"From this year's Spring Festival to the present, we are really too busy working overtime to catch up with orders, and even employees in some departments only took a half-day rest on May Day." Xu Feng, deputy general manager of the sales company in charge of international business of Qingdao Hicorp Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hicorp Heavy Industry "), told the author in this way. "In order to complete the order task with high quality and deliver it on time, we even rejected some customers' orders. Although we are very busy, we are very happy because we have finally opened up overseas markets. "

In fact, Qingdao Heavy Industry has always attached great importance to the international strategic layout and made the implementation of the national "The Belt and Road Initiative" a top priority. This year, overseas market development brought good news that three consecutive orders have been signed: pipe production system design and equipment supply project of Philippine Kaliwa Damn by Guangxi Hydroelectric Construction Bureau Co., Ltd., requires 10- ring segments molds; Serbia project by China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. requires 12-ring segment molds; Sri Lanka project by China Construction Fifth Engineering Division Co., Ltd. requires10-ring segment molds. Hicorp Heavy Industry  built upon cooperation with large group engineering projects and yielded rich fruits.

Shield segment mold

Hicorp Heavy Industry has advanced processing equipment and high processing accuracy, thus ensuring the tolerance accuracy and yield of production dies; At the same time, the mold also has the characteristics of easy operation and simple mold opening and closing, which greatly improves the production efficiency of cement products; Among them, the subway segment mold and utility tunnel mold adopt the domestic advanced attached vibration mode, which saves the labor cost.

As early as 2018, Hicorp Heavy Industry began to plan out the international market, and set up a special office to explore the international market. Business personnel were responsible for collecting market information and exhibition information, as well as consulting agents and global search. Through in-depth understanding of the politics, economy, culture and other aspects of countries along the "the Belt and Road " and market analysis, it is considered that the Philippines is a potential market. Although the industry exhibition planned to be held in the Philippines in 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company's determination to enter the Philippine market had not wavered. Vice President Xu Feng said, we have changed our thinking, strengthened cooperation with state-owned enterprises and central enterprises, and explored the international market with their strengths.

The Philippine Kaliwa Damn is located at the intersection of Tanay, Rizal Province, General Nakar and Infanta, Quezon Province in central Luzon Island. The dam consists of a concrete gravity dam and a water delivery system.

Serbia is the first European country to grant visa-free access to China. Hicorp Heavy Industry has done a lot of meticulous preliminary work for the bidding of China Railway Construction Heavy Industries, and finally won the bid successfully. So far, the Serbian project has been delivered.

"Going global" is essential for Hicorp Heavy Industry . For a long time, it has a clear planning for overseas strategic development: one direction is to continue to look for cooperation paths with developed countries in terms of advanced technology of molds and production lines, and introduce the world's top technology in the industry; Another direction is to focus on developing countries' markets, including India, Philippines and other countries, understand customers' deep needs, develop products suitable for regional markets, and promote the products of enterprises by participating in internationally renowned exhibitions and promotion conferences.

At present, Hicorp Heavy Industry has set up agencies in Hong Kong, India and Thailand. In 2019, its participation in the EXCON exhibition in India attracted many foreign professional visitors to visit the company and exchange experiences, contributing a lot to further promote the company's products. Deputy General Manager Xu Feng said: "We signed up for the Indian exhibition in 2020 but couldn't attend due to the COVID-19 pandemic and it also added difficulty for business people to visit customers. However, with our thinking pattern changed, we increased the network publicity, and cooperated with Global Search to promote in Google instead. At present, we are ready for foreign exhibitions and foreign customers' visits as long as the pandemic eased." Hicorp Heavy Industry  will make overall use of its own resources and advantages, and form a diversified and deep-level cooperation mode from technology to marketing and branding, realizing "going global" on the basis of general trade.
