Major changes in the printing industry
The printing industry has always been one of the most active industrial areas for technological transformation in China. With the continuous introduction of high-tech printing technology and equipment, the printing industry in China has become increasingly close to that of developed countries. In recent years, China's printing industry has adjusted its industrial structure, enterprise structure and product structure. Some gratifying changes have taken place in the printing industry and some new features and development trends have been formed.
Regional printing base has become a climate
Guangdong and Shanghai continue to lead the printing industry. In addition, regional packaging and printing bases have been formed in Wenzhou, Cangnan, Zhongshan, Guangdong, Xiong County, Hebei, Sanhe, Langfang, Dongguang, Pudong, Shanghai and Tongcheng, Anhui. The printing industry has become a pillar industry in the region.
Private printing industry develops rapidly
The structure of the industry dominated by state-owned enterprises is changing. The private-owned capital-based printing industry has achieved gratifying results. At present, Wenzhou's private printing and equipment equipment companies have an annual production value of 18 billion yuan. Many private enterprises have spent the period of primitive accumulation, and the development trend can not be ignored, such as Shanghai Jielong Group.
Printing industry capital operation started
The printing industry used to rely on product competition to occupy the market and expand the influence of the company. Nowadays, capital operation has surfaced. For example, at the beginning of 2002, the two major printing machinery manufacturing enterprises in the country, Beiren Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Huanggong Group Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. reorganized the new Shaanxi Beiren Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. The new company will give full play to the Beiren's capital and technological advantages to complement each other's advantages and jointly resist risks and promote development.
Foreign printing giant settled in China
After the accession to the WTO, foreign printers further accelerated their steps to settle in China. For example, the American Donnelley Printing Co., Ltd. has reached a cooperation agreement with the Shanghai Press and Publication Bureau's subsidiaries, and invested USD 29.5 million in the first phase to establish a printing company in the Qingpu Industrial Zone. In addition, the China Business Printing Co., Ltd. (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. has also started its China Merchants Rotary Printing Center invested and built in Chunhu Industrial Area, Pinghu Town, Shenzhen. The printing center has the largest production scale in the country. Three machines can be opened at the same time. It can print 10 tons of coated paper per hour, up to 50,000 tons a year.
The exhibition economy has developed greatly
In recent years, China has held a large number of exhibitions on printing and equipment every year. Now the exhibition has developed from a comprehensive exhibition to a professional exhibition. There are special exhibitions for printing machinery, screen printing, rapid printing, and printing equipment. In addition, in the past, the exhibition was concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, and now it is developing in terms of regionalization, such as regional exhibitions such as Xi’an and Chongqing. There are also some exhibitions held in the printing base, such as Wenzhou, Xiong County packaging and printing exhibition. (To be continued)
