Shenzhen's new equipment manufacturing industry wants to fly

The reporter learned from the recently held “Strengthening of Equipment Manufacturing Industry in Shenzhen under tight constraints—Shenzhen Machinery Industry Entrepreneurs High-Level Forum” recently held by the Municipal Machinery Industry Association. The Municipal Trade and Industry Bureau is stepping up efforts to develop “Shenzhen to speed up the development of equipment manufacturing industry. Several opinions, the city will adopt a number of incentive measures to promote the development of equipment manufacturing industry, and proposed that the city's equipment manufacturing industry will achieve an added value of 200 billion yuan by 2010, accounting for 45% of the city's industrial added value.
Experts from the Municipal Trade and Industry Bureau pointed out that compared with some domestic industrial cities, Shenzhen is almost a “blank” in large-scale machine manufacturing and other fields. However, in the areas of electronic communications, electromechanical integration and other fields, the competitiveness of the city’s equipment manufacturing industry is strong. It is one of China's new equipment manufacturing bases. Program-controlled switchgear such as Huawei and ZTE, as well as CNC machine tools, medical devices, instrumentation and other industries, have unique advantages in the country. In addition, Shenzhen is one of the three central cities identified by the Guangdong Province as a key development equipment manufacturing industry.
According to statistics from relevant departments, in 2003, the value-added of the city’s equipment manufacturing industry was more than 80 billion yuan, accounting for nearly 30% of the city’s GDP, and exports accounted for more than 60% of the city’s total. According to preliminary estimates by the Municipal Trade and Industry Bureau, last year, the added value of the city's equipment manufacturing industry was about 100 billion yuan, accounting for 41% of the city's industrial added value.
Wang Xiaochun, deputy director of the Municipal Trade and Industry Bureau, said at the forum that from the perspective of Shenzhen's industrial advantages and environment and the country's “11th Five-Year Plan” industrial policy, the city’s equipment manufacturing industry is welcoming a golden opportunity for good development.
Initially delineating the four key development areas Wang Xiaochun revealed that the Municipal Trade and Industry Bureau is currently conducting a study on the development of equipment manufacturing industry in Shenzhen, and is preparing to formulate a medium and long-term development plan for the equipment manufacturing industry in the city, and puts forward six strategies for developing equipment manufacturing industry. Support a group of key enterprises and projects, and give policy support in terms of land, capital, and listing. The Municipal Trade and Industry Bureau initially defined the four key development areas of the equipment manufacturing industry, namely, atmospheric engineering and environmental protection equipment, water treatment equipment and large equipment for material recycling, major engineering automation and electronic measurement equipment, high-speed CNC machine tools, and integrated circuits and electronic raw materials. , communications switches, biological engineering, medical equipment and other equipment.
Enterprises should learn how to raise funds from the capital market has always been a big problem for equipment manufacturing companies. Yang Chaohui, the general manager of Shenzhen Han Digital Laser Technology Co., Ltd., recommended that banks increase financial support for the equipment manufacturing industry. He said that equipment and equipment generally have a long production cycle and require large amounts of capital. When the user purchases, the payment cycle is long, and the phenomenon of default on funds is very common, which can easily cause capital shortage for manufacturing enterprises. Internationally, banks (including domestic foreign banks) have adopted the method of buyer credit, as long as the equipment arrives, the bank immediately pays the manufacturer. At present, domestic banks have not developed a buyer's credit procurement method, which has caused domestic equipment manufacturers and foreign-funded enterprises to lose their financial advantages.
Cheng Chunsheng, an expert of Shenzhen Securities Information Co., Ltd. suggested that Shenzhen machinery companies can use the capital market to solve financing difficulties. Since China’s first equipment manufacturing enterprise was listed on the market in 1993, the total number of listed companies in the securities market equipment manufacturing industry in China has reached 244, with a financing amount of 100.6 billion yuan, of which 9.1 billion yuan was for the initial issuance of stocks, and 14.4 billion yuan was for additional issuances. Allotment financing was 76.1 billion yuan. Cheng Chunsheng said that listing is not as difficult as it used to be. The Shenzhen Stock Exchange has simplified procedures and can be listed in one year.
Urgent need for the establishment of specialized machinery and equipment production gathering base Some responsible persons of machinery enterprises pointed out that the machinery and equipment manufacturing enterprises have relatively special production conditions and occupy a large amount of land. The production plant needs two or three storeys. Now Shenzhen's standard factory space is small, and some mechanical equipment companies have no choice but to build temporary iron houses. Some even break open the first and second floors and reinstall production equipment. It is hoped that the government will establish a production gathering base specifically adapted to machinery and equipment enterprises and establish standard industrial plants and supporting facilities.
The president of Deweisen Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. believes that in order to develop a good equipment manufacturing industry, it is necessary to engage in cluster production and refine the division of labor. This task cannot rely solely on the government. It is up to the enterprises themselves and industry associations to work together and cooperate in order to make the internal division of labor within the industry more detailed.
