The mention of home appliances or electronics companies concentrated in the region, people often look to Guangdong or Shandong Qingdao. Indeed, since the reform and opening up, these areas have gradually gathered a considerable number of home appliances and electronics enterprises, but also produced a number of well-known domestic enterprises and brand-name products, forming a certain scale of industrial clusters, the entire industry and local economic development have had an important impact. The annual Shunde Home Appliance Expo and the Qingdao International Electronic Consumer Exhibition have made these areas even more famous.
Compared with this, is located in the "Yangtze River Delta" at the end of Nanjing, in the field of home appliances and electronic information industry visibility seems to be more like the city's streets on the sycamore, although it is already a shade of green, but do not compete with the flowers. Mention of South Korea's LG, Japan's Sharp, the United States of America's A-O Smith and Europe's Bosch, Siemens, Philips ...... which is not a globally renowned multinational corporations and brands, and now they have settled in the Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone, Nanjing, Nanjing, electronic information industry and home appliance industry's leading enterprises. The reporter learned from the Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee, only in this area, there are 17 of the world's top 500 investment in electronic information enterprises, investment of more than 10 million U.S. dollars in 53 enterprises. By June this year, there are 307 electronic information enterprises in the zone, with a total investment of 16.24 billion yuan.
Why have multinational companies come to Nanjing to invest in the establishment of home appliances and electronic enterprises? Why has an industrial cluster been formed in Nanjing? Let's approach Nanjing and open the question mark.
The family has a wutong tree to attract the phoenix
According to the Nanjing Investment Service Center, Gao Xiang, deputy director of the Nanjing Investment Service Center, Nanjing **** there are three development zones, the Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone for the national development zones, the electronic information industry has become a pillar of the development zones and characteristics of the industry, the multinationals invested in household appliances and electronic information industry, most of the settlements in this.
Gao Xiang, deputy director, said the multinational companies in the investment before building factories, are after a multi-faceted investigation, comparison and scientific proof. They come to Nanjing to invest is mainly optimistic about Nanjing's talent resources and the original industrial base. Nanjing's talent advantage is very prominent, there are 48 colleges and universities, as well as numerous research institutes, which is rare in the country in addition to Beijing, Shanghai and overseas. Nanjing's talent flow is relatively stable compared to some big cities, and for enterprises, is hoping so. Electronic industry in the planned economy era was Nanjing's advantageous industries, where there have been Panda, Bat, Yuhuan, Bole, Qingsong and other well-known brands of home appliances, as well as a large number of electronic factories, there are a large number of excellent skilled workers, coupled with Nanjing's location advantages, making foreign companies that the most information home appliances here have the advantage of investment in the category of products.
It is understood that after more than 10 years of gathering development, electronic information industry has become the main pillar industry of Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone, last year, industrial output value accounted for more than 80% of the total industrial output value of the region, accounting for more than 70% of the total industrial output value of the electronic information industry in Nanjing. Development Zone, concentrated Sharp, Hitachi, Fujitsu, LG Electronics, LG Philips, LG Chemistry, Bossi, Flextronics, Philips, Seth, Huaxin Group, Hanyu color crystal, Elysium, Panda Group, Zijin Group, Huadian Group, Hongtu Sanko, Xinhua Sea and a large number of well-known domestic and foreign electronic information enterprises, the formation of a flat-panel display devices as the representative of the computer-based products, communication products, It has formed a production base for computer products, communication products and information home appliance products represented by flat panel display devices. Due to its remarkable performance, the development zone was awarded the title of "Jiangsu Electronic Information Industry Base" by the provincial government in September last year, and in May this year, the Ministry of Information Industry awarded the title of "National (Nanjing) Display Parts Industrial Park", which has become one of the first batch of electronic information industrial parks in China.
Leading enterprises to drive the industrial effect
In the interview, we learned that the flat panel display device industry has become the park's characteristics and advantages of the industry, by the end of 2004, the park has more than 60 flat panel display device R & D, production enterprises, with a total investment of more than 1.6 billion U.S. dollars, and last year's output value of 35.189 billion yuan. Among them, liquid crystal display and TV series products have formed a more complete industrial chain from components to end products. Plasma has formed PDP module, PDP TV series products, the technical level of the world's leading position.
Economic competition is actually manifested as industrial competition, and industrial competition depends on the leading enterprises, and ultimately form the competitiveness of the region, the industrial chain is also formed around the core enterprises. The formation of industrial clusters in development zones is a typical example.
LG Tongchuang is the earliest joint venture to enter the development zone, established in 1997 as a joint venture between Korea's LG Co. and Nanjing Tongchuang Information Industry Group, which is mainly engaged in the design, production, and sales of CRT and LCD displays and parts.
LG Tongchuang received strong support from the government in the early investment and development, and the success of LG Tongchuang laid a good foundation for Luckin Philips, which was later introduced in the competition and became one of the leading enterprises in the flat panel display industry in the development zone. With LG Philips settled in the development zone, not only attracted dozens of enterprises for the production of flat-panel display parts supporting the successive settlement in the development zone, but also led to a number of Korean-funded enterprises to invest in the zone. At present, LG has formed a processing and supporting system in the development zone, reducing the cost of enterprises and enhancing competitiveness.LG Tongchuang produced 5.66 million units of monitors and TVs last year***, with a sales revenue of 8 billion yuan.
At the same time, A.O Smith, Bossi and other white goods enterprises have also accelerated the pace of investment and development in the past two years, so that the development zone has gradually formed a full range of white goods and black goods consumer electronics industry base.
Research and development to drive industrial upgrading
Through the interview, we also learned that multinational companies not only invested in the development zone to build factories, there are also a number of companies invested in the establishment of research and development centers, which for the technological progress of the electronic information industry and sustained development has provided a strong impetus. By the end of 2004, there are three national R&D centers and technology centers in the park, including Flat Panel Display Engineering and Technology Research Center of Nanjing National Display Electronics Co. There are also LG Tongchuang R & D center, Flextronics cell phone technology R & D center, Philips Magnetic Materials Center, Nanjing Sharp R & D center, Huari-LCD Technology Central Research Institute and other five investment of more than $ 10 million in the R & D center of foreign enterprises. In March this year, A.O Smith also established the world's largest R & D center here.
R&D is the core to support the development of enterprises and products, the introduction of R&D means that the upper reaches of the industry moved to China, which is of great significance to the technological upgrading of China's industry as a whole and the adjustment of product structure. Comrades from the development zone believe that the disappearance of some of the old home appliance brands in Nanjing shows that the lack of technological core of the product is eliminated, replaced by new technologies to bring product adjustment and industrial upgrading, which is a boost to the development of China's home appliance industry.
It is reported that, at present, the development zone of the electronic information industry supporting environment has been formed, the next step, in accordance with the "strong existing, upstream, expand the terminal" idea, they will, on the one hand, as soon as possible, such as the introduction of the glass substrate, liquid crystal, color filters, IC design encapsulation and other modules front-end high-tech projects, on the other hand, to continue to vigorously introduce terminal product projects in the development zone. On the other hand, they will continue to vigorously introduce end-products projects for processing and production in the development zone. It is hoped that after several years of efforts to make the park to form TFT-LCD from raw materials to finished products integration of the complete industrial chain, and strive to create a world-class flat panel display device production base, and ultimately occupy 10% of the international market share; strive to introduce at least two major projects each year, and strive to 2010 *** the introduction of multinational R & D centers 5, declared the national scientific and technological achievements of 10, and build Electronic information post-doctoral mobile station 4; strive to electronic information industry output scale average annual growth rate of 20% or more.
