Weichai Group: Doing a Conservative Warfare "M&A Trilogy" Helps Weichai Dream

From a bankruptcy engine factory to an influential international company in the equipment manufacturing industry, Weichai spent 9 years, sales revenue from 10 billion in 2004 to 100 billion in 2013. From the "outbreak of the three chapters of the reform of the "covenant law" to stimulate the dynamism of the enterprise's innovation and development, to the "two-wheel drive chained development" to embark on a larger stage, the next goal Weichai will strive to achieve the "13th Five-Year" end of sales break 200 billion.

In the Chinese domestic market Weichai owns such well-known brands as Weichai Engine, Fast Transmission, Hande Axle, and Shaanxi Auto Heavy Duty Truck. Standing at the historical point, Weichai has established the "Wuling Chai Dream" that builds a century-old enterprise and enters the world's top 500. Facing the challenges faced by the competition, Weichai successfully completed the "Trilogy" of overseas mergers and acquisitions.

In January 2009, Weichai acquired the French Baudouin company to further expand the full range of engine industry layout. In January 2012, it reorganized Ferretti, the world's largest luxury yacht manufacturer, to expand the group's industrial chain; 2012 In December of this year, strategically reorganizing the German KION Group and Linde Hydraulics, Weichai entered the world's leading forklift market, taking control of the core technical resources of the global hydraulic control system and revolutionizing the long-term reliance on imported high-end hydraulic products in China. The “Special Review Award” for the largest displacement motor boat with a capacity of 2000 tons or more issued by International Yacht Media Publishing Group was seized by CRN 80 meters flagship boat M/Y Chopi Chopi.

“So far, Weichai has established five global operation centers in Chicago, USA, Marseille, France, Foley, Italy, Frankfurt, Germany and Singapore, and established a global R&D center for “five countries and ten places.” Established offices in more than 30 countries. The company has developed more than 400 authorized service stations and its products have been sold to more than 100 countries and regions in the world. The number of engines overseas has reached 250,000 units, heavy trucks have exceeded 100,000 units, and an international marketing and service network has been initially established. At the end of 2015, Chai plans to set up 10 overseas subsidiaries, add more than 140 overseas service stations, and earn more than 30% of its total revenue from overseas operations, said Xu Hong, party secretary of Weichai Group.

Xu Hong believes that the engine business is entirely related to investment promotion, and the risk of macroeconomic impact and constraints is relatively large. High-end consumer goods such as yachts are at the end of the shock wave. Through the acquisition of Ferretti, Weichai’s sensitivity to economic fluctuations will become lower and lower. The merger and acquisition of Ferretti also made Weichai control the world's top yacht brands and the most advanced technologies.

The case of Weichai and KION cooperation is even more sensational. "At present, the global hydraulic system has been monopolized by Germany's Bosch Rexroth, the United States Eaton, Japan Kawasaki and other companies, Linde's Linde hydraulic technology is completely no less technical than these companies. Weichai strategic restructuring Linde hydraulic, the future will promote the world Significant changes have taken place in the development pattern of hydraulic control systems." Tan Xuguang once said. The mastery of core technologies means more opportunities and markets. When Weichai's industrial chain is extended downstream and the hydraulic system is a core component to fully contribute to the development of the industrial chain, it will win absolute competitive advantage for the company.

For the three cases of mergers and acquisitions, Tan Xuguang once made such a summary: Through the acquisition of the French Baudouin company, Weichai has accumulated valuable experience in operating international companies; through the reorganization of the Italian Ferretti Group, Weichai achieved a major breakthrough in structural adjustment. Through the acquisition of Kai Lun Linde Hydraulics, Weichai controls the core technical resources of the global hydraulic control system. And it is this "trilogy" that has enabled Weichai to achieve a leap from its domestic layout to a global one.

"According to the current market scale, we have selected a market with more than 5,000 units and annual sales of more than 1,000 units. In conjunction with the market environment and resource allocation, we have completed the construction of 10 support service centers this year. The establishment of this service center follows the regional division. The principle is to emphasize its radiation intensity in a certain area, for example, a support service center established in Moscow, Russia, will be able to radiate throughout Russia’s Eastern Europe and even Russia, and a support service center established in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, will be able to radiate Middle East. Ministry of State.” Xu Hong said when it comes to the development of the international market.

Welded Bed Plate For Flanges Of Ship Pipe

The flange welded single-sided seat plate is mainly installed on the top, side wall and bottom of the cabin or cabinet as the entrance and exit of the cabin or cabinet. Valves, accessories or pipes can be installed directly on the single-sided seat plate.

Flange welded single-sided seat plate is suitable for seawater, fresh water, oil, air and steam pipelines below 300 °C. The commonly used nominal diameter is 15~150 mm, and the nominal pressure is lower than 1.6 MPa. The shape of the single-sided seat plate is similar to the corresponding lap-welded Steel Flange.

Flange welded double-sided seat plates are generally used when pipelines pass through decks and tanks, and the two sides of the seat plate are respectively connected to valves, accessories or pipes.
Compared with the single-sided seat plate, the double-sided seat plate has an extra shoulder and double-sided mounting stud bolts. The outer diameter of the shoulder is 10~20 mm larger than that of the corresponding flange, and the thickness of the shoulder is 6~12 mm.
Its scope of application and other structural dimensions are basically the same as those of the single-sided seat plate.
The manufacturing and installation methods of the flange-welded double-sided seat plate are basically the same as the single-sided seat plate, but when the screw holes are drawn, the positions of the upper and lower screw holes of the seat plate must be staggered from each other and must not overlap; deck or bulkhead The diameter of the hole on the top is 2~3 mm larger than the diameter of the seat plate.
