China Aviation Gas Spring: “One Belt, One Road” boosts Chinese brands to the world

Ten years of grinding a sword into the European market

 

Zhonghang Gas Spring was established in 2001. After more than ten years of development, the registered capital has reached 33 million yuan. At present, AVIC Gas Spring has become a high-tech innovative enterprise integrating R&D, production and sales. At present, China Aviation Gas Spring has developed from a single product, the aviation gas spring, to a series of products that can produce aviation. It has formed a series of military and civilian gas springs, aviation lock mechanisms and shock absorbers. , other extended products complemented by multi-series, multi-step product structure, many of which have independent intellectual property rights and obtained national technology patents.

 

"China Aviation Gas Spring research and development and production of products are widely used in aircraft, special vehicles, passenger cars, rail transit, ships, large engineering machinery and equipment, medical equipment, printing equipment, etc.. The company's customers are also at home and abroad, the products are exported to more than 20 countries. And the area." Zhang Wen said.

 

In 2014, AVIC Gas Spring participated in the Paris Air Show. Here, the competition with European and American products has enabled AVIC Gas Spring to see the vastness of the European market and its determination to open up overseas markets. To this end, the China Aviation Gas Spring Europe office came into being. In the days that followed, AVIC Gas Springs was invited to participate in various airshows and in-depth contact with other aviation companies including Airbus and Dassault.

 

Zhang Wen said that the aviation market has a higher threshold than other industries. This is especially true in countries with higher production standards such as the United States, France, and Germany. Access to the aviation markets of these countries requires first obtaining their certification before they can enter their supply chain through tendering. "In order to better develop the international market, China Aviation Gas Spring will set up an overseas R&D center within two years." Zhang Wen said.

 

It is understood that AVIC Gas Spring has signed a cooperation agreement with a French company, which is fully responsible for the French and European markets. "We firmly believe that the products of China Aviation Gas Springs will certainly have a place in France." Zhang Wen said.

 

R&D team is the core competitiveness

 

More than a decade ago, whether it was from technological innovation or product quality, European and American products have been at the forefront of the world. How to achieve catch-up has always been a lingering confusion for Chinese aviation people. Nowadays, with its strong research and development strength, China Aviation Gas Spring has overcome the heavy resistance and has reached the level of competition with European and American products.

 

In Zhang Wen's view, all of this is indispensable for technical and R&D support. Zhang Wen said that the R&D team is the core of China Aviation Gas Spring. In order to strengthen this core force, AVIC Gas Spring has set up a research and development team with more than 40 people, led by Wen Bangwei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Among them, senior engineers exceeded 1/4 of the total number of teams.

 

In view of the high standards and strict requirements of aviation products, every project of AVIC Gas Springs should be based on customer needs. From research and development design to manufacturing samples, to experimental airworthiness, each work tests the innovative R&D and production experiment level of AVIC Gas Spring. Only in full compliance with the European and American market certification standards, China Aviation Gas Springs can make a world in the international market.

 

Xiongguan Man Road is really like iron, but now it is moving from the beginning. The development of China Aviation Gas Spring is the same as that of most successful companies. It is full of thorns, but more is an opportunity. Knowing ourselves and knowing the positioning of the international market, China Aviation Gas Spring has explored an international road that is in line with its own advantages. Zhang Wen said that during the more than ten years of competition with European and American products, AVIC Gas Spring has gradually realized that there is a single supply chain in the European aviation market, and it is urgent to expand the supply chain. This is the advantage of China Aviation Gas Spring. As a result, the China Aviation Gas Spring R&D team continued to enrich the European customer supply chain according to customer needs, ensuring that independent R&D products entered the European market faster. This also gives AVIC Gas Springs full confidence in the future global market.

“One Belt, One Road” boosts Chinese brands to the world

 

Zhang Wenshen has a sentiment about the “One Belt, One Road” initiative. She said: "A few years ago, I studied in France. The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games allowed the world to see the rise of China. In 2014, the China Aviation Air Springs France Office was officially established. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. France is very friendly to Chinese-funded enterprises. In introducing local resources, selecting office space and hiring staff, AVIC Gas Spring has been assisted by the French government, which has enabled the French office of China Aviation Gas Spring to be successfully established and has arrived today."

 

The domestic headquarters of China Aviation Gas Spring is located in Xi'an, Shaanxi, the birthplace of the Silk Road. It is able to give full play to its international advantages while responding to the national call. In Europe, France has always been a leader in the aviation field. To this end, China Aviation Gas Spring put the first stop in the development of the international market here. The establishment of the French office has enabled AVIC Gas Spring to fully understand the international market and to cooperate with local companies to radiate the entire European market. This is not only the development layout of AVIC gas springs for the whole of Europe, but also the beginning of the brand going to the world.

 

In the process of competition in the international market, Zhang Wenshen knows the importance of invention patents for establishing a brand of aviation enterprises. The ten-year history of China Aviation Gas Springs in the European market is also a decade in which companies have accumulated innovative technologies and products. Each year, China Aviation Air Springs will apply for patents according to the technical points of different products. This is also the basis for the China Aviation Gas Spring brand to go global. Zhang Wen said that China Aviation Gas Springs is not a single product, but a new design, which is a high value-added component that meets the needs of European customers. It satisfies the overall demand of the European market, which is an important development strategy for the expansion of the brand value of AVIC Gas Spring.

 

Zhang Wen emphasized that since the implementation of the “Belt and Road Initiative”, China Aviation Gas Spring is no longer a separate enterprise. When you say that you are Chinese, you are Chinese manufacturing, you are a Chinese brand, you get more than the help of the local government, and the trust of other companies; when the country is growing stronger, China’s economic development becomes At the time of the development of the world economy, the linkage effect of Chinese enterprises in overseas markets is bound to drive the development of the entire world economy. China Aviation Gas Spring will fully leverage the “One Belt, One Road” advantage and a competitive and orderly international environment to help Chinese brands go global.
