Implementing institutional innovation is the only way for China's valve

China's valve industry has now produced more than a dozen major products. Such as gate valve, globe valve, ball valve, butterfly valve, safety valve, check valve, throttle valve, plug valve, pressure reducing valve, diaphragm valve, trap valve, emergency shut-off valve, etc., the maximum operating temperature is 570°C, the lowest is -196°C. The highest pressure 600MPa, the maximum diameter of 5350MM. Although these products have effectively supported domestic economic construction, we should be soberly aware that most of our products are of general technical content or labor-intensive products, and rarely have world leading standards.

Recently, the bidding for the West-East Gas Pipeline, the failure of China's valve companies is a regrettable fact. Painful thinking. In order to revitalize the valve industry, the national industry must implement technological innovation and adjust the product structure. It is imperative to develop and develop valve products with high technological content and high international value for labor added value, such as control valves and automatic valve control valves. Combine flow wide, three-way diverter valve, safety valve; ball valve metal hard seal all welding, high-parameter large diameter valve; and power plant supercritical C12-A alloy steel valve. There are several ways to implement technological innovation to research and develop new products. The first is through cooperation with institutions of research institutions, such as the recent Kaifeng High Pressure Valve Factory and the "Three-dimensional" company affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences jointly developed the main boiler steam control valve is the product with international advanced level, its "pressure drop" is much lower than international Standards have great prospects in the power station industry. Second, the form of foreign cooperation or technology introduction shortens the gap between our ball valve products and foreign countries. In addition to the above practices, qualified companies can independently research and develop.

Improve enterprise management level, implement management innovation, deepen enterprise reform, and implement institutional innovation China's current valve industry is in a new round of alternation and reorganization.

The proportion of state-owned enterprises has declined year by year, and private and foreign-funded enterprises have developed rapidly. According to incomplete data, China’s current share of the valve industry’s assets is 40% privately owned, 30% state-owned, and the rest occupied by foreign-funded and military-owned enterprises. It is expected that the share of private and foreign-funded enterprises will expand further in the next few years. Now private enterprises in Wenzhou have developed rapidly, and a considerable number of companies have a certain scale and strength, such as Bethel, Yong Yi, Zhejiang Wei Duoli and other enterprises. At present, the state-owned enterprises in the industry are burdened with heavy burdens due to historical reasons, the mechanism is not alive, and operating difficulties, but many companies still have the advantages of equipment, talents, technology, brand, etc.; to solve the immediate difficulties through deepening reforms and institutional innovations, and fully revitalize existing assets, Diversify property rights and establish a modern enterprise system. For the rapid development of private enterprises, although there are no institutional defects and historical burdens, the development process should focus on the improvement of the level of enterprise management, implementation of management innovation, to avoid falling into the "family" and "patriarchal" management habits. In short, the valve industry is full of hope. As long as we take the spirit of the “16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China” as our guide and fully implement the “three represents” thinking, we will be able to revitalize the valve industry and make contributions to China’s economic development and the realization of a well-off society.
