Long triangle mould industry development scanning

Long triangle mould industry comes from Shanghai. Since the 1940 s, Shanghai mold have been among the throughout the country. By the 1980 s, with the deepening of the reform and opening policy, the state department concerned to mould industry attention and support, and mould industry associations, and other social organizations propaganda and promotion in zhejiang province, some local government began to mould industry as the local pillar industry to support and foster. Such as yuyao city government issued a [2005] 47 wen, in 8 of article 25 of the mould technology promotion, standardization, informationization, the core competitive ability, the product structure, buy change machine tool equipment have concrete preferential policies. The mould in zhejiang industrial be even more rapid development, mould market scale in the national rank in the top tier. Mould industry of zhejiang province mainly concentrated in ningbo and taizhou, the two areas were mold production ChangDian 4000 DuoGe, including professional mold production enterprise home to more than 2000 employees, more than 10 ten thousand people, mold production value more than 200 yuan. The ningbo yuyao, ninghai, cixi and yinzhou mainly produces plastic die, beilun to die-casting die is given priority to, xiangshan and zhoushan and punching die casting die to give priority to. Ningbo mould output has more than 14 billion yuan. Taizhou main mold production enterprise concentrated in huangyan and bridge. Plastic mould accounted for most, mould output has more than 8 billion yuan. Zhejiang huangyan mould as local specialties, who had been in the United States at the Pittsburgh 17 th invention posted on the exhibition extended. The jinhua, wenzhou, hangzhou, shaoxing, jiaxing, also have a certain strength. The jinhua and wenzhou mold to sell for personal use is given priority to, has obvious characteristic. Other such as hangzhou's small precision mould and the shaoxing sanjiaodai rubber mold to wait to have a higher level. Jiaxing mold dermatoglyph processing and guide a production is known.

Zhejiang mould industry has six obvious features: 1, mould manufacturing enterprise is almost a private enterprise, flexible mechanism, the rapid development; 2, mould enterprise relative concentration, has formed the larger die market, can play a collective advantages; 3, mould in meet different demand at the same time, a high level of mould in fast development; 4, after DuoCi venture, has sprung up a group of high quality backbone key enterprises; 5, already formed naturally specialization, the main enterprise features; 6, to the local development of relevant industries plays a very significant role in boosting. To ningbo and as a representative of the zhejiang taizhou mould industry in recent years have been a year to 15 to 20% of the speed development, above the national general level of development. In recent years, zhejiang mould technology level is soon, in China mold and die industry association DuoCi assessment activities in the mold of zhejiang province quality more proportion. As in May this year at the 12 th China international mould technology and equipment exhibition, as pure mold prize (one, two, three classes of 162 items, zhejiang province) of 74 items, accounted for 45.7%. Due to the continuous improvement of the mould level, exports also have a greatly increase year by year, such as the 2007 export mould $212 million more than in 2006 $158 million increased by 34.2%. Now export to Europe, the United States, southeast Asia, Middle East, Japan, Russia, and Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other countries and regions. Mould development but also formed professional specialization, such as huangyan, ningbo area mold design companies, the mold cavity processing company, mould material, standard mould company and electric processing, polishing, decorative leather grain processing, testing, heat treatment and other professional cooperation processing centers. International mould and hardware and plastic industry, director of the institute of ROM the supplier Fraser points out, the zhejiang province mould manufacturing cycle is short, the cost is low, the mould products in domestic and overseas markets have mould strong competition, and the development of the mould pulled the industry development of zhejiang effect significantly, such as ningbo and taizhou of plastic products, auto &motorcycle parts, household appliances product output value over 80 billion yuan, has to local economic development play a very significant role.

The mould in jiangsu province development history in zhejiang province, later than private mould enterprise of zhejiang province is fewer. But jiangsu mould no matter from breed, scale and level are in the front row. The mould in jiangsu province mainly concentrated in Sue, tin, and often area, and nanjing, jiangyin, zhenjiang, xuzhou, yangzhou also have certain strength. Jiangsu province precision stamping dies in the national occupies a very important position, injection mould, casting mould and car panel die in China but also plays an important role. According to a survey, Saul Fraser suzhou, wuxi, electronic information industry rapid development, and formed a mobile phone, camera, laptop computers, such as LCD TV the IT industry in the mold and die industry, integrated circuit lead frame mold, and the integrated circuit encapsulation molds complex precision mold and die industry, etc. The nanjing Yangtze river, the kingdom of wuxi micro research, kunshan filled, the hon accurate, such as the production of huafu enterprise electronic components of the product precision progressive die casting, suzhou lampe, far light molds and enterprise mainly produces automobile engine and hub such parts as die-casting die and molding, changzhou huawei powerful enterprise production of the appliances precision injection mold, nanjing nac mould, jiangyin venture enterprise, suzhou huizhong production car panel die to expose the glass mould, the well-known tyre moulds, wujin numerous, kunshan large mold frame, zhenjiang ship mountain precision mold standard exported to all over the country. At present all kinds of mould enterprise of jiangsu province, and more than 2000 die an annual output value over 100 one hundred million yuan, in 2007 the export mould $192 million in 2006 to $132 million than a 45.5% increase, mold and die industry in the province become industry a new one. Japan, South Korea, Singapore, France, the Netherlands, the United States and China Taiwan, Hong Kong, sole proprietorship, joint venture, many private mould enterprise and too little.
The city of mould and development, also in jiangsu and zhejiang provinces of the development of the mould industry characteristics. Yuyao city, now the mould construction development area of 1.2 km2, reached a total investment of 1.08 billion yuan, more than 500 enterprises to settle. In 2007, sales have reached 2 billion yuan.
