Developing mechanical industries in Quang Ninh

Quang Ninh is not only famous for its coal mining, seaports, and tourism, but also its mechanical engineering industry, which is emerging as an essential link in the province's industrial chain.

Many mechanical enterprises have modernized production by increasingly using robots in the process.

In particular, the Coal industry has the largest contribution, with a great demand for conveyor equipment, compressors, chassis, cranes, etc. Quang Ninh owns many seaports to serve international and domestic trade, which has promoted the demand for chassis production, steel structures, and mechanics for loading and unloading and building new means of transport.

Facilities for manufacturing, repairing and assembling equipment, mechanical engineering for the coal, port, infrastructure construction and tourism industries have opened up enormous development potential. In the past 5 years alone, the province has promoted industrial development planning, expanded industrial parks, and especially focused on adding technical infrastructure to serve the mechanical industry. These are fundamental steps to prepare for a modern, high-tech mechanical industry in the locality. Quang Ninh has also created a stable investment environment, attracting mechanical enterprises with clean technology.

However, at present, mechanical enterprises are mainly small establishments, with many workers having ordinary qualifications. Mechanical activities, especially processing and welding, emit dust and exhaust fumes, which, if not well controlled, will be harmful to the environment. Some domestic enterprises are mostly small in capital and lack resources to invest in modern machinery such as robots and automatic production lines, leading to low productivity, high production costs, and difficulty in competing when expanding the market.

Therefore, to further develop the mechanical engineering industry, Quang Ninh needs to build a mechanical engineering training center in conjunction with technical colleges and universities to train in automation and robot programming. At the same time, encourage businesses to upgrade machinery, operate digital processes, develop industrial electricity, regional ports, roads to industrial parks with mechanical factories to connect production - consumption - export, build a mechanical engineering value chain, produce auxiliary components for the coal, seaport and construction industries.

Hon Gai Mechanical Joint Stock Company - Vinacomin is a typical example of the development of the mechanical industry in Quang Ninh, from a traditional factory of over 100 years old to a joint stock company that is creative and proactive in innovating management to increase productivity and income for workers. In the coming time, the Company will continue to apply an open management model, increase the initiative and creativity of management workers, contributing to good management and high efficiency.

In addition, the Company will maintain repair services, products in production, introduce new products to the market, regularly research domestic market products using imported goods for testing and launching to the market, prepare well the conditions to participate when the market changes and according to customer requirements. At the same time, cooperate with domestic mechanical units to diversify products, find links with foreign partners to manufacture equipment products with high technical and added value.

The province also has preferential policies on land, taxes, and green credit for businesses investing in technological innovation. Therefore, Quang Ninh can fully expect that in the next 10 years, the mechanical industry can contribute 10-15% of the local industrial value, creating thousands of more technical and high-level jobs, limiting manual labor.

In general, the mechanical industry in Quang Ninh is at an important turning point based on taking advantage of the potential and advantages of its geographical location and the great demand from the basic economic sectors. Along with the momentum of development from sustainable investment policies, Quang Ninh will certainly build a strong, branded mechanical industry, connecting both domestically and regionally.

Mr. Ha Van Hien, former Secretary of Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee: "Mechanical engineering enterprises have created momentum for development"

Previously, mines could not repair themselves and most of them were brought to mechanical factories for repair. Later, mines all had on-site repair workshops. The challenges of the market economy mechanism and the change in the production structure of the coal industry have put the mechanical industry in front of many new challenges, forcing it to invest in innovation. I think that, in the development process of Quang Ninh province, enterprises of all economic sectors, including mechanical enterprises in the coal industry, have truly been the driving force for development. Mechanical workers always follow strict standards and procedures. From this, the mindset of mechanical workers is formed. For mechanics, this also directly affects their production results, safety, and the trust of their customers... From a technical officer and then through many positions, the time living, working and being attached to mechanics and miners has helped me learn a lot about discipline, precision, logical thinking and creativity in work.

Mr. Pham Anh Tuan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hon Gai Mechanical Joint Stock Company: "The perception of the mechanical engineering industry has changed"

Through visiting mechanical exhibitions abroad, we have seen that people are switching from using steel to plastic materials. We have changed direction and have recently successfully produced high molecular plastic in tubular form and plastic roller products. In the future, we will continue to produce high molecular plastic products in sheet form as raw materials to manufacture mechanical products instead of steel. We want to change the traditional view that mechanical products must be iron and steel. This plastic product has a wider coverage, customers are not only in the underground mining and screening industries but also in the petrochemical and food processing industries, and can eventually be used to make plastic machine parts. We believe that we must stand up from our own strength, from domestic production. Many units are in great need of goods manufactured in Vietnam because they are proactive and the cost of domestic products is lower than imported goods. Based on the successful manufacturing and repair products that have brought efficiency in production and business, we focus on target markets, mainly underground production units, screening to repair equipment, mechanized spare parts in underground mining, hydraulic systems...

Mr. Pham Minh Tuan, Director of Vinacomin Machinery Manufacturing Joint Stock Company: "Improving production capacity, manufacturing many types of mechanical products with high precision"

Mechanical engineering is one of the important fields of the processing and manufacturing industry. Our main task is to manufacture and repair equipment, spare parts, and mechanical products for the coal industry and other economic sectors. We strive to manufacture localized products for use in the coal industry, in the province and domestically. With many specific solutions, we focus on investing in innovation, advanced and modern equipment such as CNC processing machines for high productivity, quality and precision, not only meeting the needs of the Vietnamese coal - mineral industry but also manufacturing many products for other economic sectors. At the same time, the mechanical industry must promote the movement of promoting initiatives and technical improvements. There have been many outstanding initiatives by cadres, workers, and laborers, improving the quality of human resources; strengthening and improving the effectiveness of applying mechanization, automation, computerization, and digital transformation.

Mr. Pham Van Trung, Hon Gai Mechanical Joint Stock Company: "Mechanical workers get to work in an increasingly modern environment"
The leadership's viewpoint is to use the skills and creativity of workers to position the mechanical industry brand. Therefore, the initiatives of our workers and employees are always highly valued by the leadership. Currently, we are all working in a modernized environment, the factory has invested in a lot of modern equipment, such as: Spring production lines, expansion nets, rollers, cutting machines, lathes...

Therefore, workers themselves must also update their knowledge to master science and technology, propose solutions to rationalize production so that the lines operate as efficiently as possible. A worker can operate several devices at the same time, so that the useful working time of the device can be maximized, labor productivity can be increased, and electricity and labor costs can be greatly reduced. Working in a modern, dynamic environment also helps each worker to always be enthusiastic and enthusiastic about work.
