Japan's industrial transfer after the earthquake

Leading Word: Japan's domestic automakers have significantly reduced production due to major earthquakes, and medium-sized auto parts companies have also been affected by operations. They have been forced to adjust their production. Some companies have begun to switch production overseas and seek out outlets in emerging countries such as China and Mexico.

Japan's Industrial Transfer to Japan's Electromechanical Circle Welcomes Opportunities Japan's Electromechanical Industry Gradually Moves Overseas KanamITU Co., Ltd., a leading automotive parts and machinery company in the Kansai region, has decided to increase the production capacity of Chinese factory automotive pulleys to 1.5 times. The next step is to consider India set up a factory; EXEDY, a well-known automotive clutch manufacturer, decided to invest 1 billion yen in the Chinese market in February and double the existing torque converter capacity. It also plans to spend 1.5 billion yen. The new hydraulic torque converter electromechanical plant in Mexico will be mass-produced in January next year. The Sekisui Kogyo Co., Ltd., which manufactures automotive plastic molding molds, will also increase its overseas business. It plans to establish additional outlets in Mexico, Indonesia and Taiwan during the year. Develop mold manufacturing and maintenance operations.

The 3.11 earthquake in Japan greatly affected the normal production of hardware and electrical machinery. For example, Japan’s Ministry of Finance announced on May 25 that the initial value of trade statistics showed that the export volume of automobiles dropped by 67% year-on-year to 255.3 billion yen. , record at least since January 1979.

Japanese electromechanical companies have landed in China's Jiangsu Province, Danyang Municipal Government and the Japan Trade Promotion Agency (JETRO) jointly launched the Danyang Japan Auto Parts Electromechanical Industrial Park, which is mainly composed of Japanese SME auto parts clusters. The industrial park will be held in November this year. Put into production. Mainly divided into four functional areas: metal processing, electrical and electronic, resin and rubber, fiber and other. "It is expected that by the end of this year, Japan Automobile Parts Industrial Park (JAPIC) will be stationed in 30 to 50 companies, and in the next three years it will enter 300 Japanese parts and electromechanical companies.

During the fourteenth session of the Fair, Japanese merchants teamed up to conduct a project inspection. They showed keen interest in Hechuan's electromechanical location advantage and investment environment. Hechuan has planned to create a scale of two in the electromechanical zone of the industrial park. Square kilometers of Japan's Electrical and Mechanical Technology Industry Park.

Chinese electromechanical companies welcome development opportunities Japanese-funded electromechanical companies accelerate the transfer of industrial chains overseas, and Japanese small and medium auto parts manufacturers will establish clusters of production sites in China in a conglomerated form. This has won the Japan Trade Promotion Agency and China’s auto industry. Association support.

This may be the reason why the disadvantages of the centralized production model in Japan have been exposed. This time, Japan’s electromechanical companies have shifted their industries to overseas, and taking China as a hot area has provided opportunities for the development of China’s machinery and electronics industry as well as a challenge.

Insiders pointed out that the Japanese electromechanical companies have entered the Chinese market so that Chinese domestic electromechanical brands may welcome a major reshuffle. It is understood that Japanese companies and organizations joining the Japanese auto parts industrial park will be affected. Support from local governments and JAPIC related organizations; implementation of systems for collective procurement of raw materials for production, sharing of logistics channels, and joint management of employees to reduce production costs; while JAPIC's members need not spend too much on relevant regulations, customs clearance, and labor management, etc. Efforts will focus on production and R&D.

It is hoped that the new mode of operation will open a new page for the reform of China's domestic electromechanical market.
