3 strong dominate the end of history

     The world's rubber machinery 33 strong (see bottom right table) were selected based on 2007 sales rankings. German HF sales revenue reached 2.9 billion U.S. dollars, the growth rate of 32.2%, emerging as the world rubber machinery head a top spot, and widened the gap with second place. Netherlands Fei Mai (VMI) has annual growth rate of 11.5%, and the second within a whisker of Japan's Kobe Steel. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries fell 19.9%, ranking slipped to fifth place, with the match in Tianjin, China, as a considerable. This means that by the German HF, Kobe Steel and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan dominated the world's top three rubber machinery manufacturing history has ended.

     In addition, Continental Machinery Co., Ltd. to 56.5% growth rate ranked eighth last year, squeezed from the fourth, the development momentum can not be belittled. The previous 33 strong rubber machinery companies, China has 11, Germany 7, Japan 4, United States 2, Italy 2, Austria 2, Netherlands 2, France 1, India 1, Finland 1 . The world's rubber machinery sales income over 100 million U.S. dollars there are five, from 50 million to 100 million U.S. dollars in business over 16 and other 12 companies the sales revenue from 25 million to 50 million U.S. dollars between. The world behind the rubber machinery business with the top five gap is not significant.

     Horizon of large companies

     With the world tire industry in the past few decades compared to a high concentration, rubber machinery industry concentration, slightly less than, the former top ten's share is only one-third of total sales. But from last year, the world's rubber machinery industry mergers and co-movements began to rise.

     The most typical HF to the number of German companies, which through the acquisition of Italian Pomini company, established in the world market leader in rubber machinery. China Machinery Co., Ltd. through the acquisition of Matador's sales revenue grew 56.5%, ranking from eighth into the top four. Another is the rapid growth of India Larsen & Toubro, the company's growth rate was 53.8%, ranking from last year's No. 19 up to No. 12. The company has acquired Universal Group, rubber machinery parts, contributed a larger portion of its sales revenue.

     At present, China Chemical Industry Group, the restructuring of the ongoing professional operation, a subsidiary of Guilin rubber machine, Yiyang Rubber and rubber-controlled Chinese reunification allocated to the China National Chemical Equipment Corporation. China National Chemical Equipment Corporation, if the company's total statement by three ranking, has entered the world's top three rubber machinery.

     China to top the list for four consecutive years

     Ranked by sales revenue in the year 2007 the world's rubber machinery 33 strong, China has a total of 11 companies the list, of the total seats 1 / 3. Saixiang, Guilin rubber machine, rubber self-control and so on three Chinese enterprises to squeeze into the top ten, points out in the sixth, seven, nine. Dalian Rubber & Plastics, Yiyang Rubber & Plastics, Qingdao University of soft control, Beijing dedication, Beijing Aeronautical Manufacturing Research Institute, Shanghai Jing Yuan, Taiwan's three free trade machinery, rubber and Design Institute Guilin breakdown 13,15,16,25,27,28, 30,33 bit, once again demonstrated the Chinese rubber machinery industry in the international status and influence.

     The global share of China's rubber machinery 24% over the region ranks second place 6 percentage points higher than in Western Europe, topped the list 4 consecutive years. Due to the rapid development of rubber machinery, China's manufacturers more global, the formulation of strategic services in every corner of the global market. Meanwhile, the world's rubber machinery manufacturers continue to expand in China, joint ventures, wholly-owned enterprises and technical cooperation efforts. The world's rubber machinery centers to China is accelerating the pace of the transfer.

     A good year is expected to continue to

     The report shows that the world's rubber machinery industry in the development of strong momentum will continue until at least 2009. Sustained and rapid development of major industries were as follows: China and India, demand has been strong in North America and the strong rebound in the Japanese market, while demand in Western Europe continued to grow. South America and the Middle East, sales decreased, mainly large-scale investment projects in these areas has already been completed, while new projects have yet to keep up with. Central Europe and Southeast Asia are showing momentum for stable development.

     North America, Japan and Western European markets tires and other rubber products manufacturer expansion of existing plants, so that these areas of rubber machinery demand growth over 20%. The North American market 35% of the sales growth rate in the region marked a 6-year-old stagnation or decline is over. North America in recent years will continue to expand production, this round of investment boom has the potential to reproduce sales peak in 2001. Japan and North America are experiencing a similar rehabilitation rise, the growth rate up to 30%, but lower than from 2001 to 2005 the annual sales revenue.

     India rubber machinery sales rose 31 percent to 1.86 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 6% of global share. As the project have launched a new tire, rubber machinery market in the region continue to be optimistic. India's imports tend to tire manufacturers, the market in the West some of the main rubber machinery manufacturers occupy a certain share. Last year, India imported rubber machinery equipment, is about more than doubled over the previous year, imports from China increasing the proportion of rubber machinery.
