A glimpse reveals the whole leopard. In recent years, remanufactured products have become increasingly active in the market, which not only reflects the new trend of economic development, but also demonstrates that the concept of green development has become a widely recognized social consensus.

Equipping China also needs to equip the world: the rise of "Xiangtan Remanufacturing"

At present, the size of China's construction machinery equipment aftermarket has reached about 520 billion yuan, and about 36% of the industry's operating profit comes from aftermarket business. The performance of engineering machinery remanufactured products can reach 70% -90% of new machines, while the price is only 30% -40% of new machines. According to industry evaluations, the driving effect of remanufacturing exports on new machine sales can reach a ratio of 1:3. At the same time, this field has achieved remarkable results in energy conservation (over 60%), material conservation (over 70%), and carbon dioxide reduction (over 80%).

Focus on Xiangtan, Hunan. As a pillar industry in Hunan, construction machinery has been leading the country in scale for 15 consecutive years. Xiangtan is not only an important industrial base in the province, but also has the advantages of enriching scientific and educational talents and being a transportation hub, laying a unique foundation for the development of the remanufacturing industry.

Engineering machinery remanufacturing is a typical representative of new quality productivity in the manufacturing industry, and also a vast blue ocean for the high-quality development of circular economy, "said Chen Lingzhi, Deputy Director of Xiangtan Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology. In recent years, Xiangtan has seized policy opportunities, actively guided enterprises to leverage their technological and channel advantages, strengthened brand building and quality management, followed market rules, and promoted more local remanufactured products to enter domestic and international markets, achieving a win-win situation of economic and ecological benefits.

Turning waste into treasure: the path of "re intelligent manufacturing" for small and micro enterprises

In June, Hunan Yuanye Engineering Machinery Co., Ltd. located in the Central International Machinery Logistics Park of Yuetang Economic Development Zone was bustling with activity. After more than ten processes including cleaning, polishing, boring, laser welding, and precision machining, a second-hand hammer has been revitalized. This small and micro enterprise with the core of "turning waste into treasure" has grown from a small workshop with only four people to a star enterprise in the park with over a thousand square meters of standard workshops and products that are popular in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, riding the fast train of Hunan's engineering machinery remanufacturing industry.

I deeply regret witnessing equipment that was treated as scrap metal solely due to the wear and tear of key components in the past, which prompted me to explore the possibility of reusing it through technology, "said Liu Hailong, the chairman of the company. There are many practitioners who hold similar ideas.

Yang Rongbo, the person in charge of Xiangtan Central International Machinery Park, pointed out that the remanufacturing of construction machinery is like "gathering the strengths of a hundred companies", requiring exposure to various equipment and components. Enterprises in the park continue to strengthen technological innovation, enhance the "research value" of product technology, and promote the upgrading of "remanufacturing" to "re intelligent manufacturing". At present, the park has formed five major business sectors covering 4S stores, second-hand equipment remanufacturing operations, spare parts, remanufacturing production, and international trade exports, gathering over 200 engineering machinery spare parts enterprises and trading partners in more than 30 countries and regions around the world. The average annual growth rate of remanufactured equipment exports exceeds 50%.

Building an ecosystem: integrating innovation to drive high-quality development

The deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation is the key path to achieving high-quality development. In order to enhance the brand of comprehensive pilot units for the reform of engineering machinery remanufacturing in Hunan Province and promote the industry to a higher level, Xiangtan focuses on building a characteristic development pattern of "one core, two poles, and multiple points", focusing on the construction of industrial platforms, mechanism innovation, factor guarantee, and ecological optimization, accelerating the formation of a benign industrial ecology of "promoting production with trade, leading trade with industry, and integrating industry and trade".

Relying on a strong industrial foundation, a complete industrial system, and a cluster of powerful state-owned enterprises represented by Xianggang, Xiangdian, Jianglu, Jiangnan, etc., Xiangtan firmly takes the path of technological innovation, vigorously cultivates high-quality skilled talents for the new era, and accelerates the construction of a modern industrial system.

Seize the opportunity: Xiangtan is at the right time

Global experience shows that expanding the remanufacturing market is the key to success for leading construction machinery companies. Caterpillar, Komatsu and other giants consider it as an important profit growth point. In manufacturing powerhouses such as the United States and Japan, the sales of remanufactured construction machinery account for over 60% of the total market value.

For Xiangtan, which has the foundation and advantages, developing the remanufacturing industry is undoubtedly a key lever to seize the strategic, technological, and platform high ground and increase industrial strength.

For manufacturers, the cost of remanufacturing products is only 50% of that of new products, which is an important source of profit; for users, the price is about 40% -50% of that of new products, and cost-effectiveness is the key consideration. "Yang Rongbo, who has been deeply involved in the industry for many years, believes that Xiangtan combines" favorable timing, geographical location, and harmonious people ", and the development of the engineering machinery remanufacturing industry is timely.

On this occasion, the 4th China Africa Economic and Trade Expo Xiangtan Central International Machinery Park Engineering Machinery Remanufacturing Exhibition is about to open. It can be foreseen that this grand event will effectively enhance the leading and discourse power of Xiangtan, Hunan, and even China in the global field of engineering machinery remanufacturing, and shape a distinctive "Xiangtan Manufacturing" city brand.

Equipping China also equips the world! We firmly believe that in the near future, 'Xiangtan Remanufacturing' will become a proud industry card and occupy an important position in the global industrial chain.(This article is from the official website of Jian Dao www.seetao.com.
