Over the past 30 years, my country's metal packaging industry has grown from small to large, from weak to strong. Up to now, it has developed into an industry with complete product categories, relatively advanced technical level and relatively reasonable industrial layout, which can basically meet the needs of domestic and foreign markets for metal packaging products. At the same time, it has gradually narrowed the gap with its counterparts in developed countries.It can be said that the past 30 years of metal packaging in my country have been 30 years of rapid development.

Zhang Hong has been engaged in metal packaging work and the time step of my country's reform and opening up, and it has been a full 30 years this year.In the first 15 years, she worked in the enterprise and saw and practiced the development of metal packaging step by step from the initial stage of reform and opening up.The experience of working in the metal container committee for nearly 15 years has made her feel more realistically that the metal packaging industry in my country is developing rapidly in an all-round way.

When a reporter asked what would leave the deepest impression on people in the industry during the past 30 years of reform and opening up, Zhang Hong said with deep emotion: The thing that touched me the most and touched me the most was in the early 1980s. The metal packaging industry began to introduce "high frequency resistance welding" technology.In a sense, it is a revolution in the technology of can making in my country for more than 80 years.

The high-frequency resistance welding technology is a process of popularization and continuous development from equipment introduction, promotion to localization.The popularization and application of this technology has completely changed the history of cans being sealed by soldering, and has greatly promoted the development of empty food cans, beverage three-piece cans, and chemical barrels (cans) in my country.

The popularization and application of this technology not only improves the firmness and sealing of the three-piece can interface, but also is more hygienic and safer, and saves the precious non-ferrous metal tin; the popularization and application of this technology makes all kinds of tinplate The production speed of three-piece cans has undergone a qualitative leap—from 20 to 30 cans per minute to hundreds or even more than 1,000 per minute, and the production efficiency has increased dozens of times; the popularization and application of this technology has also produced a new The product is a three-piece tinplate aerosol can, and its pressure resistance performance cannot be achieved by soldering cans.Therefore, the popularization and application of high-frequency resistance welding is one of the biggest changes in the product process of my country's metal packaging industry. It not only promotes the technological progress of the metal packaging industry, but will continue to play its role.

Zhang Hong introduced the current situation and future development trend of my country's metal packaging industry to reporters.She said that metal packaging is a kind of green packaging.In theory, it is a resource that can be recycled, regenerated, and reused infinitely. The regeneration process is a process of saving energy and avoiding pollution; secondly, metal packaging products are irreplaceable in some aspects, such as Barrier properties, sturdiness, good machinability, etc., can fully prove this point only for the nearly 200-year history of food cans.

Zhang Hong expounded the development trend of the metal packaging industry from four aspects:

First, the metal packaging industry is a sunrise industry, which is in the ascendant stage of growth and will continue to maintain a healthy and stable development momentum.The main reason is that the sustained and rapid development of my country's economy will definitely drive the development of the food industry, beverage industry, chemical industry, petrochemical industry, daily chemical industry, and pharmaceutical industry, and will inevitably further increase the demand for metal packaging products.

Second, the development of the metal packaging industry in various regions of the country is extremely uneven. With the adjustment and development of the economic structure of each region, the industrial layout will also be adjusted.Metal packaging developed areas, such as the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Bohai Rim Economic Circle, are gradually shifting to the central, southwestern, and northwest regions, because the rich agricultural, forestry, and animal husbandry products in those areas need deep processing to drive local economic development. It will provide metal packaging bring new business opportunities.

Thirdly, in today's world of economic globalization and market globalization, my country's international trade volume has been increasing year by year, ranking third in the world.Many of our traditional export commodities can only increase their added value by improving their packaging, and the advantages of metal packaging are very obvious, which provides many opportunities for the development of metal packaging products.

Fourth, my country's metal packaging industry still has a clear gap with developed countries in product development, technology research and development, forward-looking research, and even in raw and auxiliary materials, energy consumption, and environmental protection; in core technology, sophisticated and advanced technical equipment On the one hand, it is basically still in a situation of complete dependence on imports, which is undoubtedly a great development space for the metal packaging industry.To sum it up in one sentence: the prospect of metal packaging is infinitely bright, and it needs courageous people in the industry to climb up.

She said, I have worked in the Metal Container Committee for 15 years, and I have a deep affection for the metal packaging industry, and I deeply love my work. I have been working hard in the spirit of dedication, progress, unity and pragmatism.The goal of the work of the Metal Container Committee is to strengthen self-construction, consolidate the foundation, do practical things for member companies and achieve real results, and improve the cohesion of the metal packaging industry in recent years, starting from three services.For future work goals, let’s talk about the role of industry associations: First, industry associations must be in place to manage the industry, and the unique advantages of industry associations should be brought into play, such as information communication and release, economic and technical indicators Statistics, technical exchanges, promotion of scientific and technological achievements, formulation and revision of product standards, training of talents, appraisal of scientific and technological achievements, etc.The second is to put forward suggestions and opinions on the industrial policies and regulations of government agencies, reflect the demands of member companies to the government on behalf of the industry, and formulate industry development plans. Comprehensive and in-depth international exchange activities, focusing on promoting the economic and technological cooperation of metal packaging between China and foreign countries.I hope that through our efforts, the Metal Container Committee will truly become a member family that is supported by everyone.
