To further improve the service quality of the Coating Grinding Tools Branch, strengthen communication and connection between the Branch and enterprises, establish emotional connections, and seek common development. From July 19th to 23rd, a delegation led by Li Yonggang, Chairman of the Coating Grinding Tools Branch, Chairman and Party Secretary of Baige Grinding Tools Co., Ltd., Chen Yuandong, Secretary General, and Xiao Feng, Deputy General Manager of Baige Company, visited member enterprises in Tengzhou, Linyi, Rizhao, Qingdao, Zibo, Jinan and other places in Shandong Province.
In the afternoon, the chairman of the branch and his delegation arrived at Qingdao Shaohai Grinding Technology Co., Ltd. The company's general manager, Leng Yanbo, accompanied the branch chairman and his delegation to visit the newly completed factory and production line of the company last year. Both sides also had in-depth exchanges on the development trend of coated grinding tools and the next steps of enterprise planning.
Qingdao Shaohai Grinding Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2000. The company has "Shaohai" brand sanding belts, sanding cloth, sandpaper and other products, mainly serving walking enterprises. We are a high-tech enterprise engaged in the production, sales, and research and development of coated grinding tools.
Through visits to Shandong members and related enterprises, it can be seen that although facing various uncertainties in domestic and international markets, the production and operation situation of Shandong member enterprises has increased significantly in the first half of the year compared to the same period last year, with growth rates ranging from 25% to 50%; Many companies have adopted response strategies such as relocating, increasing investment in environmental protection, and adding environmental protection equipment, resulting in more standardized business operations; In terms of capacity expansion, some enterprises are targeting the market prospects of mid to high end abrasives and sandpaper, building new production lines, upgrading existing equipment, increasing production capacity, and replacing imports, making positive contributions to promoting high-quality development of the industry. To maintain a good growth momentum in the second half of the year, we face arduous tasks and enormous pressure. In terms of environmental protection, the gradual increase in environmental control measures in various regions is affecting the operation of enterprises. In terms of labor employment, due to high labor intensity and relatively poor working environment, employee shortage has become the norm; Some companies had a large number of orders in the first half of the year, but their production capacity was delayed and could not meet customer demand. Therefore, the intelligent transformation of enterprise equipment is the trend.
Through discussions and exchanges, everyone unanimously agreed that the market capacity of the coated grinding tool industry is close to saturation, and the demand for quantity has transitioned to the demand for quality. Upgrading the product structure is the most sustainable long-term solution for the industry. The global COVID-19, combined with the rising price of raw materials and environmental pressure this year, will accelerate the restructuring of the entire coating industry and even the industry reshuffle, forcing some enterprises to increase technology investment and unswervingly continue to innovate the road of development. Whoever takes the first step in technological innovation can seize the initiative and win the advantage.
