How can a small and medium-sized private enterprise achieve more than 90% of the national market share of a product? Why has a state-owned enterprise made profits for 36 consecutive years since its establishment?
The reporter recently visited Chongqing and found that at present, a number of innovative enterprises have won the recognition and “love” of the market and become a beautiful scenery for high-quality development by focusing on their main business, strengthening innovation, and constantly creating unique advantages in specialized fields with craftsmanship and professionalism.
At the end of the year, although it has entered the severe winter, in the intelligent manufacturing workshop of Chongqing Honggang CNC Machine Tool Co., Ltd., a national “specialized and new” enterprise, workers will not feel the cold in light and thin work clothes. “We have invested more than 200 million yuan to build an intelligent factory. The temperature of the whole processing workshop is automatically controlled at 22 degrees Celsius. One worker can control several machines at the same time.” Wang Chuanhong, chairman of the company, said.
“With the technical support of intelligent factory, Honggang CNC is transforming and upgrading to an intelligent manufacturing equipment service provider, so that more ‘Chongqing intelligent manufacturing’ CNC machine tools are rapidly moving to the market outside China.” Wang Chuanhong said that machine tools are “industrial machines”. For more than 20 years, the company has adhered to deep cultivation and meticulous work in the field of machine tools. At present, it is one of the largest manufacturers of valve, driving gear, output shaft and steering CNC machine tools in China’s automobile industry. Among them, valve special machines occupy more than 90% of the national market.
Statistics show that in recent years, the R & D investment of small and medium-sized enterprises in Chongqing has continued to grow by more than 15%, and shows a growing trend. Continuous R & D investment helps enterprises realize technological innovation iteration, and also makes a number of “specialized and special new” enterprises become “little giants” in professional segments.
Chongqing automobile muffler Co., Ltd., another “specialized and new” enterprise, has also tasted the “sweetness” of continuous innovation. Liu Gang, executive deputy general manager of the company, was deeply impressed: “the company spent more than 50 million yuan, successively introduced 15 production lines such as voneros and Yaskawa from 2017 to 2020, and invested more than 20 million yuan in R & D to improve the process and process. After continuous upgrading, the production capacity of the company’s automobile exhaust system workshop increased by about 150% year-on-year, and the economic benefit increased by about 30% year-on-year.”
High quality development is inseparable from the basic advantage, which comes from the craftsman spirit. Walking into the production plant of Qingling automobile (Group) Co., Ltd., a leading enterprise in the automobile industry in Chongqing, the reporter found that it is very different from the noisy traditional production workshop – the whole plant is in order, although there are few workers in the workshop, but the production efficiency is very high. The production line Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) operates automatically, with accurate and rapid action.
“Intelligent production and digital management make people think that the ‘old stupid black thick’ automobile manufacturing industry becomes lighter and more intelligent.” Xu Song, deputy general manager of Qingling Group, said, “some enterprises originally engaged in automobile production lost their goals in the complex market, invested in what they made money, ignored product R & D, and finally lost their industrial advantages.”
“It is precisely because of its dedicated and persistent craftsman spirit that Qingling automobile has been profitable for 36 consecutive years since its establishment.” Xu Song concluded that in recent years, while continuing high quality, the enterprise has continuously expanded its depth and width to create higher value with more reliable, environmental friendly and high-tech logistics equipment. At present, the application of hydrogen energy is in the ascendant and has broad prospects. Qingling Group is actively transforming to the field of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Enterprise innovation and transformation bring new opportunities for local economic development. The reporter interviewed Jiulongpo District, an important industrial town in Chongqing, and found that the local government is planning to invest 20 billion yuan around the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle industry with Qingling as the main body, gather upstream and downstream enterprises, form a “closed loop” of the whole industrial chain, and build a national demonstration area and R & D center of “Western hydrogen Valley”. “Taking Bosch Qingling hydrogen fuel cell engine project as an example, it is expected that 23000 hydrogen fuel cell engines will be produced here by 2025, with an output value of 20 billion yuan.” Ji Xiaoxia, deputy director of the economic and Information Technology Commission of Jiulongpo District, said.
At present, the complex external environment also brings pressure to the development of innovative enterprises. But in the face of pressure, Chongqing’s innovative enterprises are full of confidence. “The craftsman spirit of excellence, accumulated technical advantages and never-stop development and innovation make us confident to continue to run well on the new track!” Xu Song said.
