The Shanghai World Expo is now in full swing. Rui'an spare parts also successfully won the “pass†for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. The author recently learned from Ruili Group that the World Expo dedicated new energy passenger vehicle carrying over 10 types of parts and components of Ruili will soon be put into use in the Expo site. By actively expanding new market segments and upgrading product quality, Rui'an's parts and components industry has taken a solid step on the road to transformation and upgrading.
As one of the three pillar industries in Ruian, the parts and components industry has become one of the important clusters of automobiles and parts in Zhejiang Province. The products of more than 2,600 parts and components production units of Ruian involve more than 4,000 varieties such as complete vehicles, body accessories, engine parts and accessories, and occupy 5% of the market share of similar products in the country. Among them, half of the products are supplied to the domestic automobile aftermarket maintenance market, and the rest are used for domestic vehicle manufacturers' supporting and exporting.
Adjusting the product structure has become the first step for Ruian components to go out of the shadow of the financial crisis. Through undertaking the national automobile industry revitalization plan such as “automobile going to the countrysideâ€, Rui'an parts and components companies actively adjusted the domestic and foreign sales market and product mix, and quickly occupied the market by developing series of auto parts products such as agricultural vehicles and mini-cars. From January to November of 2009, when the export orders of Ruian's parts companies were reduced by half, the total output value of the companies on the regulations was 6.082 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.5%. Since January 2009, the first time they turned negative.
The development of vehicle production will become a breakthrough for Rui'an's parts and components to speed up industrial upgrading. In September 2009, the first heavy-duty truck produced by Genting Group and Shaanxi Automobile Group was successfully rolled off in Rui'an and Shaanxi Steam Genting became the first company in Wenzhou to produce whole vehicles. In 2010, with the investment of the new plant, Shaanxi Automobile Yunding's total vehicle production capacity will reach more than 7,000 vehicles, and it is expected that annual sales of 5 billion yuan will be realized within five years. In addition, after the China Europe Group introduces the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle production line, it will build a new vehicle production base with an annual output of 5,000 Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles. The estimated annual production value can reach 3 billion yuan. According to reports, more than 30% of the vehicle's production of accessories is produced locally, which will bring Rui'an auto parts industry an annual sales value of more than 10 billion yuan.
At the same time, the integration of marriage, Baotuan development has also become an effective way for SMEs to enhance their competitiveness. Forging business "Zhengchang" and auto parts company "Dawson" through cross-industry restructuring, integration of 30 parts and components, forging companies and a logistics company, forming a "forging blanks to the finishing and then finished parts" industry chain. In the future, “Zhengchang Dawson†will strive to improve product design and R&D, brand marketing, wholesale circulation, and terminal construction, and optimize resource allocation.
At present, more than 20 companies in Ruian City have established long-term trade cooperation relationships with the world’s top 500 companies and internationally renowned companies. Relying on existing advantageous resources, Rui'an parts and components industry is also exploring new ways to upgrade products. “Product modularization production is a good choice.†Zhang Jinmu, general secretary of the Rui'an Parts & Accessories Industry Association, explained that relying on the popularity and technological advantages of local large enterprises, the company combined a series of components produced by many small and medium-sized enterprises to form a “fistâ€. The products, together with FAW, Volkswagen and other domestic companies, can not only broaden the sales market, but also increase the efficiency of the company by more than 15%.
