First, the current status of metal container Packaging:
There are many kinds of Metal Packaging products, and the specifications are complex. The main products include aluminum two-piece cans, Tinplate three-piece beverage cans, food cans, aerosol cans, 1-20 liters of chemical barrels, various types of bottle caps, and easy-to-open lids. Variety of miscellaneous cans, 35-208 liters capacity of hot and cold rolled steel drums and tinplate barrels are painted inside.
The Metal Container Specialist Committee has about 1,500 production companies nationwide. According to incomplete statistics, the state-owned, state-controlled and historically-owned large collectives account for 35%, private enterprises 30%, Sino-foreign joint ventures 28%, and sole proprietorship 7%. Currently, metals The professional committee has 400 members and there are still applications for membership. It is expected that there will be more in the future.
The main reason for the large number of members of the Metal Container Professional Committee is: For many years our aim is to think about what members want and worry about the urgency of the members. In terms of serving the enterprise, it is mainly to help backward companies improve their technological level. In addition to holding many technical training classes and recommending that companies send technicians to universities that have packaging, they also organize a group of loose senior engineers to obtain their own skills. The leaders of their units agreed to organize their door-to-door service. At the same time, more attention is paid to doing something that should be done in terms of safeguarding corporate interests. Therefore, cohesion is better. In carrying out industry activities, we try to solve the difficult problems.
This industry is not a smooth sailing. It has been a period of bumpy weather and more than 20 years. During the period of the "6th Five-Year Plan" period, it has just started and is developing slowly. During the “7th Five-Year Plan” period, the relationship between supply and demand in the market is normal and there is a great trend of development. Therefore, foreign investors are very interested in China's metal packaging industry. From the year of 91-94, foreign investors flocked in, and an average of six Sino-foreign joint ventures settled in this area every month. The “Eighth Five-Year” period was the peak period of Metal Containers. .
Fortunately, due to foreign investment in setting up factories, the introduction of a large number of advanced production equipment and technical processes and scientific enterprise management should be a good thing, but due to rapid development, coupled with the macro imbalance of small township enterprises blindly launched. Since 1996, there has been an oversupply in the oversupply market, and the just-existing excellent situation has seen the industry enter a downturn.
The industry has been struggling for four years. Since the second half of 2000, due to the continuous development of related industries and the accession to the WTO in 2001, the market has gained new vitality. Some enterprises have begun to have a slight profit or get rid of losses with a slight surplus. Taking the two major economic indicators of total output and total output as an example, the growth rate was relatively slow during the five years. The total output was 1.61 million tons in 1996, 2 million tons in 2001, the total output value was 14.8 billion yuan in 1996, and 19 billion yuan in 2001. In the five years, they only increased by 24.22% and 28.38%, respectively, although the slowdown finally reached the bottom.
Second, the economic performance in the past two years:
Since the second half of 2000, it has only slightly improved. The industry was suddenly listed in anti-dumping safeguard measures in May last year. The import tax rate increased from 5-7% to 25%. The domestic tinplate price has been raised. Foreign tinplate manufacturers have also followed suit and rose by 35%, making the metal container industry, which mainly uses tinplate, fall into a predicament and there has been a large area of losses. From May last year to 10 months in March this year, some large-scale enterprises suffered losses of several tens of millions of yuan, and small businesses can use small amounts of iron to survive in the cracks. Most of the large-scale backbone enterprises and medium-sized excellent enterprises have stopped or semi-discontinued. The leaders of the China Association for the Safety of Goods and the Metal Containers Committee, since the release of the safeguard measures by the Ministry of Economics and Economics, in order to safeguard the interests of the industry and have been disturbed by food, have repeatedly stated to the competent national authorities six times that the tinplate should not belong to anti-dumping. According to arguments, the state economy and trade will After an in-depth investigation and study, the committee formally announced on November 19 last year that the import volume of tinplate showed a causal relationship with the safeguard measures and was withdrawn.
To this end, the State Economic and Trade Commission has twice convened the relevant associations and the production of tinplate companies and user representatives to coordinate, while there are other factors, the domestic tinplate prices from the second quarter of this year to return to a more reasonable price. Since May of this year, the supply and demand sides of the Tinplate Fellowship, the China Association for the Promotion of Packaging, and the Metal Containers Committee have communicated with each other on many occasions in consideration of the overall situation and harmony. The Tinplate Association also voluntarily visited the China Association for the Promotion of the Poor. The two sides conducted negotiations in a friendly atmosphere and reached consensus on establishing a dialogue mechanism and price communication in the future, and how to achieve win-win results and common development. At present, some companies have gradually improved.
Third, the development trend of the same industry at home and abroad:
(I) Domestic development trends The metal packaging industry is capital-intensive and technology-intensive, and its main products are characterized by long shelf life, easy carrying and collision resistance, and low prevalence of falsification. Under the favorable situation in the new century when China's accession to the WTO and the Olympics bid succeeded, some related industries have already shown a momentum of increasing production, which will lead to a double increase in domestic demand and export commodities in the metal packaging industry. It is expected that with the price of tinplate and auxiliary materials no longer going up, it is possible for the metal packaging industry to increase at an annual rate of 10%. Based on information from the Beverage Association, carbonated beverages and other non-nitrogen-enriched beverages were 16.8 million tons in 2001, calculated at a 10% increase, and are expected to reach 18.5 million tons this year, of which about 3 cans of tinplate filling Billions of canned food cans and metal cans have an average of about 4 billion bottles. Beer production has reached more than 23 million tons in the country. Filling two cans is calculated at 4%. There are 920,000 tons of beer and 2.5 billion cans of aluminum cans are needed. . Other tanks and drums that are still required for fats, chemicals, military products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics have not been counted. If the prices of the related industries in the downstream industries are basically stable, the metal containers may usher in the second leap after the “Eighth Five-Year Plan”.
In summary, the development of metal containers is relatively large. In particular, the central government proposes that the development of deep processing of agricultural and sideline products requires a relatively large amount of metal barrels and cans. After the accession to the WTO, some foreign investors have come to invest in China, and the metal packaging containers industry is not an example. They brought new equipment and new technologies to set up factories in China, and the quality of metal barrels and cans in China has reached the level of similar products in advanced countries. Foreign companies need barrels and cans not to be transported to China from distant oceans. In addition, it has increased the number of user representatives for market share to coordinate. At the same time, there are also other factors. Domestic tinplate prices have returned to reasonable prices since the second quarter of this year. Since May of this year, the supply and demand sides of the Tinplate Fellowship, the China Association for the Promotion of Packaging, and the Metal Containers Committee have communicated with each other on many occasions in consideration of the overall situation and harmony. The Tinplate Association also voluntarily visited the China Association for the Promotion of the Poor. The two sides conducted negotiations in a friendly atmosphere and reached consensus on establishing a dialogue mechanism and price communication in the future, and how to achieve win-win results and common development. At present, some companies have gradually improved. (To be continued)
