China has ranked first in global hardware production and consumption for many years in a row, but if we want to truly tear off the manufacturing label of "world factory", we must work hard to align with international standards.

Focus on the rise of China's high-quality industrial belt, record the overseas journey of related companies in the industrial belt, witness the hand in hand between Amazon and Chinese sellers, and take you to appreciate the transformation of China's industrial belt from "overseas OEM" to "independent transformation", from "barbaric From "growth" to "deep cultivation and long-term development", the butterfly changes and takes off.

Today, let us first walk into Zhejiang Hardware Industry Belt, one of the industrial belts.

According to legend, in ancient times, Emperor Xuanyuan set up a village in Shicheng Mountain in the south of Yongkang City, casting copper tripods and weapons. Some craftsmen stayed here and lived here with their casting skills. This is the "root" of Yongkang hardware culture .

Swords were cast in the Spring and Autumn Period, crossbow machines were made in Han Dynasty, and bronze guns were cast in Tang Dynasty … Hardware skills have been passed down from generation to generation in Yongkang, forming an enduring "artisan culture" that has been integrated into the bones and blood of Yongkang people. "The blazing fire reflects the sweat, wandering through the streets and alleys" is the true portrayal of Yongkang hardware craftsmen.

With profound craftsmanship and a long history, this handcrafted culture, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has given birth to excellent prerequisites for the birth of Yongkang Hardware Industrial Belt.

At the end of the 1980s, there were 40,000 Yongkang craftsmen engaged in small hardware skills. However, although there are many "famous craftsmen", it is difficult to scale up. It was not until 1992 that Yongkang was withdrawn from the county city and began to build the China Science and Technology Hardware City. The focus of development shifted to industry, and the opportunity belonging to Yongkang Hardware really came.

In the past 30 years of development, "modern hardware" based on eight major industries, including electric tools, cup industry, door industry, electrical appliances and kitchen utensils, equipment manufacturing and new materials, has been introduced one after another. Yongkang's hardware industry has accumulated a solid foundation, and the advantages of the industrial belt have become increasingly prominent. Yongkang has also completed the transformation from the traditional hardware industry to the modern economic system.

From "carrying around the world" to "business all over the world", Yongkang's seagoing began with the OEM processing of export-oriented enterprises. In order to seek longer-term development, the transformation of branding to sea is imperative. Grasping the opportunity of transformation and going overseas with the model of "factory + cross-border e-commerce", at present, Yongkang Hardware has become the largest export base of hardware products in the country, and its products sell well in 194 countries and regions around the world. Relying on the outstanding advantages of the industrial belt, 11,300 Yongkang cross-border e-commerce companies are active all over the world. Yongkang is moving step by step from "China Hardware Capital" to "World Hardware Capital" 2 .

As a leading enterprise in the manufacture of cups and pots, Hals upholds the spirit of craftsmanship to polish products, and accelerates the cultivation of independent brands, exploring and expanding new markets.

After opening Amazon Enterprise Purchase, Hals's B-end business has grown significantly, and it directly sells products to end-enterprise purchasers. The longevity of the goods is more conducive to Hals' dual-track layout at the C-side and B-side at the same time.

Crown Tools, which is also located in the Yongkang Industrial Belt, is a company that has been deeply involved in the hardware tool industry for 25 years. It started as an OEM in the early days, and then began a brand transformation. When the offline hardware tool market in Europe and the United States is basically monopolized by foreign brands, Crown has created an online global brand through Amazon, opening up new opportunities for development. Crown has also fulfilled its promise of "being the Chinese people's own electric tool brand".

In the process of overseas development, through Amazon's data reports, Crown was able to accurately locate consumer groups, and optimize and adjust products according to consumer demand preferences at different sites and Amazon's user feedback. In order to meet the different needs of consumers for power tools in different usage scenarios, Crown has extended its diversified categories to provide users with better product services and consumption experience.

Now, Crown ranks among the best in China's tool industry, and its products sell well in more than 30 countries and regions in Europe, Asia, America, and Australia.
