European enterprises Nuggets China machine tool market

"As the world's fastest growing economy, the Chinese economy is very dependent on the continuous development of the machine tool sector, especially for large-scale infrastructure projects and major projects. Machine tools are indispensable." June 13, 2012, Spain The President of the Association of Machine Tool, Accessories, Parts and Tools Manufacturers (AFM) Mikel Artola said at the 11th China International Machine Tool Show (cimes2012) held in Beijing.

Mikel Artola's AFM has about 140 members and is working to help its member companies enter the international market.

Spain is the third largest machine tool manufacturer in Europe, and Germany and Italy have always been the first and second largest markets in Spain. However, this “ranking” changed in 2011. China has left Germany and Italy far behind and has become the largest export market for Spanish machine tools. Not only in Spain, but also in the machine tool companies of other countries and regions in the world, China’s huge market potential has given them a warm welcome and eagerness to try.

In the view of MikelArtola, compared with Chinese machine tool technology, the superiority of Spanish machine tools lies in its innovative technology and flexibility, which can customize machine tool products for users, and the price is high.

The representatives of the Bavarian mechanical engineering industry, the German Federation of Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers and Bayern International, also participated in the exhibition. The Bavarian official delegation organized by Bayern International and the German Federation of Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers has 12 exhibitors in different fields. The main purpose of this Bavarian official delegation is to promote the relationship between Bavarian companies and potential partners in China.

In the future, good and mutually beneficial cooperation will continue to be the main driving factor for the common development of China and Germany in the machine tool sector.

At present, the world economic competition is undergoing profound changes and adjustments. Accelerating the cultivation and development of high-end equipment manufacturing is not only an urgent need to build new advantages in international competition and to grasp the initiative for development, but also an inherent requirement for changing the mode of economic development and promoting the upgrading of industrial structure. .

From an international point of view, the financial crisis has made industrialized countries re-emphasize the development of the real economy and proposed development routes such as re-industrialization, low-carbon economy, next-generation new energy, and smarter earth, aiming at high-end manufacturing fields, targeting new industries, and seeking new models. Competitive Advantage. Not only does it pose fierce competition for the future development of high-end equipment in China, but it will also cause market space pressure on products that have formed an advantage.

Engels, head of the Department of Foreign Economics of the German Federation of Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing in Baden-Württemberg, said in an interview that China’s economy is growing rapidly and there is a large demand for machine tools. For Baden-Württemberg companies, The Chinese market provides them with important business opportunities. What's more, they see the broad prospects for high-end equipment manufacturing in China in the next five to ten years.
