Development of glass machinery

The development of China's glass machinery industry began in the early 1990s. It was mainly rooted and sprouted in China by the migration of foreign (Taiwan-funded) enterprises. With the regional transfer of world processing plants and the rapid development of China's related industries, the glass machinery processing industry began to develop rapidly in China. The early glass machinery manufacturing enterprises were represented by Shenzhen Yiweigao Industrial Development Co., Ltd., which subsequently differentiated and became several leading enterprises in Shunde, Guangdong and Shenzhen. In the later development, it gradually expanded into two large areas, mainly the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta.

Current situation of glass machinery

By the beginning of the 20th century, there was a trend following the emergence of glass processing enterprises. Foshan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Zhangjiagang and other relatively concentrated industrial areas have emerged. Its development area has expanded to the Shandong Peninsula to the Bohai Rim, and has spread to many cities in the mainland. More than 50% of China's glass cold processing equipment is manufactured in Shunde, Guangdong.

By 2014, the development of China's glass machinery is highly dependent on the international market.

The good development prospect of the glass fine processing industry will maintain a rapid development trend in China's glass edging machine industry. It is estimated that from 2011 to 2013, the annual growth rate of demand for automotive and construction laminated safety glass in the Chinese market will be about 30%. This means that the glass machinery industry has great development potential and endurance in China.

Building and automotive glass and glass products, as substrates, are playing an increasingly important role in the process of diversification, bringing opportunities and challenges to glass production and processing equipment. In 2014, flexible production process and multifunctional production equipment are the development trend of the world glass processing industry. They require the glass processing equipment to be highly repeatable and accurate. Automobile and architectural glass have been committed to reducing the thickness of glass to meet the needs of the market, which puts forward higher requirements for glass deep processing technology. Many glass deep processing enterprises began to improve the efficiency of production lines and integrate all aspects of glass deep processing. This will become the development trend of the glass deep processing industry in the future.
