How about the new tires of Changan Automobile?

Last year, Zheng Xin Rubber ranked ninth among the 75 largest tire companies in the world. Zheng Xin rubber, which has been firmly in the top ten position in the world, is obviously not satisfied with the status quo. Recently, Zheng Xin Rubber Company put forward the vision of becoming one of the top five rubber companies in the world.

In mid-June, Luo Cairen, chairman of Zheng Xin, said that besides the Indian-Indonesian double-printing factory, the second research and development center in Kunshan will also be put into operation. Building D will also be completed by the end of this year. In the future, R&; Building D will continue to expand. At present, the company's business growth momentum is strong, so Zheng Xin is expected to enter the top five global tires in 2026.

Zheng Xin Industry 4.0 At present, the production of Zheng Xin Tire Factory is still semi-automatic, and some operators are still in the computerized stage of manual operation, which has not been fully digitized. Luo Cairen recently announced that he will promote "Industry 4.0". The tire factory under the group will gradually replace the old equipment with new equipment, from the current semi-automation to full automation, and realize the goal of intelligent automation. He expects to achieve the intelligent manufacturing goal of "Industry 4.0" within five years.

However, he believes that there is no need for the company to introduce "robots" to promote production automation. Taking the tire industry as an example, the intelligent automation goal of the factory, that is, the intelligent manufacturing of "Industry 4.0", can only be achieved by changing the manufacturing process, replacing the old equipment with new equipment and introducing automation equipment or technology. The new plan is to promote the intelligent automation of the tire factory, that is, to change the repetitive and simple work of the factory from the current manual operation to the machine operation.

Luo Cairen also said: Industry 4.0 will be implemented in factories in Taiwan Province Province, Kunshan, Xiamen and Thailand this year. By the end of this year, at least one or two intelligent manufacturing lines of Industry 4.0 can be seen.

Zheng Xin Talent Plan In order to achieve the goal of becoming one of the top five tire enterprises in the world in 2026, we are going to recruit a large number of talents. Chairman Luo Cairen said confidently: "We will find 100 doctors this year, and we will find more later." Turning to the annual report of the shareholders' meeting, we can find that Zheng Xin is moving towards this goal. In less than four months, the number of doctor appointments increased from 13 in 20 16 years to 7 1 on March 3 1 7.

Luo Cairen said: Zheng Xin has never liked to expand its scale through mergers and acquisitions. People who like to cultivate their own "positive new culture" must open factories everywhere if they want to become the fifth in the world. It is the key to whether new talents can become bigger and stronger. Although there are almost no doctors in the tire department in Taiwan Province Province, Zheng Xin will begin to look for talents in Taiwan Province Province. A large number of talents from various departments, such as doctors in machinery, can be assigned to Shanghai, Xiamen or Thailand to implement the Industry 4.0 plan.

Of course, Zheng Xin's salary for talents is naturally not low. It is understood that the starting salary of Dr. Zheng Xin is NT$ 60,000 (about RMB 1.3 million), and the annual salary of 1.4 months exceeds NT$ 800,000 (about RMB 1.7 million). If the performance is good, it is not a problem to work for 5 years and earn more than one million yuan a year.

Zheng Xin's current operation is under the new "Double India Plan", and the Indian factory has been put into production. Zheng Xin thinks that the population of India is similar to that of China, and the market size is equivalent to another China, so he is very optimistic about the future of Indian factories. Luo Cairen said: The production of motorcycle tires in Indian factories is only the beginning. Car tires or truck tires will be produced in the future, both of which have a considerable market. It took only one year for the Indian factory to be established and put into production, breaking the group's record. I am very satisfied with this.

It is understood that Zheng Xin India Factory will initially supply orders for Japanese Honda motorcycle tires and Indian hero motorcycle tires, and will increase production every month at the growth rate of "65,438+0,000 tires/day" in the future. The first phase of the Indian factory plans to produce 20 thousand motorcycle tires every day. Liao, general manager of the new factory in India, said that by 2020, the output of motorcycles in the Indian market will increase to 20 million. In the future, motorcycles produced by Indian factories will be exported to Africa and other places, which is beneficial to the development prospects of Zheng Xin Tire Factory.

Regarding the Indonesian factory in the "Double India Plan", Luo said that the Indonesian factory under construction has obtained the equipment import license, is preparing to apply for equipment import, and plans to put into production locomotive tires in the second quarter of next year. Among them, the daily output target of the first motorcycle tire in Indonesia factory is 20 thousand, and it is planned to attack the local repair market first; In addition, the company also negotiated with local Japanese locomotive manufacturers of existing customers on the early operation of OEM tire supply certification.

At the same time, Luo also said: Xiamen Jimei Automobile Tire Factory is a subsidiary. At present, the daily output is10.5 million pieces, and the output growth rate is 70%. In the future, the production capacity will be expanded according to market conditions; The first-phase passenger car tires in Chongqing can produce 25,000 ~ 26,000 tires per day, with an output rate of 85%, which is mainly supplied to joint venture car factories in the Mainland such as Changan Suzuki, Ford and Dongfeng Nissan. At present, the car tires of Kunshan factory have been supplied to Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle tires, and the car tires of Mercedes-Benz and BMW are being newly supplied. These two car factories are still testing.

There are also breakthroughs overseas. GorollaAltis is a hot-selling car produced by Toyota in Taiwan Province Province, and the matching tires equipped with Max are sold to the Middle East. In addition to assembling the spare tire developed by Toyota in North America, it also successfully entered the spare tire of Subaru's main car.

At present, Zheng Xin is the exclusive supplier of Gogoro electric vehicle tires in Taiwan Province Province. With the soaring sales of Gogoro electric vehicles, Zheng Xin's tire shipments increased from 3,000 vehicles per month last year to more than 20,000 vehicles, an increase of more than six times.

On the way forward, Rubber was founded in 1967, and the founder Luo and the second son Luo Cairen were founded in 20 14. At present, there are 12 tire production bases in the world, which are located in China, Viet Nam, Thailand, India and Indonesia. Maggie has more than 33,000 employees worldwide and enjoys an international reputation. Its main products are bicycle tires (the largest output in the world), motorcycle tires (the largest output in the world), agricultural truck tires, truck tires and car tires.

This year marks its 50th anniversary. Luo Cairen said frankly: The world has changed rapidly in recent years, and the change has become the norm. How to throw away the aura of the past has been a difficult problem since he took over.

Luo Cairen recalled: 199 1 year, Zheng Xin set up a factory in Xiamen, Fujian, and the turnover of192 exceeded NT$ 6 billion. At that time, Zheng Xin ranked 16 among global tire enterprises, so it decided to set a goal of entering the top 10 in the world. With the gradual implementation of the global layout of enterprises, by 20 10, the company's annual revenue has exceeded NT$ 10 billion, and it has successfully entered the top global tire enterprises10. The operation of the company will continue to grow, and with the increasingly fierce market competition, the company will set better and more challenging goals. He hoped that Zheng Xin tire would become one of the top five tires in the world in 2026.

Entering the top five in the world is not as simple as lip service. Zheng Xin's consolidated revenue last year was NT$1173.87 million, up 0.57% year-on-year. Luo stressed that in order to enter the top five in the world, the annual comprehensive revenue should at least double, with an annual revenue of about NT$ 200 billion. However, the increase or decrease of the company's income is not only affected by the product price and exchange rate, but also prevents the merger and acquisition of peers. Only in this way can we achieve the set goal of global TOP5 as scheduled.
