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,glue gun knives, scissors, metal products in our daily life, the indispensable actor an important role in the industrial field, 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, an industry promotion conference held by the Association Zhang Dongli told this writer, 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 structural adjustment to the depth of development time, improve 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, glue stick the industry has a more substantial decline in exports, since the first quarter of this year, tools, hardware, architectural hardware and other industries there are orders for 'retaliatory' growth, the increase in number of products in more than 50%, 'associations bring together industry experts analyzed, we judge this is due to the trade dealer in Europe and America this year, underestimated the degree of economic and market rebound, a change in the peak of the financial crisis, 'make one' type of purchasing, 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 'worry a white head'. In the promotion conference, the author and around a hardware company in Zhongshan, Guangdong head struck up a conversation, he told reporters: '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. According to my understanding, have a 'hometown of hardware in China,' said the Zhejiang Yongkang, in order to allow workers to work on time, some rather eye of the hardware business with a dozen 'warmth card', 'friendship card' way before the Spring Festival the end of the year award, the welfare of the workers sent to the hands of hope that 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.
