The global management consulting company PRTM conducted a study of more than 350 auto parts suppliers around the world to find winners and losers in the automotive supply industry. The results of the study will be announced soon.
Chinese suppliers and the world's largest European suppliers scored the highest on PRTM's global buyer rankings, indicating that they are likely to acquire other suppliers that are in trouble due to the global auto industry's downturn. For example, in Guangzhou, China, the highly profitable, 51% state-controlled auto parts company of Guangzhou Automobile Industry Group, and Weifang, China-owned diesel engine manufacturer Weichai Power Co., Ltd., have all made PRTM's top ten globally. List of purchasers. In Guangzhou, acquisitions of mergers and acquisitions by automobile assembly and suppliers have been frequent. This company in South China is also a joint venture partner of Toyota Motor Corporation and Honda Motor Corporation in China.
Weichai Power and Toyota's Keiretsu suppliers, such as Denso Corp., Toyota Boshoku Corp., and Aisin Seiki Co., also entered the top ten acquisitions. Listed on the list are ZF Friedrichshafen AG, SKF Group, and BASF AG, a large European global supplier.
However, PRTM's director of global practice for automotive industry practice, and also the author of this research report, Dietmar Ostermann pointed out: "Although Toyota's associated suppliers have shown great potential to be acquirers in our research report, and have a The financial strength and capabilities of the integrators, but we believe they will not participate too much in mergers and acquisitions.M & A is contrary to Toyota's corporate culture, so we believe that they will continue to seek organic growth or participate in joint ventures.
There is only one US supplier on the world's top ten list of purchasers, namely PPG Industries. PPG, based in Pittsburgh, Pa., is a manufacturer of glass and coatings for the automotive industry, as well as other industries. PRTM expects that among the 31 large global automotive suppliers in North America, several are likely to go bankrupt or be fully acquired. Earlier this year, LearCorp., MetaldyneCorp., VisteonCorp., and others have applied for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. According to PRTM's predictions, other well-known automobile suppliers in the United States, such as American Axle Manufacturing Holdings (Inc.), a large supplier of axles and drive shafts for General Motors, may also follow suit.
Interestingly, in North America, 31 suppliers that entered the top 100 global suppliers faced greater risk of failure than the 30 that followed. Ostermann believes that "part of the reason is that North America's large global suppliers are more strictly controlled by car manufacturers, and several of them have already been bound with Chrysler and General Motors;
The highest bankruptcy and consolidation density is expected to be in the chassis (brake, steering, axle, suspension, etc.) and electrical/electronic (harness, switch, door system, etc.) areas. Chassis systems are generally capital-intensive and are therefore more affected by falling sales, while electronic systems represent the future of the vehicle industry and many suppliers are trying to add electronic functionality to their respective automotive systems. In fact, PRTM studied the recent 122 suppliers to accelerate bankruptcy and found that a considerable part of them were chassis system suppliers such as Metadyne, Hayes Lemmerz International Inc., and Contech, USA ) and JLFrench et al.
Ostermann said: "Because the concentration of chassis suppliers is not high, there are about 120 equivalent chassis suppliers distributed all over the world, plus there are a large number of powerful potential acquirers and potential weak bankrupt companies in this industry. Therefore, the chassis system's M&A pressure will be the largest.
A finned tube is a heat transfer device consisting of many parallel metal fins commonly used for heat dissipation and cooling applications. Finned tubes increase the surface area of the pipe, thus increasing the heat transfer efficiency. Finned tubes are commonly used in applications such as air coolers, automotive radiators, condensers, and evaporators. They are also used in industrial heaters and refrigerators to increase heat transfer surface area and improve efficiency.
Finned tube is a kind of new, wear-resistant, efficient heat exchange material, is a kind of energy-saving heat exchange element, it uses high-frequency power source as heat source, the steel strip, steel pipe heating at the same time, so that the fusion welding together into one, with high heat exchange efficiency, large cooling area, long service life, adapt to a wide range of temperature, high pressure characteristics, it can also be made of a variety of materials, Excellent heat transfer, durability, heat resistance and corrosion resistance. Widely used in waste heat recovery, petrochemical, power plant boiler, economizer, bus, industrial and civil construction heating, refrigeration, medical drying, wood drying, food drying system and other industries.
The main business scope is various heaters, waste heat boilers, pressure vessels, supportingair preheaters, air coolers, furnace accessories and accessories, and provide equipment installation, with EPC ability of projects. At present, our customers have covered all large and medium-sized petrochemical enterprises in China and established long-term strategic cooperative partnership with them. Products are exported to Southeast Asia, Middle East, and other regions.
