Although in the statistical data released by industry associations, in the first three quarters of 2006, the sales volume of industrial key printing machinery manufacturers increased by only 4.6% year-on-year, and due to the increase in the prices of materials and energy, the appreciation of the RMB against the US dollar, and the profits of the industry. The total amount decreased by 4.6%. However, due to the incomplete statistics, the overall printing machinery manufacturing industry's growth in the first three quarters of 2006 should reach about 7% to 8%. Although the number of loss-making enterprises in the printing machinery industry increased in 2006, even a few companies that have been rare in the past years are on the verge of collapse. However, strong companies such as Sino-foreign joint ventures, private enterprises, group companies, and enterprises that adjust their product structure in a timely manner can still drive the development of the industry. There are also some companies outside the industry statistics that have also achieved good development performance.
In 2006, the theme of the printing machinery and equipment industry was conditioning rather than advancing. Although this strategy has slowed down the expansion of domestic printing equipment companies, the industrial structure and product quality have improved, making this year's printing machinery and equipment industry. The following new features have emerged: export market: strong export growth
The import and export of printing machinery has become one of the main driving forces for the development of the printing equipment manufacturing industry. In the first three quarters of 2006, the export value of major exporting enterprises reached US$72.121 million, an increase of 30.6% over the same period of 2005, and the export structure of printing machinery products began to undergo major changes. The export of parts and components decreased, and the export of complete machines increased. Such as: web printing machine, sheet-fed lithographic printing machine, web gravure printing machine, die-cutting machine, paper cutting machine, book binding machine, folding machine, paper surface processing and other equipment, rapid growth of exports, volume The cylinder printing press units began exporting to the US market in batches. Small offset printing presses also have a better market in the United States and Russia. Companies that have contributed to the increase in export volume of printers include Shanghai Goss Printing Equipment Co., Ltd., Shanghai Yahua Printing Machinery Co., Ltd., Shanghai Shenweida Machinery Co., Ltd., Beiren Printing Machinery Co., Ltd., and other companies.
High-end equipment: progress in industrialization
Sheet-fed multi-color printing presses have the advantages of good printing quality, high production efficiency, high automation level, and less auxiliary time. After the printing industry has gone through the initial stage of capital accumulation, it will generally be multi-colored for various kinds of open-sheet paper. The demand for printing presses has increased substantially. Therefore, in previous years, the import value of such equipment would have accounted for more than 25%~30% of the total import volume, and occupied more than 80%~90% of the domestic market. This amazing market demand has attracted the domestic printing equipment manufacturing enterprises. According to statistics, in 2006, three companies have already launched full-sheet multi-color printing presses (Northren shares, Jiangsu Changsheng, and Henan Xinxiang); five companies have produced multi-color printing machines (Northren, Shanghai Guanghua, and Shanghai Goss , Jiangsu Changsheng, Zhongjing Group); seven companies producing four-color printing presses (Shanghai Guanghua, Zhongjing Group, Beiren Group, Beiren Group, Qingdao Ruipu, Hunan Printing Machinery, Diversified Electric); six companies Production of eight-color multicolor printing presses (Yingkou Guanhua, Weifang Huaguang, Weihai Printing Machinery, Yingkou Sanxin, Weifang Eastern Airlines, Diversified Electric). There are also 2 to 3 companies that are developing four- and eight-color multicolor presses. Among the many manufacturers, there are 3 to 4 homes that have produced or sold more than 100 units. The large-scale production of multi-color printing presses has enabled China's printing press manufacturing industry to enter a new period of development. It can be expected that with the improvement of product technology and quality, the printing market will have a bright future.
Sino-foreign joint ventures: rapid technological advancement
In order to quickly improve the competitiveness of domestic printing equipment in the domestic and international markets, many companies have adopted international acquisitions, joint ventures, and factories to introduce technology to accelerate the pace of development. At present, Shanghai Electric Printing and Packaging Machinery Group is introducing Japanese technology after its successful acquisition of Akiyama, Japan, to accelerate the technical upgrading of Shanghai Guanghua Printing Machinery Co., Ltd.'s products. Beiren Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. has also established a joint venture with Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation to establish a Japanese-branded sheet-fed, multi-color, multi-color printing press that will soon be on the market. The four-sheet multi-color printing presses that Weifang Huaguang has cooperated with KBA in Germany have begun to take shape.
Land Replacement: Seeking Greater Development
In 2006, the two companies sought greater development through the use of off-site relocations. One is Weihai Printing Machinery Co., Ltd., which held the opening ceremony of its new factory on August 30, 2006. The new plant covers an area of ​​nearly 70,000 square meters. Apart from the newly built factory buildings and office buildings, there is room for further development. The company has a brilliant development history in the production of lead printers and offset presses. It has been at the forefront of similar products in the introduction of advanced technologies, privatization reforms, and the development of multi-colored sheet-fed presses, which has led to the emergence of privatization in the industry. The climax of restructuring. Now we are seeking land for greater development with land replacement, and we are at the forefront of small offset press production companies. The other company is Shanghai Ziguang Machinery Co., Ltd., which also realizes the relocation of land. This is the largest bookbinding equipment manufacturer in China, and also produces form printers and flexible board printers. With the continuous development of the company, the layout of the factory in the Shanghai area is small, and the layout of the building upstairs and downstairs seriously restricts production. Under the coordination of the Shanghai Electric Printing and Packaging Machinery Group, the overall relocation success is achieved, and this relocation initiative It will also greatly promote the company's extraordinary development.
At present, Weifang Huaguang, Guangxi Jinniu Qihong, Shaanxi Beiren, and Shui On Warwick are also cultivating the use of land replacement to seek greater development.
Safety Standards: Breakthrough Progress
In 2006, there were two major events worthy of industry attention in the standardization of printing machinery, and one was the “Chinese Forum on Printing Machinery Standardization†held at the 21st Century Hotel on September 9, 2006. The conference considered the process of global economic integration. In China, it is imperative that standardization work is in line with the world. Actively adopting international standards is the shortest way to establish a standardized system. It is extremely urgent to establish China’s technical barriers and safety standards system. This meeting has greatly increased the awareness of standardization among business leaders. influences. Another thing is that the two safety standards for printing machinery have been reviewed by the annual meeting of the Standardization Committee. These two standards are respectively the safety standards for paper cutting machines, the safety standards for post-press binding and paper processing equipment, and the establishment of these two standards. The history of the absence of safety standards in the printing machinery industry will be overcome, and new content will be added to the conformity assessment of products. At the same time, it will have an impact on the national quality supervision system and safety supervision system.
Although many local companies have achieved a good record, the strong invasion of foreign companies has also brought many uncertainties to the future of the printing industry.
The increase in the establishment of factories by foreign famous brand companies in China makes the competitive environment of domestic enterprises further internationalized. September 28, 2006 Heidelberg Company announced the establishment of the first wholly foreign-owned enterprise in Shanghai and the opening ceremony of the new assembly plant. In the early stage, it mainly produced 78cm folding machines suitable for the domestic printing and binding market. Afterwards, it will focus on the production of 66cm folding machines and Indiana PM520 multi-colored lithographic printing machines. At the same time, the opening ceremony was also held by the German company Bora, a wholly owned company in Shanghai. The company mainly produces 115cm paper cutters that meet the needs of the Chinese market. The company’s president proposed to occupy the domestic paper cutter by 2008. Planning for a 10% market share. In 2006, the German Mabegg Company also established a wholly-owned factory in Shanghai to produce their famous brand product, the paper feeder.
According to incomplete statistics, more than 10 foreign printing equipment manufacturers have established wholly-owned factories in China. Foreign capital has entered, will enter the printing equipment market into a new period of development. Taken together, the impact of foreign investment on China is mainly the following two points: On the one hand, their entry is conducive to China's printing companies to reduce capital investment in equipment upgrades, but also can promote the improvement of domestic printing equipment technology level; On the one hand, the entry of foreign capital will inevitably lead to the escalation of competition in the domestic printer industry. Therefore, it is suggested that the state should create an environment of equal competition as soon as possible so as to reduce the tax pressure of local companies.
Abandoning the development mode of blindly pursuing speed and seeking to upgrade the industrial structure and product quality is the biggest feature of the printing machinery and equipment industry in 2006.
