The largest SMT peripheral equipment manufacturers

Entering the 21st century, China's electronic information products manufacturing industry has accelerated the pace of development, each year at a rate of more than 20% of the rapid growth of the national economy as a pillar industry, the overall scale for three consecutive years in the world's second place. With the rapid development of China's electronics manufacturing industry, China's SMT technology and industry is also synchronized with the rapid development of the overall scale of the world. The first stage (1960-1975): miniaturization, hybrid integrated circuits & lt; calculators, quartz watches & gt; the second stage (1976-1980): reduce the size, enhance the function of the circuit & lt; camcorders, video recorders, digital cameras & gt; the third stage (1980) -1995): reduce costs, vigorously develop production equipment, improve product cost-effective & lt; ultra-large-scale integrated circuits & gt; the current stage (1995-present): micro-assembly, high-density assembly, three-dimensional assembly technology status: According to foreign data reports, into the 1990s, the world's electronic products using through-hole assembly technology is growing at an annual rate of 1.2%, the number of through-hole assembly technology is growing at an annual rate of 1.2%. Technology of electronic products is declining at a rate of ll% per year, while the use of SMT electronic products is increasing at a rate of 8%. So far, Japan, the United States and other countries have more than 80% of the electronic products using SMT. SMT / EMS industry tripod China's SMT / EMS industry is mainly concentrated in the eastern coastal areas, including Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong, Tianjin, Beijing, and Liaoning and other provinces and cities of the total amount of SMT / EMS accounted for more than 80% of the country. By region, the Pearl River Delta and its surrounding areas are the strongest, followed by the Yangtze River Delta region, and the Bohai Sea region is the third. The total amount of SMT/EMS in the Bohai Rim region has a big gap compared with the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta, but it has a huge growth potential and stronger development momentum. For example, a foreign-funded company in Beijing purchased mounter machines in 2005 totaling 15 million U.S. dollars. State authorities announced that the Binhai New Area in Tianjin, following Shenzhen, Shanghai Pudong will become the third pole of China's economic growth. In the near future, China's SMT / EMS industry will inevitably form the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, Bohai Rim region of the three-legged trend. China's SMT / EMS industry has such a good situation, mainly because the Chinese government departments attach great importance to the development of electronic information products manufacturing industry, the formulation of a good development policy, the introduction of policies. The world's electronic information products manufacturing developed countries and regions such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, Europe and China's Taiwan, the electronics manufacturing industry to the Chinese mainland is an important factor in the transfer. In the SMT / EMS field ranked among the world's top 10 companies, for example, like FOXCONN, FLEXTRONICS, SOLECTRON and a number of companies have entered the Chinese mainland to set up factories. Among them to Foxconn (FOXCONN) company is the most successful, its in Shenzhen, Suzhou, Beijing, Tianjin, Yantai and other places have built a very large factories, employing tens of thousands of people. From the international environment, although India, Vietnam, Eastern Europe, SMT / EMS industry will develop, but the near future will not be a great threat to the status of the world's electronics manufacturing power. In short, the next few years China is still the world's largest SMT / EMS market. Five major factors restricting the development of SMT / EMS Although China's SMT / EMS industry has made rapid progress in the development of the objective point of view there are still a lot of problems, mainly reflected in the following aspects. First, small scale. China's mainland SMT / EMS enterprises and foreign and similar enterprises in Hong Kong and Taiwan compared to the small size, the vast majority of small and medium-sized enterprises. According to a famous international research organization announced in 2004 the world's largest 100 EMS companies survey information, no one in mainland China SMT / EMS enterprises. The United States accounted for more than half of China, Taiwan and Hong Kong have seven finalists. On the contrary, the largest SMT/EMS enterprises in mainland China have sales of only a few hundred million RMB, and most of them have only a few million to a few tens of millions of RMB. SMT / EMS enterprises in mainland China, each enterprise's production line at most 20 to 30 or so, most companies have only a few, or even one or two. While foreign and China's Hong Kong and Taiwan enterprises SMT production lines from dozens to hundreds of many. Second, the level of technical content is not high. Most of China's mainland SMT / EMS enterprises, due to the lack of high-level technical personnel and management personnel, the products processed are mostly low-end products, mostly general consumer products, mainly rely on labor capital to make money, rather than relying on intellectual capital. Take the production of cell phones in Beijing as an example, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Information Industry, Beijing produced 89,494,000 cell phones in 2005, and the vast majority of their motherboards were produced by Nokia, Sony Ericsson and their OEM factories, Acutech and Foxconn. Dozens of SMT/EMS enterprises in Beijing basically process low-end and low value-added products. Third, the ability is not comprehensive. In the statistics of 50 global EMS enterprises, the capabilities are categorized into front-end (design), manufacturing and assembly; and back-end after-sales service. Among them, most enterprises have all the above mentioned capabilities. Most of the SMT/EMS enterprises in mainland China only have placement capabilities, and lack design, testing and first-class logistics and supply chain capabilities. Fourth, lack of teamwork and industry self-discipline. Mainland China SMT/EMS enterprises are in a weak position compared to their foreign and Hong Kong/Taiwan counterparts. But even so, the mainland SMT / EMS enterprises are not willing to play the spirit of solidarity and cooperation, the implementation of industry self-discipline, unanimity, and mutual price pressure, each other down, even below the reasonable cost of the order to combat each other, engage in unfair competition. The result is that we can not earn money, into a vicious circle. Fifth, the relevant government departments do not have enough support. Government departments strongly support independent innovation, the development of independent intellectual property rights of technology and product policy is right, but must not ignore the development of manufacturing technology. Now a lot of scientific research results can only stay in the sample trial stage, can not form a product, the root cause of commercialization is the manufacturing technology is not pass. China is a big country in the manufacture of electronic products, but not a strong country in the manufacture of electronic products. Take cell phones as an example, China's cell phone production world's first, but the quality of domestic cell phone manufacturing is generally lower than the quality of manufacturing of well-known foreign brands of cell phones is an indisputable fact. the gap between the level of SMT is an important reason, and even some officials in charge of science and technology know nothing about the SMT / EMS, do not think that the SMT technology is high-tech, and therefore it is difficult to get as high-tech enterprises can get the policy and funding support. Support. SMT technology introduction into a stable period in 2004-2005 China for two consecutive years the introduction of nearly 9,000 units, accounting for more than 40% of the global output of the same period of mounter. From 2004-2005 China **** the introduction of more than 35,400 sets of mounter, plus the last century's holdings, the country's existing mounter holdings should be about 40,000 units. 80% of them are bought in the past 5 years, and it is impossible to update a large number of them in the short term. Therefore, it is expected that the introduction of mounter in 2006 is unlikely to grow significantly, the introduction of the total amount of basically maintained at the level of 2004-2005. As the leading equipment of SMT production line, the annual purchasing volume of printing machine should be between 4,500 units -5,000 units, of which 80% are purchasing imported products. As the SMT production line back-channel equipment reflow soldering machine, it is expected that the procurement volume in 2006 will be higher than in 2005, is expected to be in the 6,000 units -7,000 units or so. The main reason is that, from July 1, 2006 the European Union began to implement the RoHS Directive and from March 1, 2007, seven state ministries and commissions promulgated the "electronic information products pollution control measures" will come into force, in the reflow furnace to increase the total number of purchases, a large portion of the procurement of lead-free reflow soldering furnace to replace the old type of reflow furnace. In short, the introduction of China's SMT technology has entered a period of steady development. Related Links China Technology SMT Development History China's electronic scientists from the late 1970s and early 1980s began to track the development of foreign STM technology, and the application of SMT technology on a small scale. The earliest large-scale introduction of SMT production line in China started in the early and mid-1980s. The background is that China's color TV industry began to introduce technology. For its supporting color TV tuner, such as Panasonic color TV tuner from A-type to B-type electronic tuner, and the new tuner using a large number of chip components. Under the guidance of the planned economy at that time, domestic color TV tuner factories began to introduce SMT production lines, and the models introduced were Panasonic, Sanyo, TESCON, TDK and so on. The introduction of China's VCR production line in the early and mid-1990s set off another SMT introduction climax. Panasonic VCR, for example, from L15 began to use a large number of chip components. During this period, Dalian Huaru, Beijing Television Equipment Factory, Shanghai Recording Equipment Factory, Nanjing 714 Factory, Xiaxin and a number of VCR manufacturers began to introduce SMT production lines. According to the statistics of a foreign research organization, by the end of 1997, China's ownership of the mounter for 3700 units, the total number of SMT production lines for the 1500 - 2000. Since entering the 21st century, the pace of SMT introduction in China has been greatly accelerated. China Customs announced the introduction of mounter data began in 2000, the year announced the introduction of mounter annual amount of 1,370 units, after the average annual growth rate of more than 50%, the introduction of mounter in 2005 amounted to 8,992 units, China's mounter retention of more than 30,000 units, SMT production lines in 15,000 or so. China has become the world's largest and most important SMT market.
