The U.S. Department of Commerce has made preliminary anti-dumping rulings on some aluminum wires and cables imported from its own country (products under tariff number 8544.49.9000 and some products under 8544.42.9090). .
So, what is the cause of the U.S. investigation of the double opposition case? How much will it affect China's aluminum wire and cable companies? How should China's aluminum cable companies respond? On June 9, the reporter from Science and Technology Daily came to Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, and interviewed the relevant person in charge and experts of Wuxi Jiangnan Cable Co., Ltd. exclusively.
At present, among the compulsory responding enterprises, Shanghai Silin Special Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd., Hebei Huatong Cable Group Co., Ltd. has a dumping rate of 63.47%, and Changfeng Cable Co., Ltd. and Wuxi Jiangnan Cable have obtained separate tax rates. The dumping rate of limited companies is 58.51%, and the general dumping rate of China is 63.47%.
Among them, Wuxi Jiangnan Cable Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiangnan Group, and is also a national key high-tech enterprise integrating production, sales and research and development of wire and cable. At present, the company has obtained over 380 national patents, forming low-voltage, medium-voltage, high-voltage, ultra-high-voltage, and ultra-high-voltage product series. It is widely used in power, petrochemical, railway, and civil aviation, and has won the most competitive power in China's cable industry. Top 10 enterprises, Top 500 Chinese manufacturing enterprises, Customs AEO advanced certification enterprises, etc.
"In recent years, with the acceleration of the internationalization of Wuxi Jiangnan Cable, especially with its strong ability to develop international markets and a good reputation in the international market, as well as strict internal control over technical quality, the application areas of overseas markets have been continuously expanded The overseas market share is also increasing rapidly year by year. "Xia Yafang, executive vice president of Jiangnan Group, said, but from the current point of view, the investigation of the dual anti-compliance case has a certain impact on us, but not much. In 2018, our entire sales share in the US market accounted for less than one thousandth of the company's total sales.
Due to the strict risk management and control system, the company has already paid attention to the application of dual anti-case filing by American companies last year, and has taken appropriate evasion measures in a timely manner. From January to May this year, the entire sales in the US market were only 53,000 US dollars. Currently, the company has no orders in the US market.
How should Chinese aluminum wire and cable companies respond? In the words of Chu Hui, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Jiangnan Group, "The development of an enterprise is inseparable from the trust of a strong motherland and its people, and the support of governments at all levels and customers, especially the trust and trust of our customers in us. Caring. I hope that our new and old customers will continue to care about and support our growth, and your support will be the biggest driving force to overcome difficulties and promote the development of the enterprise. "
Data show that at present, the major wire and cable manufacturing enterprises are concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, of which Jiangsu accounts for nearly 28%. In 2018, the total revenue of the top 100 cable industry companies was about 300 billion yuan, an increase of 25% over last year. Although China's wire and cable production and sales rank first in the world, the overall technical level is at the low and mid-end of the global industrial chain, and some of them are in the high-end. There is still a big gap compared with developed countries, especially basic research, high-end raw materials, important equipment, Manufacturing process, production management, etc.
For this reason, the U.S. Department of Commerce has made preliminary anti-dumping rulings on some aluminum wires and cables imported from China. Industry insiders have called for Chinese companies to unite as one and calmly respond to efforts to increase industry concentration, improve self-discipline capabilities, and eliminate low-end The price competition will never hit the "price civil war." By increasing investment in research and development and improving the research and development system, we must continuously enhance our comprehensive innovation capabilities and technological strength, promote the improvement of the overall technical level of the entire industry, and strive for the independent localization of high-end cable products, high-end materials and high-end process equipment. Focus on breaking through a number of core technologies to improve overall international competitiveness.
Industry insiders also proposed that the construction of intelligent workshops should be accelerated to realize the automatic operation of the entire production process, the entire process of data collection and remote diagnosis and early warning, intelligentization of the entire process from products, equipment, production, management, and integration with the Internet to eventually form intelligent manufacturing , Including smart products, smart equipment and digital, networked. Some leading companies in the industry must rely on their competitive advantages in brand, capital, scale, marketing, research and development, etc., to expand overseas marketing channels, gain greater market share and broader development space.
Chu Hui believes that the enterprises in the wire and cable industry in China are basically private enterprises. The relevant government departments should further introduce relevant supporting policies to guide enterprises to accelerate transformation and upgrading, accelerate the implementation of asset reorganization, further strengthen the confidence of enterprises to “go global”, and promote the industry as a whole. Achieve high-end brand quality through continuous innovation.
