Recently, the dynamics of many grinding enterprises in the industry have aroused concern, from bankruptcy liquidation to asset auction, the experience of different enterprises together outlines the current difficult situation in the field of cement grinding.
Recently, the production trusteeship right of Sichuan Qingshan New Materials Co., Ltd. was successfully sold at a bidding price of 5.1 million yuan, which was significantly lower than previous first bidding price of 8 million yuan. The company has two cement production lines (pulverizers) with an annual output of 600,000 tons.
Hongjialu Cement Co., Ltd. was declared bankrupt by the local court in May this year because it could not pay off its debts due, and its assets were insufficient to pay off all its debts, and it obviously lacked solvency. The company has two 500,000-ton/year grinding stations.
More noteworthy is that at present, some grinding stations are not only facing operational difficulties, even if enterprises actively seek to transfer and withdraw, it is difficult to find a takeover party.
In recent years, the cement industry is experiencing unprecedented challenges. Many cement enterprises, especially cement grinding enterprises, have successively gone bankrupt or transferred their assets. Grinding station, as a key link in the cement ecological system, its survival status directly affects the stable development of the whole industry. However, the current cement demand has declined sharply, the imbalance between supply and demand is serious, the industry profits have declined sharply, and the market competition has become increasingly fierce, which makes the survival and development of many grinding enterprises face a huge threat. Especially those independent grinding stations lacking the background of large enterprise groups are at an obvious disadvantage in the competition for market share, and are vulnerable to the constraints of large enterprises, and may even fall into the predicament of stopping production at any time.
For grinding enterprises, in order to achieve steady development, the support of cement demand in the sales area, stable clinker supply sources and strong cost control ability of enterprises are very important. However, in the context of the increasingly complex industry situation, these key factors are gradually disappearing. The market space in the sales area has been continuously compressed due to the continuous downturn of cement demand; the stability of clinker supply has been greatly reduced due to the intensified market competition; meanwhile, the fluctuation of raw material prices and the increase of environmental protection costs have made the cost control of enterprises more difficult.
Industry insiders pointed out that active upgrading and transformation, merger and reorganization and withdrawal from the market have become the three main outlets for grinding station enterprises. Among them, active transformation and upgrading can start from green environmental protection, technological transformation and other aspects. By using advanced technology and equipment to improve the efficiency of grinding system and reduce energy consumption, it can not only meet the increasingly stringent environmental requirements, but also effectively enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
Whether it is active withdrawal or passive withdrawal from the market, this is the reality that the cement industry has to face after the overall downturn and the intensification of the contradiction between supply and demand. From this point of view, the bankrupt cement grinding station is not an example, but a microcosm of the industry adjustment. With the continuous adjustment of the industry, more grinding enterprises may face a similar fate in the future. The adjustment period of
cement industry is not only a severe challenge, but also a rare opportunity. Cement grinding enterprises need to make adaptive adjustments according to their own actual conditions and market environment in order to achieve sustainable development. In this process, enterprises should actively pay attention to industry trends, strengthen technological innovation and management innovation, and constantly enhance their core competitiveness. At the same time, the government and industry associations should also play an active role in guiding enterprises to achieve transformation and upgrading by formulating reasonable policies and industry norms, so as to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the cement industry.
