The “industry earthquake” that followed the Japanese earthquake has affected the electromechanical industry in our province. "Now we are the agent of Japan NSK Bearings, already can not add new sources."

NSK announced that due to the impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Fukushima plant had been completely shut down and part of the Saitama plant was suspended. As of 12:00 on March 15, 2011, it has not been determined when to resume work.

According to relevant statistics, in 2010, the province’s import of mechanical and electrical products from Japan was 2.53 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 32.4% of the total import trade with Japan. Among them, 1.95 billion U.S. dollars of feed processing accounted for 25% of the total import trade with Japan.

Recently, the person in charge of Jinan Kaifurui Bearing Co., Ltd. is rather annoyed. “Some of the more standard bearings used today have not shown fluctuations in their sources of supply, but the supply of non-standard bearings has become tense, and the price has also been adjusted by about 10%.”

The person in charge told the reporter that they mainly represented the bearings of NSK, Germany, and Sweden. Among them, the majority of Japan's bearings, accounting for sales of Qi Cheng, customers are mostly based in Shandong enterprises, located in the machine tools, automobiles, electricity, mining and other fields.

The reporter learned today from the Provincial Department of Commerce that electromechanical products are the province's largest export product to Japan, while large quantities of high-tech products, upstream intermediate products and equipment are imported, and automobiles, electronics, precision instruments, machine tools, and electrical appliances rely on Japanese products. Higher degree.

Due to the large-scale production suspension of industrial enterprises in the northeastern region of Japan, the supply of Japan-produced components needed by processing trade companies in our province will be insufficient, which will have a major impact on imports under processing trade.

The deeper impact is that the destruction of infrastructure such as transportation and communications caused by strong earthquakes will cause some industries in our province to face the risk of the suspension of the supply of upstream intermediate products. Some new construction and renovation projects may be interrupted.

The reporter learned that at present, all levels of commerce departments in our province will actively guide enterprises to enhance their market expansion capabilities based on their own needs, pay close attention to the development of new customer resources, and seek new suppliers to reduce the adverse impact of Japan’s earthquake on China’s exports of mechanical and electrical products.

In addition, the demand for the top two consumer electronics products such as electronic game machines and portable computers for export to Shandong Electromechanical Products will be suppressed for a certain period of time. This is because, in the period to come, post-disaster reconstruction will become the focus of Japanese society’s production and living. With the shift of this focus, the demand for leisure and entertainment products in Japan will decline. At the same time, large-scale infrastructure reconstruction will also attract construction machinery companies such as Komatsu, Mitsubishi and Hitachi to return to the domestic market, thereby reducing or delaying exports to overseas markets.
