Hardware industry after 30 years of reform and opening up, showing a rapid development momentum, companies began to change as to private ownership-based, where the enterprise began to Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Shandong and other early development of the market economy regional focus, the government began to realize that these areas are conducive to the development of special industries to increase government revenue, is conducive to optimizing the industrial structure is conducive to the employment of local residents and increase revenue, help the healthy development of the regional economy, and thus spend big efforts to build industrial base.

According to "China's hardware industry characteristics of the regional title of management" (revised) naming ways to divide: the existing Chinese hardware products are three, namely: China locks (Wenzhou), the valves are China (Yuhuan), button Capital of China (bridge); there is China's hardware industry base eight, namely: China industrial base metal products (Xiaolan), China (outlet) faucet production base, China's stainless steel production base (new), China (Wenzhou ) metal lighter manufacturing base, China (Wenzhou) razor production base, the China National Hardware (Yuyao) production base, production base in China's export tool (Jinhua), China's industrial base screen (Ping); with Chinese hardware village (town) 3, namely: Chinese zipper town (bridge), Chinese hometown of hardware (Yong Kang), the China Hardware town (Daxin Town). According to Die Network CEO Luo Baihui survey found the following major issues China metal stamping parts industry:

A low degree of specialization, not form scale, economic efficiency

Metal stamping parts, compared with the host, the establishment of the initial capital and technology required for a relatively small investment, the country has experienced several economic development period, a number of private enterprises development springing up, but the market demand points, small volume, shape not economies of scale. Most hardware manufacturers themselves or large and small and complete, low degree of specialization, the equipment level is not high, unstable quality, low cost. Such as micro-motor of the motor industry total of three large enterprise with an annual output of less than 50% foreign, a well-known company. The past two years, thousands of local region into stamping factory, but with an annual output more than 300,000 only a few, the main products for agricultural support. Germany Rexroth company produces a variety of stamping products 1.3 million, Japan Yuken (strain) is also an annual 600,000 or more. Industrial countries die enterprises per capita GDP of about $ 15 million to 20 million and China is only 40,000 ~ 50,000 yuan. Luo Hui pointed out that in recent years, along with a variety of ownership and common development policy implementation, hardware industry is experiencing a gradual spread set by intensive development process.

Second, insufficient capital investment, research and development is weak

Hardware industry late 1970s and early 80s to early introduction of a number of foreign advanced technology, but the lack of adequate absorption of hardware and software investment. According to foreign experience, technology and the digestion and absorption of the funds required ratio is about 1: 7, and our understanding of this late, slow pace of digestion and absorption. Competition in the market is actually technical strength contest. Abroad are extremely seriously, have increased investment, occupy high ground. Large well-known companies for research and development funds account for its sales 4% to 5% up to 10% key areas. Although there are a lot of colleges and universities currently engaged in research work, a lot of theoretical research, scientific research, patents, papers have fairly high level, but combined with the actual production is not tight, especially slow into commercial products.

Third, raw materials and related technology behind

Because fasteners, chains, springs, bearings, molds, and other products used by the poor quality of domestic steel, different specifications less direct impact on product quality stampings. Machine parts are generally batch, mass production, and there are many varieties, high precision machining products, and therefore the production process and equipment requirements, large investments. Foreign multi-use efficiency and precision plane, production line or soft line for efficient automated production. However, some basic pieces of business by financial constraints, little investment, corporate self-transformation ability, less advanced equipment not matching, affecting the quality of products and quality.
