Superior cutting tools purchase advanced equipment and beat foreign products with quality.

On the excellent tool is China's machine tool business network allies, have a good partner. zui near zhejiang shangyou cutting tool co., ltd. chairman ye zhijun spent 3.8 million yuan to order a numerical control cutting edge machine from taiwan. This is not the second time that Ye Zhijun has spent a high price to purchase advanced equipment.
　　
This well-known "equipment control" in the industrial cutting tools industry has invested more than 3000 million yuan in the introduction of advanced machines to improve product production efficiency when Shangyou tools first started. At that time, the output value of Shangyou knives was less than 7 million yuan. A few years later, Ye Zhijun invested nearly 20 million yuan to improve product quality with automation equipment, giving superior cutting tools the strength to compete with foreign products.
　　
"Nowadays, many enterprises in Taizhou have bought their tool products from our enterprises, and there is no market for foreign products here." Ye Zhijun is very proud of this.
　　
Most of the machine tools in Shangyou's workshop are imported from Germany.
　　
More than 5000 million yuan has been invested in the introduction of equipment. Foreign products have lost their market. In fact, there are not many workers, especially in the workshops where all kinds of machine tools are placed. There are only 3 to 4 people.
　　
"This is a p26c detector imported from Germany, with a value of nearly 3 million yuan. The test report issued by this measuring instrument is recognized by the international market. This sms CNC shovel mill is worth more than 700 million yuan and is zui expensive equipment in our factory. These machine tools are also imported from Germany. With these equipment, the products we produce have higher precision and higher added value." While taking the reporter to visit the production workshop of Shangyou knives, the staff introduced in detail the equipment purchased in recent years. "Now the precision of the products we produce is higher than that of most enterprises, and the expensive knives can even sell for hundreds of thousands of yuan."
　　
"Our equipment can almost be said to be advanced by zui in the world, and the prices of the products produced are 30% ~ 50% higher than those produced by traditional equipment before." Ye Zhijun said.
　　
High input brings high output. From the annual output value of less than 7 million yuan in 2008 to more than 1700 million yuan in 2009, more than 4000 million yuan in 2011, and now the annual output value has reached 50 millions or 60 millions yuan, Qianjiang Motor, Minghua Gear, Zhongma Group... All have become customers of Shangyou Cutters. "In the past, the knives of these big customers were basically imported from abroad, but now, we have become their suppliers. In fact, many enterprises in Taizhou now have cooperative relations with us, and there is no market for foreign imported products in Taizhou." Ye Zhijun said.
　　
Equipment, talent, technology, to build the market "iron triangle"
　　
In Ye Zhijun's view, the main reason why superior cutting tools have occupied the market so fast in recent years is that zui is willing to spend money on equipment introduction and technology research and development. "Only when there is technology, equipment and talents can there be a market." Ye Zhijun said.
　　
He believes that only good equipment can ensure the quality and stability of products. It can be said that Ye Zhijun is one of the entrepreneurs who introduced automatic production equipment in Wen Qiao zui early, which has also led other enterprises in Wen Qiao to put equipment upgrading on the agenda in recent years.
　　
Not only that, Ye Zhijun also used product research and development as a stepping stone to open the market. "I invest a lot of money every year to develop new products." Ye Zhijun said that he also spent a high salary to "dig" a group of experts from state-owned enterprises to "match" equipment and talents ". If it is fast, it only takes 20 to 30 days for Shangyou to develop a new product (it takes 2 to 4 months for foreign companies to develop new products). Such a high speed cannot be separated from the support of talents.
　　
"We no longer put the main production force on standard tools. We usually take orders first, then set the product technical plan according to the actual needs of customers, and then put them into production." Ye Zhijun told reporters that Shangyou also attaches great importance to brand building, "This year we are applying for a trademark in Zhejiang Province." In addition, a project with an investment of 40 millions or 50 millions yuan in cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences is also planned to start in the second half of this year.
　　
The brand does not sound, and the work volume cutting tools need to be gathered in the park. However, although the market forced enterprises to replace machines and transform and upgrade in the past few years, there has been a lot of silence in the past two years. "After the purchase restrictions on real estate in various places, the cement and steel markets have fallen into a trough. This has also led to the cold sales of large-scale machinery and equipment that produce these materials. The industry has also suffered. Venture too much." Ye Zhijun said.
　　
Although Wen Qiao Town is the largest production base of cutting tools in the country, it is also the largest cutting tool market in the world. However, like most industries in Wenling, although there is a market in the industry, the grade is not high. Although it is famous, there is no big brand.
　　
"All of these are hindering the development of Wengong Jiao's volume cutting tools enterprises. Especially in recent years, the volume cutting tools industry is even more stagnant." Ye Zhijun believes that in order to make a breakthrough in this industry, on the one hand, enterprises need to continue to invest, continue technological transformation, and continue research and development; on the other hand, the government is also an important part of the development of the industry. Although the Wenling industrial and cutting tools industry has formed a large market, in fact, many enterprises are still working in their own way and have not been able to give full play to the effect of this market. The important thing for zui is that so far, most of the enterprises in Wenling do not have their own factories, and land restrictions have trapped many potential enterprises in place. "In my opinion, the industry of industrial and cutting tools urgently needs to establish a gathering park, set up a threshold, and introduce potential industrial and cutting tools enterprises to make a group and become famous, and enterprises will go to the market." Ye Zhijun said that in this way, while integrating resources, it can also attract foreign companies to join.
