The driving effect of vehicle enterprises is synergistic, integrating upstream, midstream, and downstream innovation
In the R&D laboratory of Weihai Gengxin Composite Material Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Gengxin Composite"), R&D personnel are developing aerogel adhesive with light weight, small physical size and good thermal insulation performance according to the needs of Guangtai Technology.
Lightweight is the future development direction of the automotive industry. Compared to traditional car models, carbon fiber structured RVs can reduce their own weight by 30%, with broad prospects. As one of the first enterprises to settle in the park, Gengxin Composite Materials is mainly engaged in the research, design, and production of carbon fiber composite materials and recreational vehicles. Its developed carbon fiber composite materials have become the "favorite" of Guangtai Technology's equipment lightweight improvement.
While vigorously attracting upstream and downstream supporting enterprises, we are also guiding established enterprises to enrich their product structure. Jiamei Chemical originally focused on marine engineering coatings, but considering the development of the Lingang special vehicle industry, the company has begun to develop towards automotive coatings and now focuses on researching and developing higher value-added products.
Our production is shifting towards areas such as fire-resistant coatings for special vehicles, focusing on the research and development of small but specialized special coatings. The future production added value is expected to increase by 20% to 30% compared to the past, "said Gao Tingting, Director of the Comprehensive Office of Weihai Jiamei Chemical Co., Ltd.
This is a vivid portrayal of the comprehensive rise of the automotive and parts industry chain in our district, as well as the economic and development efforts of the entire region.
With the rapid development of the industry, the connection between upstream and downstream enterprises in the automotive industry chain is becoming increasingly close. The "snowball" is rolling bigger and the industry is becoming stronger, achieving specialized division of labor, industrial cooperation, and cluster development, forming a competitive advantage of agglomeration development. At present, Lingang District has formed an automobile industry cluster consisting of leading automobile vehicle enterprises such as Guangtai Technology and Black Series, as well as a group of automobile parts production supporting enterprises such as Gengxin Composite, Anderson Composite, and Huafu. It has established multiple industrial design centers, engineering technology research centers, key laboratories and other scientific research and technology centers, and its products are exported to European and American countries and regions.
