In the first half of Hangzhou energy saving lamps soared 72%

Zhejiang is the largest province of domestic exports of energy-saving lamps, of which more than 60% of the production from Hangzhou. According to the Hangzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau statistics, the first half of 2010, the 5457 batch of energy-saving lamps in Hangzhou Province, the value of $260 million, an increase of 72% and 63.5%, respectively.

Strong demand for overseas enterprises in the past two years, the developed countries have introduced policies to gradually reduce the use of energy-saving lamps and LED lamps and other new products to replace the incandescent lamp. February 2007, the Australian government announced the first to be in the country in 2010 to achieve the use of energy-saving lamps to replace incandescent bulbs, prohibit the use of incandescent bulbs. In September last year, the European Union announced that it would use 4 years to phase out incandescent and other high energy consuming lighting equipment, energy saving lamps, halogen bulbs and LED lamps instead of incandescent bulbs to become the main lights of European residents. This year, Egypt, South Africa and South America and other countries have begun to introduce appropriate policies. Hangzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau of mechanical and electrical light inspection department is responsible for the enterprise has more than and 500, more than 20% of energy-saving lamp enterprises. Lu Zhenqiu, director of the Department of mechanical and electrical light inspection, said that this year, a substantial increase in export volume, the number of enterprises also increased rapidly, almost every week, the establishment of new enterprises.

On the equipment of the enterprises more efficient Lu Zhenqiu said that although the development of energy-saving lamp industry is very fast, but the industry worries have emerged as a labor-intensive industry, the threshold is very low, the homogenization of competition is becoming more and more serious; new employees anxious posts, decline in product quality, improve the profit rate of the defective rate, decreased year by year in. The general manager of the company by Luo Xiaoyong said, from the beginning of last year, has become the enterprise's recruitment problems, this situation is particularly serious, the personnel department ran Anhui, Sichuan, Jiangsu and other provinces, the monthly salary increase from last year's 1500 yuan to 2500 yuan, to recruit 100 employees, only half the recruitment plan, and new employees only 1/3 of the old staff efficiency. But the beginning of the transformation of the equipment has been effective. Deputy general manager of the company by Sheng Yongqing said that their company is at the beginning of transformation of the equipment investment of 5 million yuan, saving more than and 90 labor, basically solved the shortage pressure, according to the company's daily production of 90000 yield calculation, saving $3600 every day. In the early years Feida electronics company, millions of dollars of imported 7 SMT machine and 24 semi automatic assembly line, also brought obvious benefits: equipment, 16 workers a day only holds 8000 current ballast, increased to 12000; 60 workers a day before you can put 24000 whole lamp. Now the same production needs only more than and 40 workers. Hangzhou more than and 100 energy-saving lamp enterprises, more than 10% from the beginning of the purchase of equipment to ease the shortage of labor, the current production capacity. Therefore, the inspection and quarantine bureau is encouraging more energy-saving lamp enterprises to purchase, replacement equipment, to ensure production capacity and product quality.
