Leading by the Standards Committee of the China Die and Mold Association, representatives from 18 major mold standard parts manufacturers and die steel sales companies recently gathered in Suzhou and reached an agreement on how to deal with the grim situation of the high price of die steel at present and in the near future. consensus.

According to the relevant personnel of mold steel supplier Xiongfeng Special Steel Co., Ltd., due to the export of special steel prices higher than the domestic market, coupled with the policy of export refund value-added tax, leading to the domestic special steel mills in the sale to the export tilt For example, Fushun Special Steel exports about 60% of its products, further exacerbating the tight supply and demand relationship. Although steel distributors now give 40% advance payment to steel mills five to six months in advance, they are still unable to obtain goods upon request. The steel price is running at a high level across the board. The 45th is about 7,000 yuan per ton, which has doubled in two years. The metal molybdenum has sold 800,000 yuan per ton. The two-year price increase is nearly 10 times, and the price of molybdenum steel also rises.

The mold standard enterprises attending the meeting also generally reflected that the price of steel has risen by 37% in one year, which has led to a rise in the cost of mold standard parts. However, there is little room for product price increase, resulting in overburdened enterprises and difficulties in operations. In response to this situation, many companies have taken active measures to respond, such as further improving product quality, grasping the passing rate of finished products, tapping internal potential, and reducing various kinds of consumption, improving services, and pursuing the understanding and support of the mold companies they support. The results are good.

Regarding the trend of steel prices in the future, everyone agrees that with the rapid economic development of our country, resource shortage is a long-term phenomenon and will continue to increase.

Industry experts also pointed out that in the current situation, mold standard parts companies must pay more attention to product quality, only product quality goes up, in order to sell a good price; have their own scale costs, in order to set sales prices based on production capacity, the price is dynamic It changes with the market and its own capacity. In addition, we must realize that the mold standard parts companies are both competitors and partners in the market. Only by complementing each other to cultivate the market, can we safeguard the long-term interests of the industry and achieve common development.
