Written by HMH | January 3, 2012 | 0 |





First, the rubber raw material price fluctuations, difficult to control business costs

In 2011, rubber and other raw material prices fluctuated wildly, natural rubber in the first quarter reached 43,500 yuan / ton, the historical record, synthetic rubber, the second and third quarters of upside force, or 10,000 yuan / ton, after both fell sharply. Affected by volatility in rubber prices, rubber tires and other major companies bear the brunt of difficult to control operating costs of production, inventory and increased risk of profit margins compressed to 2% to 5%, the industry faces serious challenges.

Second, the quality of Tianjin Kumho Tire industry to strengthen self-discipline event alert

“3.15″ Tianjin Kumho quality incident exposed the problem of improper use of back mixing, caused great repercussions in the industry, the tire company sounded the alarm. China Rubber Industry Association held its first tire industry forum to enhance quality and strengthen self-discipline, initiative and self-discipline issue. AQSIQ, the Ministry of Industry, Business Administration and three departments started a car tire for the special rectification activities.

Tianjin Kumho quality incident came to light, the tire companies in shock, in a timely manner meeting the quality of the tire business and on-site management of a self-examination. That the incident is not a technical issue, but management is a problem, reflecting the business in recent years, quality management, production site management paid insufficient attention.Business leaders must raise awareness, always put quality first, first, to ensure safe and reliable tire products, and should adopt modern management methods, the introduction of information technology, visual management, tire quality can choose to pursue, to minimize the human factors on quality tires the impact. And strongly urged countries to strengthen the tire market supervision, strict implementation of the tire industry policy, regulate the tire market, the formation of fair competition and healthy competition.

Third, the industry growth rate of rational fall into the track of healthy development

As the rubber raw material price fluctuations, domestic and international market downturn, slowdown in domestic demand, China’s major rubber products output growth down, exports fall, but no ups and downs of the situation, maintaining a stable economic operation. At the same time, the quality has been optimized to run: progress in product structure adjustment, rate of radial tires 86.5%, an increase of 2.5%, and other product structure has greatly improved; change the rubber industry growth achieved initial success, the tire’s dependence on external demand was reduced; significant effect of low-carbon economy, industry, energy consumption, there a number of energy-saving equipment, tires and other green products and green materials continue to emerge. These changes indicate that when economic growth moderately reduced, but reversed structure, help to promote the reform. China’s economy began to enter the rubber industry healthy development track.

Fourth, the world rubber industry kicked off this strategy

China’s rubber industry after the reform and opening up 30 years of development, especially the “Eleventh Five “ of rapid development, in order to continue to ensure stable and rapid development has laid a solid foundation, “five-second” period will be China’s rubber industry by the world’s rubber power critical period of transition to power.

China Rubber Industry Association, put forward 10 looking to build a world power in the rubber industry strategic initiatives are: new materials development strategy, market diversification strategy, low-carbon economic strategy, economic strategy cycle, rubber products, brand strategy, strategic marketing model of modern , mergers and acquisitions strategy, the modern enterprise management strategy, technology innovation strategy, human resources strategy. November 8 – 10, “Twelfth National Conference and the World Rubber Industry Rubber Industry information on this strategy Development Forum” was held in Nanchang, officially opened the rubber off the power development strategy.

China’s rubber industry through a major adjustment, major transformation, major restructuring has been to enhance the quality, to grow stronger in the process of significantly shorten the gap between the developed world rubber industry, rubber power to a power to speed up the development process. I believe choosing the direction and goals, to take practical measures in the strategy, it is possible to “Thirteen Five-Year” period, the basic power into the world rubber industry.

Fifth, the rubber industry set off a tide of green

With the implementation of the EU REACH legislation, and will be formally implemented in November 2012 the EU tire labeling, tire companies domestic security environment facing increasing pressure, the use of green raw materials, production safety and environmental protection product is already a trend. In response to global green manufacturing trends, this year, the domestic tire and set off upstream and downstream wave of green manufacturing.

April 26, the National Development and Reform Commission officially announced the “Guiding Catalogue of Industrial Structure Adjustment (2011 version),” clearly out of the rubber vulcanization accelerator NOBS Rubber antioxidant D and production facilities, while the rubber peptizer pentachlorothiophenol , rubber accelerator TMTD as a restricted product, from a policy to further ensure that the green tire manufacturing industry.

Double the money, the second choice, the green triangle and other tire companies have received U.S. EPA SMARTWAY product certification. Aeolus Tyre Co., Ltd. announced that from May onwards, the all-steel radial tire product uses green non-toxic raw materials, manufacturing, global marketing of steel tires are to meet EU REACH regulations.

Rubber Factory of Qilu Petrochemical, Lanzhou Petrochemical synthetic rubber plant, Dushanzi converting and has successfully developed other environment-friendly synthetic rubber. December 2, LANXESS Group together with China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association held in Beijing on the green rubber, the Chinese Rubber Industry Association, while giving strong support to jointly promote green rubber tires and high performance applications.

Sixth, China’s rubber Valley established as the industry an engine for development

2011 January, drawing the United States ‘Silicon Valley’ concept proposed by the “Chinese rubber Valley” set up in Qingdao. The total planning area of the valley about 3,000 acres, is a set of industry associations, universities, research institutions, renowned rubber enterprises and related intermediary services to support high-end industrial clustering, with research and education, business incubation and information platform, convention and exhibition business, culture Expo, and other six intermediate intermediation function. Currently, the total construction area of 350,000 square meters of a project had been completed .

The “World Rubber City,” said Akron City and Qingdao City, the United States signed a friendly town Sifang strategic cooperation agreement; China Rubber Industry Association, Qingdao Municipal People’s Government of Sifang, Qingdao University of Science and Technology, Inc. entered into a software-controlled strategic cooperation agreement, the association office Valley in rubber, rubber tape branch, shoes Branch of the China Academy of gutta percha rubber Valley has been settled.

Currently, the layout of domestic rubber industry is more dispersed, uncoordinated regional development. Rubber Valley is the history of China’s rubber industry is an important event, will effectively aggregate a variety of resources to the industry in the fierce international competition bigger and stronger , bound to the development of China’s rubber industry play an important leading role.

Seven, gutta percha into the development of large industry leading Eucommia

Eucommia is a cross-industry, cross-regional, inter-departmental, cross-cutting industrial and agricultural complex industrial system, involving industry, agriculture, forestry and medical care and other multi-sectoral.Only the whole industry chain are interdependent and coordinated development will produce the greatest benefits will achieve sustainable development.Whether it is agriculture, forestry, industry, or the rubber sector, as well as government departments, the development of the gutta percha have reached a consensus that to promote the development of the industry chain, gutta percha and its application will be leading.

March 2011, led by the China Rubber Industry Association formed a strategic alliance Eucommia industrial technology innovation to help Eucommia industry alliance committed to member and associated universities and research institutions to establish a research partnership.
