Since the reform and opening up, after decades of exploration, China's
Stainless Steel Wire Rope industry has achieved considerable development. However, Ke Qi believes that the stainless
Steel Wire Rope industry is in a historical development stage where opportunities and challenges coexist. On the one hand, we need to see the achievements we have made in the course of decades of development; on the other hand, we also need to see the gap between us and developed countries in Europe and America.
At present, most of the domestic
Stainless Steel Wire Ropes are low-end products, and the industry is still standing still in the low-end market. It is even more regrettable that the leading enterprises of stainless steel wire rope failed to take the lead in moving forward on the road of becoming stronger and more high-end. Take several leading stainless steel wire rope companies in Dainan area as an example. During the ten years of rapid rise and growth of these companies, although each company has gone abroad and expanded overseas markets, without exception they are Open the market with a low-end and low-price attitude. What is even more disappointing is that several large enterprises that missed the most golden period of development not only failed to complete the product upgrade of stainless steel wire ropes, but also fell into the quagmire of price wars in domestic and foreign market competition.
The main gap between my country's stainless steel wire rope companies and the world's first-class steel wire rope companies lies in the wire rope production equipment and production technology. For example, steel wire ropes for truck crane lifting, luffing steel wire ropes and telescopic boom steel wire ropes, steel wire ropes for port containers, and some steel wire ropes for offshore oil and gas industries. These types of stainless steel wire ropes belong to my country's stainless steel wire rope industry. Only in this way can we catch up with the first-class European and American companies in high-end products.
In order to better promote the development of the stainless steel wire rope industry, moving towards the high-end market is not only the top priority of leading enterprises, but also their unshirkable responsibility. At present, powerful domestic steel wire rope companies have mass-produced and exported a number of high-end products through the introduction of foreign advanced production equipment and technology. It is hoped that with the promotion of these companies, more companies can actively devote themselves to technological innovation and truly make my country's High-end stainless steel wire ropes have embarked on the road of industrialization of "independence and self-reliance".
