Bring metal products industry, maybe people will feel familiar, but as long as you entered the kitchen, bathroom, they immediately entered the world of hardware products, large whole cabinet, steam shower room, small taps, showers, knives, scissors, metal products in our daily life, the indispensable actor an important role.
In industry, various types of malleable iron pipe fittings, hardware tools are also silently for the normal operation of large industrial systems play a role. In recent days by the China National Hardware Association,glue gun an industry promotion conference held by the Association Zhangdong Li told the author, as part of the manufacturing sector, metal products industries rely on cheap labor for the interests of the era has ended, is currently in the access to the depth of structural adjustment period of development, upgrading technology and equipment and improve product quality will be the hardware industry development trend of the future.
Facing labor shortage, lightly transfer is not easy.
Zhang Dongli, said the author, the export share in the metal products industry has a large proportion. Last year, the industry has a more substantial decline in exports, since the first quarter of this year, tools, hardware,glue stick architectural hardware and other industries there are retaliatory orders increased, a number of products in more than 50% increase, the association convened experts analyzed the relevant We judge this is due to the trade distributors in Europe and America this year, underestimated the degree of economic and market rebound, a change in the financial crisis, the peak of a single type of procurement supplement had a lot to replenish stocks.
It stands to reason the market inundated with orders, the industry should be happy occasion, but many companies are this unhappy white head. In the promotion conference, the author and around a hardware company in Zhongshan, Guangdong head struck up a conversation, he told the author: New Year after a surge in overseas orders, the enterprise even if the full capacity, it is difficult to meet the orders. We went to recruitment, workers seem to disappear all at once, is not a question of what kind of salary increases. As far as I know, in the past mainly in the southeast coastal areas of the labor shortage problem, not only further intensified and began to inland regions, the entire industry to spread.
In fact, early last year, many hardware companies began to retain workers, especially skilled workers moving from the brain. During the Spring Festival every year, many in the southeast coastal city workers began returning to work the following year after the holiday re-selected workplaces and jobs. As far as I know, the hometown of hardware in China, has said the Zhejiang Yongkang, in order to allow workers to work on time, some rather eye of the hardware business cards used to play warmth, friendship cards the way, put the end of the year award before the Spring Festival, the being sent to the hands of workers, hoping they can have effect on sense of belonging to the factory a few years, the voluntary return next year. While some enterprises have taken the opposite strategy, in order to avoid the loss of workers to provide work after the Lunar New Year bonuses, while the amount of money than the industry average increased accordingly.
Even so, after the Spring Festival, the flow of the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and the Shandong Peninsula manufacturing base metal products three or fewer workers, while the second and third tier cities with the interior construction, living standards, increase the wage structure, the entire manufacturing sector attractive to workers who are constantly reduced. The internal structure of a metal products industry, the deepening of adjustment was inevitable. Many enterprises have thought of a relatively simple and direct way: the transfer of industries, corporate relocation. However, there is the relative concentration of the hardware industry in Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai and some cities in Shandong Province are the forefront of reform and opening up, after nearly 30 years development, the industrial chain has been perfect, some of the characteristics of regional and specialty products industries, such as Wenzhou The metal lighters, razors, Yuyao, Cixi plastic lighters, Fujian's zipper, the slide hinge Leliu, etc., in the global market have enjoyed a high reputation. The accumulation of several decades before the formation of the industrial regional advantages, once the rash have to bear a significant risk of metastasis.
