Development strategy of metal containers in the ne

Development strategy for metal containers in the new century I. Basic information of the industry at present, there are about 1500 metal container manufacturing enterprises in China, mostly in Guangdong, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shandong and other places. The metal packaging industry is full of foreign-funded enterprises. Representative metal container manufacturers include Boer Asia Pacific Group, Pacific Group, crown group, East China can making group, Fujian LianJian group, Sanshui Jianlibao Fute container company, Hangzhou COFCO Meite company, Wuxi huapengjiaduobao bottle cap company, Haikou coconut tree can making company, Shanghai Ziquan packaging company, Shandong Lipeng packaging company, Beijing Origen Xinmei can making company, Shanghai Meilin zhengguanghe group iron printing can making company Steel drum plant of Sinopec Sales Company; Large equipment manufacturing enterprises and raw and auxiliary material suppliers include Shanghai Baosteel Group tinplate factory, WISCO tinplate factory, Taiwan unified tinplate company, Guangdong Zhongyue tinplate company, Guangzhou ICI coating company, Suzhou PPG packaging coating company, American Grace (China) sealant company, etc. According to statistics, the total output of main products in metal containers in China in 2000 was 192 tons

II. Existing problems

1. The metal container packaging industry has introduced a large number of advanced equipment in the 10 years from 1986 to 1996. For example, the automatic production line of two-piece cans has been increased from 13 (the speed is mostly about 800 per minute) to 26, and the production speed is only per minute; There are nearly 200 automatic production lines for three piece cans, and the production speed of 40% of the production lines reaches only one per minute. At present, the operating rate of most factories is only about 50%, and the equipment is idle and wasted seriously, which is the consequence of macro imbalance and blind launch. Therefore, the competent departments are called on to strengthen macro control

2. In the past 40 years, tinplate has been mainly imported, and the domestic production can only reach more than 100000 tons per year. Since 1996, the Ministry of metallurgy has put the localization of tinplate on the agenda. By 2005, it is estimated that the total production capacity of tinplate in China will reach 1.6 million tons. At present, the annual demand of tinplate in China is about 10000 tons, which is likely to lead to the situation of oversupply, which should be controlled as soon as possible

3. Due to the oversupply in the market, enterprises are competing to reduce prices in order to seize the market. This disorderly competition has caused flames of war and artificial market chaos. However, it is indeed difficult for the state to limit prices, and price coordination can only be carried out step by step

III. DuPont: materials must reduce heat. Development ideas in the new century

first, the metal container packaging industry should have a sense of urgency to enter the WTO

secondly, consolidate the existing famous brand products. At present, most of the domestic two-piece cans, three-piece cans and aerosol cans have caught up with the level of similar international products. In the future, while continuing to implement the strategy of building famous brands, we should promote ISO9000 international quality certification as soon as possible on the basis of reaching the international level, so as to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic metal container packaging enterprises in the international market

thirdly, at present, domestic and foreign talents are divided into 10 levels according to their soft and hard degree: the competition is fierce, and it is difficult to improve product quality and implement scientific enterprise management without high-quality talents. Therefore, we should speed up the introduction of talents and adopt the method of combining short-term training with further study in Colleges and universities for employees with low original quality, so as to improve the overall quality of the industry

IV. new products and technologies

keep pace with the prosperity of the market. The designs and varieties of metal barrels and cans are also constantly updated, with different product shapes and more beautiful. Shanghai Baoyi can making Co., Ltd. succeeded in producing two-piece cans with special tinplate produced by Baosteel. The output was 400 million in 1999 and 800 million in 2000

the sealing cover used in canned food has been replaced by a large opening easy to pull cover and a unscrewing cover, which solves the big problem that it is difficult to open the cover. It is also a new technology to produce vacuum safety cover with secondary cold rolling malleable iron

at present, the general production thickness in China is 0 Linzhou Dingxin magnesium industry and Henan Dewei technology will bring the cutting-edge utilization of magnesium alloy wheels to show 17mm-0.28mm tinplate. The existing tinplate manufacturers are trying to develop ultra-thin and high hardness tinplate, but it will take some time and introduce technology

the quality of metal packaging products in China has been improved, and some products have reached the level of similar products in the world, but there is still a gap in our technical level and raw and auxiliary materials compared with advanced countries

since the 1990s, Germany, Japan, Britain, the United States, France and other countries have successfully developed coated iron that can completely replace tinplate, which is an epoch-making progress. At present, the developed countries have adopted the extremely thin steel plate with the thickness of 0.07mm-0.12mm to make barrels and cans, and the cans made of alloy aluminum plate can be heated in the microwave oven. China's Taiwan Province is developing cans that can be heated directly by fire. The printed patterns on the outer surface of the cans and the inner coating will not fall off during the heating process
