Botou Machine Tool Industry Leverages Investment to Transform

In the past few days, Botou City has sent 13 small groups of investment teams headed by county leaders to Yunnan, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and other places, and has started one-to-one docking with 91 key machine tool companies across the country. Air CNC machine tools and Shanghai No. 3 Machine Tool Plant expressed their investment intentions. At present, Botou City is under construction and pre-stage CNC machine tool projects reached seven, plans to invest more than 1.4 billion yuan.

"The Crossroads" is a necessary move to transform the machine is called "the mother of industry", machine tool manufacturing capacity, in particular, the combination of high and new technology in a CNC machine tool manufacturing capabilities, represents a regional industrial strength, especially the mechanical equipment manufacturing industry strength. Casting is the foundation of machine tool manufacturing. The current machine tool industry in Botou is derived from the foundry industry. Among the 480 foundry companies, there are more than 100 machine tool accessories and component manufacturers, and basically have various types of machine tool casting production capabilities. But for many years, except for small-volume production of gantry and gantry milling machines for individual use or occasional sales by individual companies, most companies just “marry for people”, supporting enterprises such as Shenyang Machine Tool Plant and Dalian Machine Tool Plant. The CNC machine tool representing the cutting-edge level of the machine tool industry is even more like a morning star.

According to statistics, in the CNC machine tool industry, all castings are worth only 10% to 20% of the overall price, while the value of core technology accounts for more than 80%. In other words, the profit that Botou Foundry can make is only 20% of the space. Due to the fact that the industry itself has low product quality, backward technological equipment, and small unit scale, there have been phenomena where individual companies compete for price and disorderly competition.

“It can be said that Botou Machine Tool Industry has come to a 'crossroads' to create a base for equipment manufacturing and realize the transformation of development methods. It is based on this, we have selected CNC machine tools as a breakthrough in industrial upgrading, large-scale, precision, high-speed CNC machine tools and advanced numerical control systems as the long-term development goals, the development of 'special special' medium and small size machine tools and universal machine tools as the current main attack direction, in order to achieve the leap from the parts to the machine." Botou City government officials said.

To achieve this goal, we cannot do without the project. However, with the strength of Botou's existing machine tool companies, the development of CNC machine tools is in vain. “Introducing strategic investors and relying on external forces to develop themselves will become an inevitable choice for Botou to develop the CNC machine tool industry. This is like planting trees. Introducing large projects is like planting large trees directly and eliminating the need for 'raising seedlings'. If you rely solely on the accumulation of 'snowball' from local companies, chances for development will be missed." He Fusheng, deputy director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce of Botou City, made an image metaphor to reporters.

“Inviting investment with preparations” must gain In 2008, the construction of Taiwan-funded enterprise Zhaofa Electromechanical started construction, rewriting the history that Botou and even Hebei could not produce CNC machine tools. For this project, Botou has been tracking for four years.

Last year, Shandong Lunan Machine Tool Co., Ltd., Botou Giants Co., Ltd., and Chengdu Guangtai Industrial Co., Ltd. invested RMB 300 million in the giant CNC machine tools, etc., and successfully signed the contract. Currently, Botou City is under construction and pre-stage CNC machine tools. Seven projects, plans to invest more than 1.4 billion yuan.

“We firmly believe that as long as you go out, you will have a harvest. If you don’t get a project, you’ll be able to support it. The 'supporting’ will not be able to collect information. If information is not collected, you will be able to promote Botou and increase your feelings. Home, a few years time will certainly be able to form a cluster advantage, attracting more machine tool companies settled in. "Botou Municipal Committee Qi Kaitai said.

With the successful landing of a number of projects, Botou has strengthened its confidence in accelerating investment in CNC machine tool projects. This year, the Botou Municipal Committee and the municipal government have decided to focus on the investment promotion activities of the machine tool industry. From the national machine tool manufacturing enterprises, 91 well-known enterprises with investment intentions will be selected as the focal point, and small-group group “one-on-one” fixed-point negotiation will be held. On the basis of previous liaison, a special working group was formed for projects with investment intentions and timely follow-up.

"Prepared investment promotion" is the key to ensure the effectiveness of investment promotion. It is understood that the current China's machine tool industry is mainly distributed in the Northeast, East China and Southwest China. With the rise of the Bohai Economic Circle, these enterprises have the intention to deploy in North China, and Botou, with its foundry industry base, has become an important option for them. . In this regard, Botou City has been doing a good job in the packaging of investment projects. At the same time, it has used the channels of Botou and the investment enterprises, and the investment associations and industry associations to find companies that are interested in negotiating. For those companies with stronger capabilities and intentions for investment expansion, establish project information files and arrange special personnel to keep track of contacts.

In March of this year, Qi Kaitai led the team to Yunnan CY Group, inviting the company to cooperate with Botou Lutong Machine Tool Co., Ltd. to invest 300 million yuan in the production of CNC machine tool projects, with an annual output of 3,000 CNC gantry milling machines. At present, the project has been listed as a provincial key project, and the prototyping of the prototype is in progress.

In the centralized investment promotion activities in the past month, the 13 small investment groups in Botou City visited dozens of companies, such as Zhejiang Kaida Machine Tool Co., Ltd. and Shanghai No. 3 Machine Tool Plant, which have entered the top 500 manufacturing industries in China. During the visit, Anyang Forging Machinery Industry Co., Ltd., Anyang Xinsheng Machine Tool Co., Ltd., Nanjing CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Gaojing Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. said that they will visit Botou for field visits and discuss cooperation in the near future. Shanghai No. 3 Machine Tool Plant proposed on the spot that Botou recommended two foundry companies with good casting quality, moderate price, and providing machining to seek cooperation.

If the planting of Phoenix in the introduction of Phoenix, if the industrial base is the hard foundation for investment promotion, then the environment suitable for investment is the “Indus tree”.

Based on this, Botou City, on the basis of continuously strengthening service efficiency and optimizing the development environment, has issued a series of preferential policies, compiled the development plan of the CNC machine tool industry, and planned a 1 square kilometer digital industrial park in Botou Industrial Park. , Do a good job in infrastructure construction such as water, electricity, roads, and telecommunications, and set up a platform for industrial clustering. At present, besides projects such as Megafax, giant heavy industry, Lutong Machine Tools, etc., are under construction or ready for entry, Beijing Kaoli is investing 250 million yuan. Special CNC machine tools and other projects have also reached initial investment intentions. The first 4S shop in Shenyang North China Machine Tool Plant will also settle in Botou.

At the same time, Botou City relying on the Botou Vocational College, Botou Vocational School and social training institutions to strengthen the training of skilled workers, the introduction of high-end talent for enterprises to provide policies, funding and other aspects of support; active and well-known institutions, research institutions Establish cooperative relationships and help companies build bridges in personnel training and transformation of scientific and technological achievements.

A person in charge of a CNC machine tool company in Jiangsu told the reporter that some of their machine tools were originally commissioned in Yunnan and the production and transportation costs were relatively high. After learning about the industrial advantages and support measures of Botou, this investment attracted confidence in their investment in Botou. It is preparing to establish a foundry in Botou and put bare metal machine tools into Botou.
