In terms of large-scale data hobbing machines, they are outdated, but with decades of accumulation, Chongqing Machine Tool has a solid foundation, which has been recognized by foreign machine tool companies.
In 2003, the American company with a monopoly on large CNC machine tools proposed to establish a joint venture with Chongqing Machine Tool. The two sides had conducted in-depth negotiations, but in the end, Chongqing Machine Tool did not sign. They said they wanted to establish a joint venture with us, but they actually wanted to eliminate us, "Li Xianguang said. At that time, Chongqing Machine Tool had 2000 people, but this company only accepted 200 people. In terms of products, they also offered high-tech and promising products to the joint venture company for production, leaving simple and low value-added products to Chongqing Machine Tool production.
If you cannot be eliminated, you must become stronger on your own. Since 2000, Chongqing Machine Tool has been developing large-scale CNC machine tools. In early 2006, the State Council issued the "Outline of the National Medium and Long Term Science and Technology Development Plan (2006-2020)", which identified 16 major science and technology projects, including CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment.
In 2009, the CNC gear hobbing machine project of Chongqing Machine Tool Group had a good foundation. At this time, the project was approved and received over 8 million yuan of national funding support. Chongqing Machine Tool Group also raised over 20 million yuan to continue its research and development.
