Domestic fasteners go to the world knowing each other can be victorious

As a first manufacturing country of fasteners, our production company has experienced hardships for many years. Since joining the WTO in 2008, we have been frustrated overseas and have suffered. Although we have little success, we still cannot get rid of 'indigestion'. What is the embarrassing situation of "outside the enemy"? Is it a quality problem or a technical problem? I believe that the key to the problem is not here, but that our development model has drawbacks.

There is a wide gap between the standards of the industry's products and domestic comparisons with foreign countries. It is not difficult to find that there is a big gap between the two. As far as the material standards of fasteners are concerned, domestic product standards generally do not specify specific material steel grades, and only require chemical composition requirements for mechanical performance grades. In contrast, individual US standards such as ASTM standards will The specific steel grades are specified. Because there is no corresponding steel grade in China, and it cannot be accurately docked with international standards, it will naturally bring certain difficulties to the export. Although some domestic enterprises have already begun to realize this, they have developed new steel grades stipulated in the foreign fastener standards. However, this is only a small step in the progress, and international standards have yet to be promoted and improved throughout the industry.

The position of fastener companies in China has always been not very clear about their positioning, blind production, and lack of matching and cooperation with the host companies. It can be said that the vast majority of domestic fastener companies' products are only produced in batches according to a unified standard. They do not care whether their products can meet the matching requirements of the mainframe products on the market. They are blindly pursuing their own factory volume, and thus tightening. The part became a 'universal' fastener, but it was difficult to guarantee the mechanical stability of the host application.

Compared with foreign branded products, what we lack is the 'dedicated' dedication. When it comes to this issue, I very much agree with the OEM development model mentioned by Mr. Wang Changjiang, an expert in the engineering machinery industry. This concept has been developed in the fastener industry. The same applies, that is, the aforementioned fastener production companies need to cooperate with the host company, which can be one-on-one or even one-to-many.

I think that if we want to make our fastener industry battle the international battlefield and battle it out, first of all, 'grass and grass' first, which is the perfection of industry standards, and take advantage of alliances with the host companies, plus their own technical quality to win their own piece. country.

Specifically speaking, one is the lack of sound industry standards, and the other is that the fastener industry as an important component of the accessory industry is not accurate enough for the positioning of the fastener industry, in other words, there is a long-standing conflict between the host company and the host company. The state of the pattern. This is where our fastener industry has always been unable to break through international barriers, rush out of the world, and the crux of the war. It is also our biggest obstacle to losing to foreign brands.
