China produces 40% of the machinery on the earth, the Germany Machinery Association says

[LeGenD]

Not surprising.

China is a supply-driven economy with global investment in it for manufacturing ends. Therefore, China is like a manufacturing hub of goods for the world at large.

US is an entirely different economic model. Still, manufacturing in the US - alone - attains the rank of 12th largest economy in the world; nothing to sneeze at.

American domestic manufacturing suffered extensively due to NAFTA-like deals and politics of climate-change (from Democrats). Donald Trump intends to change this.

interesting. but I have yet to see China made machines in Germany. more interesting. when I look at alibaba for VN made machines, I see 30,144 results.

Regardless congrats

So I say Vietnam belongs to the industrial countries, but you denied it before...
Because of the manufacturing population? I don't think that's the only factor.

it is a surprise for me. regardless an interesting cooperation: selling made in VN machines on a Chinese website.

When you become the world's leading exporter of manufactured goods. For example, ship exporting countries, arms exporting countries, high-speed rail exporting countries, machinery exporting countries... Your surprise is getting less and less.

You feel like - oh, yeah.

So, Vietnam can be regarded as an industrial country, but still need to hard.

True it is like the feeling of a man who earns the first ever $1 million. The feeling is great. But when he passes $10 million mark, the feeling of greatness is stale. That is China.

You feel oh yeah how boring.

Vietnam is like a man who tries to reach the first $1 million mark

INSIDE CHINA : Beyond the Semi-conductor Industry

Long eclipsed by its successful electronic-information and semi-conductor sectors, Taiwan’s machinery industry is keen to become a global leader in several niche markets.

Taiwan's global reputation as a “sci-tech island” is largely based on the success of its electronic-information industry and, in particular, the pioneering work of its semi-conductor sector. This high-tech pre-eminence, however, has often eclipsed other Taiwanese industries – most notably its machinery sector.

In fact, machinery products of Taiwanese origin are sold around the world, accounting for the bulk of the island's exports. This year, the output value of such products is tipped to exceed NT$1 trillion (US$33 billion), underlining the sector’s role as a key economic growth driver.

Industry Evolution
Taiwan's machinery sector began flourishing in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, consumer goods and light industrial production were staples of the sector, with food processing and textile-production equipment predominating – notably oil presses, rice mills, textile systems and sewing machines.

This changed in the 1960s and 1970s, partly in response to the global energy crisis and on account of the transformation of Taiwan's industrial base, which shifted its output to machine tools, production machinery and transportation.

A more managed approach to the sector came about in the 1980s, as the Taiwan government mandated a six-year infrastructure-development programme, as well as moves to nurture 10 emerging industry sectors, including a focus on electronic information. In line with this, the machinery industry output was geared more towards the production of high-tech products, including precision machine tools and semi-conductor equipment, as well as a number of other key components and parts.

Intelligent Industry
More recently, along with other major industrial producers around the world, Taiwan’s focus has been on computerisation, digitalisation and intelligentisation. Following the 2016 election of Tsai Ing-wen as the island's leader, her administration has made intelligent machinery a priority. The move is very much in keeping with Industry 4.0, the global drive for the development of smart factories.

At present, the machinery sector is Taiwan's third-largest industry in terms of output value, trailing only semi-conductors and petrochemicals. In total, the island is home to 13,000 machinery plants, together employing some 300,000 people.

In 2016, according to the Taiwan Association of Machinery Industry (TAMI), the output value of the local machinery industry was some NT$990 billion (~250 billion RMB), a 3.6 per cent year-on-year rise. In total, exports accounted for NT$681.8 billion of that figure, a 0.1 per cent increase on 2015.

Economic Boost
This year, signs of a global economic recovery have boosted the machinery sector, with exports up by 11.2 per cent to NT$170 billion. However, since the local currency appreciated six per cent against the US dollar over this period, the actual year-on-year growth rate was only 4.9 per cent.

According to TAMI Chairman Alex Ko, the Taipei International Machine Tool Show, held last March, resulted in a flood of orders for local businesses. A similar windfall is also expected from several events on the Chinese mainland and in Europe. As a consequence, Mr Ko expects overall output and export value to grow by five per cent to 10 per cent this year, with total output likely to be valued in excess of NT$1 trillion.

In line with this, Taiwan's machinery industry is seen as a truly global player. Overall, it ranks second in the world for the export of shoe-making machinery, fourth for the export of machine tools, fifth for textile machinery and sixth for plastics and rubber machinery. While many of Taiwan's traditional industries, such as shoe-making, textiles, plastics and rubber, have relocated to the mainland or Southeast Asia in the past 20 years, many of these businesses still rely on Taiwanese manufacturers for machinery and equipment.

In terms of the Taiwan's machine-tools sector, Fair Friend is the market leader. In recent years, the Taipei-headquartered business has been a major player on the mergers and acquisitions circuit. This has seen DMC from South Korea, Pfiffner of Switzerland and two German companies – MAG and Wohlenberg – become part of the Fair Friend empire. The company became the world's third-largest machine-tool manufacturer, trailing only Germany's DMG and Japan's Mazak.

Fair Friend is also the world's top manufacturer of both vertical machining centres and automotive machine tools, while ranking second for aerospace machine tools, third for nuclear-power generation and new-energy machine tools and fifth for rail transport. Chairman Jimmy Chu says all the machine-tool technology the company has accessed through mergers and acquisitions in Europe, North America, Japan and South Korea in recent years, will ultimately be transferred back to Taiwan.

Smart-machine Industrial Park
In terms of the future development of the wider industry, a government-backed smart machinery industry park is set to be established as part the second phase of the Shengang Fengzhou Technology Park in central Taiwan. Scheduled to be completed in 2018, some NT$70 billion has been invested in the park, which will provide facilities for about 50 companies.

Despite government backing and several success stories, the biggest challenge facing Taiwan's machinery industry is overseas competition, most notably from Japan and Germany, which are developing their own innovative technology. In two of the key sectors – artificial intelligence and automation/robotics – Taiwan still lags considerably behind the market leaders, with the technology level of most of the island's factories still at the medium to low end of the spectrum.

To make up for the shortfall, plans are now in place to enhance Taiwan's ability to compete in several key technological areas through collaborations between the state and Taiwan's academic sector on several smart machinery-related R&D projects.

This Fair Friend is really an impressive company.

A unified Republic of China can be the most powerful country. I hope our Taiwan brethren can see this....otherwise Taiwan is just another American vassal.

It is really impressive. I also posted in another thread, their group revenue already ranks world #3 (世界第三大工具机械集团), trace only behind Yamazaki Mazak (山崎马扎克) and DMG Mori Seki (德玛吉森精机), has already overtaken traditional CNC powerhouses like Okuma, Makino!

FFG has also acquired aerospace machinery specialist SNK (Shin Nippon Koki), making FFG group now world's #2 largest CNC maker for aerospace/defence industry. I like FFG's aggressive expansion strategy, organic + M&A, excellent job!

Famsun headquarters and production lines complex in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province covers an area as big as 64 football fields combined. The state-of-the-art facility was built in 2014 at a cost of 1.3 billion yuan (US$212 million).
_________________________________________________________________________

TWO Arab-looking businessmen were sitting on sofas with a Chinese interpreter when a group of journalists and media executives entered the reception hall of Famsun Holdings, China’s largest food and feed machinery manufacturer. A brief chat revealed that the two men came from Oman.

One of them said they had seen Famsun products in a trade show and came to check the production environment before placing orders for some feed mills. They were impressed by Famsun’s factory, management and technical standards.

The journalists who were attending a forum in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, were impressed too as they rode electric trams to tour a vast factory as big as 64 football fields combined. They drove for over 1 kilometer on an elevated aisle overlooking production lines.

In a display room, Liu Guangdao, director and vice president of Famsun Holdings, showed the company’s history and achievements with a video. He said the state-of-the-art facility was built in 2014 at a cost of 1.3 billion yuan (US$212 million).

“For eight years in a row, Famsun produced more than 60 percent of all feed mills China exported,” Liu said. “About 70 percent of our products are sold abroad, mostly to Belt and Road countries. Export revenue increased by 20 percent last year.”​

He said the company is taking advantage of the Belt and Road initiative to develop new markets and benefit people in B&R countries with food that is safer, better and cheaper.

Liu said Famsun invests more than 4 percent of its annual sales revenue in R&D and has established research institutes in four countries with nearly 100 expert engineers. The company owns 979 patents, including 10 foreign patents. Its pellet mill, multi-pass convection belt dryer, ultra-fine pulverizer, twin-shaft paddle mixer are among the best in the world.

He said Famsun is the member of the National Feed Machinery Standardization Committee, which is at the same address as the company, and is recruiting talent worldwide to work in its five joint ventures, four R&D centers, eight branch companies, and some 50 representative offices in countries including Russia, Poland, Denmark, Egypt, USA, Brazil, India and Vietnam.

Famsun is looking for more acquisitions and joint venture partners to meet growing market demands while continuing to build innovation capabilities to serve the B&R initiative and Made in China 2025 program.
