Zhou Bingqian, party secretary, chairman and general manager of Shanghai Electric Machinery Factory, the production workshop of coil branch, told reporters that the factory was fully started on the seventh day of the first month (February 7), and the on-the-job rate of employees on the 7th day had exceeded 80%. As of February 16, only 8 of the more than 2100 employees in the plant had failed to arrive due to the epidemic in Suzhou and other places. Combined with the production and marketing situation of the company in January and the production and operation situation since February, it has basically achieved the “good start” of the year of the tiger.
Zhou Bingqian also said that based on the revenue of more than 5 billion yuan in 2021, the revenue target of Shanghai electric machinery factory in 2022 is to increase by about 5% year-on-year. The focus of business development this year is to continuously improve the quality of development. Under the condition of seasonal off-season, the output value of Shanghai electric machinery factory in January this year increased by about 11% compared with the same period in 2021. At present, the new orders of the whole factory increased by nearly 10% compared with the same period last year. On the whole, the whole plant has strong confidence in the steady growth of business performance this year.
In addition, the reporter also conducted a field survey of Shanghai People’s Electric Appliance Factory of Shanghai Electric Group Company Limited(601727) group, which is located at the intersection of Gonghexin Road and Wenshui road in Jing’an District. Founded in 1914, the factory is fully known as the people’s Electrical Appliance Factory of Shanghai Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. It was once praised by its peers as “the cradle of China’s low-voltage electrical appliances”. With a century of professional manufacturing history, it is a well-known manufacturer of medium and low-voltage electrical appliances integrating R & D, production, sales and service in the industry.
Thanks to the careful arrangement and deployment of epidemic prevention and control before the Spring Festival, as of February 10, the actual on-the-job rate of more than 700 employees in the whole plant exceeded 95%. Xu Ruizhong, director of Shanghai People’s Electric Appliance Factory, said that from the production and operation since the beginning of the year, the overall supply of production factors such as coal, electricity, oil and gas transportation is sufficient, the supply chain is stable, and there are many market project reserves.
Since this year, the “Shanglian brand” medium and low voltage electrical products produced by the factory have shown relatively strong market demand, whether in the traditional power sector, or in hot markets such as new energy and the Internet of things. After the overall production and operation achieved a “good start” in January and the first half of February, the business target set by the plant for 2022 is a compound annual growth rate of 20%.
