Analysis: Three Paths to Accelerate Transformation and Upgrading of Old Bearing Enterprises in Kunshan

Since the financial crisis, Kunshan has successively issued seven preferential policies such as "Several Opinions on Promoting Enterprise Development" and "Several Opinions on Promoting Enterprises to be Big and Strong" to help domestic and foreign-funded enterprises accelerate their transformation and upgrading. Driven by the policy, a group of old enterprises that have been rooting in Kunshan for more than 10 years or even more than 20 years, cleverly borrowed “Dongfeng” and continued to reap new joys in transformation and upgrading! Old trees opened up new flowers, and a group of old companies became “little giants”. Enterprises, they not only achieved greater development space in the financial crisis, but also become a sample of Kunshan enterprise transformation and upgrading, and become the best specification of Kunshan investment environment.

Separation of service industry two-thirds production of interactive regional headquarters

In the first half of this year, the headquarters of Huaqiao International Business City continued to grow in size, with headquarters of three head offices with headquarters of more than 1 billion yuan in the head office of NSK, and two more than 500 million yuan in size for the headquarters of Hussein Business, and 77 new sales companies... The development of the business city headquarters economy has benefited greatly from Kunshan's strong manufacturing base.

NSK, a world top 500 company, was established in 1916 and is the first manufacturer in Japan to design and manufacture bearings. In 1995, NSK set up a factory in Kunshan Development Zone, which mainly manufactures ball bearings for motors. Due to the need of production, in December 2003, NSK set up a technical department in the Kunshan factory to carry out technical assistance such as ball bearing evaluation experiments.

With the continuous development of the Chinese market, NSK will hope to do a better job in product basic research and technical support in the future to meet China's unique market needs. Therefore, NSK has separated the Chinese Ministry of Technology and set up an independent legal entity R&D company, and has become the first benchmarking company to enter the Huaqiao Business City headquarters campus. In an interview with reporters, NSK’s China Representative’s Hall V said that NSK has formed a corporate headquarters integrating R&D, sales and capital operations, and will build a world-class R&D center with 300 senior talents. It is estimated that the output will be 5 billion yuan in 2011 and 7 billion yuan in 2012.

Like NSK, in the 1990s, the “old generation” companies such as the Giants and Jianye Group, which settled in Kunshan, also have headquarters offices in China such as the headquarters to “build a nest” business city. Separating the service sectors of manufacturing companies and setting up sales companies and regional headquarters have become another important path for the transformation and upgrading of old enterprises in Kunshan.

In-depth interpretation: In recent years, Kunshan has fully grasped the trend of “service-oriented” manufacturing, and actively encouraged manufacturing companies to separate the service chain of R&D, raw material procurement, and design, as well as downstream brand management, sales, and logistics. It has lengthened the rough industrial chain and retained the profits from the production cycle. Currently, a number of service companies have been separated from the manufacturing industry, and a number of service functions have been extended on the basis of industrial enterprises. The interactive development of secondary and tertiary industries has not only promoted the transformation and upgrading of old enterprises, but also brought service industry development to Kunshan. Advantageous opportunity.
