European machine tool industry lays stress on overall layout

German machine tools are undoubtedly the most typical representatives of European machine tools, and in addition to Germany, Europe actually has a cluster of machine tools, that is, Italy, Spain, and the Czech Republic in Eastern Europe.

Germany and Italy are the EU's leading machine tool-producing countries. Germany's machine tool output accounts for approximately 40% of the European machine tool's output value. The following are 23% for Italy, 12% for Switzerland, and 5% for Spain.

Giancarlo Losma, president of the Italian Machine Tool, Robotics and Automation Manufacturers Association (UCIMU-SISTEMIPERPRODURRE) recently stated that since 2010, China has become Italy's largest export destination country, surpassing previous Germany. Due to the strong demonstration effect of the Chinese market, some manufacturers of custom-made, high-end machine tools began to follow the footsteps of the pioneers and entered the Chinese market. Until now, the top machine tool companies in Italy have all come to China. Losma also talked about two 20%. One is that Italy's machine tool industry will see a 20% increase in output value in 2011. Another is that Italian machine tools expected to be exported to China this year will surely have a 20% increase.

According to the general manager of Nicolas Correa Group Ignacio, Spain, the Chinese branch is the only company in the world. As the sales champion of large and medium-sized milling machines and machining centers in Europe, 2010 was the fifth year that Nicolas Creaya entered the Chinese market, and its sales volume has exceeded 100 units. At the end of last year, Nicholas Kunming's plant was built in neighboring Fujian Province and soon won orders from many companies such as Weifeng precision machine tools and successful machine tools.

At the 12th China International Machine Tool Show (CIMT2011), the Czech Republic organized a dozen machine tool companies to jointly hold a meeting. One manufacturer that manufactures turning tools has said that there are currently four agents in China and will cover the most important sales regions in China in the next two years.

In comparison, the Czech company Daos Machine Tool Company has clearly entered the Chinese market with a deeper degree. In 2005, they established a joint venture with Kunming Machine Tool and so far it has sold 100 machine tools. According to the person in charge of the sales headquarters recently established by Daos in Shanghai, the Shanghai sales headquarters plans to sell 20 original machine tools this year, and from January to April, it has sold 78 units. If you can complete the plan, then this sales performance will be a miracle, because the original machine tool industry that Daws Company sold in China in 1995-2005 10 years is not over 50.
