Enhancing fastener technology will be a key strategy for China’s foreign trade exports

At present, China exports 600 million U.S. dollars of fasteners to the EU each year, imports 180 million U.S. dollars of fasteners, and imports fasteners are all high-end products with high technological content. As the EU raised its anti-dumping stance, it imposed a high anti-dumping import tariff of 64 to 87% on fasteners that China exports to the EU. This is a serious blow to the fastener industry, which hinders the rapid development of China's fastener industry, but it also accelerates the division and restructuring of the fastener industry in China. It is worthwhile for manufacturers to seriously and repeatedly take action.

First of all, to increase the technical level of fastener companies, we must begin with equipment improvements and technological advancement to produce high-end fasteners and replace imported products. I think that after various technical performances have reached the level of imported products, domestic companies will not be close to taking a long distance to import. This is a favorable trend for fastener companies in the current situation. In this respect, there are many examples. The Shanghai Santana sedans’ national production rate starts from zero and reaches over 80%. This is the product quality improvement of domestic enterprises and gradually replaced the successful cases of imported products. The fastener industry should also follow suit and strive for a share of some or even most of the high-end fasteners, alleviating the pressure to reduce exports.

Secondly, we must carefully study the EU's anti-dumping projects and categories. Anti-dumping measures have been put forward for steel screws, bolts, and washers. Nuts, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals have not yet been involved. Our domestic companies can adjust product structure to avoid Open anti-dumping categories to organize production and increase exports.

Third, the world market is vast and diverse. The traditional advanced economies such as the United States, Europe, and Japan have caused economic contraction due to the subprime crisis, and the potential for expansion has been limited. We must attach importance to emerging markets while safeguarding market share. The demand for fasteners is omnipresent. From aircrafts to automobiles to furniture and appliances, there is a vast demand. We need to segment markets and accurately position them. In Central and South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the former Soviet Union, these regions have a small share of China's export market. We can focus our attention on it, expand the market, and widen the fastener export road. Through hard work, it may appear that the west is not on the east side. Bright situation.

Fourth, facing the severe international situation, the state adopts active fiscal measures to increase investment and stimulate domestic demand. The investment of RMB 4 trillion will promote the development of our society and economy. In particular, large investments in railways and infrastructure will bring steel. The development of related industries such as infrastructure, machinery and machinery has made up for the decline in the share of exports. In the four trillion investment, fasteners will also occupy a certain market share. The fastener industry has accelerated the integration, improved the company's comprehensive capabilities, and improved product quality. When it pulls domestic demand, it provides high-quality products to make up for or recover part of the EU's anti-dumping product loss.

The damage caused by anti-dumping to the fastener industry in China is enormous. Apart from actively counterclaiming, we must also face up to reality, adopt targeted measures, increase technical investment, and increase product technology content. If enterprises can stand by in the wave of anti-dumping, I believe that these companies will have brighter future after the storm. Only the development of technology in the forefront of the survival of enterprises, China's fastener products can withstand the wind and rain, out of the old road of low-end product exports, the country from the fastener exports to China as a strong exporter of fasteners.

Zhenhai fastener industry status quo <br> <br> After decades of development, the district gradually formed a fastener regional development pattern to Dragon Lake town core, and radiation creek Pu, camel and other places. According to incomplete statistics, as of the end of 2009, there were more than 100 fastener manufacturers and supporting enterprises in the region, more than 50 enterprises above designated size, and realized sales value of about 2.4 billion yuan, and the total output accounted for about 1/4 of that in Ningbo. 1/32. From a comprehensive perspective, the fastener industry in our region has formed certain advantages in terms of popularity, product categories, and standardization construction.

"No-brand companies lack market initiative," said Zhang Xiankang, chairman of Ningbo Ningli Fasteners Co., Ltd. At the end of 2008, the company got the first Chinese well-known trademark of the fastener industry in Zhenhai District. Along with the triple jump of the product brand, the company's sales performance also increased from 50 million yuan before the brand creation to more than 500 million yuan.

However, unfortunately, in our district, fastener companies with strong brand awareness like Ningli are rare. According to relevant department statistics, among the more than 100 fastener enterprises in the region, those who have won the honors of China's well-known trademarks and Zhejiang famous brand products have only one company. They have only obtained Jinding fasteners as the sales leader of the fastener industry in the entire region. Zhejiang famous brand title. Taking sales in 2009 as an example, the output value of fastener brand products in the entire region accounted for only 28% of the entire industry.

According to the analysis report of the industry survey company Friedonia’s global fastener market, the global demand for industrial fasteners reached 53.6 billion U.S. dollars in 2009. The report predicts that the global demand for industrial fasteners will grow at an annual rate of 8.5%, reaching US$80.5 billion by 2014.
