From a small tool company with only a dozen ordinary equipment 20 years ago, to one of the strongest comprehensive companies in the domestic complex tool and precision measuring tool industry, and has become a leader in the modern high-efficiency precision and complex tool industry in one fell swoop, what is the secret of the rapid growth of EST Tools Co., Ltd.?
"Bearing in mind the social responsibilities of enterprises to the country and employees, practice the scientific outlook on Development with an innovative spirit, and continue to explore and lead the healthy, harmonious and sustainable development of enterprises.”This is what Chen Errong, the chairman of the company, said in the oath of the party members.
As a model, build an innovative team
Chen Errong graduated from the Department of Mechanics of Zhejiang University in his early years, majoring in metallographic heat treatment. He has served as the workshop director and deputy factory director of Guiyang Tool Factory, the director of the Haiyan Branch of Guiyang Tool Factory, the general manager of Jiaxing EST Tools Co., Ltd., and the chairman of EST Tools Co., Ltd. He also serves as the deputy director of the Complex Tool Sub-Committee of the National Tool Standardization Technical Committee and the head of the Spline Measuring Tool Working Group of the National Measuring Tool and Instrument Standardization Technical Committee. With decades of solid technical experience, he has deeply imprinted the word “innovation” in his heart.
“As a fan, Fang is the fan of others.”At the age of nearly 70, he is still busy on the front line of production and technology. In the 30 years since he ran the company and directly managed production, he has worked an average of 60 to 70 hours a week.“In the development of an enterprise, it is necessary to cultivate a first-class management team, build an excellent workforce, build an innovative team, and establish a talent advantage, so that the enterprise can maintain its position in the industry and maintain lasting development."Chen Errong said.
Under the leadership of Chen Errong, the company has always regarded technical talents, management talents, and sales talents as the key objects for training, and has formed an EST CNC precision cutting tool R&D and innovation team.The team was rated as the second batch of key enterprise technology innovation teams in Zhejiang Province in 2011, and was received and awarded certificates by provincial leaders.Now Hengfeng Tools is an advanced enterprise in Zhejiang Province to create harmonious labor relations, a pacesetter unit in the construction of professional ethics for workers in Zhejiang Province, and an advanced collective enterprise in Jiaxing City.
After more than 20 years of development, the core team of EST Tools has been sticking to its post.Although the machines are constantly updated and upgraded, the innovation team responsible for R&D tasks has always remained stable and has become the greatest support for enterprise innovation.
Fill the gaps in the industry and lead the development of the industry
“In recent years, my country has vigorously developed gas turbines, but due to technical limitations, major domestic large-scale steam turbine plants used to be able to import large and complex high-precision wheel groove broaching machines from abroad, and at the same time imported a large number of precision combined broaching tools for processing.The broach is a high-precision and high-efficiency special combination broaching tool for steam turbine manufacturing industry. It is not easy to develop and process this product. The product has to go through dozens of processes. There are countless uncertainties behind each process. What is more difficult is that each process cannot have the slightest defect, otherwise the processed roulette wheel and the tool will be scrapped, and a roulette wheel blank is worth nearly 2 million yuan."Chen Errong introduced.
Chen Errong led the enterprise innovation team under great pressure, carefully organized, and overcome countless difficulties, and finally successfully produced qualified products that met the technical quality requirements of users.In 2013, ”Precision combined broach for fir tree-shaped wheel groove processing for gas turbine turbine roulette wheel" won the title of the first domestic product (set) in the key field of equipment manufacturing in Zhejiang Province that year, filling the gap in the domestic tool industry and becoming the first domestic product (set) in the key field of equipment manufacturing in Jiaxing City.
Up to now, Chen Errong has led the company to preside over and undertake more than 20 national and provincial new product plans, presided over the system (revision) of 6 national and industry standards, and won 3 national invention patents, and also won the First Prize of Jiaxing Science and Technology Progress, Jiaxing Mayor Quality Award, etc.
According to reports, the company's products currently include two categories and 6 series, and the competitiveness of many products such as broach and spline measuring tools in the 6 series is far ahead in China.The CNC precision broaching tools produced by EST tools occupy more than 30% of the country's market share; spline measuring tools have been the number one in the industry for many years, and they have gradually replaced imported tools in the domestic automobile industry.
