The stamping industry is an important sub-industry of the metal forming and processing industry and the basic industry of the machinery manufacturing industry. Its development level reflects the competitiveness of a country’s manufacturing process technology. Its products involve automobiles, machinery, ships, aviation, etc. The scope of application is very wide. At present, with the introduction of foreign advanced technology in my country's hardware stamping industry, equipment and process technology have been continuously developed. In the future, my country's hardware stamping industry will continue the momentum of structural adjustment, but at the same time there will continue to appear some bright spots: the polarization of hardware stamping enterprises It will intensify, some companies that are not adapted to market competition will withdraw from market competition through different channels, and metal stamping giants will gradually emerge. At the same time, although some hardware stamping companies have undergone transformation and adjustments according to the industrial structure, as a basic industry, stamping processing industry still has some drawbacks.

—. Six major directions for the development of my country's metal stamping industry

1. China's status as a global metal stamping manufacturing center will gradually be replaced by Southeast Asia.

With the increase in operating costs in China, the automobile and electronics industries are shifting to Southeast Asia, and the metal stamping manufacturing industry will also inevitably experience industry transfer.

2. Cooperation between enterprises will be significantly strengthened

In the environment of global competition, in order to obtain a favorable competitive position and improve competitiveness, industrial capital is another theme of industry operation. In 2004, Supor and Vantage went public successively, and Hongbao was also actively working for the listing. Wanhe's capital market operation will not stop due to the failure of the restructuring with Yuemeiya. From the perspective of capital, the current main feature is that the expansion of capital is intensifying. From the perspective of competitive behavior, cooperation in resource sharing between enterprises is increasing.

3. Enterprise polarization will further intensify

The next few years will be a period of high-speed shocks in the metal stamping industry. The direct consequence of this high-speed shock is the expansion of the current polarization of the metal stamping industry. It is expected that in the next few years, there will not be as many hardware stamping companies that can really survive in the market. However, such high-speed shocks in the metal stamping industry will bring huge opportunities, and the results of the shocks will make market operations more rational.

4. Competition among business channels is also becoming increasingly fierce

Due to the oversupply of domestic hardware stamping products and the increasing quality pressure, sales channels have become one of the key competitive factors, and the competition for channels has become increasingly fierce.

5. Market competition will shift to high-quality, high-tech products

With the deepening of competition, the profit margins at all stages of the hardware stamping industry chain are shrinking, and the room for price reductions is decreasing. More and more companies realize that price competition alone cannot build core competitiveness and is not the direction of long-term development, so they strive to explore new development paths. Many hardware companies have increased their technical investment, developed new products with high technology content, and took product differentiation as a long-term strategy for corporate development, seeking new market demand, establishing new economic growth points, and realizing the company’s viability. Continuous development.

Two. Some shortcomings of metal stamping processing enterprises

1. Outdated equipment: As far as the equipment is concerned, a large part of the hardware stamping processing enterprises are basically still in the production mode of small workshops. Generally, there are only a few punching presses and some mold processing equipment, and the conditions may be better. Several slow-moving wire cutting machines will be added. It is understood that most of the punch presses are basically low-end punch presses, without automatic blanking ports, blowing devices, etc.

2. Backward technology: Some large processing companies have many large metal stamping processing equipment, most of which were purchased seven or eight years ago. Due to the turnover of employees, the technology/experience during the handover is often not fully accepted by novices, and the acceptance is only About 50%. Later, although the equipment was advanced, it was still used as an ordinary compound machine, and the micro-connection was not used in the manufacturing process, and the efficiency of the machine tool could not be maximized.

Under the new cycle, it is unlikely that China’s overall economic growth will maintain an annual growth rate of 10% as in previous years. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2012, China’s annual revised GDP growth rate was only 7.0%. In addition, my country's economic development will pay more attention to qualitative aspects and the sustainability of economic development. For example, the full use of resources, the improvement of science and technology, replace the original resource consumption, and the investment of labor for development; in terms of environmental protection, the promotion of energy saving and emission reduction policies and the application of green environmental protection materials are increased.

Three, the future direction of metal stamping processing enterprises

1. Highlight "refinement, province and net"

2. Stamping forming is more "scientific, digital and controllable"

3. Stamping and forming can realize the whole process control

4. The product enters the control from the beginning of the design, considering the manufacturability, and using more advanced design software.

5. The flexibility of stamping production and flexible manufacturing

6. Application of composite technology

7. The stamping parts factory will participate in the design and functional supply of the main engine of the OEM.

8. The key to stamping lies in the die, and the development of stamping die is very important.
