From the speech of Wang Longhe,we notice that the environmental protection is the biggest problem for global casting buyers and suppliers,FSC according to the feedback from suppliers members and recent year’s research,find that global casting procurement has the following features:

Visited the booth of Laizhou Huiyuan Machinery Co.,Ltd.

2. Inland mid-and-low-end orders are moving to Southeast Asia,Eastern Europe,South America and other regions.

Purchasers visited the auto parts samples of CRRC Changzhou Auto Parts Co., Ltd.

3.  Environmental protection policy is beneficial to quality foundry
Because of the environmental protection, the production capacity of small and medium-sized inland foundry is reduced,and we can’t see the new strength.Therefore,it is more difficult for overseas buyers to find suitable suppliers for multi-variety, small-batch and discontinuous orders. .At present, the relationship between global buyers and quality foundries changes slightly, and quality foundries occupy a dominant position.

4. Foundry should be worried about that downward trend of casting orders.
FSC has always been concerned about the downstream enterprises of casting,and after a long research from the downstream industry and our purchasers’ members,we find that the purchase orders from European&American manufacturing industries will cut down in the next year or so,this phenomenon should let us alert.Domestic foundries must prepare well in advance,avoiding to cause a loss to your enterprises.In this conference,many buyers also had the same views as FSC:
Among purchasers,Mr.Ken Lu from Danfoss Group made a presentation during the conference.He pointed out overseas enterprises face four challenges:environmental policy,overall cost(material,labor,energy,etc),LCC and market trend;And made four suggestions for inland foundry enterprises including:policy compliance,efficiency improvement,tech upgrade and be competitive.Besides,he expressed he is very worried about the downturn in the downstream casting market in the future.
