Wafangdian Accelerates Technology Upgrade and Builds 50 Billion Bearing Industry Cluster

"Dalian News" aired on February 7, 2012: First-hand support for technological transformation of enterprises and development of public technology services. This year, Wafangdian City continues to stretch and strengthen the industry chain by accelerating technology around the bearing industry with traditional advantages. Upgrade and industrial agglomeration, and strive to achieve annual sales revenue of bearing industry clusters exceeded 50 billion yuan.

Dalian Wazhou Jinzhou Ship Machinery Co., Ltd. is currently the largest bearing ring processing enterprise in China. This bearing ring is an important link in the bearing industry chain. Its production capacity will directly affect the processing level and scale of bearing products of ZWZ Bearing Group. . Just after the Spring Festival, the company invested more than 50 million yuan to introduce 110 sets of fully automated CNC lathes to arrive one after another and begin full installation and commissioning.

Wang Li, deputy general manager of Dalian Wazhou Jinzhou Shipbuilding Machinery Co., Ltd.: “After these equipments are put into production, the commissioning investment capacity will reach 1.2 million units, and the production capacity will be doubled.”

In order to cooperate with the Wazhou Group to upgrade and upgrade the high-end automotive bearing industry, Wazhou Jinzhou Machinery Co., Ltd. also plans to invest 800 million yuan this year to build a new type of modern production line to produce high-precision bearing accessories. The site formation has been completed.

Wang Quanbin, general manager of Dalian Wazhou Jinzhou Shipbuilding Machinery Co., Ltd. said: “That is the top of the world now. There are only two lines in the world. We are the third line. To fill the gap in the domestic market, the annual output value will reach 20 billion yuan.”

Taking the Wazhou Group as a leader, Wafangdian City is actively promoting the industrial cooperation among various bearing companies, and has been vigorously developing the front-end and end-of-industry equipment manufacturing enterprises that provide equipment and markets for the bearing industry. The current investment of 1 billion yuan in large-scale thruster Huarui Heavy Industry, the investment of 3 billion yuan in the car excavator, 4.2 billion investment in machining centers and other projects are stepping up construction. In order to promote the overall upgrade of the bearing industry, Wafangdian City is also accelerating construction/ R&D design, quality inspection, training and education, and marketing/four major public service platforms.

Liu Mingdong, deputy director of the Economic Development Bureau of Wafangdian City, said: “The key development is wind turbine bearings, traffic bearings and high-tech supporting bearings. We will focus on improving the production capacity of the bearing industry and ensure that the sales revenue of the bearing industry will exceed 500 billion yuan by the end of this year.”

In the first quarter, the sales revenue of the bearing industry of Wafangdian City is expected to exceed 13 billion yuan, achieving a good start and laying a good foundation for surpassing 50 billion for the whole year.

Editor's comment: The long and strong industrial chain is a "report card"

Many heavyweight bearing projects have settled in Wafangdian, allowing us to see the charm of industrial clusters. As the competitiveness of the cluster increases, this “elemental agglomeration effect” will continue to accelerate, and a good public service platform will also help the development of industrial clusters and further promote cluster expansion and factor aggregation. The development of industrial clusters is a "subject word" for the city's economic work this year, and it is also one of the breakthrough points for struggling to win the "opener" in the first quarter. Constantly lengthening and strengthening the industrial chain, such as a "report card" for the economic development of the city, I believe that in this "report card", this year will be written into more "world-class."
