China's Fasteners to Get Rid of the "Outside Opportunity" Strategy

Summary of contents: As the largest manufacturing country of fasteners, our metal fastener production enterprises have experienced hardships for many years. Since joining the WTO in 2008, we have been frustrated overseas and have suffered a lot. Still can not get rid of the "indigestion", "outside the enemy" awkward situation, the key issue is the international standardization strategy.

Specifically speaking, the first is the lack of complete hardware fastener industry standards, and the second is that the hardware fastener industry, which is an important component of the accessory parts industry, and even the positioning of the company itself are not accurate enough. In other words, there is a long-standing relationship between the company and the host company. War, irrelevant state of the pattern. This is where our hardware fastener industry has always been unable to break through international barriers, rush out of the world, and the crux of the war. It is also our biggest obstacle to losing to foreign brands.

International hardware fastener products have two sets of relatively independent standard systems: metric standards and imperial standards. The metric system is the European standard system, and is mainly based on the international ISO, European Community EN standards and French DIN standards. The American Standard, the American Standard System, is based on ASTM, the Society of Automotive Engineers' SAE Standard, and the IFI Standard of the American Fastener Technology Association (the British standard is based on ASTM and SAE).

There is a deviation in the positioning of domestic fasteners. The position of domestic hardware fastener companies has not been very clear about their positioning, blind production, and lack of matching and cooperation with the host companies. It can be said that the vast majority of domestic fastener companies' products are only produced in batches according to a unified standard. They do not care whether their products can meet the matching requirements of the mainframe products on the market. They are blindly pursuing their own factory volume, and thus tightening. The piece became a "universal card" fastener, but it was difficult to guarantee the mechanical stability of the host application.
