In October 1969, Premier Zhou Enlai, who had many things to do, finally approved the construction plan of the Second Film Factory after meeting with the site selectors for the Second Film Factory five times. After three years of site selection, it was decided on January 30, 1972 that the second film factory would be built in Wangzhuang, Banchang Commune, Neixiang County, Nanyang City, Henan Province. At that time, the construction of a polyester branch factory started in the suburbs of Nanyang. In the spring of 1973, the rumbling sound of cannons that started construction woke up the Funiu Mountains, which had been sleeping for thousands of years. The earliest entrepreneurs of Erjiao came to this narrow ravine two kilometers long and with an average width of less than 300 meters from all over the country. After four years of rain, snow, wind and frost, and tens of thousands of builders working day and night, the Second Film Factory was finally completed and put into operation on July 27, 1977. At that time, the product plan and construction scale were: 50 million meters of film film, half of which was color and black and white, 5 million meters of military film, and 20 million meters of developed copies. Due to various reasons, the quality of the products produced was not up to par. It suffered continuous losses for three years after being put into production, with the total loss reaching 12.35 million yuan. At that time, the factory was in a difficult situation and people's hearts were floating. The decision-makers of Erjiao did not become discouraged. Instead, after in-depth investigation and research, they saw through the difficulties the favorable conditions for the survival and development of Erjiao, and put forward the struggle of "turning around losses in three years, establishing a foothold in three years, and developing in five years." Goal, survive in difficult situations! The adjusted leadership team leads the entire factory staff to work hard and unite for progress. Streamline employees, deal with the remaining problems of infrastructure, organize technical research, and quality research. In 1980, it made a profit of 4.26 million yuan in one fell swoop and got rid of the hat of losses for consecutive years.
With the development of reform and opening up and the market economy, there have been fewer and fewer mandatory plans, and market competition has become increasingly fierce. Erjiao has been pushed into the market by the wave of reform and opening up. Decision makers are once again faced with a new test. How to make correct business decisions is an important issue related to the future destiny of Erjiao and the prosperity and decline of Erjiao. After repeated demonstrations and expert consultation, decision-makers believe that information plays an increasingly important role in modern life. It is an irresistible trend for offset printing to replace lead printing in China's printing industry, and for "light and electricity" to eliminate "lead and fire". Therefore, it is determined that the domestic printing film market has huge potential. On the other hand, through extensive investigation, it was discovered that black and white film would show a downward trend, and a decisive decision was made to stop the production of black and white film and start developing printing film. In 1981, Erjiao pilot-produced YZ-600 printing film and held a trial symposium in Beijing. After that, it was put on the market and became very popular. In 1982, the profit was 550,000 yuan, and in 1983, the profit was more than 700,000 yuan. In September 1983, the "Huaguang" brand printing and platemaking film appraisal meeting was held in Nanyang, and more than 10 products passed the appraisal. So far, the Huaguang series of printing films developed by Erjiao have become Erjiao's flagship product. Its output is increasing at a rate of 20% every year, its market share is increasing year by year, and the supply of products exceeds demand. Erjiao has been listed by the state as a key enterprise for the transformation of printing technology and equipment during the "Sixth Five-Year Plan" and the "Seventh Five-Year Plan". In 1987, the leaders of Erjiao assessed the situation, based on the specific conditions of the printing market, and after full feasibility demonstration, decisively decided to introduce technology from the American Polygon Company and equipment from the British Dumac Company to build a high-starting, high-speed, 80-meter printing line. The No. 1 PS plate production line, which reached the international advanced level in the 1980s and has an annual design capacity of 2 million square meters, was completed and put into operation in May 1989. It met the domestic printing industry's demand for PS plates at that time, played a role in replacing imports, and opened up broad prospects for the development of China's printing photosensitive materials. In May 1995, the chemical test run of the No. 2 PS plate production line was successful; in September 1996, the third PS plate production line - the light printing production line was put into operation, and the chemical test run assessment was completed; in September 1999, the fourth PS plate production line - --The high-speed PS plate production line was put into operation. At this time, Erjiao's PS plate production capacity had reached 18 million square meters. In the mid-1990s, in accordance with the development trend of the world's printing industry and facing the fierce competition in the printing market, Erjiao people once again clearly realized that the computer platemaking (CTP) market would be the strategic focus of competition for printing plates in the future. With the popularization of CTP equipment, CTP plates will inevitably replace PS plates.
Erjiao regards CTP as an important scientific research project and invests a lot of technical force and funds. At the 5th Beijing International Printing Technology Exhibition held in May 2001, Erjiao grandly launched the Huaguang brand thermal CTP plate to the industry. In one fell swoop, it ended the history of China having no CTP plates and broke the bottleneck restricting the development of CTP technology in China. In September 2002, Erjiao's CTP production line broke ground and was put into operation at the end of 2003, with an annual output of 12 million square meters. In 2005, in order to make Huaguang products closer to users and serve the market, Erjiao Holdings invested in building a PS plate production line in Changshu with an annual output of 8 million square meters. At this time, Erjiao's annual output of offset printing plates reached 4,200 Thousands of square meters. At the same time, Erjiao's film production line has continued to undergo technical transformation according to the needs of users, and its products have developed into a series of printed films of various models and specifications represented by red laser image documentaries. The annual production capacity reaches 15 million square meters. Erjiao also has two polyester film production lines with an annual production capacity of 5,000 tons.
In August 1992, Erjiao completed the relocation of its headquarters. In 1999, Erjiao completed the overall relocation. Today, in Wollongong, Nanyang, next to the famous Wuhou Temple, a new modern enterprise stands impressively. It adds an extraordinary atmosphere to the famous cultural city in the Central Plains.
From a summary of the development history of Erjiao; in the 1970s-----factory construction and trial production stage, it was difficult and hovering between life and death; in the 1980s-----adjustment In terms of product structure, printing film and PS plates opened the way and achieved initial development; in the 1990s, both production and sales exceeded 100 million yuan. Since then, it has developed and consolidated year by year, becoming the largest scientific research and production base for printing photosensitive materials in China. Entering the 21st century, facing a more complex, ever-changing and increasingly fierce market competition environment, Erjiao has increased technological innovation and management innovation, timely adjusted product structure, reduced costs, and implemented brand development strategies. The company's production and operations have made leaps and bounds. With the development, the production and sales scale has grown rapidly at a rate of over 100 million yuan, and the company has always maintained its leading position in the domestic industry.
On December 31, 2006, the new Huaguang Park was ceremoniously laid. The first phase of the project covers an area of ??about 500 acres, and the second phase of the project will cover an area of ??up to 1,000 acres after completion. In 2007, the first phase project of Huaguang Park with an annual output of 16 million square meters - the digital plate production line and its supporting public works projects has officially started construction. It is currently entering the equipment installation stage, and chemical testing is expected to be carried out by the end of 2008. Flexible resin plate production line projects, digital printing receiving material production line projects, diazo printed circuit board film production line projects, CTP laser plate making machine and printing photoelectric plate making material application center and other projects are actively preparing and will start construction one after another. After the completion of these projects, the company's production capacity of printing film and printing plates will firmly rank first in the country. Erjiao will become one of the world's largest suppliers of printing photosensitive material systems. Second Film Factory's leading position in the printing photosensitive material industry will be further strengthened. firm.
After more than 30 years of development, the company currently has total assets of 1.2 billion yuan and more than 3,000 employees, including more than 900 professional and technical personnel of various types. It has six printing plate production lines (including CTP production line) with a production capacity of 42 million square meters; one printing film production line with a production capacity of 15 million square meters; two polyester film production lines with a production capacity of 5,000 tons. The main products are: printing series plates (CTP plates - thermal type, violet laser type, UV type; PS plates - positive pattern type, negative pattern type, light printing type), printing series films (image documentaries, laser phototypesetting films, Photographic copies, etc.), polyester film, purple laser CTP plate making machine, polyester film, coating materials, flexible resin plates, digital printing receiving materials, supporting chemicals and other products, all products are branded with the "Huaguang" brand trademark. April 30, 2007 is a day that the people of Erjiao will never forget. Comrade Hu Jintao, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, visited the Second Film Factory to inspect the work. The General Secretary fully affirmed the technological innovation work of Erjiao. , placed ardent expectations on the development of the second rubber and the "Huaguang" brand, and gave important instructions to "hope that Lucai's second rubber will develop well and quickly" and "make the Huaguang brand famous in the international market". The general secretary’s personal inspection of No.2 Jiao was not only a great encouragement to No.2 Jiao, but also an important opportunity to promote the sound and rapid development of No.2 Jiao.
Currently, Huaguang already has CTP direct-to-plate offset printing plates and CTP system solutions with independent intellectual property rights and internationally advanced technology. The development of the second glue has stood at a new starting point. In the future, the second glue We will work harder to develop China's printing and photosensitive industry, take users as the center, provide users with first-class product quality and service quality, accelerate strategic transformation, and make the Huaguang brand always full of vitality. Achieve sound and rapid development of enterprises.
At present, my country's printing industry has entered a stage of rapid development. The world's printing industry is developing rapidly. Digitalization and networking will become the inevitable trend and mainstream of the development of printing technology in the future. Erjiao has been involved in the development of printing technology. At the forefront, we are also in the rapid whirlpool of market competition. Erjiao people, who have been baptized by more than 30 years of trials and hardships, and Huaguang brand, which has been tempered by the market for many years, have the confidence to defy difficulties and bravely face challenges! Create new achievements, achieve new achievements, and contribute to the development of the printing industry in China and the world!
