In the past four years, the country has implemented the last two years of the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" and the first two years of the "Tenth Five-Year Plan". These four years are the four years in which the glass packaging container industry has been linked to the past four years. The industry is also at a crucial turning point. During these four years, enterprises in the glass packaging industry have made certain achievements in persisting in economic construction as the center, deepening enterprise reform, establishing a modern enterprise system, and improving economic efficiency. The adjustment of the industry structure has made positive progress. Some companies have achieved asset optimization through mergers, reorganizations, acquisitions, bankruptcies and other measures, and have achieved good economic results. The ownership structure and the enterprise structure have been further adjusted. The quality of products has been improved, exports have increased substantially, technological progress and equipment levels have increased significantly, and a firm step has been taken on the road to industrial upgrading and sustainable development, laying a solid foundation for the industry's future growth.
First, the overall economic growth of the glass packaging container industry is slightly higher According to the statistical data of all state-owned and annual non-state-owned enterprises with annual sales of 5 million yuan or more in the national statistics bureau, the total production of daily glass in China was 6.44 million tons in 2002. Compared with 5.66 million tons in 1998, an increase of 14%, with an average annual growth rate of 3.5%; in 2002, the output of glass thermal insulation containers was 303 million, compared with 271 million in 1998, an increase of 11.8%, with an average annual growth rate of 2.95. %. During this four-year period, the output of the industry is basically in a low-speed growth state. The main reason is that the effective demand is insufficient and the supply structure does not meet the changes in market demand. However, it is basically consistent with the forecast of the “10th Five-Year Plan” for development.
II. Further Adjustment and Improvement of the Ownership Structure Although the output growth rate of the industry is not high, the growth of economic quality and benefits is not obvious, but the ownership structure and regional structure of the industry have changed greatly.
Our glass packaging container industry is a small industry in the entire national economy and belongs to the industry where the state holds large, medium, and small enterprises. The large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in the industry have initially established a modern enterprise system through reforms, reforms, and other forms, and emerged a number of advantageous enterprises that are competitive, dynamic, and competitive. Such as: Qingdao Jinghua Glass Factory and Qingdao Guanghua Glass Factory were established as Qingdao Jinghua Glass Co., Ltd.; Texas Jingfeng Glass and Zhenhua Glass, Texas Cement Factory achieved strong and strong combination, and established the Dezhou Jinghua Group; Nanjing Glass Factory and Tianjin Glassware Factory was merged by Shandong Linuo Group to form Linuo Glassware Group; Wuxi Hezhong Glass Factory and Guangdong Jiangmen Glass Factory were respectively acquired and leased by Taiwan Huaxia Glass Company; Guangdong Nanhai Huaxing Glass Co., Ltd. acquired Wuzhou, Guangxi The annual production capacity of glass factory and Hubei Daye Glass Factory has reached 420,000 tons; ACI Australia and Shanghai Aolian Glass Company, Guangdong Aolian Glass Company and Tianjin Glass Mould Company have joint ventures and absolute control; Shandong Huapeng Glass Co., Ltd. Acquired Liaoning Liaoyang Glass Factory, New Shandong Huapeng Heze Glass Co., Ltd. and so on. These are state-owned glass manufacturing enterprises that have adopted a series of measures such as reform and restructuring to realize the optimal allocation of assets, form a large glass group, and enhance the company's core competitiveness. Through the adjustment of the ownership structure of the industry in the past few years, purely state-owned enterprises within the industry have basically withdrawn. Sole proprietorships, joint ventures, and private economies will play an increasingly important role in the entire industry.
The overall status of the industry is that the public-owned economy has enhanced its competitiveness in adjustments and reforms. The privately-owned and privately-owned non-public sectors of the economy have developed rapidly and have played an important role in developing the economy, invigorating the market, and expanding exports. Foreign capital is accelerating its entry into our industry in various forms.
In the course of further adjustment and improvement of the ownership structure, the regional structure of the industry has also undergone corresponding changes. The glass packaging container industry is still an industry with excess production. The internal competition in the industry is further aggravated. It is constrained by cost factors and national environmental protection policies. In recent years, the industry enterprises have mainly concentrated on areas where energy or raw materials are cheap, labor is cheap, and supporting industries are concentrated. Transfer. The changes in the regional structure of the industry are mainly reflected in the increase in the concentration of industrial production; the expansion of the production scale of enterprises and the rapid increase in the absolute number of enterprises with an annual production scale of more than 50,000 tons.
In 1998, there were only about 5 enterprises with an annual output of 100,000 tons, and at the end of 2002, there were about 15 enterprises with an annual output of 100,000 tons or more in the industry. From this point of view, the scale of the company has grown, which has improved the company's anti-risk ability and scale effect, and the industry's production intensive degree has been improved.
Third, the pace of technological progress in the industry has accelerated, but the overall technological progress is not obvious The industry's technological progress has been a concrete manifestation of the progress of the industry. In recent years, the overall technology of the industry has progressed, with the improvement of the level of glass machinery and equipment, the improvement of product quality in the mold and refractories industry, and the promotion and application of a series of new technologies adopted to improve the quality of glass melting. The technical progress of the industry. For example, in Shandong Province, the largest production area of ​​glass containers, a number of advanced molding equipments and testing equipments have been newly introduced in recent years. New technologies and new materials have been used to transform and new energy-saving and environmental protection types have been built. Glass furnaces strongly promote glass melting, molding, and energy-saving technological advances in kilns. Although there have been advancements in industry technology, the overall level of technology is very different from that of the international industry.
At present, most of the small and medium-sized enterprises in our industry have changed their systems. Technical problems are weak, poor basic management, low product quality, and inconsistent quality are the major problems that restrict the development of enterprises. The enterprise does not have core competitiveness, and the profitability of the general-purpose product produced is very small, and it is unable to upgrade and reform the equipment, and it cannot promote the technological progress of the enterprise. It is still a daunting task to promote the technological progress of the industry for a considerable period of time in the future. (To be continued)
