Have you heard of the "invisible champion"? Why is the "champion" still "invisible"?
The so-called invisible champion refers to the invisible world champion enterprises in the basic fields of manufacturing basic components (components), basic materials, industrial software and industrial Internet.
"Invisible" means that the main product parts (components), materials or software of an enterprise are "invisible" inside the terminal product, which is not easy to be discovered and attracts attention.
"Champion", refers to the invisible world champion (or top three in the world).
The Hidden Champion is a world-class "specialized little giant".
This concept originated from Hermann Simon, a famous German economist and management scientist. He believed that a hidden champion should have three criteria: (1) the top three companies in the world or the first company on a certain continent; (2) Companies with a turnover of less than EUR 5 billion; (3) Companies that are not well known.
Not long ago, at the 2018 High-end Equipment Alliance Annual Meeting and the Belt and Road Entrepreneurs Summit held in Xuyi, Jiangsu, member of the National Manufacturing Power Construction Strategy Advisory Committee, former vice president of the China Machinery Research Institute, and director of the Manufacturing Research Office of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Qu Xianming pointed out that China has become the world's largest manufacturing country, but it is not a manufacturing power, but a weak country in terms of quality and brand. China lacks a group of world-renowned brands that represent good quality. This is the main bottleneck to be solved by "Made in China 2025", and vigorously cultivating the world's invisible champion enterprises is an important task of building a manufacturing power!
At the scene, he gave many examples of "hidden champions", such as: Yinchuan Little Giant Machine Tool Co., Ltd., which is a wholly-owned company of Japan's MAZAK, one of the world's leading machine tool manufacturers. This is a company that emphasizes the "artisan spirit" very much. All workers in key positions will be sent to the Japanese factory for 3 months of on-the-job training with meticulous care; all CNC systems and functional components are made of high-quality products, and this super brand has been successfully created. .
Haiyan Hengfeng is a private enterprise famous for its complex knives such as broaches. The founder, Chen Errong, has worked hard for more than 20 years and always adheres to the policy of quality first. Their motto is "For users, improve their work, sharpen their tools, and improve Progress, long-term satisfaction, and create a famous brand". The extra-large gear broach produced by Hengfeng is 3 meters long and 350 mm in diameter. It is the first in China and rare in the world. It is known as the "Knife King". This is already a veritable "champion".
