Hengshui: Strive To Create Works Rubber Industry Clusters

In a joint, merger, leasing, trusteeship and other forms, Hengshui rubber industry group works to form a group of leading enterprises in the industrial chain link pattern of small and medium enterprises, thus pulling the whole file to upgrade the industrial structure.

Recently, an investment 3.52 billion yuan industrial manufacturing projects of engineering rubber settled in Hebei Hengshui. After the completion of the project, will become the industry’s largest engineering rubber production, technical research, development and distribution centers.

Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the Three Gorges power station, the Olympic Games Bird’s Nest project, the National Grand Theater … … of these state-level key projects are using the Hengshui engineering rubber products. As a regional characteristic economy, after years of development, Hengshui has formed the largest concentration of engineering rubber industry cluster.

Scientific and technological innovation to promote the rapid development of industry

Hengshui engineering rubber industry began in the last century, fifties or sixties, the great development in the 70′s, 80′s reference to the country first “engineering rubber,” this term. 90 years of the last century to the present, is the patent Hengshui rubber industry hit a major period of development have emerged in a number of backbone enterprises.

In 1994, Hengshui Rubber Co., Ltd. Shantou Bay Bridge in the international competitive bidding, beating many international competitors, the first domestic enterprise to achieve the first successful, not only the end of our dependence on imported large-scale bridge the history of telescopic devices, but also enable enterprises to benefit by leaps and bounds growth. Up to now, Hengshui rubber industry cluster projects have been 86 national patents in the national patents in the field of engineering rubber accounted for 67.7%.

Innovation in a competitive atmosphere, Hengshui grasp this opportunity to encourage enterprises to the development, production, reserves combined, take the road of integration, production and research. Helped the 24 key enterprises with more than 60 universities, research institutes to establish a solid technical cooperation between the enterprise selects and sends more than 200 professional personnel for the enterprises by the high-tech, high value-added technological transformation project coordination of funds several hundred million dollars, cultivate leading enterprises in 10 major science and technology to promote 69 key enterprises to establish a perfect first-class product development system and inspection system.

At present, Hengshui rubber industry groups to work as the leading rubber products, including the formation of rubber water-stop, bridge bearings, expansion joints, building isolation, transmission transmission, mechanical seal, rubber hose rubber tire rubber roller and so on seven big series more than 100 varieties, 80% of new products from Hengshui Rubber Works.

Industry self-regulation to promote industry to thrive

In the last century, the late 90s, Hengshui rubber products manufacturing enterprises have grown to thousands, but its production scale, technology level, product grade uneven, and because many enterprises are belong to different departments, disorderly competition between enterprises, Some marketers conduct highly irregular, individual production and sale of counterfeit products, etc., has seriously affected the image and reputation of the industry cluster.

For the development of these problems occur, Hengshui City, formulated the “protection of rubber industries, and strengthen professional management,” development ideas, set up the “Hebei Hengshui Engineering Rubber Industry Association,” an industry standard model of the management of rubber industry management to a market economy means to strengthen the industry standards and coordination.

Enterprise unified standards, unified inspection and, uniform quality and price (market guide price), unified brand monitoring mode; strictly implement industry-access system, there is no access card companies who fail are not allowed to engage in production and management. Association has also set up a market audit department, collaborative business, technical supervision, public security departments to increase efforts to crackdown.

At the same time strengthen the management of marketing staff, issued by the Association of Unity “marketing qualification certificate”, the implementation of certificates, holders of marketing.

Cultivate rubber industry group leading the push new heights

Experts predict that by 2010, annual demand for the country’s engineering rubber products will be more than 6 billion yuan. In order to further enlarge and strengthen the project rubber industry, Hengshui City, proposed “to support the strong leader, with a live global” work ideas, published for three consecutive years to develop, “to speed up the development of rubber industry view”, the implementation of the technological transformation of key enterprises, equipment upgrade and product structure adjustment in order to optimize and upgrade industrial structure, promote industrial upgrading.

At the same time filtering out the five key enterprises as key targets for assistance, implementing a policy-training, going out to visit the trade exchange as the core of the “brain works” in order to integrate production, learning as the core of the “Quality Project”, to coordinate funding, land, focus on electricity, “predicament project” to transform government functions and strengthen services for the enterprises to optimize the environment for the focus of the “green light engineering.”

According to statistics, over the years a total of five leading companies for this coordination of funds reached 1.5 billion and in the settlement of land for the project, training, business management personnel, transportation specialists and other support was effectively promoted the rapid development of leading enterprises.

After that, they give full play to leading enterprises in a large scale, high level of equipment, strong technical strength and market reputation and good advantages, in a joint, merger, leasing, trusteeship and other means to form a group of leading enterprises in the industrial chain connecting small and medium enterprises, thereby stimulating the whole file to upgrade the industrial structure.

Just a few years time, the city’s annual sales income over 5 million yuan business from 8 to 69. Of which exceeds ten million yuan of 19, super-billion three, there are six among the domestic industry, “the top ten.”
