The 1980s, the spring breeze of reform and opening up has just blown the land of Makino, the predecessor of the Cologne Group is still in the "Dongguan Street", called the "Insulation Equipment Factory", "Electric Fan Factory ", or a little-known workshop-style street factory. Although many aspects of the attempt, but has not yet found their own way of development.
Produced microfans, explored medical equipment, and even tried to make furniture. The road is long ...... this arduous exploration lasted nearly ten years ......
In 1993, borrowing the east wind of enterprise restructuring, the restructuring of the electric fan factory was included in the important reform agenda, and was listed as one of the first batch of shareholding system transformation pilot enterprises in Henan Province. On December 28th, Xinxiang Kelilong Electric Appliance Joint Stock Company was formally established. This is an important milestone in the history of the development of Cologne Group, but also a new starting point for Cologne to glory.
In 1994, Comrade Cheng Qingfeng put forward the new concept of "Kelilong Xing technology, science and technology Kelilong". Under the guidance of this concept, in accordance with the international "Montreal" and the national CFC replacement program, the company launched a comprehensive R134a that is, fluorine-free evaporator, condenser research and application. At the same time, the central laboratory with international advanced level was built and put into use, which provides the most favorable conditions for the research, development and testing of the two devices.
In 1995, the fluorine-free and high-efficiency two devices for refrigerators and freezers produced by Cologne Company passed the state-level signing exclusively in China. In 1996, the investment of 60 million yuan of the two ware technical transformation project included in the national "Ninth Five-Year Plan". 1997, the company in the industry, the first to pass the ISO9001 quality assurance system certification, this certification marks the company's overall enterprise management and quality management have crossed a new level. This certification signifies that the company's overall enterprise management and quality management have crossed a new stage.
Technological progress has brought products with high technical content, superior performance and high customer satisfaction. In addition to the products in the new Fei settled down, and among the ranks of Haier, KeLong, MeLing, RongShiDa and other big names, and, a drum, and fly across the border, into the Electrolux, Samsung, Sanyo, Panasonic, XinBao, France, Blanc, the United States of America, the United States of America, general electric appliances, Israel, Elite, Italy, St. Niederburgh and other first-class international team.
By the end of 2000, Cologne has initially realized the change from small to big, from weak to strong, from low content of science and technology to high-tech. Sales revenue exceeded the hundred million mark, reaching 110 million yuan. Product production capacity has exceeded 8 million units of capacity, becoming the largest domestic and global leading enterprises. Realized the first leap in the development of Cologne Group.
In this stage of development, Cheng Qingfeng, chairman and general manager of the proposed "high-tech, high starting point, large scientific research, large market" development strategy has been gradually reflected. At the same time, the enterprise also formed a preliminary value concept with certain characteristics. "Unity, dedication, hard work, high efficiency," the spirit of enterprise has become the Cologne staff value standards. "Customer satisfaction is the only pursuit of the Cologne people," the market concept by the majority of workers as the motto of the work. "Do not listen to you, do not see you do, only look at the results" of the cadres assessment standards are widely recognized. "Cologne rely on my development, I rely on Cologne life." Employee ownership concept is y rooted in people's hearts. Enterprise management model also continues to innovate, such as "548" production management model, "108" quality control management model, the last elimination system, management system system, on-site management in the "double push "management mode and so on, and constantly improve, and play a great role in the management process, the initial formation of the characteristics of Cologne's corporate culture.
"A good enterprise must stand in the global perspective to observe the market and develop strategies." "We can not be presumptuous, the idea must be liberalized, to establish the concept of internationalization." This is the request made by Comrade Cheng Qingfeng, chairman and general manager, to all senior management cadres at the company office meeting in 2001. At the same time, it was proposed that "we should continue to increase investment in technological reform, make the scale (of the two machines) bigger again, increase the automation degree again, improve the competitiveness again, and consolidate the first place advantage of market share." In order to ensure the effective implementation of the company's overall strategy. He also clearly put forward the "four unity" management mode, namely: unified thinking, unified understanding, unified plan, unified implementation of the management mode, and clearly pointed out that this model can not change within five years. Under the guidance of the above ideas, the Cologne people spiritedly into a new stage of development.
"Without talent, Cologne can not develop. Talent is the driving force of the company's development." Comrade Cheng Qingfeng often remind everyone this way. From 2001, the introduction of talent and selection of talent is unprecedented. Introduced from universities and colleges, dug from state-owned enterprises, recruited from the community. Various channels to attract talents such as joining hands with scientific research institutes and colleges and universities. The introduction of talents laid a good foundation for large-scale technological transformation and technological progress. Diversification of industry is soon realized.
In 2001, after five years of investigation and demonstration of the project - high-performance spherical nickel hydroxide project was formally launched, and was included in the national "863" key support program projects. In December of that year, the product was successfully tested and industrialized. The quality of the product soon improved steadily and reached the international advanced level, and in 2002, it was listed in the national "Double High and One Excellent" program.
High-performance spherical nickel hydroxide (ball nickel) is the core material for manufacturing high-efficiency and high-capacity nickel-metal hydride batteries, and the advantages and disadvantages of the ball nickel determine the quality of nickel-metal hydride batteries produced. Without good spherical nickel, there is no good nickel-metal hydride battery.
At present, the battery (battery) industry is facing a major change, the vast majority of "traditional batteries" because they do not meet the environmental requirements will be eliminated, such as nickel-cadmium batteries and so on. For example, the European Union, from January 1, 2005, the import of nickel-cadmium batteries to impose environmental taxes to limit the use of non-environmentally friendly batteries.
At the same time, due to the development of various aspects, the social demand for batteries is increasing day by day. As a result, a "new wave" of new, environmentally friendly batteries to replace traditional batteries is rapidly unfolding around the world.
In the nickel-metal hydride battery series, the market demand is really high-performance, high-capacity products, and the manufacture of such high-performance batteries must be the core material "high-performance nickel spheres" quality as a guarantee. The product of Cologne company is this kind of high performance ball nickel.
Colon's high-performance nickel pellets broke the nickel-hydrogen battery materials rely on imports for a long time, was recognized by the China Power Industry Association as a "substitute for imports" products, not only for the domestic manufacturers of many famous brands of batteries as the first choice, but also a large number of exports, the product demand exceeds supply.
In 2002, Cologne's high-performance ball nickel first nickel-metal hydride battery capacity from the original AA1300mAh to AA2400mAh, the world's nickel-metal hydride batteries to raise the grade of a level, caused a strong shock in the global industry. By the end of 2003, many foreign ball nickel manufacturers in China under the impact of Cologne has completely withdrawn from the Chinese market, Cologne's products have begun to lead the world's nickel-hydrogen battery manufacturing new direction.
In the domestic, Cologne has occupied the high-end nickel-hydrogen battery ball nickel materials supporting the share of the monopoly; in foreign countries, Japan's Sanyo, Panasonic and other big-name manufacturers, as well as South Korea, Russia's manufacturers have begun to use the Cologne company's high-performance ball nickel.
We can not help but look back a little, before 2000, the domestic production of nickel-hydrogen batteries require high-performance spherical nickel all rely on imports, the domestic market is Japan Tanaka, Kansai, Sumitomo and the United States OMG monopoly. At that time, each ton of high-performance ball nickel selling price of up to 20 ~ 25 million yuan, and need to use foreign exchange to buy, but also three months in advance (or half a year) in advance, the supply is also very untimely.
Only two or three years later, Cologne's high-performance ball nickel will completely break this situation, excellent quality and reasonable cost-effective immediately make many manufacturers have to use the Cologne company's products and greatly reduce other materials manufacturers ball nickel purchases. 2003 the end of the U.S. OMG, Japan's Kansai, the Pacific Ocean and other completely withdrew from the Chinese market, the production of Tanaka is also greatly reduced. The market form has undergone a fundamental shift.
In 2004, Xinfei Group invested 20 million yuan in the project and formed Xinfei-Colon Power Supply Co. For the product further take-off laid a more solid foundation. Also realized the second leap in the development of Cologne Group.
Also at the end of 2001, Comrade Cheng Qingfeng stared at the new air cushion belt conveyor project. This is a kind of air cushion ship, air cushion car working principle skillfully transplanted to the conveyor (conveyor belt) on the new products. Conveyor is widely used in mining, ports, electric power, cement, petrochemical, metallurgy, food and other sectors of the national economy, is currently the main loading and unloading, transfer equipment. With the development of society, the requirements for conveying operations are getting higher and higher. For example, ocean-going freighters have to pay about hundreds of thousands of dollars more in rent for every extra hour they stay in the deep-water wharf. Thus, how to speed up the conveyor speed, improve the efficiency of loading and unloading has become a major issue in the conveyor industry.
The traditional roller belt conveyor (commonly known as conveyor belt) friction, wear and tear, serious noise pollution, short life, low conveying efficiency, single conveyor capacity is small, heavy load can not start ... ...
The air conveyor belt (commonly known as conveyor belt) has been widely used in the industry, and has become a serious obstacle to improve the efficiency of the operation.
The air cushion belt conveyor adopts high-tech patented technology to make the conveyor belt by air pressure principle and the base support box body micro-distance up, change direct hard friction for the suspension of indirect soft friction, thus greatly reducing the coefficient of friction, reducing all kinds of resistance, so that the large tonnage, heavy load start-up has become a reality, so that the performance of the conveyor has undergone a fundamental change.
The air cushion conveyor has the advantages of large tonnage, strong conveying capacity, good heavy-duty starting characteristics, reliable performance, significant energy-saving effect, weak friction, long service life, low noise pollution and low maintenance costs, etc., which not only greatly improves the transmission speed and conveying efficiency, but also meets the high standards of environmental protection and energy saving requirements, and it is the best choice of modernized freight transportation equipment for large-tonnage transfer, large-tonnage loading and unloading operations. It is the best equipment choice for modernized freight large tonnage transfer, large tonnage loading and unloading operation. It is the updated product of traditional roller conveyor.
After inspection and demonstration, Comrade Cheng Qingfeng made a decisive decision to clap the board and embarked on the project without hesitation. First rented factory, the development zone of Cologne high-tech industrial park was completed, and then relocated to the new site. After the relocation of the production conditions greatly improved, the production capacity increased rapidly. 2002 the end of Jiaozuo Wanfang Aluminum Company made the first air cushion conveyor production line in the company's successful installation and commissioning.
The new air cushion conveyor is also a new product, the product just put on the market will cause a sensation, the degree of popularity far beyond the original expectations. Currently negotiating orders from users all over the country, the market situation is very hot!
In June 2003, in response to the call of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, in the municipal party committee secretary Lian and the municipal government, under the personal attention of mayor Wu, a long-term loss of state-owned enterprises - Xinxiang Petrochemical Machinery Factory in the form of leasing to the Cologne company. The company injected 5 million funds, and the introduction of Cologne's management mechanism, only sent two people, in six months time to turn losses into profits. The successful operation of this state-owned enterprise reform model provides a model for state-owned enterprise reform.
The scale of two ware for refrigerators (cabinets) continued to expand, and the competitiveness was greatly improved
October 2001, the production line with an annual output of 3.6 million blowing units was completed and put into operation.
At the end of 2002, the air-conditioner evaporator and condenser production line with an investment of more than 10 million yuan was put into production. in February 2003, another production line of the same scale was built.
In terms of new product development, Cologne has shown great strength. New products come out in an endless stream. Technical staff in accordance with Comrade Cheng Qingfeng "new products must be fine"; "Institute of new products can not say 'no'" requirements, close communication with the market. 2003 November, just one month, the Cologne company has been the first to develop new products. In November, 2003, just one month time, Cologne for Haier developed more than 100 kinds of products. The world's refrigerator (cabinet) with evaporator, condenser, there is nothing we can not do. Users want what kind of products, we can develop what kind of products.
In order to further close to the market, close to the user, from 2001, in less than two years, Qingdao Fenglong Electrical Appliances Company Limited was built in Qingdao High-tech Development Zone. The company's completion of the Cologne company and Haier, Aucma and other customers of the market distance to zero distance, in 2004 the company's sales revenue will reach 130 million yuan. And then Chuzhou Cologne Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Zhongshan Kedron Refrigeration Co., Ltd. have also been put into production. Haier, Aucma satisfied, Guangdong Kelong happy, Siemens leaders smiled.
In 2001, in order to cope with the fierce competition in the two markets, reduce costs, grab the market, increase efficiency, in September to start the precision copper-plated steel tube project. put into production in December, the product partially meets the self-need. After that, we launched 2 single and double copper-plated steel tube production lines, and the annual production capacity reached 8000 tons. The annual production capacity reached 8000 tons, and in 2004, we launched the hot-dip galvanized precision steel pipe production line. In addition to self-sufficiency, the products also go to the market.
Specifically, on December 26, 2003, the annual output of 3.6 million sets of silk tube evaporator production line in the City Development Zone, Cologne High-tech Park was completed, marking the Cologne has really become the world's largest and most powerful refrigerator (cabinet) with evaporator, condenser development, production base.
December 28, 2003, the company held an unprecedented scale of celebration. Friends from all over the country gathered in Cologne high-tech industrial park, the General Assembly opened a very successful.
Over the past few years, "Cologne" Group's sales revenue per year to 35-50% of the rate of steady growth, far ahead of other competitors in the industry. Cologne Group stepped into a more prosperous and developed a new stage.
