The Chinese (Hydraulic) Puzzle

Posted June 13, 2009 7:19 AM

The Chinese market for hydraulics components has not slowed down. This is good news for international vendors because most precision hydraulics still are not supplied by the domestic Chinese industry. Will this situation continue, bringing about greater worldwide industry recovery? Why or why not?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Hydraulics, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Hydraulics today.

First it was the Japanese, then the Koreans and now the Chinese.

At first they purchased the hydraulic components, then they made bad one, then better, and finally very good quality ones.

Japanese have done this, they buy few components. Koreans are 70% as far as the Japanese. Chinese 25-35%, soon ehtye will be 70%, and then higher, as with the japanese and koreans.

So US and eurpoean makers can not lie down on the job at all, or they will lose the market.

I feel we have already lost the market,

we develope the technology, and sell it to companies that produce it overseas,

we are becoming a consumer country, and getting away from manufacturing, sad but true.
