In the 1990s, due to the disadvantages of traditional state-owned enterprises, Kaishan got into trouble in the fierce market competition. 1994, Kaishan is the first joint-stock company in Quzhou to be restructured into a state holding company. 1998, when Chairman Cao Kejian bought 40% of the state-owned shares of Kaishan, Kaishan Company was completely privatized. At this time, Kaishan Company was struggling, with annual sales income less than 70 million yuan, annual tax payment less than 1 10,000 yuan, and actual monthly loss of more than 400,000 yuan.
"If you want to win the market, you must take the lead with an iron fist"-after privatization, the company began to improve its governance structure, establish operating rules and reshape its corporate culture. Take an iron fist to get the management of Kaishan back to the normal track. It lasted until 200 1, and the mountain was gradually out of the Woods. In 2002, Kaishan, who had just recovered, began to reposition and think about the future development. At that time, the single low-end product structure and market structure made Cao Kejian, the chairman of the company, feel the crisis. He presciently pointed out: "this development model of' low cost and price' is doomed to be unsustainable; In order to win in the fierce market competition in the future, we must learn from the experience of foreign advanced enterprises, increase added value through technological innovation and management innovation, lengthen the industrial chain, enter new fields, open up new markets, and realize the transformation and upgrading of enterprises. " After more than a year's research, at the end of 2003, Kaishan put forward the "42 1 1" strategy, which is very important for the development of enterprises, and pointed out the future development direction of enterprises from both products and markets. On the road of development, Kaishan has consciously embarked on a road of pursuing "complete manufacturing system, first-class equipment and core manufacturing capability". Since 200 1, Kaishan has established more than a dozen companies through mergers and acquisitions, self-construction, etc., covering many fields from casting, pressure vessels, compressors to construction machinery.
In 2004, the leadership of Kaishan realized that it was the general trend for screw air compressor to replace piston air compressor. However, in order to popularize the screw machine in China, the imported screw machine naturally needs to be localized, and the imported screw machine accounts for a large part of the screw machine cost. Cao Kejian first found an American company and wanted to introduce their technology. However, because of the core technology involved, the foreign company refused the cooperation request of the mountain, which strongly stimulated the chairman Cao Kejian, who was determined to master the core manufacturing technology of the screw host machine himself. At this time, Cao Kejian learned that Xi Jiaotong University was also engaged in screw mainframe and declared the national 863 plan project. In September 2005, Kaishan signed a technology development agreement with Xi Jiaotong University. At the beginning of 2006, Kaishan put forward the slogan of "making the price of screw machine popular". In June 5438+10, the first screw host manufactured by Kaishan rolled off the assembly line. In 2007, Shanghai Lingang Kaishan Industrial Park opened. Up to today, Kaishan has completed the development of full-spectrum screw mainframes from 5.5kw to 355kw, with a basic model of * * * 18, forming a production scale of 2,500 screw mainframes per month, successfully filling the domestic gap. In China market, the price of screw air compressor has dropped from 65,438+0,000 yuan per cubic meter to 5,000 yuan per cubic meter. The first "Pneumatic China Core" saved a lot of purchasing funds for the country.
In the past two years, through technological innovation and transformation and upgrading, Kaishan has achieved a magnificent turn from "scale leading" to "technology leading". Scientific Outlook on Development has been fully reflected in this decade's development. In May, 2009, Dr. Tang Yan, an international top screw compressor expert, joined Kaishan. At the same time, Kaishan North America R&D Center was established in Seattle, USA. "North American R&D Made in China" indicates that Kaishan Group is at the forefront of the compressor industry in the world.
After ten years of privatization, the mountain has undergone a difficult transformation and finally ushered in a phoenix-like rebirth. At present, Kaishan Group is a national large-scale enterprise, which is listed in the "958" science and technology catch-up plan of Zhejiang Provincial People's Government, and the equipment manufacturing industry focuses on cultivating enterprises. At present, it is the largest manufacturer of rock drill in the world, the largest manufacturer of air compressor in China and the largest manufacturer of screw compressor in domestic enterprises, and its products are exported to the United States, Germany, Japan and South Korea. In more than 60 countries and regions such as Russia, Africa and Latin America, enterprises have nearly 1,000 domestic first-class precision machining machine tools, forming a mechanical manufacturing system with advanced technology, first-class equipment and complete structure. At present, the Group has 18 member companies, with more than 4 100 employees and total assets of nearly1800 million yuan. The Group has a perfect marketing network and a high-quality sales service system, mainly producing more than 800 products in 9 series 18, such as rock drills, screw air compressors and down-the-hole drills. Kaishan Group is the first enterprise in the national industry to obtain the title of "China Famous Trademark" and the first batch of enterprises in the compressor industry to obtain the title of national inspection-free products.
10, Kaishan Group developed from an ordinary agricultural machinery repair shop into a large-scale advanced equipment manufacturing backbone enterprise with complete industrial chain, advanced technology, first-class equipment, core technology and high-end product manufacturing. Today's Kaishan leaders have planned a new blueprint: to become a world-class compressor manufacturer in five years, to become a world-class compressor manufacturer in ten years, and finally to build Kaishan into one of the world's compressor manufacturing bases.
