The machinery industry needs a group to warm up

Due to the debt crisis in Europe, the appreciation of the renminbi, the reduction of foreign trade products, the reduction of the “three major plants”, the dramatic increase in the cost of human resources, the increase in energy costs, the increase in raw material costs, the increase in financing costs, the sharp decline in product prices and profits, and other factors at home and abroad In the second half of 2011, the situation in the machinery industry in our city has shown a declining trend, and some companies are facing problems of survival. In particular, in 2012, the “cold stream” of the machinery manufacturing industry swept through and became a difficult situation for the private machinery manufacturing industry in Deyang. In 2013, what is the status quo of the machinery industry in Deyang, whether the situation is optimistic, and when will it be able to get out of the "winter"? On March 15, the reporter learned from the Chamber of Commerce of the Machinery Industry of Deyang City that at present, there are more than 1300 machinery manufacturing enterprises in the city, of which less than 10% of the profits of the production enterprises.

The industry presents the "1342" pattern

As a national reloading industry base, Deyang has more than 1,000 private small and medium-sized enterprises in addition to leading enterprises such as Dongqi, Dongdian, Erzhong, and Dongguo. The products cover metallurgy, power stations, petrochemical, transportation, mining, drilling, Marine engineering and other industries are an important link in the chain of the reloading industry in Deyang, with more than 100,000 employees. The machinery industry situation is related to the city's economic development and social stability. Due to the influence of the state's macro-control and the significant reduction in the number of leading companies, the machinery industry is in a very difficult period.

According to the investigation and incomplete statistics of the Municipal Machinery Chamber of Commerce, the current situation of the privately-owned machinery manufacturing industry in our city can be divided into the “1342” pattern, namely:

Only 10% of the enterprises showed a prosperous situation in both production and sales, and the company's development situation was relatively good. This part of the company's dependence on the outside world is low, with strong technical strength and innovation capabilities, its own brand, independent products, markets and services.

30% of companies can operate normally but have low profits or no profits. This part of the company has a relatively fixed customer base, strong equipment strength and a certain degree of technical strength. It can support parts for large enterprises.

40% of companies can barely maintain, but the company is losing money. This part of the company lacks fixed customers, equipment and technical strength is relatively weak, and can only be supported by a single process. In order to maintain the basic operation of the company, it is known that there is no profit or loss of the list is only to bite the bullet and then. Some enterprises reluctantly stated that they are in a "dilemma" situation, and they are not doing nothing, but they are getting worse.

About 20% of companies are struggling to survive, even facing bankruptcy. According to reports, in 2012, 20% of the city's machinery industry enterprises were shut down. This part of the company has almost no fixed customers, weak equipment capabilities, and lack of follow-up development funds.

“Frozen feet are not a day's cold.” Yang Ming, executive deputy chairman of the Chamber of Commerce of Deyang Mechanic Manufacturing Association, said that the city’s equipment manufacturing industry cluster is large but not strong, relies too much on the labor force, extensive growth patterns, and a large number of backward production capacity is urgently needed. The irrational industrial structure, lack of core technologies, low added value of products, lack of comprehensive competitiveness, and oversupply have seriously hampered development. ”

The reduction in the development of orders is worrying. Reporters visited and learned that in the past two years, the orders of the privately-owned machinery industry have been continuously reduced, and the start-up has been obviously insufficient. Some enterprises have idled more than half of their equipment, others have stopped work, employees have taken vacations, and some companies have had to Mass layoffs. Some companies even reflected that at the end of the previous year, orders for the next year had been basically implemented, but the current situation was that the new orders that were handed in were relatively few or almost unrestricted.

Yang Ming stated that there are many reasons for the industry's difficulties. First, the production and operation of leading enterprises have shrunk. Because of the international situation, the adjustment of the country’s industrial structure, and the influence of wind power, nuclear power, hydropower, high-speed rail, and real estate, the growth rate of large state-owned enterprises has slowed or even declined, and their production and operations have been shrinking. Products available for expansion are inevitable. Will be greatly reduced. The second is that supporting enterprises have no R&D capabilities and it is difficult to undertake one-hand contracts. Most of the local small and medium-sized machinery enterprises directly or indirectly carry out simple process support for leading enterprises. The company itself has no R&D capability, has no own brand and competitive products, and is difficult to participate in domestic and international market competition, and is unable to undertake high value-added first-hand contracts. . Third, supporting enterprises lacked competitive advantages and local orders poured out. Due to the declining situation of the entire industry, many counterparts in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and other places also made great efforts to enter the Deyang market. The local small and medium-sized supporting enterprises are restrained by factors such as funds, prices, and equipment, and lack of competitive advantages, leading to a large number of local orders flowing to the coast. Fourth, poor policy guidance, follow-up development, repeated development, excess production capacity. In terms of industry development, in the past 5-10 years, due to the good development situation and opportunities faced by the machinery industry, coupled with the lack of necessary policy guidance and industry access mechanisms, a large amount of money has flowed into the industry. The phenomenon of development and repeated investment is very serious, resulting in serious overcapacity.

At the same time, financing difficulties also plague these private enterprises. According to reports, more than half of companies believe that it is "more difficult" or "very difficult" to borrow from banks. Because it is more difficult to get loans from banks, many companies have chosen private channels for financing, and private financing rates are as high as 24% or more, causing a serious vicious circle.

In addition, the city's small and medium-sized machinery manufacturing companies are also facing raw materials prices, financing costs, labor costs and other all-round rise, while product prices have continued to decline, profits fell sharply or even losses, some companies can not continue.

Warm “winter” expects to get out of the slump Yang Ming stated that in view of the difficulties and problems encountered in the current development of machinery industry enterprises, it is recommended that the government should focus on easing corporate financing and supporting fiscal and taxation, and supervise the finance and taxation departments. While implementing detailed policies to support enterprises, based on the reality of Deyang, we will speed up the formulation of practical measures to help SMEs increase structural adjustment and steadily achieve transformation and upgrading. “I hope the municipal party committee and the municipal government will actively promote various reforms, care about and support SMEs, and continue to create a more favorable external environment for the promotion of private economy development.” Yang Ming said: “Small and medium-sized machinery manufacturing enterprises urgently hope that the government can take the current difficulties and can Certain measures to give timely support to help them survive the "winter."
