New Supply for New Demand   New Growth Engine for New Development

Chairman of China Machine Tool & Tool Builders’ Association

Party Secretary and Chairman of Qinchuan Machine Tool & Tool Group Corp.  

Mr. Long Xingyuan

On the occasion of CCMT2018, I am herein, on behalf of China Machine Tool & Tool Builders’ Association and Qinchuan Machine Tool & Tool Group Corp., to express the most sincere congratulations on this event!

In the past year of 2017, China economy has maintained a stable performance with good momentum for growth. The structural adjustment has been continuously deepened and the motivation transformation has continued to increase. Domestic machine tool and tool industry showed bottom stabilization. Machine tool and tool products consumer market presented restorative growth. The short-term industrial consumables increased obviously, but metal cutting machine tools, which are related with long-term investment have been weakening. The structural adjustment and differentiation of the market is becoming more and more prominent. In particular, the high-end machine tools are still unable to meet the high-end users’ demand. Overall innovation and upgrading pressure of the industry still exists.

With the gradual deepening of the concept of high-quality development after the 19^th CPC National Congress, the machine tool industry is expected to show a mild recovery in 2018. But it can be predicted that, new market growth will not be largely appear compared with 2017. At the same time, we have to realize that traditional development model, which depends on scale expansion only, is unsustainable. Development must return to the rational and common sense, to the principle of efficiency and beneficial result first. Asking benefit from management and stock, rely on own innovative research and development strength, follow with the law of industry development, to realize enterprise's sustainable development with high quality.

This exhibition puts forward the theme of “Focus on - Digitalization·Interconnection·Intelligent Manufacturing”, in response to the latest demand of machine tool consumption market at home and abroad. Face with the new round of industrial revolution which core is intelligent manufacturing, digitalization, networking and intelligent of manufacturing will become the commanding heights, breakthrough point and main direction of "Made in China 2025". The future pattern of industry will realize a fundamental change from the product center to the customer center, then completes the supply side of the deep structural reforms.

Let us seize the opportunity of the 19^th CPC National Congress, with the aid of CCMT2018, strengthen exchanges, forge ahead and fight together before the opportunity for a new round of global industrial revolution, to offer new supply to new demand, gather new growth engine for new development, make efforts to create a new situation of the China machine tool and tool industry prosperity!

Board Chairman, Party Secretary of Wuhan Heavy Duty Machine Tool Group Corporation

Mr. Du Zhuoyu

When CCMT 2018 is going to commerce, on behalf of CMTBA and Wuhan Heavy Duty Machine Tool Group Corporation, here I would like to express my most sincere congratulations to the opening of this great event and my warmest welcome to peers and friends home and abroad.

The year 2018 marks the beginning of China putting into action the guiding principles of 19th CPC National Congress, and also an important year to continue the implementation of the “13th 5-Year-Plan”. In a whole, our manufacturing industry has come to the middle to late- stage of industrialization. In machine tool industry, differentiation accelerates and structural imbalance becomes more accurate. The manufacturing industry will comprehensively steer from the stage of rapid growth to high quality development. Traditional machine tools will be gradually replaced by the latest, full automatic and intelligent equipment, and the demand for middle and high-end intelligent equipments of high accuracy, high efficiency and high reliability will become the main stream. Such are the new opportunities and challenges faced by the machine tool industry.

“Focus on - Digitalization·Interconnection·Intelligent Manufacturing” is not only the theme of CCMT 2018, but also the key words of our future development. Into the new era, the new industrial revolution and the "Made in China 2025" strategy historically intertwined together. To take the “commanding heights” in the future, Chinese machine tool industry should focus on Intelligent Manufacturing. To embrace new opportunities and start the new journey, we should accelerate the transition upgrading with no waste of time.

In recent years, Wuzhong Group has thoroughly implemented innovation-driven strategy, developed a variety of digital production line and intelligent equipments such as WTS712 digital multi-unit drilling machine for aviation filed, WGZ1280 frog flexible manufacturing line for rail transportation, XK95250 aluminum ingot process line for aluminum ingot processing as well as VTM5925 Five-Axis vertical machining center for gas turbine casing. As one of the national model enterprises of service oriented manufacturing, WZ has established large scale high precision planar processing digital workshop and “Wuzhong Cloud” integrated platform for high-end equipment manufacturing and service. This time we will show our product ZH5480 CNC Gantry Type Milling and Drilling Machine, friends of all trades are welcome to our booth.

Finally, I wish CCMT2018 every success.

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’s industrialization, machine tool is a fundamental as well as technology-intensive industry, which entails long and intensive cultivation. With industrious efforts, it will be endurable like centurial conifer, strong like steel! China CNC Machine Tool Fair 2018(CCMT 2018) provides machine tool experts with another opportunity of deep learning and communication in this aspect, which makes it a palace of healthy survival and thriving growth.

Supply-side reform put forth by Chinese Central Government indicates the development of machine tool industry requires intensive cultivation and hilling, extermination of lifeless branches like planting a tree. To advance machine tool industry, it is necessary to delve into industrial development rules and learn from developed countries’ successful experience in boosting machine tool industry：focus on talent training, delicate process, lean production, make reliable and endurable products with high quality.

The theme of CCMT2018 “Focus on - Digitalization·Interconnection·Intelligent Manufacturing” has helped to give directions for machine tool development. It is acknowledged that intelligent manufacturing makes a harsh demand of machine tool industry: it requires not only products to be endurable, reliable and stable but also product design and improvement to be in line with new demand of intelligent manufacturing, which means new products must be put into intelligent and automated manufacturing mechanism or intelligent assembly line and upstream and downstream of industrial chain must be interconnected. Moreover, corporate positioning must be integrated with industrial ecology. Technical team must relearn intelligent manufacturing, study users’ need and transform from product functions and index design to project design to meet users’ demand!  

The future intelligent manufacturing cannot flourish without machine tool industry! The development of machine tool industry needs massive funds. To raise funds, we can take technical advantage and properly develop several small products in large volume so as to improve machine tool industry. In this way, the ecology in this field will be improved, which will attract more hummingbirds to come and fertilizes the soil. Eventually, the tree of machine tool will thrive.

Under the Belt and Road Initiative, new demand brings vigor to machine tool industry. I wish all of us stay committed and forge ahead to build everlasting enterprises!

Rooted in China, CCMT Will Grow Better and Better

President of CMTBA

Mr. Mao Yufeng

China CNC Machine Tool Fair 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. On this occasion, we cordially invite our domestic and overseas colleagues, customers and friends both old and new to visit our exhibition, to exchange views, to discuss about cooperation and to build friendship.

The 19th CPC National Congress has given us a new and important judgment on the major social contradictions in China. China has entered a new era with new revolution and changes. The machine tool & tool industry will face new challenges and embrace new opportunities.

The birth and development of 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 expanding session by session. The total area of CCMT2018 has reached 120,000 square meters. 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 increased significantly, compared with CCMT2016.

China’s economy maintained a steady growth with its structural adjustment further deepening in 2017. Thanks to its influence, China’s machine tool & tool consumer market showed an apparent restorative growth posture. In 2017, the total consumption of metal working machine tool was USD29.97 billion, which was a growth of 7.5% with a 6.1% increase of growth rate compared with last year. The gross output of metal working machines was USD24.52 billion, which was a Y-o-Y growth of 5.1%. The total 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 of 16.3%. To sum up based on the data above, China’s consumer market of metal working machine tool showed a new characteristic of “total quantity stabilized, structure upgraded”. In future, the consumer market of China’s metal working machine tool will keep the mild and steady growth trend.

In 2017, China’s consumption of tool & measuring instrument showed a growth of significant rebound. The demand for the import of middle and high end tool & measure increased substantially, and the consumption structure upgraded sharply. The total consumption was USD4.82 billion, which was a Y-o-Y growth of 20.2%. The output was USD5.8 billion, which was a Y-o-Y growth of 13.7%. The total value of export was USD2.79 billion, which was a Y-o-Y growth of 8.1%. The total value of import was USD1.81 billion, which was a Y-o-Y growth of 21.5%. Based on the expectation on the steady growth and the upgrading to middle and high end of China’s manufacturing industry, the consumption of China’s tool & measuring instrument would keep a consistent growth trend in the future

Machine tool industry is the anchor of manufacturing resource allocation in the world’s markets. With the development of the supply side structural reform, China moves its focus on product quality. Both of demand and supply sides are experiencing new changes. The structural adjustment and the differentiation of China’s market are becoming evident. The interaction and overlap of the structural change and the periodic variation will create a better environment for china machine tool & tool industry to have more opportunities to offer better supplies and high quality development in China’s machine tool consumer market. For machine tool industry, the challenges and opportunities are co-existed. The theme of the 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 grow better and better.
