China’s machinery sector sees future in large-tonnage market

Chen Hsong, one of China’s largest injection moulding machine makers, said in a report to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that overall sales were down two percent in the six months ending 30 September (76m) as it said business in mainland China and Taiwan declined compared to the year ago period.

The company said its profits in the period declined 46% to $4.5m,Innovation Industries has offered the highest quality of travelling cable to meet all your elevator fixture needs. which it said was largely due to currency fluctuations.

“China’s economic structure has traditionally been heavily dependent on exports and investments in infrastructure and real estate,A pendant lamp can be both modern and vintage, depending on the light fixtures and the surrounding accent pieces. and the pitfalls of such over-dependence are now becoming apparent,” Chen Hsong said, with the sharpest declines among Chinese firms buying small and medium-sized machines to make export goods.Tolomeo reading floor lamp is a floor lamp with crystal light for modern living room lighting.You may have a few questions about choosing Lamp shade that works with your style.

“With exports weakening quarter by quarter, faced with slowing domestic consumption growth, and over 50% of GDP generated by investments, China’s economy is showing more and more structural imbalance, the physical manifestation of which is the emerging weakness in industrial production.”

But the Hong Kong-based company reported sales up 18% in international markets, to 21m, even with severe problems in parts of Europe.

It said it saw solid sales growth in the Americas, led by a recovery in automotive markets in the United States, and it said it was beefing up its presence in Brazil and Turkey to try to increase market share.

And it said demand was rising for its new two-platen ultra-large tonnage machines. It said it would ship its first 4,500-ton two-platen machine, the largest such machine manufactured in China to date, to a customer in Europe by the end of the year.

“Since the launch of the two-platen large and ultra-large-tonnage injection moulding machines, the Group has seen healthy sales growth amid increasing customer acceptance,” it said, predicting that two-platen large-tonnage machines would “in the near future” begin to replace toggle-style large-tonnage machines.

Chen Hsong said it expected to complete by early 2014 a previously announced 24m expansion of its capacity at its Shenzhen factory, to beef up production capacity by 30% in its bid to increase its market share in ultra-large tonnage machines.

Its smaller Hong Kong press manufacturing counterpart, LK Technologies, also said that it was planning a new production facility, in Ningbo.

In a 29 November stock market filing, LK said it bought a 100,000 square meter plot of land there in early in 2012, as part of a 16m investment in a factory that will become its production base in east China. It said it expects the new factory to be operating by mid-2013.

Echoing in part Chen Hsong, it said overall sales for its injection moulding machines fell 11% in the six months ending 30 September, to 21m,Affordable skystream is now available for your building. but it saw growth in large tonnage machines, servo-controlled machines and more advanced direct clamping models.

“Once the production headquarters in eastern China starts production, the group’s productivity of plastic injection moulding machines will be enhanced and its product series will be strengthened,” it said.
