In 1999, Dingxiang County was named "the hometown of forging in China". It has become a gathering place for flange suppliers in the world. At the end of 2012, although the number of flange forging enterprises in Dingxiang decreased by 1 / 3 compared with the peak, their flange quality and equipment technology level rose to an unprecedented level. At present, Dingxiang has 118 enterprises with self export right, 10841 sets of various machining equipment, and the annual forging production capacity has reached 1 million tons. The main products include flange, gear, shaft forgings and large rings.
"The country needs more than 10000 sets of wind power flanges a year. The production capacity of our four wind power flange enterprises (Jinrui, Tianbao, Shuanghuan and fuxingtong) can meet most of the needs of wind power enterprises in the country." Zhang Zhiwei, assistant general manager of Jinrui high pressure ring Co., Ltd., told reporters. Jinrui is not only the first enterprise to manufacture wind power flange in China, but also the main drafting and formulation unit of wind power flange standard in China. In this way, there are many enterprises representing the higher level of the industry in Dingxiang. However, even with industry standards and advanced equipment, the flange occupies half of the country, and Dingxiang flange forging industry still lacks the right to speak and pricing.
There are many reasons for this eye popping phenomenon in flange forging industry. According to Zhang Hairui, assistant county magistrate in charge of industry, for a long time, the current situation of many flange forging enterprises in Dingxiang with small scale, disordered operation and scattered structure has not been effectively improved, and there are only 11 leading enterprises with an annual capacity of more than 30000 tons of flange. Shanxi Haokun flanges Group Co., Ltd. ranks among the top. The flange industry as a whole has been suffering from periodic pains for a long time - in the face of profits, some small enterprises have blindly launched, and the price of flanges has been depressed among peers. The overcapacity of the flange industry has led to the decline of the overall profits of the industry; When orders for flanges decreased, small businesses that had no ability to resist risks collapsed one after another. At the same time, backward concept, poor sense of group and small wealth have also become ideological fetters for flange forging enterprises to become bigger and stronger.
