Embracing New Challenges; Starting the New Journey Rotating Chairman of China Machine Tool & Tool Builders’Association Board Chairman, Party Secretary of Wuhan Heavy Duty MachineTool Group Corporation Mr. Du Zhuoyu When CCMT 2018 is going tocommerce, on behalf of CMTBA and Wuhan Heavy Duty Machine Tool GroupCorporation, here I would like to express my most sincere congratulations tothe opening of this great event and my warmest welcome to peers and friendshome and abroad. The year 2018 marks thebeginning of China putting into action the guiding principles of 19th CPCNational Congress, and also an important year to continue the implementation ofthe “13th 5-Year-Plan”. In a whole, our manufacturing industry has come to themiddle to late- stage of industrialization. In machine tool industry,differentiation accelerates and structural imbalance becomes more accurate. Themanufacturing industry will comprehensively steer from the stage of rapidgrowth to high quality development. Traditional machine tools will be graduallyreplaced by the latest, full automatic and intelligent equipment, and thedemand for middle and high-end intelligent equipments of high accuracy, highefficiency and high reliability will become the main stream. Such are the newopportunities and challenges faced by the machine tool industry. “Focus on -Digitalization·Interconnection·Intelligent Manufacturing” is not only the themeof CCMT 2018, but also the key words of our future development. Into the newera, the new industrial revolution and the "Made in China 2025"strategy historically intertwined together. To take the “commanding heights” inthe future, Chinese machine tool industry should focus on IntelligentManufacturing. To embrace new opportunities and start the new journey, weshould accelerate the transition upgrading with no waste of time. In recent years, WuzhongGroup has thoroughly implemented innovation-driven strategy, developed avariety of digital production line and intelligent equipments such as WTS712digital multi-unit drilling machine for aviation filed, WGZ1280 frog flexiblemanufacturing line for rail transportation, XK95250 aluminum ingot process linefor aluminum ingot processing as well as VTM5925 Five-Axis vertical machiningcenter for gas turbine casing.

Constant Cultivation of Machine Tool Industry Rotating Chairman of China Machine Tool & Tool Builders’Association Chairman of Guangzhou CNC Equipment Co., Ltd. Mr. He Minjia As the backbone of China’sindustrialization, machine tool is a fundamental as well astechnology-intensive industry, which entails long and intensive cultivation.With industrious efforts, it will be endurable like centurial conifer, stronglike steel! China CNC Machine Tool Fair 2018(CCMT 2018) provides machine toolexperts with another opportunity of deep learning and communication in thisaspect, which makes it a palace of healthy survival and thriving growth. Supply-side reform putforth by Chinese Central Government indicates the development of machine toolindustry requires intensive cultivation and hilling, extermination of lifelessbranches like planting a tree. To advance machine tool industry, it isnecessary to delve into industrial development rules and learn from developedcountries’ successful experience in boosting machine tool industry:focus on talent training, delicateprocess, lean production, make reliable and endurable products with highquality. The theme of CCMT2018“Focus on - Digitalization·Interconnection·Intelligent Manufacturing” hashelped to give directions for machine tool development. It is acknowledged thatintelligent manufacturing makes a harsh demand of machine tool industry: itrequires not only products to be endurable, reliable and stable but alsoproduct design and improvement to be in line with new demand of intelligentmanufacturing, which means new products must be put into intelligent andautomated manufacturing mechanism or intelligent assembly line and upstream anddownstream of industrial chain must be interconnected. Moreover, corporatepositioning must be integrated with industrial ecology. Technical team mustrelearn intelligent manufacturing, study users’ need and transform from productfunctions and index design to project design to meet users’ demand! The future intelligentmanufacturing cannot flourish without machine tool industry! The development ofmachine tool industry needs massive funds. To raise funds, we can taketechnical advantage and properly develop several small products in large volumeso as to improve machine tool industry. In this way, the ecology in this fieldwill be improved, which will attract more hummingbirds to come and fertilizesthe soil. Eventually, the tree of machine tool will thrive. Under the Belt and RoadInitiative, new demand brings vigor to machine tool industry. I wish all of usstay committed and forge ahead to build everlasting enterprises! Rooted in China, CCMT WillGrow Better and Better President of CMTBA Mr. Mao Yufeng China CNC Machine ToolFair 2018 (CCMT2018) hosted by China Machine Tool & Tool Builders’Association and jointly held by Shanghai International Exhibition Co., Ltd.,will take place on April 9-13 in Shanghai New International Expo Center. Onthis occasion, we cordially invite our domestic and overseas colleagues,customers and friends both old and new to visit our exhibition, to exchangeviews, to discuss about cooperation and to build friendship. The 19th CPC NationalCongress has given us a new and important judgment on the major socialcontradictions in China. China has entered a new era with new revolution andchanges. The machine tool & tool industry will face new challenges andembrace new opportunities. The birth and developmentof CCMT are closely linked to the consistent growth of China’s machine tool& tool consumer market and the evolvement of CNC machine tool industry.Nine sessions of CCMT have been successfully held with its scale expandingsession by session. The total area of CCMT2018 has reached 120,000 squaremeters. There will be 1200 domestic and overseas well-known machine tool &tool manufacturers from 23 countries and regions participating in CCMT2018.Both of the total exhibition area and the number of exhibitors have increasedsignificantly, compared with CCMT2016. China’s economy maintaineda steady growth with its structural adjustment further deepening in 2017.Thanks to its influence, China’s machine tool & tool consumer market showedan apparent restorative growth posture. In 2017, the total consumption of metalworking machine tool was USD29.97 billion, which was a growth of 7.5% with a6.1% increase of growth rate compared with last year. The gross output of metalworking machines was USD24.52 billion, which was a Y-o-Y growth of 5.1%. Thetotal value of export was USD3.29 billion, which was a Y-o-Y growth of 11.4%.The total value of import was USD8.74 billion, which was a Y-o-Y growth of16.3%. To sum up based on the data above, China’s consumer market of metalworking machine tool showed a new characteristic of “total quantity stabilized,structure upgraded”. In future, the consumer market of China’s metal workingmachine tool will keep the mild and steady growth trend. In 2017, China’sconsumption of tool & measuring instrument showed a growth of significantrebound. The demand for the import of middle and high end tool & measureincreased substantially, and the consumption structure upgraded sharply. Thetotal consumption was USD4.82 billion, which was a Y-o-Y growth of 20.2%. Theoutput was USD5.8 billion, which was a Y-o-Y growth of 13.7%. The total valueof export was USD2.79 billion, which was a Y-o-Y growth of 8.1%. The totalvalue of import was USD1.81 billion, which was a Y-o-Y growth of 21.5%. Based onthe expectation on the steady growth and the upgrading to middle and high endof China’s manufacturing industry, the consumption of China’s tool &measuring instrument would keep a consistent growth trend in the future Machine tool industry isthe anchor of manufacturing resource allocation in the world’s markets. Withthe development of the supply side structural reform, China moves its focus onproduct quality. Both of demand and supply sides are experiencing new changes.The structural adjustment and the differentiation of China’s market arebecoming evident. The interaction and overlap of the structural change and theperiodic variation will create a better environment for china machine tool& tool industry to have more opportunities to offer better supplies andhigh quality development in China’s machine tool consumer market. For machinetool industry, the challenges and opportunities are co-existed. The theme ofthe exhibition has been set as “Focus on – Digitalization · Interconnection ·Intelligent Manufacturing” in responding to the trend of China’s machine tool& tool market. We believe CCMT, rooted in the Chinese market, will growbetter and better. CMTBA |
