Ezhou diamond cutter processing industry is struggling to change

Pictured: Hubei Changli Superhard Materials Co., Ltd. has cooperated with China University of Geosciences, Central South University of Science and Technology, Zhengzhou Sanmao Research Institute and other units in recent years. The quality and sales growth rate of diamond series products developed by the company are among the top in the domestic industry and exported to Europe, America and the Middle East. , Southeast Asia and other regions.

Into the Furshan Superhard Material Company in Yanji Town, Echeng District, Ezhou City, nearly 500 square meters of factory buildings are empty, only dozens of diamond presses are neatly arranged. "This situation has been going on for more than four months after being stopped by environmental supervision." Xiao Qin is the head of the company. As worried as she is, there are more than 100 SME owners in the local area: On the one hand, environmental protection supervision is becoming stricter, on the other hand, Ezhou is selected to build the first professional cargo airport in China and even in Asia, and the land is becoming increasingly tight.

Where to go? After 35 years of development from scratch and from small to large, the Ezhou diamond tool processing industry is facing difficult choices.

Environmental pressure promotes industry upgrade

"It is not the main raw material of raw materials, nor the main selling area of ​​the products. The two generations of Ezhou people are hard to find a way out of the cracks." Ren Xiaoguang, executive vice president of Ezhou Diamond Tool Industry Association, said: "The most brilliant, the city's production of knives Heads and saw blades account for 90% of the country's market."

Ezhou Blu-ray Superhard Material Technology Co., Ltd., founded by Ren Xiaoguang, started in the early 1990s and has now achieved 20 presses and is also in the process of being suspended. “The development of the Ezhou diamond tool processing industry has experienced ups and downs, and today's environmental protection pressure is growing.”

Last year, the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau rectified the “scattering and pollution” enterprises, and 15 diamond tool processing enterprises located in Fenghuang Street of the main city were shut down and shut down.

Ren Xiaoguang said that the “three-in-one workshop” similar to the residential area, office area and processing area is certainly in the process of rectification. However, in recent years, leading enterprises in the industry have continuously innovated technology, dust, noise, etc. are no longer a problem, and the drawbacks of layout dispersal due to historical reasons are urgently needed to be resolved.

Yanji Town is known as “the first town of diamond tool processing in China”. Drive through the town, there are diamond-related signs everywhere, workshop-style processing workshops can be seen everywhere, most of these small and medium-sized enterprises have been sealed by the local government. “There are only 10 companies with a certain scale, and they have not formed an intensive effect, which does not match the brand status formed over the years.” A person in charge of the town government said that the village is ignited and smokes from others, leading to environmental protection and safety hazards. Increase year by year.

At present, only three companies, Jinfeng, Changli and Maitai, are still in production in the town, and they have passed the environmental assessment and security inspection before the inspection. At Jinfeng Company, the Hubei Daily newspaper reporter finally saw a busy production workshop. The company, which covers an area of ​​30 acres and has more than 100 employees, has invested nearly one million yuan in environmental protection equipment in the past two years.

Old plans can't keep up with new changes

Looking at the office area of ​​Jinfeng Company, it can be seen that the building of a building in the urban area of ​​the aviation city is “long growing”. This is one of the supporting projects of Hubei International Logistics Core Hub project with Ezhou Airport as the main body. The airport to be built is just in the territory of Yanji Town.

On January 16, the feasibility study report of the Ezhou civil airport project was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission. Not long ago, the work report issued by the Ezhou Municipal Government stated that this year, the 10 square kilometer airport economic and industrial park in the core area of ​​the airport will be built, and will focus on integrated circuits, high-end equipment manufacturing, optoelectronic information, intelligent manufacturing, new energy, new materials, In the fields of artificial intelligence, aircraft modification and supply chain management, a number of large projects and good projects are introduced. “This means that the closer to the core area of ​​the airport, the more cautious planning land is used!” said Cao Hui, secretary of the Party Committee of Yanji Town.

Ren Xiaoguang revealed that at the beginning of this century, the government department planned to build a “Diamond Tool Ten Miles Promenade” in Yanji Town, covering an area of ​​about 2,000 acres. At the peak, the town was engaged in the diamond business of about 400 workshops and enterprises, and then gradually eliminated by the market. However, after years of development, it has been crowded out by a large number of non-diamond companies. This plan can no longer meet the demand for industrial quality improvement. Individual diamond companies have to seek to expand in the surrounding areas. Enterprises such as R&F Electromechanical have moved to the Sanhua Industrial Park in Lishui County on the other side of the Yangtze River.

Relatively speaking, the diamond tool industry covers a large area, but the tax contribution is not outstanding, and the output ratio per acre is low. During the visit, many business executives admitted that the industry has a low threshold, fierce competition, and very low profits. Even some small businesses have not paid taxes for many years.

The reporter saw from the newly published "Ece China Diamond Industry" that by the end of 2018, the city had a total of more than 200 diamond tool processing enterprises with an annual output value of about 3 billion yuan.

Being smart and strong is the future direction

At the beginning of this year, during the annual meeting of the Ezhou Diamond Industry Association, hundreds of corporate leaders jointly called on government departments to support the development of industrial clusters, plan industrial land as soon as possible, and incorporate diamond industry park planning into the planning of Ezhou Airlines New Town.

Duan Longchen, a professor at the China University of Geosciences, who is invited to participate in the conference, said that diamond tool processing is not only an industry with a broad market, but also has many years of brand precipitation in Ezhou. All parties should work together to help the entire industry overcome the difficulties encountered in development and help the industry continue to grow healthily. . In 2018, 13 companies in the diamond tool processing industry in Ezhou and the China University of Geosciences jointly established the “Hubei New Superhard Materials Innovation Center” to develop high-tech products.

In fact, as with Jinfeng and other companies, there are more than 30 diamond tool processing enterprises in the nearby Echeng New District. “These companies are represented by Hubei Exin Diamond Technology Co., Ltd., and they have moved into new industrial parks in the past few years. The development of the group is good,” said Yan Tao, secretary general of the Ezhou Diamond Tool Industry Association. "As long as the conditions are right, I am willing to move into the park." Yan Chunyin, general manager of Jinfeng Company, said that although the company has invested tens of millions of yuan in the past 10 years, it is certainly more advantageous to enter the industrial park in the long run.

For many years, Ezhou diamond tool industry cluster has been ranked as one of the key growth industry clusters in Hubei Province. A person in charge of the Ezhou City Federation of Industry and Commerce said that now the urban level and two levels attach great importance to the continued development of the traditional industry of diamond tool processing, and are working on the future development plan, the main direction is to be more sophisticated.
