At present, there are more than 1,000 metal packaging enterprises with a certain scale in the country, and more than 500 have annual sales of more than 5 million yuan. The total industrial output value of metal packaging containers is about 25 billion yuan. In recent years, the metal packaging industry has maintained a relatively stable, healthy and sustainable development momentum, basically maintaining an annual growth rate of about 7%. ...

In 2006, the Metal Container Committee of the China Packaging Federation organized a survey on more than 40 companies in different regions, different ownerships, different scales, and different product structures. From the survey results, the development situation of my country's metal packaging industry is optimistic, but some problems cannot be ignored. ...

Judging from the results of market research, some large enterprise groups and intensive production in the industry are taking shape. Larger enterprise groups use their capital, technology, brand, reputation and other advantages, through capital export, low-cost expansion, reorganization, mergers, leasing and other forms, are continuing to grow bigger and stronger. With the user as the goal, it adopts a follow-up layout throughout the country, such as O.R.G. and Hangzhou COFCO Meite as the representatives, and become the industry leaders. ...

Some medium-sized enterprise groups have achieved rapid development, mainly based on the advantages of the company's product market share, relying on the comprehensive strength of the company, with the product as the center of the circle, the user's demand as the radius, and the rational distribution of points in different regions of the country, which has become metal packaging. The backbone of the country. For example, Shenzhen Huate has established branches in Shanghai and Tianjin to occupy the market of high-end gift boxes and art cans in big cities; Jiangsu Huayuan Company uses its unique management model, strong product development and mold design and manufacturing capabilities to adapt to chemical cans, miscellaneous There is a market demand for multiple specifications, multiple varieties, and small batches of cans, and 60% of the products are exported to foreign markets. A branch company has been established in a certain southwestern province. Occupy the high and mid-range miscellaneous cans market; according to its product characteristics, Shandong Lipeng Company has the ability to develop equipment and mold development and manufacture, and target the aluminum anti-theft cover for wine bottle sealing. It has established a branch in Sichuan, which is rich in wine. A great success. ...

The survey results show that many companies attach importance to technological progress and technological development, create branded products with independent intellectual property rights, win users, win the market, and adopt a connotative development model. For example, there are more than 80 engineering and technical personnel engaged in product development and mold development in Zhejiang Yiwu Yikaigai Company. Recently, they have spent more than 7 million yuan to introduce a set of internationally advanced metal cutting machine tools from abroad to improve mold processing. Ability and precision, the product has created a brand with independent intellectual property rights, with an annual output of nearly 1 billion easy-open lids, 50% of which are exported, and good economic benefits are obtained. Another example is Suzhou Slack Precision Equipment Co., Ltd., with its talent advantages in high-tech product development, successfully developed an easy-opening automatic production line, obtained a number of patents, filled the domestic gap, and broke the situation of relying on imports for many years. These awards have been applied in some domestic easy-open cover manufacturers and exported to some countries in Southeast Asia. ...

It can be seen from the survey that some practical problems in the metal packaging industry cannot be ignored: one is that there are too many small companies, most of which are technologically backward, the quality of employees is not high, the product quality is low, and the resource consumption is large; the second is that most companies in the industry The ability of independent innovation is not strong, and the level of product development and technology research and development is not high, and there is a large gap with the international advanced level; third, there is a serious shortage of professional and technical personnel; fourth, all kinds of information are not smooth.
