The State Implements a "Cold-tight" Policy and Metallurgical Equipment Should Develop New Markets

Metallurgical equipment is a technology-intensive and capital-intensive enterprise. Over the years, the rapid development of China's metallurgical equipment industry has benefited from the rapid economic growth in China, which has led to the development of the iron and steel industry and thus to the development of China's domestic metallurgical equipment manufacturing industry. . The Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that the implementation of a prudent fiscal policy and tight monetary policy in 2008 will undoubtedly lead the country to adopt a “tight monetary policy” that will have an impact on the entire manufacturing industry, including metallurgical equipment. .

At the end of 2007, the General Office of the State Council issued a notice requiring strict control over new projects. The General Office of the State Council has forwarded the Opinions of the National Development and Reform Commission on Strengthening the Control of Fixed Assets and Strictly Controlling Newly Launched Projects, requiring that all new projects be cleared up. The five ministries and commissions including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Land and Resources, and the China Banking Regulatory Commission issued the “Guidelines for the Clearance of Newly-Launched Projects” with “special dispatches”, requiring new projects with a total investment of 100 million yuan or more to be included in the statistical scope in the first half of 2007. One-by-one comprehensive clean-up. Among them, the electricity, steel, electrolytic aluminum and other industries are required to clean up the total investment of 30 million yuan and above. This is precisely the specific measures taken by the state to implement a tight monetary policy, to prevent the rapid growth of economic growth from overheating, and to prevent price from structural rise to obvious inflation.

Therefore, the difficulty of loans and the increase of financing costs are serious problems faced by the steel industry and the metallurgical equipment industry in 2008. In 2008, a number of backward steel production lines in China will be eliminated. A number of metallurgical construction projects that do not meet the requirements will be cancelled, and the market demand for metallurgical equipment will also be reduced. This is an inevitable trend.

With the implementation of the “tight” monetary policy of the country, the competition in the metallurgical equipment market in 2008 will be more intense. For manufacturers and merchants, innovating the service concept and raising service awareness is also under the “tight” environment. It is an important measure to expand the metallurgical equipment market. China's metallurgical equipment market is very large. Under the macro-control, as a metallurgical equipment manufacturing enterprise, it is necessary to study the status quo of China's steel industry and China's metallurgical equipment industry, target the metallurgical equipment that China's metallurgical enterprises urgently need, conduct research and development, and open up new markets.

Relevant experts stated that the effect of the national policy to revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry will be further manifested in 2008.

For example, a series of policies that the state encourages the use of domestically produced equipment will drastically boost the demand for domestically produced equipment, thereby bringing about an overall upgrade of the domestic manufacturing industry and a continuous increase in long-term competitiveness. Currently, a series of policies including 40% of domestically-manufactured equipment for offsetting income tax, production-type value-added tax in the northeast and central and western regions, and consumption of imported complete machines and parts and components are being gradually implemented in accordance with the Opinions on Revitalizing the Equipment Manufacturing Industry. Refined policies are gradually being introduced.

At the end of 2007, the implementation of a large-scale metallurgical equipment implementation program in the field of equipment manufacturing was introduced. This is another substantive measure for promoting the localization of the equipment manufacturing industry following the implementation of import tax preferential policies for the equipment manufacturing industry. In the large-scale metallurgical equipment autonomy program, in addition to determining the autonomy goal of the metallurgical equipment during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, eight metallurgical equipment independent support projects were added. The plan confirmed that the complete set of large-scale hot and cold continuous rolling equipment, complete equipment for pickling and annealing coating, large blast furnace gas turbines, and the autonomy rate of large-scale oxygen generators of 100,000 cubic meters or less should reach 70%; 5000 cubic meters and The following autonomy rate for blast furnace blower and blast furnace gas residual pressure heat recovery power generation equipment, oil film bearings for 5m and below rolling mills and DCS control systems and key instruments shall reach 80%; and equipment with an autonomy rate of 90% shall have 5.5m or less side loading Coal-fired solid coke oven machinery and equipment, 1,000 tons of daily-active lime and complete sets of equipment, annual production capacity of 5 million tons of pellet production equipment, large-scale converter gas dry purification and recovery device, large-scale heavy plate continuous casting complete sets of equipment, large-scale thick and thick Plate complete sets of rolling equipment, large-scale rolled sheet finishing equipment, large-scale metal tube rolling equipment, and finishing complete sets of equipment. This will be conducive to the development of China's manufacturing equipment industry and the expansion of the metallurgical equipment market.
