In the heart of Zhejiang, there is a place praised as the "hometown of China's mold" - Huangyan. It is not only the birthplace of the molding industry, but also the bright pearl of the seven 100-billion-level industries in Taizhou. After more than 70 years of wind and rain, Huangyan mold industry has grown from a young seedling to a towering tree with lush leaves, firmly sitting in the top position of the national mold production base, and occupies a place in the field of global plastic products processing.
Walking into Huangyan, you will be shocked by the strong industrial atmosphere here. More than 180 mold design, modeling, and programming service companies are like dotted lights, shining on the industrial map of Huangyan. More than 50 die steel distribution and processing enterprises, more than 3,000 mold processing points and supporting businesses, like a vein flowing with industrial blood, will be closely connected to this land. What's more striking is that the country's largest mold production materials market - mold Expo City, like a mold palace, attracting attention from all directions.
Cultivate the echelon of high-quality molding enterprises
Huangyan mold industry cluster has the highest numerical control rate in the country. The numerical control rate of Huangyan mold industry is more than 85%, which is 10 percentage points higher than the national average; It has more than 300 five-axis machining centers, accounting for more than 50% of the equipment in the province's mold manufacturing enterprises; It has nearly 8,000 supporting industrial robots and manipulators. At the same time, the industrial cluster has built the "mold (plastic) industry brain" in Huangyan District under the leadership of the first industry, and has developed 10 application sub-scenarios such as "molding college, mold service, chain finance, mold patent, cross-border transaction" on the mobile terminal, and subdivided 29 business scenarios to provide digital services for the whole industry chain for mold enterprises. At the same time, Taizhou Telecom took the lead in building a mold industry-level industrial Internet platform. Establish a digital application scenario for collaborative manufacturing in the mold industry, among which, "mold to mold" has been successfully included in the third batch of industry cloud application demonstration platforms in the province, opening up the upstream and downstream resource docking channels of the mold industry chain; The "Caiyu Cloud Platform" mold waste oil treatment cloud warehouse applies blockchain technology to provide waste-free treatment services for mold processing; Ecofa Cloud Factory integrates the ecological resources of Huangyan mold industry and provides efficient cloud manufacturing services for mold enterprises in the region.

Huangyan molding industry has a high brand reputation in the market, has formed a product brand, enterprise brand and cluster brand benign interaction and promotion trend, with "China's mold hometown", "national mold industry well-known brand creation demonstration area", "Huangyan plastic mold provincial high-tech industrial base", "National Torch Plan Huangyan plastic mold industry base", "China mold industry upgrading demonstration base" and other titles. In 2017, Huangyan took the lead in releasing the first professional index of the national mold industry - Huangyan China Mold Index, which filled the gap in the mold industry and further enhanced the regional brand influence of Huangyan mold.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Huangyan District Economic and Information Science and Technology Bureau, there are still many deficiencies in the cultivation of Huangyan molding industry clusters in comparison with the advanced areas of Germany, one is to strengthen the industrial policy support, and it is necessary to comprehensively sort out the existing support policies on the basis of the characteristics of the molding industry, research and formulate accurate, scientific and feasible special policies, and form a perfect molding industry support policy system. Promote the implementation and implementation of the industrial cluster cultivation plan with strong measures, and build a working mechanism for the overall planning and linkage of the whole region. Second, the spatial layout of industrial clusters needs to be improved. For areas with obvious block-shaped economies like Huangyan, land supply is difficult to meet the development needs of enterprises, and the cultivation of advanced manufacturing clusters should be based on the perspective of the whole region to coordinate the spatial layout of industrial clusters, and clarify the development of core areas and radiation areas. Third, the innovation system of industrial clusters needs to be improved. At the same time, it is necessary to actively introduce the world's top universities and research institutions in the key areas of industrial clusters, plan to build a high-level industrial technology research institute, provide technical support for the cultivation of industrial clusters, carry out innovation services, accelerate the transformation of achievements, and transport innovative talents, so as to realize the integrated development of industrial chain and innovation chain. Fourth, leading enterprises in industrial clusters need to be further cultivated. The number of enterprises in Huangyan molding industry is low in the total number of enterprises in the industry, and the output value of enterprises is relatively small. The cultivation of local enterprises will be the main driving force for industrial development, focusing on key areas of industrial clusters to carry out regional precise cooperation, and introducing industry leaders; At the same time, it is necessary to give full play to the leading role of leading enterprises in leading demonstrations, and drive the innovation and entrepreneurship of upstream and downstream enterprises by means of joint technology development, first-class chain support, capital investment, business incubation, industrial alliances, etc., so as to form a coordinated development pattern of enterprises with leading enterprises as the core and small and medium-sized enterprises as the main body.
Coordinate the cultivation projects of leading enterprises such as "Eagle Action", "Aircraft Carrier Enterprises", "Flagship Enterprises" and "Top 100 Enterprises", and strengthen the "one enterprise and one policy" to support leading molding enterprises to become bigger and stronger. With Yongning Phoenix College as the starting point, the implementation of the "Phoenix Action", the establishment of enterprise listing support, support the molding backbone enterprises to reform and go public, establish and improve the hierarchical and sub-category, sub-echelon enterprise listing reserve, strengthen the guidance services for enterprises to be listed, and encourage qualified enterprises to speed up the pace of "listing". Fully implement the "Eagle Action", establish a cultivation bank for small and medium-sized molding enterprises, strengthen classified guidance and services, and guide the creation of provincial champions, national specialized and new "little giants" and national manufacturing individual champion enterprises. Actively cultivate a number of new "gazelle enterprises", and accelerate the development of "gazelle enterprises" that have been rated as outstanding in the main industry and strong in core competitiveness.
High-quality construction of Huangyan molding industry innovation service complex, promote the upgrading of Zhejiang molding industry design base, and accelerate the creation of a number of industrial innovation platforms. Deepen industry-university-research cooperation, accelerate the construction of R&D centers and innovation centers in Huangland, where the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and other universities and institutes are located, and promote the joint construction of Zhejiang (Taizhou) Mold and Plastics Industry Research Institute and Taizhou University Mold and Plastics Industry College with Taizhou University, and deepen the linkage development of campus parks. Focus on promoting the application innovation of the molding industry, and strive to create a national and provincial manufacturing innovation center, technological innovation center, and industrial innovation center. Accelerate the integration into the Yangtze River Delta innovation network, and make use of the resources of the "enclave" of Taizhou Shenzhen Innovation Center, Taizhou Shanghai Innovation Center and Hangzhou Future Science and Technology City to create a collaborative innovation mechanism for the incubation of science and technology projects in large cities and the local industrialization of projects.
Create a high-level innovation platform
Recently, Zhejiang issued the "Silk Road Pilot Action Plan for Accelerating the Cultivation of Private Multinational Corporations", and released the list of "Pilot Enterprises" of local private multinational companies in Zhejiang in 2023, with a total of 60 companies on the list, including a number of companies located in Huangyan District.
Experts said that there are a large number of private enterprises in Zhejiang, and the deployment and implementation of the action plan is conducive to promoting more private enterprises to "go global".
According to the relevant person in charge of the Huangyan District Economic and Information Science and Technology Bureau, Huangyan District is fully implementing the "415X" advanced manufacturing cluster cultivation six key action plans, focusing on industrial cultivation, main body introduction and training, and quality improvement.
The first is to cultivate advanced manufacturing industry with the framework of "one high, two new and two linkage". It is clear that high-precision manufacturing (molding base), new health consumption (medical equipment), and green new energy (new generation energy storage) are the leading industries, and the development of digital economy and industrial design will be linked, focusing on the introduction and cultivation of a new generation of energy storage industry, the upgrading of the molding industry, the transformation of the pharmaceutical industry, and the upgrading of the light travel industry. Speed up the revitalization of unused and inefficient land in the mold town, and strive to revitalize more than 100 acres of land to solve the problem of Meiduo, Dianjing and other leading mold enterprises. To promote the upstream and downstream expansion of the mold electromechanical industry, a number of Jingyi (functional film), Hongxin (aluminum wheels), Fengli (harmonic reducer) and so on have been put into production. The introduction of special policies for the research and development of drugs and devices to encourage the development and production of generic drugs, innovative drugs, biological drugs and two or three types of medical devices, Nord Pharmaceutical has won more than 20 drug production certificates, Yongning Pharmaceutical's cefmengdolate sodium for injection has passed the drug consistency evaluation, and the introduction of Shanghai Anyuan Pharmaceutical Science and Technology *** biological drug development project, Zhongke Weiguang Medical laser medical device project, Jimin Medical "prefilled catheter irrigator" (class III), Gongdong medicine ophthalmic anterior chamber puncture device (class II) has been put into production in small batches. Focusing on the industrial design needs of molding enterprises, the molding industrial design base is used as the traction to attract manufacturing and supporting service industries, and has now attracted 23 enterprises and platforms such as Hangzhou Handu and Zhejiang Concave Culture.
The second is to cultivate advanced manufacturing enterprises with enterprise excellence and strong actions as the starting point. Improve the gradient cultivation mechanism of high-quality enterprises, establish a multi-line enterprise echelon cultivation library such as "Provincial Science and Technology Small Enterprises, National High-tech Enterprises" and "Provincial Specialized and Special New Small and Medium-sized Enterprises-National Specialized and Special New Little Giants-Eagle Enterprises", and cooperate with professional service institutions to implement "in and out" dynamic management, classification guidance and precise cultivation to guide the rapid growth of enterprises. 50 national high-tech enterprises have passed the expert review this year; 1 national-level specialized, special and new little giant, 36 provincial-level specialized, special and new small and medium-sized enterprises, 127 innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, and 2 individual champions have been added; Hongxin Technology has completed the listing meeting, and Pinyao and A.D. have been listed.
The third is to create a high-quality development environment guided by quality improvement actions. Implement the "bursting" action of market vitality and the "energy improvement" action of quality brand, and apply for the national mold quality brand promotion demonstration zone. The province's first county-level technical institution has established an industrial measurement and testing center - Zhejiang Molding Industry Measurement and Testing Center. Establish a database of quality and technical assistance experts for mold enterprises, continue to promote the "100,000,000" improvement action of quality management system certification for small and micro enterprises, cultivate 90 enterprises, and cultivate 2 municipal-level benchmarking enterprises for the dual prevention of product quality risks and hidden dangers.
