Yongnian fasteners are well-known throughout the country. At present, there are more than 3,800 fastener production and processing companies in the county. There are more than 100 categories and more than 10,000 specifications and models, and more than 300,000 employees are employed. The formation of the Hebei Province, Zhuzhuang to Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway Relying on the Shili Gallery, it has been centered on the Hebei Pudong Fasteners Mall and the China Yongnian Fasteners City, and has more than 2.8 million tons of annual output, with more than 10,000 domestic sales stores as the network's fastener industry system. As the first batch of small and medium-sized enterprise demonstration clusters in Hebei Province, it is known as "the fastener capital of China".

Driving through the surrounding area of ​​Hebei shop in Yongnian County, dense fastener advertisements can be seen everywhere. The vehicles carrying all kinds of fastener products are busy and the economic characteristics of their developed characteristic industries are unobstructed.

- The fastener industry has encountered cold in recent years. The reporter has participated in many fastener exhibitions for Yongnian. In recent years, when talking about this market situation, many business owners shook their heads and sighed that business was not good. It is understood that in 2008, the global economic storm triggered by the financial crisis caused the entire fastener industry's production and operation status to be affected. For those export-oriented export-oriented production enterprises, the impact is particularly severe, and the business volume is rapidly declining. Some manufacturers' daily production is only 30-40% of the weekdays. Some manufacturers with insufficient ability to resist risks can even close their doors to avoid danger.

However, in Yongnian County, it is not obvious that there is no danger of closing the door. According to local responsible officials, when the market conditions are not good, companies will not lay off or stop production because the scale of production is relatively small, and adjustments are relatively flexible. As long as they can move forward even if they can move forward, they will not let workers go home and retain people. Also retained the living space.

With the impact of the financial turmoil, the production strength of the national fastener industry has generally recovered since the end of 2009. However, according to related statistics, in 2012, the fastener industry experienced a negative growth, which was a year-on-year decrease of about 1.5%. The main reason was the lack of market demand, especially after the fasteners suffered international anti-dumping, export sales were presented. Falling trend.

- It is not necessary to tear off the low-end label. As far as the current fastener market is concerned, “low-end and low-end” is a label that needs to be torn off in the Chinese fastener market. In view of this situation, experts believe that it is more urgent to promote the development of the enterprise through standardization and to use the standard to measure its own development. With the rapid changes in the economic development mode of the fastener industry, companies have to consider making products Doing fine, improving technology content, and transforming the previously extensive production model.

It can be seen that domestic fastener manufacturers must accelerate the pace of technological upgrading, and at the same time enhance the strength of fasteners in special industries in order to open up market areas and enhance their ability to respond to market risks.

Yongnian standard parts production enterprises are mostly small and medium-sized micro enterprises, which have low profit margins and are very sensitive to costs. On August 1st this year, the listing ceremony for the wire (Dingzhong) variety of the Bohai Commodity Exchange was held in Handan, and the country’s first standard wire stock was officially listed and sold. In this way, the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce has provided new ways for saving money and financing for small and medium micro-standard parts manufacturing companies, helping them to increase revenues and reduce expenditures, stabilizing their profits, and enabling them to invest more funds and energy in product research and development, technological upgrading and equipment. Update.

In addition, the Fujian Merchants Bank also cooperates with cooperative banks. The bank provides "small and micro enterprise mutual funds" to the customers of the Ningbo Commercial Bank to optimize the financing environment of the small, medium and micro enterprises and provide financial support for the technological upgrading, equipment upgrade and scale upgrade of small and medium-sized enterprises. The practical significance lies in "boosting Yongyin's standard parts industry to increase brand value, grasp the right to speak in the industry, and become China's standard parts pricing center."

- Signs of market warming gradually appear. The reporter visited the show and noticed that many companies are selling high-end cards in order to sell equipment, and the prices are also favorable. And the buyers and business owners have three or five groups of people, and they are constantly interested in new equipment.

It is understood that the fastener industry is an industry that relies on raw materials, and rising raw materials will naturally increase the production cost of fasteners. Under the current situation, fastener companies should adjust their product structure in a timely manner, control investment scale, reduce costs, and maximize productivity. This will undoubtedly have positive significance.

As a processing industry, the equipment process in production is life, which determines the quality and grade of the product. “The survival of the fittest and the innovation of the new product symbolize the healthy development of the industry”. This is the consensus among many business owners that if the fastener industry wants to save on material expenses, it must invest in technology. With good technology, it can also open up more market resources for itself.

According to industry analysts, the country has recently strengthened the macro-control of the iron and steel industry so that the relationship between supply and demand has eased, the steel market has developed in an orderly manner, prices are stabilizing, and the market has been stimulated to restore confidence, coupled with industrial machinery, motor vehicles, electrical and electronic products, etc. With the stimulation of market demand, there will be new growth in sales of fasteners, which is good for the fastener industry.

At the same time, the government's demand for high-quality fasteners in the construction of large-scale infrastructure and the construction of non-residential buildings in the construction industry will also boost the demand for fasteners in the construction industry.
