Bowang Town, Dangtu County, Anhui Province, is known as “the hometown of Chinese machine tool knives”. This town covers an area of ​​133 square kilometers, administers 28 villages (residential) and has a population of nearly 100,000 (the population of the township is 30,000). A number of more than 200 tool companies. In 2007, the industrial output value reached more than 4 billion yuan, and profits and taxes were more than 800 million yuan. The export of products earned more than 50 million US dollars. The machine tool industry is so developed here, not only is Anhui unique, but also rare in the country.
Starting from the manufacture of simple machine tools for self-use Bowang Town is located in the easternmost part of Dangtu County, Maanshan City. It has a long history and culture in the one-hour metropolitan area of ​​Nanjing. It is known as the “China's famous knife town”.
The machine tool industry in Bowang Town has been developing for a long time. As early as the 1970s, some simple mechanical parts factories began to manufacture simple machine tools to solve the problems of production equipment, and gradually developed into shearing machines and bending machines, which became very popular after being put on the market. In order to open the market and expand sales, the company hired local flexible and hands-on personnel to help sales. These people went to all parts of the country with product brochures and even samples to promote products and bridge the gap between enterprises and users. In order to achieve faster development, the enterprises in Bowang Town put the sales in the first place in the order of “sales for production”. The company hired a large number of sales personnel, often 100 people produced and 1000 people sold outside.
The company implements a flexible sales policy for sales personnel, and the sales staff does not take a fixed salary and only takes the sales commission. This approach has greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of sales staff. Some people describe them as "running thousands of miles, entering thousands of households, saying a thousand words, eating thousands of hardships", but not too much. The flexible sales policy has made some sales people rich. With the capital, they also set up factories to produce machine tools and knives, which made the machine tool and tool industry prosper.
The hometown of machine tool knives has begun to take shape. Into Bowang Town, the first impression is that there are enterprises everywhere. In addition to the blade production factory, there are machine tool and road construction machinery parts industry. It is understood that in recent years, the town has made great achievements in building the goal of building the first town of private economy in Anhui Province, the national economy and the small cities in the regional center, and seized opportunities. At present, Bowang Town has formed three pillar industries of blade mould, machine tool and road construction machinery parts production, and there are more than 470 industrial enterprises, including 60 with annual sales income exceeding 5 million yuan, and enterprises with self-operated export rights. At home, nearly 20 foreign exchange earning enterprises have been directly exported, and the comprehensive strength of the town has been significantly enhanced.
In the “10th Five-Year Plan” and “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the machine tool enterprises in Bowang Town implemented the scientific development concept and attached importance to the new industrialization road. Some companies have invested heavily in new plants, upgrading equipment and adopting advanced technologies. For example, Central Asia and China and Germany have built thousands to 10,000 square meters of factory buildings, purchased advanced production equipment, and developed CNC machine tools. The cutting machines produced by the alliance company and the blades produced by Jinhai Company have reached the domestic leading level. A total of 8 products in the town were rated as exemption products, 3 products were rated as provincial famous brand products, more than 40 enterprises passed the ISO9000 quality system certification, and more than 20 enterprises obtained self-operated export management rights.
The government creates a development environment based on the situation. While the machine tools and tool companies are generally developing, the county and town governments have made great efforts to support and create a good environment for enterprise development. Invest a large amount of funds to build roads, water supply and drainage, greening, and build public facilities such as communication and ventilation; formulate and implement preferential policies such as investment promotion, value-added tax return, and landless farmers' protection to encourage enterprise development; to help enterprises solve the problem of insufficient funds, the town The government also took the lead in setting up the Bowang Town Economic Development Credit Financing Joint Insurance Center to secure hundreds of millions of funds for enterprises; to support the technological advancement of enterprises and better serve enterprises, and also supported the establishment of the Machinery Research Institute and wear-resistant alloy research. Institute, heat-resistant tool steel research institute, heat treatment center; in order to standardize business operations and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, the town government also led the establishment of the Federation of Industry and Commerce.
Industrial clusters drive the economic development of Bowang Town The internal factors and external factors have prompted Bowang Town's machine tool industry to maintain a good momentum of development in recent years. A large number of enterprises such as Central Asia, China-German, Gimhae, and Weston are forming economies of scale; many companies are in short supply of products, and users often urge them to wait for the goods, sometimes even waiting for the paint to be taken away. The formation of machine tools and tool industry clusters has driven the development of the town's economy and has become the pillar of the town's fiscal revenue; it has led to labor employment, and currently employs 15,000 people in this industry.
Nowadays, this ancient town has already ignited the vitality of the times, highlighting the new look in the ancient rhyme, from the hometown of cutting tools to the province's machinery manufacturing industry cluster, from the national and rural enterprises in the east-west cooperation demonstration zone to the national Xinghuo technology-intensive area, from the construction of small towns across the country. Demonstration towns to the national civilized villages and towns, when Tubowang Town has embarked on a new road of urban-rural linkage and win-win development.
Reporter's Comments: Give Full Play to the Advantages of Industrial Clusters Industrial clusters are a sign of the rapid development of China's industrial economy. Anhui Bowang's machine tool cutting industry clusters have a good foundation. How to seize the opportunity and take advantage of the momentum to realize the healthy development of the machine tool industry cluster in Bowang Town? Officials from the Maanshan Municipal Government told the reporter that the following points need to be done:
The first is to further strengthen the core enterprise. Through its own efforts, it will increase support, further expand and strengthen several large-scale enterprises, and concentrate technology research and product innovation on core enterprises to play the role of radiation of core enterprises.
The second is to further coordinate planning and do a good job in division of labor. At present, the enterprises in the cluster are basically fighting each other, and the products are repeated more and there are few interconnections. To further help planning, the products of each enterprise are focused on, expanding varieties and series, and targeting a wider range of users; it is also necessary to do a good job in process collaboration and develop specialized production. For example, machine tool enterprises consume a large amount of steel every year. At present, all enterprises purchase their own products. If they can purchase in a unified manner and concentrate on cutting materials, they can greatly reduce consumption.
The third is to actively help solve the talent problem. Due to the gap between townships and urban life, it is difficult for companies here to attract talents, especially college graduates, to come here for employment and entrepreneurship.
