GuangBo Group actively expands for carrying out the promotion of new industry

GuangBo News (journalist WeiYuqi), the day of the 8^th month of the 23^rd deserved memory to more than 600 companies for stationery in NingBo. The NingBo Stationery Trade Association was declared open and it is the first trade association of stationery in the country.

There are more than 3000 companies for stationery in different scale in the country. They develop independently whether in meeting home consumer market or expanding export for a long term, there is no norm and unified trade association to optimize and restrict them. Therefore, as a large-scale export-oriented manufacturing corporation for stationery, Mr. ShuYaopin, general manager of the import and export trading company affiliated the group, said with deep feeling: “the companies for stationery in lack of trade norm only have ability to produce few of kinds of products, the vicious competition and the lack of major products that are well-known in the markets at home and abroad have severe influence on the healthy development of the home stationary trade. GuangBo Group will optimize itself advantages to actively expand for carrying out the promotion of new industry when and after we do our best to help establish the NingBo Stationery Trade Association.

The stationery “made in NingBo” has become an important industry and export products in NingBo where has more than 600 manufacturing companies for stationery with their staff members of 100 thousand. The sale volume of stationery trade in the city gets to 10 billion yuan last year, among them more than 80% of stationery products for export covers one tenth of its gross export volume. The city now has formed five economic areas of manufacturing stationery including NingHai, BeiCang, YuYao, YinZhou and CiXi and has the biggest companies for pen, album, teaching tools and poker in the country. In the first session of Chinese stationery in August 23^rd, all-China Articles For Culture Education And Sport Federation hold a ceremony to award NingHai the card of “ Chinese manufacturing base for stationery”.

The country has formed two stationery industry bases that is ChangJiang River Delta with NingBo as leading city, another ZhuJiang River Delta with ShanTou as leading city after a long-term development.  NingBo has such well-known stationery companies as guangbo, Deli, BinBin and Befa, while QiXin and Yafu in ShanTou. However, there are many small-scale companies in and out of the two bases that have no brand and pollution treatment, some even produce by hands. The Trade Association of Stationery of NingBo is founded under the historical background about how to contain these companies in one, two or more large industry bases to form the bloc for stationery with common development and progress in order to compete with large transnational stationery flagships and to gain more profits.

As one of leading stationery companies in NingBo, GuangBo Group plays a vital role in promoting development of trade and establishing well-known brand of Chinese stationery industry. While continual perfecting its leading stationery industry, GuangBo Group develops to related industries to form industrial chain including products made of paper and stationery. GuangBo Group not only expands the stationery industry circle including print, album and notebook but also seeks the promotion of new industries, for instance, improving the golden content of the brand of “GuangBo” in Nanometer material, digital cinema and intelligent products. Now, the modern GuangBo Industrial Park, invested 250 million yuan, has been basically completed that covers an area of 220Mu. This marks that the new framework of development, integrating research, production and marketing, has been basically completed that divided into administration center, research center and logistics center.

Comment: attach importance to training.

From this year on, the group strengthens the basic training to workers and different departments as a whole. However, many leaders and employees of departments don’t pay attention to the training, its importance and necessity can’t be realized. For instance, emergencies often happen because the training of safety production can’t be carried out well, the group suffers a tremendous loss of lives and property only in 2003. Aimed to the development of production, the group sets up administration committee of safety production in June and take several training to special position. After training and assessment, the group gives the certification of position to those persons who pass the assessment. Besides, the group inspects all the production area.

It has formed good environment of paying attention to safety production inside the group by a series of training, assessment and examination. But the group also found out many inadequacies of safety production and management in some departments that can pay more attention to output than safety production

All the machines of the group will be strictly examined and tested by machine department, and there are little wrong in operation. However, as for the users, there are many hidden peril. Why? That is because some leaders don’t attach importance to safety production at all. For instance, the group ever found that some employees dismantled safety installation. This seriously violated the regulation of administration of safety production and the group has punished the related person. For another instance, some employees without training operated machines. Some leaders of workshops don’t their best at safety education to their workers or think that the training is none of their business, which results in the increase of emergency.

The training course taken by the group only teaches new employees the theoretical knowledge, but only in workshops can they get practical knowledge. Apart from knowing necessary safety knowledge, new employees must be trained in workshops. The different-level leaders in workshop should work hard together to train and supervise those new workers, correcting wrong operation and reporting the machines with hidden peril in time. This is the duty of leaders as well as the workers.

Whether the safety sense is good embodies in various aspects. For instance, most of employees were late to take part in the first assessment of safety training and so were they at the second in a certain branch. Finally, the branch had to call them to come and this often happened. However, this is a special example but this shows that some leaders don’t attach importance to safety production at all.

We conclude that most of accidents in production results from wrong operation, including the wrong operation of new employees without training, absent-minded in operation and careless operation. Most of accidents will bring about the workers and the group pains in their all life and tremendous economic loss.

Safety production is the duty of every employee. This is not a simple slogan but a duty. Every leader and worker should ask himself that I have the safety sense in production and I can correct the wrong operation of others and I ever violate the regulation of operation? Safe in production is the duty of every guangboer.
