It is well known that Zhongshan lighting industry output value reached 73 billion yuan, accounting for more than 60% market share in China, and it exports $ 4.081 billion us dollar in 2010. Products not only sold well in China, but also exported to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan, the United States and Europe more than 130 countries and regions, and enjoy enjoy greater visibility and reputation.
A manager of a lamp factory said: "Every city has at least two Hardware Lighting Mall, each block has at least more than a quarter of the mall lighting brand from Zhongshan.Many Wenzhou and Fujian business developers opened these Lighting hardware store across the country. "This also allows more people recognize the power of Guzhen Lighting brand.
In recent months, with cost of domestic product,raw materials and labor costs continue to rise, the prices of raw materials before has become a major attemtion of many companies.Some small compaines can not get profit after the rise of cost and get closed and others are seeking ways to keep their competition advantage.
There are a large number of excellent magnetic ballast small lighting companies in the wave of self employment, this wave has added the town's economic vitality, and the continue rise of raw material prices brought them great pressure.
In order to maintain the low price advantage, many manufacturers choose to expand direct sales channels, looking for more advantages purchasing channels, and trying to tap the internal potential to reduce the leakage of raw materials and prevent some staffs carrying materials outof factory illegally.
In this case, some lighting plants decide to import a security gate from the U.S. Rapiscan Metor 6S 1 which has metal detection function. The gate is used to carry out the investigation of staff secretly stealing and selling companies’materials.
It is understood that imported metal detector gate is designed for hardware appliances, t8 ballast electronics factory especially. It is the world's most sensitive security doors, Metor 6 S high sensitivity metal detector designed specifically for ferrous and nonferrous metals found in small projects, such as one-time prison razor, one blade, metal sleeve, keys, detonator caps, handcuffs jewelry,t8 ballast, microprocessor and memory chips. Metor 6 S can even detect the metals that kept in people’s body.
Factory director Wang said, "Right now raw material is rising rapidly, the rising wave is around 0.8 to 1.0 chinese yuan, if it is accurate on kilograms standard before the imports of the security gate. Every month we lost a lot of plant raw materials before, but when management did not follow up as material cost is low at that moment. Now as the U.S. imported Rapiscan systems security doors installed, leakage of raw materials dropped sharply, employees themselves understand this and would like to come over the security door after work off.It’s trully that this security gate is expensive, but we think it’s worthy to buy.”
As far as we know, after the security gate installed, this factory has saved a lot moeny every money from avoiding thives.Now more and more factories decide to buy security gate even some human rights group critize this kind of security.
In the last two weeks, the price of rare earth finally usher in the callback, and this week fell more than 20 percent. But this did not make energy-saving lamp manufacturer relieved. Doctor Wei Zhi said that the fall of rare earth price is just coming from the wave of profit-taking by speculators, and the decreased standard is far less than the previous increase stardard which can not help the manufacturer.
It is understood that this year,affecting by the consolidation of China's rare earth industry, rare earth prices rose five or six times in six months, leading to the rare-earth based triphosphor raw materials prices from 330 yuan per kg in early March rose to 3300 yuan per kg last month,a full ten times.This rise make the energy saving lamp manufacturer suffer a lot preesure on product cost.
