7. Introduction of P&P Machinery Industry
• No official statistics on how many enterprises manufacturing pulp and papermaking
machinery.
• As an industrial cluster area, Henan Province has more than 200 papermaking
machinery manufacturers in 2009 with the production quantity of 90.000 tons and
sales revenue of 1,62 billion RMB Yuan, about 16% of whole China’s.
• In the past 10 years, Chinese papermaking machinery industry developed rapidly and
achieved some results on technical level, new models and production capabilities.
• However, industrial structure and problems have not been improved:
• Most papermaking machinery manufacturers keep the habits of producing
complete set of equipment instead of outsourcing
• Similar products, no big differences
• Excessive price competition, low profits
• Unstable quality and performance products with low technical level
• So far, almost all advanced domestic machinery are copied or introduced from foreign
companies, very few Chinese manufacturers have their own intellectual property
rights.
• Currently, Chinese manufacturers cannot meet the requirements of high-speed, large-
scale and automated production in paper industry.
