China's hardware products have a wide variety of high quality and reasonable prices. With the good reputation of dealers, enthusiastic service and a huge sales network group accumulated over the years, it has gradually opened up domestic provinces and cities and the Middle East, Africa, Kazakhstan, South Asia, Uruguay and other emerging markets.

Since 2010, with the gradual weakening of the impact of the financial crisis, the foreign trade of many hardware companies has shown a recovery trend, which is mainly due to the favorable policies of the state to promote the rise of the central region, and the continuous promotion of the development of the western region and the re-construction of the eastern region. All of them have driven the sales of hardware tools ; the rapid recovery of the international economy has further driven the overall improvement of the export situation of hardware products, and has also brought greater development space to the hardware industry. The strong domestic market demand and the vigorous expansion of foreign markets, the organic combination of the two has created a good golden development period for the hardware industry.

After the international economic recovery, hardware tools ushered in the golden period of development of the export market, especially the developing country market. Due to the relative lag and overall aging of the machining industry in developing countries , there is generally a strong demand for imported tools and hardware products. Hardware product merchants quickly seized this great opportunity and gradually developed through trade agreements and exchanges. It has developed a huge export market and trade business.

At present, the export of my country's hardware tool products is picking up, and the development of the hardware industry has ushered in a new foreign trade pattern.

1. The structure of export commodities was further optimized, and the export of high-tech products increased significantly

Clamping and cutting tools such as wire rope shears, bolt cutters, saw frames, machine repair tools, telecommunication tools, household combination tools and other set series, steel tape measure , spirit level and other measuring tools series and socket wrenches , impact batches and other fastening products A batch of high-tech and high-value-added export commodities will gradually replace the original low-value-added hardware tools and other commodities, among which clamping, cutting and assembly products account for the largest proportion.

2. Progress in export diversification strategy

While consolidating the original traditional markets such as Southeast Asia and the Americas, the dealers actively adjust the product management structure, change the purchase and sales mode between the main and the customer, and strive to develop new markets such as Africa and Europe.

3. The strength of exporters of hardware tool products continues to increase

The export of products from large business operators and honest business operators goes hand in hand, and the export growth rate of hardware tool products of the two is much higher than that of ordinary operators.

4. The processing and creation of self-produced, self-sold and self-created brands has grown rapidly

Such as Zhuo's Polishing Abrasives Center , Union Industrial Hardware Collection, Zongheng Hardware Tool Center and other major operators have launched their own advantageous brands, and the proportion of export products has continued to increase.

Luo Baihui, secretary general of the association, pointed out that hardware foreign trade enterprises should assess the situation and take timely measures to actively participate in international exhibitions, improve product quality, increase product innovation, vigorously create low-carbon products according to the international economic situation, and understand the EU directive standards for the export of hardware products. , thereby opening the banner of expanding foreign markets and increasing the international market share of my country's hardware products.

Domestic hardware measuring tools are brilliant

Relevant statistics show that after decades of construction and development, my country's measuring tool industry has initially formed an industrial system with relatively complete product categories, a certain production scale and development capacity, and has become the second largest producer of tools in the world after Japan. However, as the basis of CNC cutting technology, there is still a big gap between China's tool manufacturing industry and foreign advanced levels in terms of technical level and performance quality of measuring instruments.

From visual inspection to simple measurement to precise measurement, the progress of measurement technology guarantees the progress of manufacturing technology to a certain extent.

The famous scientist Mr. Qian Xuesen also pointed out that information technology includes measurement technology, computer technology and communication technology. Measurement technology is the key and foundation.

The person in charge of the China Machine Tool Industry Association said that precision machining not only requires the accuracy and stability of machine tools, as well as the accuracy of tools and fixtures, but also requires precision measuring instruments to calibrate and measure. Some are in the processing process; some are post-testing (such as gear measuring instruments).

Industry experts revealed that, taking the wind power industry as an example, the processing and testing of some typical key components in power generation equipment, such as turbine blades, rotor wheel slots, and steam turbine generator rotor insert grooves, represent and reflect to a certain extent. The latest achievements and level of a country's advanced cutting technology and numerical control tools, digital measurement technology and measuring instruments, so it has attracted the attention of the tool manufacturing industry.

Luo Baihui, secretary general of the International Mould, Hardware and Plastic Industry Suppliers Association, said that domestic measuring tool and measuring instrument manufacturers have increased investment in the independent development of digital display technology and digital display measuring tool products in recent years, and have achieved great results. The domestic digital display measuring tools have developed from the simple strip liquid crystal digital display in the past few years to the more complex surface liquid crystal dynamic simulation image display. The resolution of the digital caliper capacitance grid has developed from 0.01 mm to 0.001 mm. have been significantly improved. The continuous improvement of waterproof and dustproof performance has also enhanced the market competitiveness of domestic digital measuring tools. Among them, Harbin Measuring and Cutting Tool Group Co., Ltd. has continuously strengthened its advantages in the development and manufacture of precision instruments such as gear measuring instruments, surface roughness measuring instruments and contour measuring instruments in the past 10 years, and successfully developed the largest domestic 2-meter CNC gear measuring instrument. , to become the most competitive precision measuring instrument manufacturer in China.

Rodford, director of the National Precision Tool Engineering Research Center and director of the Chengdu Tool Research Institute, said that so far, the center's achievements in new tool materials, tool material surface modification processes, and gear gauges have reached the highest level in China. After unremitting efforts, it now has the most advanced precision tool production equipment with independent intellectual property rights in China, and has established an industrialization base, enabling China's precision tools to achieve leapfrog development in terms of research and development, process equipment and industrialization capabilities. The results have approached or reached the world advanced level. The dual-frequency laser interferometer is the core product independently developed by the center. Now only the center has this technology and can produce this equipment. Its successful development has changed China's long-term dependence on imports in this field. The multiple functions of the instrument break the technical blockade of foreign countries, the detection resolution reaches 0.02 microns, and the detection length can reach 20 meters. The price is much lower than similar foreign products. Internationally, this instrument can compete with similar products in Britain and the United States!
