Recently, a deep dialogue about the future of the UK manufacturing industry took placeBochuang UK CompanySuccessfully concluded. We are honored to have invited several heavyweight guests from politics, industry associations, authoritative media, and business to jointly launch a unique roundtable forum aimed at brainstorming and injecting strong momentum into the sustainable development of the UK injection molding industry.
The forum was hosted by Glen Eves, Director of Business Development at Borussia UK, and had a strong lineup of attendees, including:
UK Member of Parliament Sonia Kumar MP
Richard Hird, President of the Polymer Machinery Manufacturers and Distributors Association (PMMDA) in the UK
Mohamed Elkhalifa, Industrial and Public Affairs Manager at the British Plastics Federation (BPF)
● UK Plastics andrubber》BP&R representatives Giulia Daniele and Mandy O'Brien
Industry expert Ali Workman
Mr. Zhu Kangjian, founder and chairman of Bochuang, personally participated in the exchange dialogue and introduced China's economic and policy situation to the legislators.
The forum conducted frank and constructive discussions on the current challenges and future opportunities faced by the UK injection molding industry. Several core issues resonated strongly with the attendees:
Facing the pain points of the aging machine directly
More than 79% of energy-saving potential remains to be developed
According to the guests in attendance, combined with the market situation in the UK, some injection molding companies are still using equipment with a machine age of over 20 years. This not only affects production efficiency, but also brings huge energy waste. Bochuang demonstrated high responsiveness at the meetingservo motorThe huge advantage of technology: Under the same testing conditions, the unit energy consumption has decreased from 1.2 kWh/kg to 0.25 kWh/kg, a reduction of about 79%. This is crucial for enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and achieve green transformation.
Cracking the Investment Dilemma
The vicious cycle of high costs and low update rates
The attendees pointed out that in recent years, the willingness of British injection molding companies to update their equipment has weakened. Although new equipment can significantly reduce long-term operating costs, the constantly rising operating costs of enterprises, including energy, taxes, etc., still make many companies more cautious when making new investment decisions. The attendees unanimously agreed that multiple parties need to work together to explore innovative financial and policy support models to break this deadlock.
Cultivate future power
Bridge the skills gap and ignite the enthusiasm of young people
The long-term development of the industry cannot be separated from talent. The forum focused on discussing how to stimulate the interest of the younger generation in manufacturing and called for the establishment of a more solid and attractive technical apprenticeship system. At the same time, everyone also advocates opening large-scale industry exhibitions such as Interplas UK to schools and colleges, giving young people the opportunity to experience the charm of modern manufacturing up close.
Strengthen industry advocacy
Let policies truly serve industrial development
In order to create a healthy and sustainable business environment, it is necessary to ensure that government decision-makers truly understand the actual pressures that manufacturers face on a daily basis. Bochuang hopes to build a bridge between the industry and the government through such high-level dialogue, and promote the introduction of more favorable policies that promote growth rather than adding burden.
After the forum, the attending guests also visited the local customer factory of Bochuang.
Here, everyone witnessed the efficient and stable operation of multiple Bochuang injection molding machines, and highly praised their excellent performance and outstanding performance in complex working conditions.
The successful hosting of this roundtable forum once again confirms a simple truth: to maintain strong competitiveness in the manufacturing industry in the UK and even globally, open, candid, and efficient collaboration between equipment suppliers, industry associations, media, and government is essential.
As a benchmark enterprise in China's injection molding intelligent equipment and intelligent services, Bochuang has always been committed to becoming the core force driving industry progress. We are proud to be the initiator and participant of this crucial dialogue, and will continue to work together with partners from all walks of life to contribute our "Bo Chuang Wisdom" to the innovation and development of the global injection molding industry.
