2007 Plastic Machinery Mould Industry Development

In 2007, the national economy continued to grow rapidly, the equipment manufacturing industry developed well, and the international mold market environment improved, which effectively promoted the development of China's plastic mold industry. In all aspects, the development of the plastics mold industry in China in 2007 showed six characteristics.

Production and demand maintain rapid growth

In 2007, the development of the automobile and equipment manufacturing industry was better than originally expected, and the electronic information and other industries continued to operate at a high speed. The demand for molds, especially plastic molds, was strong in the domestic market. In addition, domestic molds have strong competitiveness in low-end products, the proportion of foreign customers purchasing Chinese molds continues to increase, and the industrialized countries shift the mold production to China to accelerate the trend, which promotes the production of China's plastic mold industry. It needs to be prosperous and the growth rate should reach 20%, maintaining a high-speed growth trend.

The level of technology has improved significantly

With the rapid development of the automotive industry, mold enterprises and products that entered the automotive industry in 2007 have increased substantially from the previous year. At the same time, the automobile constantly put forward higher requirements for the mold, which promotes the continuous improvement of mold technology level. In addition, the substantial increase in exports has also led to the continuous improvement of the level of domestic mold technology, because the export mold level is often higher than the domestic product requirements. In 2007, the level of domestic molds has been significantly improved, mainly in the following: the level of progressive die has increased rapidly; the length of large-scale progressive die has exceeded 3 meters; precision progressive die has been able to match high-speed punches of 2000 times per minute; hot runner molds and gas In terms of auxiliary molds, some have reached the international level; while CAD/CAM technology has been popularized, CAE technology has been applied more and more widely, CAD/CAE/CAM integration technology has been further developed, and achieved good results; new mold structure Innovations in new varieties, new techniques, and new materials have continued to emerge, with an increase in the number of patents; a number of molds with more and higher levels than in previous years have been recommended by the China Mold and Die Industry Association Technical Committee Review Panel as state-level new products.

Information management is effective

In 2007, information management was not only mentioned by many mold companies on the agenda, but also implemented, and companies already benefited from it. In the implementation process, relevant software at home and abroad competed on the same platform, the secondary development was fruitful, and the database was becoming more and more abundant. Through the implementation of enterprise information management, the production cycle of domestic molds has been shortened, production efficiency has increased, and corporate profits have increased.

High investment enthusiasm and initial appearance of clustering

In 2007, the market was prosperous in production and demand, and good prospects for development led many entrepreneurs and investors to invest in the mold industry, of which foreign capital and private capital were still the mainstream, and the investment enthusiasm was generally rising, and the larger technological transformation projects and new construction projects. This year is constantly emerging. Because the clustered production has the characteristics of facilitating collaboration, reducing costs, expanding the market, facilitating exchanges, and enjoying more favorable policies, this mode of production was further developed in 2006. There are already a dozen or so mold cities (or mold parks, agglomeration production bases, etc.) that already have a considerable scale, and more than a dozen are under construction, preparation or planning. In addition to cluster production, there are some places that are developing mold complexes and virtual manufacturing. These also have some advantages similar to cluster production.

Brand building is valued
