China is a big manufacturing country and a big mold producing country. It has complete die design and manufacturing technicians and programmers, skilled CNC machine operators, fitter assembly and mold debugging personnel. According to Luo Baihui, secretary general of the International Association of Mould & Hardware Plastics Industry Suppliers, China's mold industry base is mainly divided into six regions, Guangdong - the leading mold industry, Shanghai - automotive mold industry, Zhejiang - emerging mold base, Jiangsu ——Precision parts create first-class, Anwei – a new force emerging, Chongqing – the third pole of China's mold industry.

Zhejiang molds are mainly concentrated in Ningbo and Taizhou. Taizhou Huangyan is mainly famous for plastic molds. There are Xingtai, Xiyuan and Yuntian in automobile moulds. AOJIE is issued in motorcycle moulds. There are many home appliance moulds. There are Zhuangpu, Hengyi and Qixing in the lamp moulds. Yongmao, Dongnuo, extrusion molds have Haiyue, daily necessities molds have dry hair, bright light, stamping molds have Xuhui, Shending, FRP molds have Chaowei, Mikai, turnover box mold has new skills...

Luo Baihui recommended that Huangyan national mold enterprises include Xinuo Mould, Zhejiang Jingcheng Mould Machinery Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Hengda Plastic Mould, Zhejiang Meiduo Mould Factory, Zhejiang Jindian Mould Co., Ltd., Dow Mould Group, Huangyan Xingtai Plastic Mould Co., Ltd. Company, Zhejiang Rongxin Mould Plastic Co., Ltd.... At present, the research and development and innovation capabilities of Huangyan Mould Enterprise have been greatly improved, and many new technologies have also been widely used. Such as the development and application of three-dimensional design technology, the development and application of information management technology, the development and application of dual-color injection molding technology, and the stamping forming technology of thick welded plates.

Since the beginning of this year, the situation of electricity consumption in Zhejiang Province has been tightened, and the CPI index has continued to rise. The province's industrial economy has entered a state of “tight operation”. As one of the 21 block economy in Zhejiang Province, one of the transformation and upgrading demonstration zones of modern industrial clusters, Huangyan Mould Industrial Block also felt the tremendous development pressure brought about by “tight operation”. As production costs rise and profit margins are further compressed, mold companies are facing a severe test of survival. The injection molding workshop of Huangyan Binhai Molding Group, because there were not enough workers, most of the machine tools in the normal working day were stopped, and the workshop seemed a bit deserted.

The molds of Binhai Molding Group are independently developed and used to produce various types of automotive plastic parts. Since the beginning of the year, the company's injection molding workshop has been operating at less than two-thirds, and the worker gap is more than one-third. As a result, the downstream plastic products have insufficient capacity, which directly affects the development and production of upstream mold products.

Hong Mingzhi, deputy general manager of Huangyan Binhai Moulding Group Co., Ltd. said, “Our new products and new molds are constantly being developed. There are difficulties in the completion of tasks for old products, and it is difficult for new molds to come here. It’s hard to add, and it’s a big constraint on our production.”

According to the person in charge of the company, in addition to the impact of recruitment difficulties on the production of the company, the price of mold raw steel and workers' wages also generally rose, with increases of about 10% and 15% respectively. At the same time, since the beginning of the year, there has been a shortage of electricity in the province. The Binhai Molding Co. has to accept a two-day policy of one-star electricity. In desperation, enterprises have to solve their immediate needs through self-generation. However, self-generation does not guarantee the normal operation of some precision mold processing equipment, but also increases the cost of electricity by about 20%. These factors directly led to a 10% to 15% increase in the cost of the production of a car parts mold by Binhai Molding Co.

The increase in production costs directly reduces the profit margin of the enterprise. Coupled with insufficient power consumption and unstable production capacity, this makes companies worry about receiving mold orders.

Hong Mingzhi, deputy general manager of Huangyan Binhai Molding Group Co., Ltd. said, "Under the current tight electricity consumption and rising raw material costs, we must definitely weigh some orders. Some low-end mold orders, we may not necessarily Pick up."

Like Binhai Molding Co., this year, Zhejiang Hengda Plastic Mould Co., Ltd. also felt the huge survival pressure brought by the rising cost of production factors. According to the person in charge of the company, from January to April this year, the company's sales profit is expected to increase by 20%, and the output value is barely flat compared with last year. And such achievements have already made the company's responsible person feel quite satisfied.

Hu Shanming, general manager of Zhejiang Hengda Plastic Mould Co., Ltd. said, “In this environment, we let workers go to work normally and the equipment works normally. First, let the company stabilize, survive, and then seek market development.”

With the emphasis on talent and management of Huangyan Mould Enterprise, with the application of various new technologies in the mold industry, Huangyan Mould Industry will surely usher in a booming development period.
