China s auto parts manufacturers are facing new development opportunities |
Parts of foreign capital into China is not always the local parts and components to have an impact. Many multinational automotive companies tend to communicate directly with the outstanding management of low-cost Chinese parts and components enterprises, as these enterprises lack the technical strength, Zhuji Chang and even hands to teach them. China's auto parts manufacturers are facing new development opportunities. Some transnational car companies, such as Ford, PSA Peugeot, GM and so set up purchasing centers in China, at the same time, some large procurement providers such as Delphi, Visteon, Valeo, such as China also set up a procurement office. Suppliers are continually received Inquiry. 2004, the import of spare parts from the 2002 level of 3.4 billion U.S. dollars surged to 11.3 billion U.S. dollars. But in 2005, this trend has been reversed. Although car sales increased by 14 percent, but the import of spare parts has dropped to 10.4 billion U.S. dollars, 10.6 billion U.S. dollars from exports surged to 15.8 billion U.S. dollars, statistics show that the two parts industry in China with world-class technology The gap is narrowing. Asian companies by the new chairman and chief executive officer Jack Pincovschi (Jack Perkowski) told this reporter that this gap in the future will completely disappear within four to five years. Since 1993, China's policy on allowing foreign manufacturers in China of spare parts companies hold a majority stake, but overseas suppliers have been reluctant to have the latest technology to China. With advanced technology company found that the parts can no longer ignore the Chinese market, due to the possible infringement of intellectual property rights and the loss of technical concerns will not give way to enter China will face greater threat awareness. Those with advanced technology components companies have come to China for his old partner - those supporting multinational car companies. China's automobile industry increased competition for almost all the multinational auto companies recognize that if we do not accelerate in China's domestic parts procurement, in an increasingly fierce price war cars will disadvantage, but also because of parts and components from abroad, The after-sales service and a series of consumer satisfaction is related to the target will be possible because of the timely supply of spare parts can not be affected. In this case, transnational auto parts companies to look into the procurement of China. However, the new trends indicate that foreign investment into China is not always parts to the local parts and components to have an impact. For example, the U.S. parts production factory in China, the cost is lower than its local factory, but higher than China's domestic parts and components enterprises, foreign companies came to the parts of China will certainly be able to compete not won the domestic parts Enterprises. In China, home to grow up well-known local parts companies newly-founded since 1997, initially only to the transnational auto companies in China joint venture factory to do two complementary, has now begun directly to Ford Motor Company and other joint-venture supplier. Although there are parts of foreign enterprises core technology, but do not understand China. The new sub-branches different, and its managers and workers are Chinese, they have a better understanding of China. The company's accumulated disadvantage is the lack of technology, but this problem can and customer cooperation, and joint venture companies and foreign components to solve. China's net domestic parts business to low-cost hard to understand, but the only cost is not enough, multinational companies also need reliable quality assurance. Therefore, they tend to communicate directly with the outstanding management of the pure local parts and components enterprises, as for the technical shortcomings of these enterprises, multinational corporations and even hands to teach them. New CEO Jack Asia Division, said: "those parts of foreign companies entering China is the best and our cooperation in such enterprises. Purely because of local manufacturers and compared with 10 years ago, we are the advantages of capital, is now the advantages of management level And technology. Yuchai I have participated in the year-end supplier General Assembly, after a purely local suppliers I find that the capital is not his problem, his biggest problem is management and technology. " Therefore, although the current China's domestic enterprises parts of the world's leading enterprises compared to the share of very small, but it also gives them more room to develop. Things can not all plain sailing. In Europe and other countries, parts and components suppliers often occupy the vast majority of technology products, that is, its car plant or procurement departments will provide their own drawings to the supplier, the supplier to see drawings to produce. However, car plant does not have the technology, the core of the things also is in the hands of suppliers. Now, transnational car companies to China or other countries to purchase, then the original parts supplier certainly does not want to keep their drawings to the core of these multinational companies. This has created another problem, because the domestic parts are not able to grasp so many technologies, transnational car companies, as buyers can only provide a rough comparison of the drawings, the new suppliers Zuobu Chu, or done after the Product quality can not, then we will simply miss the opportunity. Ford Ford before purchasing vehicles from the German hub, and later, China began producing a home factory, but when Ford really needs, the quality of products made by the factory can not. Therefore, the choice of matching plants, transnational car companies are very cautious, they only put the item of a very small part of you do, and this is not soon will have the opportunity. Strategy China's domestic parts suppliers how to deal with the « The correct strategy is to first attack in the domestic small car business, the ability to accumulate points, again enter the manufacturers supply chain. That the "first win large orders, factory orders for small mention on the" argument into a real misunderstanding. |
