Hardware mold industry needs to increase investment in continuous efforts

With the development of the domestic hardware mold industry, the competition from various provinces has become increasingly fierce. The situation of disorderly competition in the hardware mold industry has begun to appear, and the disadvantages such as the low cost of hardware, the level of product structure, and the low level of technology are increasingly exposed. In the 1960s, the hardware mold industry began to rise in the South China Sea and peaked in the late 1980s. At that time, the threshold of the hardware mold industry was very low, and there was no need for any technology. With 30,000 yuan to buy some old equipment, it was possible to open a home-workshop-style metal mold processing plant. After more than 40 years of development, all types of hardware and mold processing companies have passed 10,000, the vast majority of which are labor-intensive small enterprises.

At present, metal molds already have strong competitiveness. The greatest advantages and strengths lie in both private and traditional industries. To enter the high-end market, can not do without high-tech. Recently, a joint venture between the Senior Technical School and the Institute of Modern Manufacturing Engineering of Zhejiang University, the two sides will build a rapid digital design and precision inspection center for molds to serve the local mold industry.

Domestic private mold enterprises generally have advanced equipment resources, relatively advanced technology applications, new technologies can be widely used in the industry, rapid, from design and manufacturing to related materials production, heat treatment, etc., to form an industrial chain, the advantages of integration is outstanding. However, Luo Baihui pointed out that due to lack of funds and lack of own brands, hardware mold enterprises will increase management and technological transformation investment, expand the proportion of high-end products, and establish domestic sales departments, and actively expand the domestic market.
