In the long history of human evolution, the 2.5 million-year history of tool manufacturing has driven the progress of civilization step by step. Today, while machine manufacturing is creating comfort and convenience for humanity, it is also driving the competition between the economies of the world. The equipment manufacturing industry, known as the "machine manufacturing industry for manufacturing machines," is the core of competition in the manufacturing industry in various countries.

Su Bo, Vice Minister of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that the equipment manufacturing industry provides production technology and equipment for the simple reproduction of the national economy and the expansion of reproduction. It is a sign of industrial strength and economic strength: "Each economic power, we look at their history of development. , it has a strong equipment manufacturing industry, so the competition before the country and the country is worth mentioning, and the economic competition between countries is worth mentioning, which is essentially the competition between the equipment manufacturing industries between countries. At present, between high-end equipment manufacturing The competition is actually the core of the big country game."

Because equipment manufacturing industry involves a lot of sophisticated, sophisticated and sophisticated technology. For a long period of time, China's equipment manufacturing industry has been controlled by foreign brands in key components and core technologies.

In the 1980s, China's radial tire industry was completely subject to the monopoly and blockade imposed by Western developed countries. It spent billions of dollars of foreign exchange each year. It bought second-hand equipment that had been eliminated from abroad and used it to comply with harsh requirements. Restrictions. In order to overcome this bottleneck, in 1989, Tianjin Saixiang Technology Co., Ltd. embarked on the pioneering road of China's radial tire equipment. Shi Hang, general manager, said: “We have always focused on technological innovation since the establishment of the company, followed the pulse of technology advancement, and always stepped on the forefront of technology, filling the country’s many gaps in tire equipment manufacturing. The world's development trend."

Twenty years later, Saixiang Technology has not only grown into a “leader” in the Chinese rubber machinery industry, but also opened the door to the international market. In 2001, the president of the UK-registered General Tire Company was amazed after visiting Saixiang's tire production equipment and signed a purchase contract on the spot. However, just over a decade ago, China's first radial tire production line came from them.

In 2008, Saixiang Technology successfully developed the European and Indian markets. Its export revenue exceeded RMB 250 million. European tire company, India BKT, Tyre Co., Ltd. and European Airbus have become stable customers of Saixiang Technology. The head of the company, Liu Wenan, said that through tireless efforts, China's tire manufacturing equipment has been recognized by the world's manufacturing powerhouses.

“The equipment manufacturing industry has won a place in the international market. It is very rare. After we worked hard, we spent foreign exchange buying old equipment from abroad. We can now resell new equipment to them and explain the overall improvement of China’s equipment manufacturing industry. We are one of them."

Since the reform and opening up, along with the completion of the industrial system and related industrial chains, China is extending from the low end of the manufacturing industry to the high end. The equipment manufacturing industry, which is a core component of the manufacturing industry, has formed an industrial system with complete categories, large scale, and a certain level of technology in China, and has become an important pillar industry of the national economy.

According to statistics, in 2013, the scale of output value of China's equipment manufacturing industry exceeded 20 trillion yuan, accounting for more than one-third of the global equipment manufacturing industry, and the majority of product output ranked first in the world; 13 Chinese mainland equipment manufacturers entered the world's top 500 rankings. The international competitiveness has obviously increased. In November 2013, Premier Li Keqiang of the Chinese State Council stated in his speech in Romania: “Made in China can be said to have swept the world. In the development of the Chinese economy in recent years, Chinese equipment has made new achievements in certain fields. China has already begun to have The relatively mature and complete equipment manufacturing industry is relatively advanced, especially in the fields of railways, nuclear power and other power, roads, ports, telecommunications and other fields, with rich experience in construction and operation, and Chinese equipment is competitive. It is trustworthy."

To open a cave, build a tunnel, repair a railway, or dig a subway requires a special kind of equipment, a boring machine. It is widely used, but its technology is complex and its cost is high. For a long time, the heading machine equipment manufacturing technology was completely monopolized by a few countries such as Europe, America, Japan and so on. Today, after more than a decade of efforts, China is becoming a world giant in this field.
