"Made in China" sweeps the advantages of the pump industry can go far

"Made in China" swept the world, the pump industry is no exception. Chinese-made pumps have low-cost competitiveness that poses a formidable challenge to the West, but how long this advantage lasts and whether innovation can maintain its advantages require that we work hard to make it.
   Compared with the western pump industry, China's pump industry has not many advantages. First, low cost is the competitive advantage of China's pump industry. The wages of Chinese laborers are three dollars less than the average western daily. Most businesses recruit workers from rural areas elsewhere, and the factory buildings are workers' quarters to reduce costs. The cost of leasing a factory or building a factory is also lower than that of building factories in western countries. Moreover, the rapid growth of China's construction , petroleum, petrochemical and environmental markets and major water diversion projects have become an important pillar for the development of China's pump industry. It can be said that China's continued growth in market space is a prerequisite for China's pump industry to maintain its advantages. However, these advantages are caused by the external environment of the enterprise, not caused by the core competitiveness of the enterprise. If the environment changes, it is very difficult for the Chinese pump industry to participate in the international competition.

Compared with the Western pump industry, China's pump design capability, technological innovation capacity there is still a big gap. At present, most of China's pump design capacity can only meet the domestic market. The introduction of advanced technology rarely do innovation. When overseas customers visited China's heavy industry projects, such as paper making and petrochemicals, they found that many of the pump products in the project were only changed on the basis of Western design prototypes according to nominal and DIN standards. The result is that pump companies have a hard time exporting their products to Western markets.

Some large state-owned enterprises in China can now produce spare parts for overseas pump companies that have advanced CNC machining centers and CNC machine tools, such as AutoCad and CMM, but these are rarely used for domestic product processing Impede the improvement of China's pump design capabilities.

Some pump manufacturers in China have modern equipment that can be automated and have a very good working environment that dwarfs the foundries in the West. But most businesses have obsolete equipment and harsh working conditions. At present, the Chinese pump companies can cast aluminum, copper, cast steel, cast iron, 304 and 316 stainless steel, composite pump products, but due to the backward casting process, cast steel, cast iron materials are rarely saved in the production process.

Design ability to keep up, backward processing technology, became the shackles of China's pump industry. Coupled with the localization of foreign-funded enterprises, the future development of China's pump is not optimistic. As a large number of domestic bearings, seals manufacturing products also have the price advantage, therefore, some of the Western pump companies have to China to build factories. On the one hand, it will step up its efforts to develop the Chinese market; on the other hand, it will save a lot of costs by assembling parts and components to its own assembly plant in China.

In order to solve the problems in China pump, some countries have developed a policy. As the general manager of the Association of Pump Association points out Wang Ansheng pointed out in the article: the state put forward the principle of market-oriented technology, "transfer of technology, joint design, manufacturing cooperation" and other ways to cooperate with foreign partners, while ensuring that domestic enterprises have Sufficient subcontracting ratio to promote domestic enterprises to master a complete R & D and manufacturing technology. Because of this, most of the foreign-funded companies that have succeeded in developing the Chinese market are those that set up joint ventures with Chinese domestic enterprises such as KSB and ITT Flygt.

While encouraging foreign investment to enter China and cooperate with China, we also hope that China Pump Industry will seize the opportunity and catch up with it. This will not only create clear water and blue sky for China, but also contribute to the development of world pump industry.
