The Gateway To The World'S Largest Fiberglass Supply Base

"Phoenix is singing.

Parasol tree is born in Chaoyang "Book of Songs Da Ya volume a".

The name of Tongxiang is drawn from "

Tongxiang is located in the hinterland of Hang Jia Hu plain in the northern part of Zhejiang province. It lives in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Golden Triangle.

In Zhejiang's various regional economies, Tongxiang's glass fiber industry is undoubtedly a very special one.

Tongxiang glass fiber export base is the largest fiberglass supply base in the world. In Europe and America, Middle East, India, South America and other more than 90 countries and regions, there are glass fiber products from Tongxiang, which are second to none in China's domestic market. When many Chinese foreign trade sectors are still in the throes of pformation and upgrading, Tongxiang's glass fiber industry has already done its best. It has the largest stone fiber group with the largest scale of glass fiber production, and is strong and long industrial chain driven by the leading enterprises. Tongxiang's glass fiber industry is committed to developing new materials and improving the status of China's glass fiber (600176, stock bar) in the world. It's not just because

By the end of 2010, Tongxiang glass fiber export base was upgraded to Zhejiang's provincial export base.

Steel is never made without practice.

Tongxiang's glass fiber export base, which has been trained for more than 30 years, is also ready to meet the golden age of development.

Expanding the application of new materials based on raw material production

Glass is a kind of material known for its brittleness. Interestingly, once the glass is heated and pulled to a much finer glass fiber than its hair, it seems to have completely forgotten its own nature and become soft as synthetic fiber, and its toughness even exceeds that of the same thickness of stainless steel wire.

As a new material, glass fiber has become an indispensable raw material for building, pportation, electronics, electrical, chemical, metallurgy, environmental protection, national defense and other industries. The international and domestic market prospects are very broad.

In Tongxiang, the glass fiber industry is an important part of its industrial economy.

By the end of 2010, the annual output value of Tongxiang's fiberglass industry was 3 billion 800 million yuan, accounting for 4.1% of Tongxiang's total industrial output value, of which 303 million was exported, accounting for 16% of the total exports of the city.

The glass fiber production capacity of Tongxiang base accounts for 38% and 20% of the domestic market and international market respectively.

The following is a group of data learned by the Tongxiang foreign trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau. The export of Tongxiang glass fiber export base in 1~9 this year has totaled 276 million 530 thousand US dollars, accounting for 15% of the total export volume of Tongxiang, an increase of 17% over the same period last year. Among them, the two leading enterprises of the Giant Stone Group Co., Ltd. and the Hengshi Wei base industry Co., Ltd. accumulated 265 million 110 thousand US dollars, accounting for 96% of the total export of glass fiber, up 17% over the same period last year.

From the export market, the United States, the European Union and West Asia are the top three exporter of glass fiber in Tongxiang. In addition to the decline in the European market affected by the anti-dumping case of the European Union, the export growth of the US and Western Asian markets increased by more than 60%.

Moreover, general trade occupies 99% of the dominant mode of export of glass fiber in Tongxiang.

From the raw materials of glass fiber to the downstream derivative electronic fabric, composite doors, environmental protection flooring, wind turbine blades, Tongxiang's glass fiber products are increasingly rich.

However, the head of the Tongxiang glass fiber export base also pointed out that although China has become the world's largest producer of glass fiber, most of it is used for export, and the domestic market and the downstream application areas of glass fiber need to be further developed.

Therefore, based on the production of glass fiber raw materials, Tongxiang's glass fiber export base is actively developing new application fields of glass fiber materials for small and medium-sized enterprises in the base.

For example, the refractory bricks produced by Zhejiang bate Refractories Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Huaying wind power equipment Co., Ltd., for the clean energy wind turbine blades, etc., the expansion of application fields of downstream materials also opened wider market space for the development of Tongxiang fiberglass industry.

With the further expansion of the scope of the application of glass fiber in the world and the development policy of low carbon economy proposed by the state, the traditional industries have paid attention to the selection of glass and steel materials in light and energy-saving multi-functional materials.

The development of domestic emerging markets and new energy has also promoted the wider application of FRP.

Insiders are looking forward to the future of fiberglass products, pointing out that the boom of fiberglass industry is rising sharply.

The supply of fiberglass products will gradually tighten, and the global price of glass fiber products has also become the consensus of the industry. The development of glass fiber industry in Tongxiang is expected to enter a golden age of development.

Relying on leading enterprises to realize the sharing of the three service platforms

"Export base construction is the main starting point, main channel and main task of pformation and upgrading, and the construction of export base is always based on the cultivation of public service platform."

At the work conference on export bases held in Jiaxing this year, Chen Rufang, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce, repeatedly stressed that the base is fundamental and the platform is the key concept of construction.

From past experience, a series of facilities investment, such as R & D, testing and logistics, often become the "hard threshold" for the construction of public service platform.

Therefore, according to the current development of local glass fiber industry, Tongxiang has adopted a public service platform based on the existing facilities and equipment of leading enterprises to realize the mode of enterprise service sharing within the base.

Relying on the strong R & D and testing power of the giant stone group of the leading enterprise in the base, Tongxiang has established six municipal public service platforms, such as "glass fiber technology research and Development Promotion Center", "glass fiber technology inspection and testing center", "glass fiber industry training center", and carried out external service work.

With the upgrading of glass fiber export base in Tongxiang last year to the first batch of provincial export bases in Zhejiang, the three platforms of public inspection and testing platform, technology research and development platform and public logistics platform have become provincial public service platforms at the same time.

The open public service platform will bring strong radiation and impetus to the enterprises in the base.

In the three major public service platforms, the public inspection and testing platform and technology R & D platform is still supported by the huge stone group with strong financial strength, complete monitoring facilities and strong research and development capabilities, providing strong support for quality inspection and product R & D design for the relevant fiberglass products enterprises in the base.

The reporter learned that the inspection center of Giant Stone Group Co., Ltd. is a national laboratory accredited by the China National Accreditation Committee for conformity assessment (CNAS), specializing in the inspection of glass and mineral raw materials, glass fiber and its products, glass fiber composite materials, chemical raw materials, sewage, exhaust gas, packaging materials and other items. The inspection report issued has international mutual recognition (with CNAS and ILAC-MRA international mutual recognition joint logo), which is impartial, scientific and authoritative.

The testing center has a number of leading professional laboratories, such as fluorescent spectrum analyzers, gas chromatograph, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer, etc., and a number of high quality, sharp equipment and constant temperature and humidity glass fiber mechanics laboratory and glass fiber reinforced plastic performance laboratory.

At the same time, the center has also set up a professional team engaged in product testing and technology research, providing comprehensive product quality testing for all fiberglass products manufacturers in the base, including various physical properties and chemical performance analysis. The detection varieties include glass fiber, glass fiber products and glass fiber based composite products.

In the research and development of public service platform, the giant stone group R & D center has planned a construction area of 8000 square meters, and has invested more than 20 million yuan on the basis of the original over 40 million yuan experimental equipment. It has become the most advanced glass fiber public technology R & D platform at home and even internationally.

The existing engineering technology specialty of megalith covers silicate, organic chemical industry, textile, automation control, environmental protection and other fields. It can provide performance analysis, optimization research and design and development of special equipment and facilities for the composites industry for the enterprises in the base.

As the only one in the Jiaxing area that has been selected as the joint development demonstration enterprise of manufacturing and logistics industry in China, Zhejiang International Stone Logistics Co., Ltd., which is a joint development model of the manufacturing and logistics industry, takes up the public logistics platform in the export base. It provides door-to-door pportation, container pportation, pportation of goods, air and sea pport agents, import and export trade agents, import and export trade agents, import and export trade agents, international air import and export agents, domestic cargo door to door pport agents, international LCL pportation, bulk and special bulk carrier pport agents, customs declaration and inspection services.

Yu Shi international logistics Co., Ltd. is now the largest multi-functional logistics enterprise in Northern Zhejiang Province, and has made a series of fruitful achievements in developing pportation, multimodal pport and third party logistics.
