China's three major power tool bases: Yongkang, Yuyao, Qidong

天启

Chinese hardware products are marketed in every corner of the world, and Chinese power tools are advancing amid setbacks. The three major production bases of Chinese power tools each have their own characteristics and have gained a place in the hardware industry with their own advantages.

Zhejiang Yongkang
浙江永康


Yongkang is a nationally renowned "hometown of hundreds of craftsmen" and "capital of hardware". The output value of the hardware industry accounts for more than 90% of the total industrial output value. It is the largest hardware product production base and distribution center in the country. Yongkang's power tools have an annual output of 23 million units, and the total output and export volume account for 1/4 and 1/3 of the country respectively. It is one of the largest power tool export bases, and is known as the world's top three power tool manufacturers together with Japan and Germany.

Power tools are one of Yongkang's economic pillars. In the past, due to the prevalence of shoddy and counterfeit products, Yongkang power tools were once notorious and were labeled as regional quality problems. Knowing shame is close to courage. In recent years, Yongkang electric tool industry has unswervingly implemented the "quality-based city" strategy, consciously invested in the "rectification action" aimed at catching up with Japanese and German products, and invested huge sums of money to transform itself with high-tech.

China Science and Technology Hardware City is the largest, most comprehensive and most influential hardware product distribution center, information center and technology exchange center in China. It is one of the key contact wholesale markets in the country for domestic trade. Last year, the market turnover was more than 15 billion yuan, ranking fourth among the 10 key markets in Zhejiang Province. The China Hardware Expo, which has been held for 9 consecutive sessions, has been unprecedented and has become an important stage for "Yongkang hardware to the world, and the world's hardware to Yongkang". The second phase of the project, which also covers an area of ​​500 acres, has completed the construction of the market area and opened for business. It is building a comprehensive living area and starting the construction of the logistics center and exhibition center. The National Development and Reform Commission will approve the name of China Hardware Products Center and is committed to building an advanced hardware manufacturing base.


Zhejiang Yuyao
浙江余姚


Yuyao's development history: Starting from small hardware, it has experienced the development process from small to large, from accessories to complete machines, and has a solid foundation. In recent years, our city has promoted the sustained and healthy development of the power tool industry by vigorously accelerating the gathering, integration and upgrading of the power tool industry and cultivating leading enterprises. It is reported that there are more than 300 power tool enterprises in the city, including 32 enterprises above designated size and 8 enterprises with annual output of more than 100 million yuan; the annual production of more than 800 varieties of power tool products in 8 series such as electric drills, electric planers and electric saws is nearly 20 million units, with an annual output value of nearly 6 billion yuan, sales revenue of nearly 5 billion yuan, and export transaction value of 2 billion yuan; the output of various accessories accounts for about 50% of the total national output, with an output value of 3 billion yuan. In April last year, our city was awarded the "China Power Tool Manufacturing Base" by the China Electrical Equipment Industry Association, becoming the third largest Chinese power tool industry base after Qidong, Jiangsu and Yongkang, Zhejiang.

The entire power tool industry in Yuyao City has the following characteristics:

1. Large production volume and many types of products. Involving various complete machines and supporting products, such as impact drills, electric hammers, cutting machines, grinders, rotors, plastic parts, aluminum die-casting, etc.

2. The regional distribution is relatively concentrated, and a block economy of a certain scale has been formed. The leading enterprises in the power tool industry and the production of complete machines are mainly concentrated in four streets in the urban area, the Economic Development Zone and Lubu Town. There are also a large number of rotor and stator production enterprises in Lubu Town.

3. The leading enterprises in the industry have taken shape and show a certain industrial driving effect. A group of enterprises with a certain production scale, such as Chewang Electronics, Yangming Power Tools, Wuyuan Power Tools, and Tianbang Star, have developed into the backbone of the industry. Due to the high correlation of the power tool industry, an electric tool enterprise can drive 60 to 80 supporting enterprises. The rapid growth of the leading enterprises in the industry has driven a large number of electric tool supporting enterprises in our city, and good supporting cooperation has reduced procurement costs, thus forming a good pattern of resource sharing, mutual promotion and common development between our city's advantageous industries such as plastics, molds, and hardware and the power tool industry.

4. The industry has risen from the stage of quantitative accumulation to the stage of qualitative improvement. Our city's electric tools are exported to the mid-to-high-end markets such as the United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia. 80% of the companies have passed the quality management system and 3C certification, and the inspection and testing equipment has been gradually improved. The product quality and technical level have been greatly improved compared with the past.


Qidong, Jiangsu
江苏启东


Qidong City was officially awarded the title of "Jiangsu Electric Tool Export Base" by the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the Provincial Department of Finance. This is the first in the province. According to statistics, Qidong has a team of 60,000 to 70,000 people engaged in electric tool sales across the country, with an annual sales volume of nearly 20 billion yuan. In Beijing, Shanghai, Jinan, Shenyang, Xi'an and other places, there have also emerged an electric tool street and electric tool market with Qidong people as the protagonist.

Qidong Tianfen International Electric Tool Trade City, relying on the local electric tool industry advantages and the influence of the annual "China Qidong Tianfen Technology Hardware Fair", has become an important platform for the development of my country's electric tool industry and market trade, greatly promoting the leapfrog development of China's electric tool industry.
