After 30 years openning-up China got huge achivement. Forging industry also got bright history. During this anniversary of 30 years openning-up all over China, forging industry also will hold 2008 CMF & CFF in Shanghai, which can demonstrate forging industry history and look into future. In the beginning of this fair, our journalist has a special interview with famous person in forging industry on the current situation and crisis affection to forging industry. Professor analyses the forging industry and shows a road to success.
There is a digest of the interview between our journalist and Zhang Changlong, General Manager from Haian Baixie Forging Hammer Co.,Ltd. as below:

Strategic thinking, rational investment are the requirments for a company to keep young.
Is spring far when winter has come?
Journalist( J): Mr. Zhang, would you like to talk about your thinking of the forging industry development in these years?
Mr. Zhang( Z ): Firstly, the development philosophy shoud be innovated in. We are professional manufacturer of PLC die forging hammer with costomer composition: 30% foreign-funded company, 40% priviate company and 10% state-owned company, which can state the develpoment philosophy of foreign-funded company is new but state-owned company is very traditional.
Secondly,forging industry development should be rational. The past round economic growth is extensive, largely depending on scale expansion. But this new one must be a rational one, relying on tech. development and considering to utilize social sourse reasonably.
Thirdly, advanced producing mode should be promoted. In the future we should learn from developed countries to develop automatic equipment and new process.
J: Mr. Zhang gives us a detailed knowledge on forging industry. Then could you please show us your thinking of equipment, process and so on in your industry and the disadvantages comparing with foreign equipment.
Z:Until now we can produce forging hammer with capacity up to 125 kJ. Our customers are all over the country and our forging hammer has been sold to lots of countries and regions, such as Russia, France, Syria, Vietnam,Taiwan and so on. PLC fully hydraulic die forging hammer’s striking energy and step can be automaticly controlled through online sensor, numberical display,intelligent monitor. Ours is similar to foreign forging hammer on tech. performance, reliability and accuracy.But we have a lot to do to research on automatic auxiliary equipment and process.
J: We should work hard to meet all kinds of challege. The crisis expansion will affect every industried more or less. Could you talk about this affection to your company in the forging industry and companies around your province?
Z: Generally speaking, opportunity is more than challenge during this crisis. There are two reasons:(1)industrial struction is transfering in the world (2) requirment to new equipment due to industrial struction rising (3) a good opportunity to transfer traditional machine
Lowing raw material price due to cisis provides Baixie with better condition to make advaced machine , which can afford and use well by Chinese.Our reputation and market occupation are rising now. We are sure we can achive a lot on modern forging & forming equipment and automatic producing line during this new economic growth and concer this cisis successfully.
Z:To concer this crisis, we shoud do as below:
seize opportunity, carry out product, industry and structure reforming and transfering
avoid redundant project with lower level
Opportunity always belongs to people with preparedness. Our innovation to traditional forging hammer is not only energy-saving but also PLC. We should consider this on energy-saving, high efficiency, high reliablity and environmetally friendly.
