Wazhou Group proudly enters the U.S. market
Targeting Major National Technical Equipment Bearings
In reality, wind turbine bearings are just one part of the broader landscape of high-end bearings required by China's major technical equipment. "The state has set a goal to achieve significant breakthroughs in 16 key areas of major technological equipment. Bearings play a crucial role as essential components. For a long time, most of the high-grade bearings used in domestic major equipment have relied on imports, facing foreign restrictions that, to some extent, hinder the development of China’s equipment manufacturing industry," said Wang Lushun. "As a pioneer in China’s bearing industry, we must take on the responsibility of supporting the country's equipment manufacturing. Our aim is to reach world-class standards, develop high-tech markets, and secure high-end customers to replace imported products." "Our strategy is to focus on high-end bearings needed for national major technical equipment. We do not engage in competition in the low-end market," Wang Lushun explained. Wazhou Group positions itself in the high-end market, targeting major sectors such as wind power and rail transportation. Under this strategic guidance, the company closely follows national policies and market trends, actively adjusting product variety and quality to meet market demands, and repositioning its product structure accordingly. Based on the approach of "introduction, digestion, absorption, and innovation," Wazhou Group has made great efforts to enter the wind power, railway, and major equipment markets, aligning its product structure with evolving needs. Wazhou Group clearly understands that capturing the high-end market requires not only advanced technology but also strong hardware capabilities. Li Fuxin, head of the propaganda department at Wazhou Group, stated: "Since 2000, Wazhou has aimed for international standards. We have consistently followed the principles of high starting point, high level, strong investment, and rapid output, carrying out large-scale, three-dimensional technological upgrades, completing the transformation of railway bearings, low-noise motor bearings, and new-structure automotive bearings." During the transformation process, Wazhou Group does not simply purchase equipment for hardware updates. Instead, it adheres to the principle of "one main line and seven synchronizations"—taking the high-end market as the direction and product structure adjustment as the main line, while simultaneously advancing market development, product development, process development, equipment development, safety and environmental protection, logistics layout, and employee quality improvement. This ensures both software and hardware upgrades, enabling the company to make a significant leap in business and technology. Following this principle, Wazhou Group has completed the transformation of 20 major projects, including railway bearings, low-noise motor bearings, metallurgical mine bearings, large turntable bearings, second-generation passenger car wheel bearings, and new-structure automotive bearings. The technical equipment now meets international standards, and production capacity has doubled. Its truck and car bearing lines have become the largest in China, supplying bearings for heavy-duty, medium, light, minivans, passenger cars, and agricultural vehicles. It has also introduced the first high-class hub wheel bearing production line in China, producing first-, second-, and third-generation car wheel bearings. Motor bearings now operate on fully automatic production lines, meeting U.S. military standards. In 2004, Wazhou completed the world's most advanced railway speed-increasing bearing production line, achieving full automation, informatization, and standardization in railway bearing production. This marked a new milestone in China's bearing industry. Since 2005, Wazhou Group initiated the construction of the Wafangdian Precision Technology and Manufacturing Industrial Park. Large-scale precision bearing projects, rotary bearing projects, and other precision bearing initiatives have been successfully launched. These projects have rapidly replaced imported high-tech products needed for national key engineering projects, leading to the quick production of large-scale wind power bearings, major equipment bearings, and high-precision machine tool bearings. The manufacturing bases have been completed and put into operation, with products in high demand and entering prestigious markets in the U.S., Germany, and other countries. The company's global brand reputation and influence have steadily grown. The establishment of the Wafangdian Industrial Park marks a new phase in Wazhou Group's development. In pursuit of continued success, the foundation of the Dalian Precision Technology and Manufacturing Industrial Park was laid on October 18, 2008. Once completed, this new industrial park will become a new growth point for Wazhou's production capacity and economic performance. [Next] The Mainstay of Autonomous Bearings Bearing technology is complex and requires multiple technical integrations. Their application sites are critical, directly affecting the life and reliability of the entire machine. As an essential mechanical component, bearings are widely used in the equipment industry. The level of bearing manufacturing directly influences the overall level of the equipment industry. "This is far from enough in China. Developed regions and countries in the world of equipment manufacturing all have developed bearing industries that support their equipment sectors," said Wang Lushun. The bearing industry has several key characteristics: First, it is a large-scale industry with annual sales exceeding 400 billion yuan, similar to the machine tool industry. Second, its status is highly important—foreign equipment manufacturers agree that developing modern equipment manufacturing must go hand-in-hand with developing modern bearing manufacturing. Third, the industry is highly concentrated, with 70% of global bearings produced by six multinational companies, while China's bearing industry remains relatively fragmented. The rapid development of the host industry has provided opportunities for the bearing industry, but also brought challenges. Compared to the pace of technological upgrades in the host industry, China's bearing technology development lags significantly. Therefore, high-precision bearings have become a bottleneck for the development of major equipment such as roadheaders, new energy systems, and CNC machines. Although China is already among the world's leading bearing manufacturing countries, it still falls short of being a true bearing powerhouse. The high-precision bearing market in China is still dominated by foreign companies. Of all the bearings produced annually in China, over 80% are mid-to-low grade, while only about 20% are high-technology, high-value-added special and precise bearings. As a result, China continues to import a large number of high-grade and special bearings each year. Currently, China imports over 1 billion sets of bearings annually, and this number continues to rise, meaning a significant portion of the host matching and maintenance market is controlled by foreign players. Although this "cake" is tempting, most Chinese bearing companies lack the strength to compete. Among the companies capable of participating in international competition in China's bearing industry, Wazhou Group stands out as the leader. In 2008, the group celebrated its 70th anniversary. Throughout its history, it has contributed numerous milestones to China's bearing industry. Lu Yanzheng, former Deputy Minister of the Electrical and Mechanical Department, wrote in a letter to the Wazhou Group: “Wazhou is the cradle of the Chinese bearing industry and has made important contributions to the country's economic construction for 70 years. I hope it continues to support major technical equipment and makes new contributions.†In recent years, Wazhou Group has become the supplier of the highest-level precision bearings and holds the largest market share in the country's major equipment. It uses the most advanced bearing production equipment in China and is equipped with high-level testing and experimental facilities. The company focuses on developing key bearings for wind power, machine tools, high-speed railways, medical machinery, and various other industries. Precision bearings, as fundamental components for the equipment manufacturing industry, have long been a constraint on improving China’s equipment levels. With the completion of the Wazhou Precision Technology and Manufacturing Industrial Park, the company has introduced the most advanced bearing production equipment, rapidly elevating China’s bearing process and product levels to an international standard and completely replacing imports. It has built a world-class high-speed truck bearing automatic grinding line and a high-speed heavy-duty truck bearing production line, meeting domestic railway speed-up requirements and reaching international quality standards. In recent years, Wazhou Group has developed many high-precision bearings critical to national major technical equipment: high-speed railway bearings, satellite launcher bearings, aircraft bearings, replacement bearings for Baosteel 2050 mill lines, high-end precision machine tool bearings, wind power generation series bearings, and the main bearing for a 10,000-meter drilling rig. All of these have reached world-leading levels. Among them, wind power bearings have not only increased their market share domestically but have also been exported internationally. High-speed, heavy-duty railway bearings have been ordered in bulk by the country and can now compete with global giants like SKF. Currently, 15% of Wazhou Group’s products have reached international contemporary levels, while 48% have reached the international advanced level of the mid-1990s. Auto and railway bearings have even entered the American market. While other companies continue to fight in the low-end market, Wazhou Group has gradually moved into the territories of international giants with its high-precision products, becoming a model for China's bearing industry in international competition.Bubble mailers include kraft bubble mailers, Poly Bubble Mailers and metallic bubble mailers; Different size and different colors are available, also we can produce bubble mailer bag with self seal and printing your logos.
