Fasteners must be the first to go international industry standards

As the first manufacturing country of fasteners, our production enterprises have been in the battlefield for a long time. It has been hardship since the accession to the WTO in 2008. It has suffered many setbacks overseas and suffered a lot. Although it has little achievements, it still cannot get rid of "indigestion". The key issue in the embarrassing situation of “outside the enemy” is the international standardization strategy.

Specifically, the first is the lack of perfect industry standards, and the second is that the fastener industry, which is an important part of the supporting parts industry, and the enterprise itself are not positioned accurately. In other words, there is a long-term existence between the host companies and the independent enterprises. The state of the pattern. This is the crux of our fastener industry that has never been able to break through international barriers and rush out of the world. It is also the biggest obstacle for us to lose to foreign brands.

There is a gap in the standards of industry products

Comparing domestic industry standards with foreign countries, it is not difficult to find a big gap between the two. As far as the material standards for hardware fasteners are concerned, domestic product standards generally do not specify specific material steel grades, but only the chemical composition requirements required for mechanical performance grades. In contrast, individual US standards such as ASTM standards will Specific material steel grades are specified. Since there is no corresponding grade of steel in China, it cannot be accurately docked with international standards, which will naturally bring certain difficulties to the export. Although some domestic enterprises have begun to realize this, they have developed new steel grades stipulated by foreign fastener standards, but this is only a small step in the process of advancement. International standards need to be promoted and improved throughout the industry.

Domestic fasteners have their own role positioning

The domestic fastener companies have not been very clear about their own positioning, blind production, lack of matching and cooperation with the host enterprises. It can be said that the products of most fastener enterprises in China are only mass-produced according to the unified standard. They do not care whether their products can meet the matching of host products on the market, and they are pursuing their own factory quantities, so they are fastened. The pieces become "universal" fasteners, but the mechanical stability of the host application is difficult to guarantee.

Compared with foreign brand products, what we lack is “specialism” and “dedication”. When it comes to this issue, I very much agree with the OEM development model mentioned by Mr. Wang Changjiang, an expert in the construction machinery industry. This concept is developed in the fastener industry. The same applies, that is, the hardware fastener manufacturers mentioned above need to be connected to the host enterprise, which can be one-to-one or even one-to-many.

I think that if we want our fastener industry to compete in the international battlefield, the battle will be the first, "grain and grass" first, that is, the improvement of industry standards, and the alliance with the host enterprises, combined with their own technical quality to win their own piece. country.
