Development status of China's mold companies
Dec 25, 2023| Most domestic mold companies are not very large in scale, with generally no more than 300 employees and an annual output value of less than RMB 100 million. Most mold manufacturers mainly produce medium and small molds, which can basically meet the needs of the domestic market. Compared with foreign countries, the average price of molds is 1/2~2/3 of the average price of foreign advanced mold companies, and the lifespan is only about half of it.
Large mold companies move forward steadily
According to national statistics, there are more than 178 key professional backbone mold companies in the country. The core products of these large mold companies are precision molds. Judging from statistical data, the demand for precision molds continues to rise, and large mold companies are moving forward steadily.
With the advancement of science and technology and the continuous development of production and processing technology, we have higher and higher quality requirements for daily necessities, such as small household appliances, mobile phones, and even battery vehicles, automobiles and other means of transportation. Correspondingly, the mold product molding There are more stringent requirements on process, quality, precision, mold service life, etc.
First, we must have a reasonable overall design plan and process production process, and then select a variety of high-quality mold materials according to the use occasion, and use high-precision processing machine tools such as precision CNC and slow wire cutting to produce relevant mold parts, which are carried out by professional mold engineers. Assembly and polishing and other surface treatment processes are carried out until the mold is completed. Some precision molds will also be used as test molds for process testing in the early stages of development. Therefore, the technical content of precision molds is very high, especially high-end precision molds. A considerable part of them need to be imported. Even the precision molds that we can develop independently are mostly concentrated in some powerful large-scale mold manufacturers in China.
Enterprises with precision mold manufacturing capabilities usually have high-level mold design and manufacturing technology, can continuously learn, digest and absorb various new technologies in the process of accumulating and inheriting core technical experience, and have a complete management system and sufficient economic resources. strength. High-end molds bring relatively generous returns, which in turn promotes the sustainable development of the company, allowing it to continue to advance in a virtuous cycle.
