At the beginning of this year, Lu Binbin, general manager of Yuhuan Runhao Machinery Co., Ltd., made two decisions as soon as possible after the enterprise shut down for more than one month and returned to work due to the pandemic situation: first, to catch up with foreign orders as soon as possible; second, to accelerate the development of the domestic market.
The change in just over a month proved that Lu's decision was correct. Affected by the pandemic situation in Europe and the United States, the order volume of the foreign market in the first quarter decreased by about 10% year-on-year; however, due to the full preparation for the recovery of the domestic market, the domestic order volume of the company in the first quarter increased by about 10% year-on-year.
With the help of a series of policies and measures to support enterprises to return to work and production, more than 1400 foreign trade enterprises in Yuhuan City, like Runhao machinery, actively explore the domestic market to reduce the impact of the global pandemic.
Zhang Changzheng, executive deputy general manager of Zhejiang Wandekai fluid equipment Technology Co., Ltd., introduced that as a water heating valve manufacturer with 100% export of products, Wandekai also faces many uncertainties, especially the requirements of most European customers for delayed delivery, so this year, the company has readjusted its business strategy and turned its attention from abroad to domestic.
This year, Wandekai plans to invest nearly 20 million yuan in the research and development of new products, 10 million yuan in the addition of a batch of new automation equipment, and further tap the potential of the domestic market on the basis of stable foreign trade.
Zhejiang Shuanghuan Transmission Machinery Co., Ltd. achieved rapid growth in sales of construction machinery gears for commercial vehicles, with the output value in the first quarter grew by more than 30% compared with the same period last year. What is the secret for the Shuanghuan company to break through the situation? The answer is diversity. "The key to breakthrough in product R&D transformation. We have laid out a plan to realize the development from the production of traditional fuel car gears to new energy gears, and to enter the domestic wind power, rail transit, and other high-end gear plates, and to seek market efficiency and development. " Li Tushui, deputy general manager.
Facing the new choice of foreign trade enterprises, Yuhuan Municipal Party Committee and Yuhuan Municipal Government continue to implement the "Three Services" activity and the "Eight One" mechanism of supporting workers and benefiting the people, optimize services and strengthen security, let enterprises focus on production and promote development.
Set up a special trade export service team, implement the "order + list" system, and implement precise support; when the products cannot be shipped, actively help coordinate relevant departments, issue passes, and ensure the smooth shipment of the products; in order to solve the difficulty of employment and recruitment, the government helps enterprises to bring back employees from other places; increase the support of credit insurance, and appropriately improve the export enterprises' policy-oriented export credit insurance premium subsidy standard, and constantly expand insurance coverage. At the same time, the relevant departments of Yuhuan also take the initiative to lead the domestic market for foreign trade enterprises and help develop the domestic sales business.
"All kinds of policies issued during the epidemic are to support the development of enterprises. I believe that although the market is affected by the epidemic, it will recover quickly. " Lu Binbin said confidently.
