China's OA equipment mold industry rises

China has become a major producer of office equipment and office consumables globally, and the OA equipment and mold industry has also developed rapidly. More than 60% of the world's copying equipment and 40% of the image printing equipment are manufactured in China; more than 80% of the world's ribbons, more than 50% of compatible cartridges, more than 30% of remanufactured cartridges, and 11% of laser cartridges are manufactured in China . Luo Baihui, head of the International Mould and Hardware & Plastics Industry Suppliers Association, said that due to the regional nature of the supply of mold companies, manufacturers of these equipment are generally supplied locally. The purchase of plastic molds and injection molding products in China has greatly promoted China's plastic molds. Industry, especially the development of precision plastic mold industry, the average annual growth rate of China's mold industry during the "fifteen" is 17.1%, while the OA equipment appearance parts, structural parts and other parts of the mold and plastic molding products industry average annual growth rate of 30% or more The industry has developed rapidly. By 2008, the output of OA equipment in China will reach more than 3 million sets.

Rapid product replacement, the emergence of plastic steel, plastic glass trend, and promote the rapid development of integrated machine technology, with printing, copying, fax and other multi-functional four-bit machine, five-one machine is gradually becoming OA equipment market mainstream. Due to the integration of many functions, the one-machine structure is more compact and the precision of its plastic parts is more demanding, which promotes the development of precision plastic molds. At the same time, due to the development of material technology, plastics have gradually approached hardware materials and glass materials in various aspects such as hardness, high temperature resistance, transparency, etc. At the same time, the inexpensive properties of lightweight, easy processing, and high volume reproduction make them It has become the material of choice for many components in the current OA equipment industry. At present, the proportion of plastic structural parts and appearance parts in OA equipment has already accounted for 55%, and it has gradually increased, which has effectively promoted the development of the precision plastic mold industry.

With the expansion of the number of mold “leading” enterprises and the increase in organization, coordination capacity and technical strength, the ability of a single mold enterprise to undertake vehicle molds has been formed, and even a whole vehicle mold for multiple models can be accepted within one year. At the same time, the industry has initially formed a specialized division of labor and group management, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the mold companies. According to Luo Baihui, the head of the International Die & Metals and Plastics Industry Suppliers Association, more and more companies, especially those in high-speed technology, environmental protection, and electronic technology, have chosen to obtain rapid development through capital market financing. However, in the mold industry, there are only a few die companies such as Anhui Tongling Sanjia Mould, Guangdong Big Wheel Mould, Chengfei Integration, Easy Molding Technology, and Changhong Technology. And these several are divided into different mold industries. The main products of Sanjia are integrated circuit packaging molds, chemical materials, and plastics hetero-plastic extrusion molds. Large-wheel molds and Chengfei integration are professional companies that produce automotive molds. Technology is a leading enterprise in the sub-industry that specializes in the production of OA equipment. It is the largest OA equipment manufacturer in China and the first listed OA manufacturer.

Shenzhen Changhong Mould Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2001. After nearly 10 years of development, Changhong Technology has expanded from the single manufacturing to the service development to the upstream R&D of enterprises, from the development of domestic small-scale enterprises to participate in the development of giants of international manufacturing giants. From the advanced manufacturers of OA equipment to high-end medical consumable products, Changhong Technology’s excellent road also represents the microcosm of China’s rising mold industry.

Changhong Technology started from Shenzhen and currently employs nearly 1,000 people and more than 80 R&D personnel, accounting for more than 8% of the total number of employees. The company is one of the leading enterprises specializing in the R&D, design, manufacture, injection molding and sales of precision non-metal product molds. The main products include office automation equipment (OA) components such as copiers and printers, appearance molds and injection molding.

Under the guidance of the concept of “Continuous Change, Beyond Self”, Changhong Technology always leads the industry with its innovative advantages. The company is not only a domestic company that has solved the technical problem of “shortening the mold cycle” earlier, but also realizes the operation of “standardized processes created by non-standard industries”, and has successfully integrated three softwares through comprehensive research on CAD, CAE, and CAM software. The design technology simplifies the mold making process and makes a great contribution to the development of the precision plastic mold research and manufacturing in China. And obtained the national high-tech enterprise certification, the industry was the first to be rated as China's key injection molding mold key enterprises. The company has strong competitive advantages in terms of technology, quality, standardization, complete product solutions and customer resources.

In addition to independent innovation, the company has established long-term exchanges and cooperation in technology research and development with famous universities such as Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Guangdong University of Technology, which has enhanced the company's scientific and technological innovation capabilities, knowledge reserves and research and development capabilities.

At present, the company has obtained 10 patents and one computer software copyright. There are a total of 23 patents declared and accepted, including 9 invention patents.

Since its inception, the company has been devoting itself to the R&D, design, manufacture, molding and production of precision plastic molds for exterior parts and structural parts of OA equipment, mainly for the world-famous OA equipment manufacturers such as Konica Minolta, Brothers. Provide precision plastic molds and molding products. With the advancement of the company's position in the industry in recent years, Changhong has begun to develop new major customers, such as Canon, Kyocera Mita, and other large-scale OA equipment manufacturers. Currently, it has entered the small-batch supply testing stage and is waiting for customers to complete the company's manufacturing system. After product certification, you can start mass delivery.
