On November 12th, the 7th Guangdong Aluminum Processing Technology (International) Seminar (hereinafter referred to as the "Seminar") was grandly opened in Dali, Nanhai. Driven by the strong promotion of supply side reform, emphasis on environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction, and the urgent need for transformation and upgrading in industry development, production and processing enterprises are increasingly paying attention to new technologies, equipment, materials and media. The Aluminum Processing Seminar provides an open platform for people from various fields to exchange ideas, brainstorm, and generate new ideas. More than 600 manufacturers and suppliers from multiple fields of the aluminum processing industry chain, such as aluminum profiles, aluminum doors and windows, processing and testing equipment, chemical auxiliary materials, insulation rubber strips, and industrial felt, participated to jointly explore new trends and business opportunities in the aluminum processing industry. At the meeting, the reporter from Aluminum Doctor Network was honored to invite Chairman Zhang Qiufu of Guangdong Yuanchen Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. for an interview. Based on the development trend of the industry and the theme of the conference, "Innovation, Enhancement, and Transformation," we listened to how Chairman Zhang spoke out.
At the beginning of the interview, Director Zhang directly pointed out through the company's development history in recent years that product positioning and technological innovation are the key to maintaining the company's business growth year by year. Zhang Dong analyzed that as an equipment manufacturer, one must be at the forefront of the market, with forward-looking design thinking and products that meet changing customer needs and even exceed customer expectations. Especially in terms of advanced technology and equipment, anodizing, coloring, electrophoretic painting, surface treatment and other technologies, as well as high efficiency, high quality, and automation level of equipment, both are indispensable. To this end, Yuanchen Machinery has established a research and development innovation department, investing heavily in this area. Most of the mechanical production equipment developed and manufactured by the company can replace imported equipment, and its high cost-effectiveness has won the favor of people from all walks of life. When talking about the future development trend of aluminum profile processing equipment, Director Zhang stated that although China's aluminum profile processing equipment and process technology are developing rapidly, and on the basis of continuous introduction, digestion, absorption, and innovation, the level of Chinese made aluminum profile processing equipment is also increasing. However, some high-precision and cutting-edge equipment with special requirements still need to be imported from abroad, and this trend will continue for some time in the future development of the industry. However, Zhang Dong said that he was full of confidence in the future development trend of aluminum profile processing equipment, because aluminum profiles are increasingly used in the market in transportation, home appliances, electronics and mechanical equipment, and under the guidance of the national strategy of the "the Belt and Road", the construction of rail lines, especially high-speed rail lines, has become a pioneer. There are also automobile vehicles, ships, aviation, and parts matching. According to relevant departments, the annual growth rate of aluminum demand for transportation will exceed 8%, and the compound annual growth rate of aluminum materials for equipment manufacturing will be over 22%. Industry leader Zhongwang Aluminum has successfully developed high-altitude high-speed railway carriages, new energy bus bodies, and passenger car height added products, which require high value-added processing equipment.
Subsequently, in the face of the tight demand for industrial aluminum profiles, Director Zhang believes that in the current fiercely competitive market, the level of technological expertise in equipment manufacturing determines the survival of products in the market. With the increasing proportion of industrial aluminum profiles in aluminum production, the surface treatment technology standards required for some industrial aluminum profiles have become higher. This requires us to research, develop, innovate, and expand the application areas of equipment to meet the needs of customers and the market. The tight supply of industrial aluminum profiles is a development trend in the industry, but for companies, this is a new opportunity and growth point.
Finally, Director Zhang also expressed his admiration for the Guangdong Aluminum Processing Technology (International) Seminar. He said that the prosperity of the seminar has been increasing year by year, with more companies participating, more well-known experts and scholars in the industry, and more domestic and foreign guests. It is a gathering for us to meet new friends and receive old friends; It is also a platform for cutting-edge technology discussions, promotion of new technologies and products, and mutual learning and exchange of experience and skills in the industry. Through interviews, we also learned about multiple aspects of Guangdong Yuanchen Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. We believe that with its professional level and strong research and development capabilities in the field of equipment automation, Yuanchen Machinery will quickly rise in the aluminum equipment industry and become a leader in the industry in the future.
