The production and sales of the economy and machine tool industry in the Czech Republic, Poland, and Russia are all affected by the world financial crisis. However, due to the different basic conditions in different countries, the degree of impact is also very different.
Poland’s machine tools are imported by 70%. Although affected by the financial crisis, Poland’s economy can still grow by about 1% in the first half of 2009. Compared to Western Europe, such as Germany’s decline of 7%, Poland’s impact is still relatively small. . The machine tool factories in Poland are almost all privately-owned factories. They generally do not borrow from banks. Polish banks have not yet closed down. The largest machine tool factory in Poland is DMG's wholly-owned factory in Poland, and MAZAK also has a wholly-owned factory. Many world-famous companies such as Siemens, FANUC, AMADA, OKUMA, etc. have representative offices in Poland. Many banking and money-making industries are also mostly controlled by foreign capital, and Poland is more open.
The Czech machinery manufacturing base is relatively good. The machine tool manufacturing industry has a hundred years of history. According to the introduction of the Czech Machine Tool Association (SST), 2008 was a period of rapid development of the Czech machine tool industry. During this period, the Czech machine tool industry increased by 2.5 times. It is said that the rapid growth in recent years has been driven by the investments of Slovakia and Europe. This itself implies a crisis because about 70% of the Czech machine tools are exported. This financial crisis has caused the European economy to slump and the machine tool market to shrink. The machine tool industry in the Czech Republic has suffered heavy losses.
Although the Czech Republic was greatly affected by the financial crisis, at the end of 2008, the Czech Republic’s GDP actually grew by 3.2%, which was more than three times higher than that of the euro zone countries. When the financial crisis struck, not only the financial sector but also other sectors were affected. In 2008, the growth rate of the Czech machine tool industry still reached 19%, ranking seventh in Europe and 14th in the world, indicating that the Czech machine tool industry was successful. The machine tool industry is still an important industrial sector in the Czech Republic. Machine tools are still important export products of the Czech Republic. In 2008, Czech exports increased by 9.3%, gold-cut machine tool exports increased by 9.5%, while imports of gold-cutting machines decreased by 0.8%. In 2008, the growth of machine tool consumption in the Czech Republic was small, but the consumption of different kinds of machine tools varied greatly. The consumption of gold-cutting machines only increased by 2.5%, while the consumption of metal-forming machine tools increased by 21.7%. Imports mainly import high-tech machine tools from Germany, Japan and Switzerland. At the beginning of 2008, the impact of the financial crisis began to appear. The Czech domestic production began to slowly decline, and the decline in the fourth quarter soared to 13.2%, which almost offset the annual growth. In 2008, the contract value decreased by 5.9%, and foreign orders decreased by more than 8.4%. In spite of this, the Czech machine tool industry has been producing for more than 150 years and has a good foundation, of which 53% are machine tools and 47% are tools and parts. Production is now normal and trade with Chinese machine tools is also active. For example, in 2008, the Czech Republic exported 6% of hammer, mill and thread machine tools to China and 13% from China. Grinding machine tools exported China accounted for 4%, and China imported 6%. According to the estimates of the Czech Machine Tool Association, machine tool production in the Czech Republic may decline by about 10% in 2009, and the situation will improve in late 2009 and early 2010.
The Russian machine tool industry was most severely affected by the financial crisis. Now that many factories are not completely shut down, they only work for 2-3 days a week, and their production declines by more than 50%. Some plants stop work for 2 to 3 months. The TBS plant in St. Petersburg was once known as the Leningrad machine tool factory for the production of large and heavy machine tools in the Soviet era. Affected by the financial crisis, there are fewer users now and the task is not satisfactory. The original 400 employees are now only 10 people. On the one hand, it undertakes and produces some equipment needed by the Russian railway industry, such as not turning wheels on lathes, but also provides some machine tools for military industry, metallurgical industry, and aircraft industry. The other is the transformation of old machine tools.
Russia experienced this financial crisis. Although it has had a bad influence on the economy, it has caused many factories to think and produce new ideas. Many companies are considering the adjustment of product structure and want to develop and produce the latest products. We are still considering reducing production costs, improving the technical level and quality of products, and changing the crisis into opportunities. Now, the Russian Machine Tool Association is also drafting a five-year plan (2010-2015) for the government to promote the development of the Russian machine tool industry. One of the objectives of the plan is to raise the level of research and development, and the government will provide 400 million U.S. dollars in support; another purpose is to Provide 100 million U.S. dollars for the company's new product development. The Russian Machine Tool Association believes that the industry will improve after September 2009, because in April and May the Russian government took many measures to help various industrial sectors, such as building space ships in the aviation sector, replacing old weapons and equipment in the defense sector, and developing agricultural machinery. By the second half of the year, these measures will basically show results.
In summary, it can be seen that the impact of the financial crisis on Poland is small because 70% of its machine tools are imported. In 2009, the Polish economy will have a 1% increase, which is better than in Western Europe. Poland is also a place where Chinese machine tools can make a difference. The Czech Republic has a good foundation in the machine tool industry. The technical level and quality of the machine tools are also relatively good, and 70% of the machine tools are exported, so it is also affected by the financial crisis. At present, the production of the Czech machine tool industry is still relatively normal. They have strong desire to develop trade and cooperation with China and seize the Chinese machine tool market. They are our worthy competitors. The decline of the Russian machine tool industry is the most serious and recovery will take time. However, the Russian government has noticed that the problem is serious. It also emulated China. It has formulated a five-year revitalization plan and started to implement it. We should pay attention to the effect of this plan.
The Czech Machine Tool Association has 44 members, of which 4 are from Slovakia and they have great influence in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Russian Machine Tool Association has more than 150 companies and has a holding company to help member factories produce in Russia and abroad. It is a representative of the Russian machine tool industry. The person in charge of Russia’s TBS plant stated that it is very interested in Chinese machine tools, and the Chinese machine tool price is reasonable, but it is necessary to solve the problem of maintenance inconvenience. It is conceivable that Russians who can speak Russian and Russians who understand Chinese are responsible for the trade of machine tools. The maintenance of Russians will eliminate the fears of Russian factories.
The 60% Poznan International Exhibition Company is state-owned (Polish Ministry of Finance) and 40% is Poznan City Government. This is a state-owned exhibition company with a government background. It has a certain influence in Poland and Eastern Europe. Forced. Grzego, Vice President of Poznan International Exhibition Company expressed that he hopes to strengthen cooperation with CMTBA. They can organize the manufacturers to exhibit in China. He also hopes that CMTBA will organize Chinese manufacturers to attend ITM exhibition in Poland, so that Polish users can understand Chinese products, and they can get good value for money. Chinese machine tools.
In Eastern Europe, the production of machine tools in these countries is incomplete and there is a lack of accessories. After a rapid development in recent years, China's machine tool industry has already reached a considerable scale. Its product categories are complete and it has a certain level of technology. In particular, the export potential of large and heavy machine tools is even greater. In addition, China's CNC systems, ball screw, cutting tools and other products, as long as the solution to good product quality and after-sales service problems, have great potential for export to these countries, Eastern Europe is one of the areas we should pay attention to. SKODA, TOSVarnsdorf, AVIA and other companies have established wholly-owned or joint ventures in China. AVIA's WAFO commerce company has already sold and sold Chinese products in Poland. Take advantage of these existing cooperation channels to gradually realize the diversification of China's machine tool market. .
