A few days ago, the 1000th superconducting magnet of the GE Medical Tianjin production base was officially launched. The high-end 3.0T magnetic resonance production line settled in 2018 also achieved the mass production of the first equipment and sent it to Japan. In 2019, China's superconducting magnetic resonance market scale is about 1500 units, and the equipment delivered by GE Medical Tianjin Base occupies about 15% of the share, and has become my country's largest magnetic resonance equipment production base.
After the GE Tianjin Magnetic Resonance Production Base was settled in the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone in 2014, the production capacity of magnets has made great strides with an average annual increase of more than 70%. By 2019, the production capacity will be ten times more than five years. What is the "pushing hand" behind these numbers? In the words of Chen Yipeng, general manager of GE Medical Tianjin Magnetic Resonance Production Base, these milestone achievements not only exercised the team, but also made the Tianjin factory mature. This excellent soil in Tianjin has given us such a development opportunity. "Tianjin has good educational resources and port resources. More than 90% of our factory's team are local talents trained in Tianjin. At the same time, it also attracts a lot of Tianjin talents from other places to return." Chen Yipeng said, "We have settled down for 6 years. It has received strong support from government departments in terms of talent settlement and modern manufacturing technology, which can enable the world's leading technology applications to be quickly implemented and innovative in the Tianjin factory. The leading plant in the United States all sent three experts to the Tianjin factory last year. "
The development of an enterprise is like life, and it has never been smooth. With the increase in production capacity and the significant increase in market demand, the GE Medical Tianjin production base started product export business in 2018, but the export of superconducting magnets has no domestic precedent. "At that time, this field was blank in China. If we rely on our own companies to advance, it will be even more difficult. Moreover, the business opportunities in the international market are fleeting. If we lose orders, we may lose our future." Chen Yipeng recalled, "It was right now. In this meeting room, Tianjin has set up a working group specifically for us. The heads of more than a dozen departments such as customs, maritime, and port have concentrated on-site office several times, helping us find a way to formulate transportation standards and export processes, and finally let the Tianjin factory produce Equipment successfully went abroad and sold overseas."
At present, the sales and export ratio of GE Medical's Tianjin production base has exceeded 10%. It is precisely because of this that GE Medical has strengthened its determination to take root in Tianjin and continue to increase capital and expand production. Chen Yipeng told reporters: "After the outbreak, the bonded area management committee actively helped us to do the prevention and control of the epidemic and resume production and production, so that the factory can produce X-ray machines and other medical equipment to Hubei in time. My biggest feeling in these years is Tianjin The concept of the municipal government department is very good, which can help enterprises to provide great help in dealing with various uncertainties. Next, the Tianjin base will have the production capacity of a full range of magnetic resonance equipment, and drive more suppliers to really do To base on China and face the world."
