China is a big country in manufacturing and mold production. It has complete die design and manufacturing technicians and programmers, skilled CNC machine tool operators, fitter assembly and mold debugging personnel. According to Luo Baihui, Secretary General of the International Association of mold and hardware and plastic industry suppliers, China's mold industry base is mainly divided into six regions, Guangdong, the leader of the mold industry, Shanghai, the main automotive mold industry, Zhejiang, the emerging mold base, Jiangsu, the first-class precision parts, Anwei, the emerging new force, and 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. Automobile molds include Xingtai, Xiyuan and Yuntian, motorcycle molds include Aojie zhoufa, home appliance molds include Mido, lamp molds include Zhuang Pu, Hengyi and Qixing, pipe fitting molds include Yirui Yongmao and Dongnuo, extrusion molds include Haiyue, daily necessities molds include dry hair and bright light, stamping molds include Xuhui and Shending, FRP molds include Chaowei and mikai, and turnover box molds have new technology

Luo Baihui recommended that Huangyan national mold enterprises include Sinochem mold, Zhejiang Jingcheng Mold Machinery Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Hengda Plastic mold, Zhejiang Meiduo mold factory, Zhejiang Jindian Mold Co., Ltd., Dow mold group, Huangyan Xingtai Plastic Mold Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Rongxin mold plastic Co., Ltd... at present, the R & D and innovation capabilities of Huangyan mold enterprises have been greatly improved, Many new technologies have also been widely used. Such as the R & D and application of three-dimensional design technology, the R & D and application of information management technology, the R & D and application of double color injection molding technology, and the stamping forming technology of thick welded plates.

Since this year, the power consumption situation in Zhejiang Province has been tight, coupled with the continuous rise of CPI index, the industrial economy of the province has entered a state of "tight operation". As one of the 21 demonstration areas for the transformation and upgrading of block economy to modern industrial clusters in Zhejiang Province, Huangyan mold industry block also feels the great development pressure brought by "tight operation". With the rise of production costs and the further compression of profit space, mold enterprises are facing a severe test of survival. In the injection molding workshop of Huangyan Binhai molding group, most of the machine tools in the workshop stopped on normal working days because there were not enough workers, making the workshop a little deserted.

The moulds of Binhai molding group are independently developed and used to produce all kinds of automotive plastic parts. Since the beginning of the year, the startup rate of the company's injection molding workshop is less than two-thirds, and the gap of workers is more than one-third. As a result, the production capacity of downstream plastic products is insufficient, which directly affects the development and production of upstream mold products.

Hongmingzhi, deputy general manager of Huangyan Binhai molding Group Co., Ltd., said, "our new products and new molds are constantly being developed. There are difficulties due to the constraints on the completion of tasks for old products. It is even more difficult for new molds to come here, which has a relatively large restriction on our production."

According to the person in charge of the enterprise, in addition to the impact of difficult recruitment on the production of the enterprise, the price of raw steel for molds and the wages of workers have also generally increased, 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 our province. Binhai molding company had to accept the policy of limiting electricity for two days a week. Helpless, the enterprise had to solve the urgent problem through self generation. However, self power generation can not only ensure the normal operation of some precision mold processing equipment, but also increase the power cost by about 20%. These factors have directly led to a 10% to 15% increase in the cost of producing an auto parts mold by Binhai molding company.

The rise of production costs has directly compressed the profit space of enterprises. Coupled with insufficient electricity and unstable production capacity, enterprises have many worries when receiving mold orders.

Hongmingzhi, deputy general manager of Huangyan Binhai molding Group Co., Ltd., said, "under the current situation of such tight power consumption and rising raw material costs, we must weigh some orders. We may not necessarily accept some low-end mold orders."

Like Binhai molding company, this year, Zhejiang Hengda Plastic Mold 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 target of increasing its sales profit by 20% failed, and its output value was barely the same as that of last year. But such achievements have made the company's leaders quite satisfied.

Hu Shanming, general manager of Zhejiang Hengda Plastic Mold Co., Ltd., said, "in this environment, we let workers work normally and the equipment operate normally. First of all, let the enterprise stabilize and survive, and then look for the market for development."

As Huangyan mold enterprises attach importance to talents and management, and with the application of various new technologies in the mold industry, Huangyan mold industry will usher in a period of vigorous development.
