trading Co., Ltd., said that international tool companies started the wave of mergers as early as 5 to 6 years ago. This process of mergers and acquisitions has enabled several major global tool groups to further improve their product categories, continue to make strategic plans in the global market, and also make competition more intense. However, this benign competition brings higher quality products and better services to customers and promotes the development of the manufacturing industry. In addition, after the financial crisis, various countries are actively encouraging exports. China’s huge manufacturing market has naturally become the “cake” in the eyes of all countries. The intervention of new technologies, new products, and new services will surely enhance China's manufacturing industry as a whole and narrow the gap between China's manufacturing industry and the world's manufacturing industry.

Domestic tools have a long way to go compared with foreign cutting tool manufacturers. Domestic companies appear to be low-keyed. Although everyone knows where the gap lies, it is not unwilling to be called the title of “low-end homework”.

The national policy also sent "timely rain" at this time. In order to improve the innovation capability and overall level of China's equipment manufacturing industry, the state has promoted the implementation of the "high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment" major science and technology projects, among which, as an important part of the equipment manufacturing industry and an important basic process equipment in cutting, Tool technology is also included as a key part of the project. With the commencement of major special projects, it also brought about a new development.

On the morning of June 23rd, the 2011 Advanced Manufacturing and Tooling Innovation Application Seminar and the “Special Tool Innovation Platform” major special exchange was held in Zhuzhou, Hunan. Representatives of tool manufacturers and some user industries have discussed the current status of tools and their future development.

Delegates believe that these imported tools basically occupy the high-end customers in the machining industry. Especially in automobile engine manufacturing workshops, aircraft engine manufacturing companies machining workshops or steam turbine manufacturing plants, high-efficiency, high-precision machining tools are almost monopolized by imported tools, and it is difficult to see traces of homemade tools.

Shen Zhuangxing said that although domestic tool companies have made remarkable progress in the past decade. From the change of concept to the transformation of the system, the change of the company's structure and the change of the operating system will be followed by the improvement of product quality and sales growth. There are some domestic tool companies such as Zhuzhuang and Jinlu, which have already laid a good foundation through years of hard work and hard work. These enterprises attach importance to technological progress and have stable product quality, and are gradually replacing imported products. However, we must also face up to the gap between Chinese cutting tool companies and foreign companies. In summary, Chinese cutting tool companies lack the ability to innovate, lack the ability to promote, and lack service capabilities.

Therefore, in the current high-speed development of good times, the tool industry companies, especially key enterprises should be prepared to be prepared for safety, closely follow the development needs of China's modern manufacturing industry, start from adjusting the product structure, and resolve to seriously change the development pattern of the traditional standard tool. Vigorously develop modern and efficient cutting tools and greatly increase the industry concentration of the tool industry in China. Only in this way can we open up a new situation in the development of the industry.

He said that with more participants in the market, competition will surely become fiercer, and the pressure will be even greater. In particular, the market demand for cost-effective products also makes it possible to effectively control and reduce manufacturing costs. This is a major issue faced by various application industries. All of these require continuous improvement in technology, management, and other aspects. Of course, this pressure will certainly be transmitted to the upper and lower ends of the supply chain. Therefore, the tool industry also puts forward new requirements, such as further reducing manufacturing and sales costs. Further improve product performance.

It must be realized that most domestically-made tools are used in medium- and low-demand customer groups such as agricultural machinery, motorcycles, agricultural vehicles, general machinery, and middle and low-end machine manufacturing industries. The added value of products in these industries is relatively low, so the requirements for processing accuracy have only relaxed, so that the use of the cost is cheap. Although these areas are used in large quantities, the market is not small, but the added value of the tool is very low.
