Fasteners, commonly known as screws and nuts, are basic mechanical parts, known as “rice of industry”, ranging from space shuttles, automobiles and mechanical equipment to tables, chairs and benches. The industry is a labor-intensive, capital intensive and high-tech strategic industry, and countries all over the world attach great importance to its development. After years of development, China has developed into the world’s largest fastener manufacturer. It is reported that there are nearly 10000 fastener production and trade enterprises in China, with more than 1 million employees, making a high contribution to employment. Domestic carbon steel fasteners are mainly used in automobile industry, electronic products, electronic equipment, mechanical equipment, construction and general industrial purposes. From the perspective of national production areas, the fastener industry in Wenzhou, Yongnian and Haiyan has the largest scale and characteristics.
1. “Fastener capital” Hebei Yongnian
Overview: after more than 30 years of development, Yongnian has more than 2300 production enterprises, gradually forming an industrial cluster and a huge market network. At present, 87 enterprises in the county have passed the ISO: 2000 international quality system certification. Last year, the investment in updating equipment exceeded 200 million yuan, the annual output of fasteners was 2.47 million tons, the sales volume was 17.3 billion yuan, and the production and sales volume accounted for 40% of the national market share. Recently, it was introduced China and Germany high-end fasteners with an investment of 400 million yuan, China SCREW world with a total investment of 380 million yuan and high-strength fastener base projects with a total investment of 10.7 billion yuan. The project ends China’s long-term dependence on imports of high-end products in this field.
Advantages: the sales volume accounts for nearly half of the national share, forming a good regional advantage. In addition, the local government has relatively more supporting policies for the fastener industry every year.
Disadvantages: in such a large industrial scale, the industrial structure lacks a leader, the product competitiveness is not strong, and there is a lack of alliance among enterprises, so there is no “voice” in the price determination of raw material purchase and product sales.
2. “Hometown of fasteners” Zhejiang Haiyan
There are more than 700 standard fastener manufacturers in Haiyan County, including more than 100 enterprises above Designated Size, which mainly produce about 14000 kinds of general standard fasteners, screw nuts, screws and high-strength long rod bolts. In 2006, the output of standard fasteners in the county exceeded 1 million tons, accounting for about 22% of the total economic output of the county, and the sales revenue was 4 billion yuan. Among them, 70% were exported, and nearly 200 million US dollars were self exported, Among them, the export volume of nuts accounts for 50% of that of Zhejiang Province, and the output and export volume of long screws rank first in China.
Advantages: leading enterprises gather. At present, Jinyi industry, a domestic fastener giant, is located in Haiyan, Zhejiang Province. Leading enterprises often play a good role in driving the rapid development of small and medium-sized fastener enterprises. In addition, the supporting public service platform related to the fastener industry is perfect, including the national fastener professional market, national fastener testing center and fastener surface The processing center has formed a relatively complete industrial chain from raw material supply, product production to equipment manufacturing.
Disadvantages: quality inspection reports from different parts of the country show that Haiyan fastener enterprises are exposed more frequently due to problems such as unqualified quality. In addition, most enterprises rely on foreign trade for orders, and the market structure is too single. If the overseas economic situation is poor, the Haiyan fastener industry base will also be affected the most.
3. Wenzhou fastener industry
Wenzhou fastener industry started in the 1970s and has experienced nearly 30 years of development. There are more than 3000 fasteners and upstream and downstream related enterprises in Wenzhou. A considerable number of enterprises still exist in the form of family workshops and mom and pop stores. In addition, there are about 10000 operating households distributed all over the country. It has developed rapidly in recent years, including more than 200 large-scale and high-grade enterprises with annual output The annual output value is about 10 billion yuan, accounting for about 30% of the national market share.
Disadvantages: in recent years, the land price in Wenzhou has soared. For enterprises with high pollution and high energy consumption such as the fastener industry, the government’s attention and support are relatively weak. Many fastener enterprises are forced to move out, and the number of fastener enterprises in Wenzhou has also decreased sharply.
Advantages: Wenzhou fastener industry started earlier among the three industrial bases. Years of accumulation and a series of difficulties encountered in recent years have made Wenzhou fastener enterprises aware of the importance of brand and image. In recent years, the external image of Wenzhou fastener enterprises has maintained a good situation.
