At present, mergers and acquisitions can be divided into three categories: one is the merger between paint companies, including "big and small" and "small and medium alliances"; such as Haihong old man's acquisition of Schaepman in the Netherlands, and the second is the industrial integration of upstream and downstream coatings mergers and acquisitions; such as Nippon's acquisition of Supper; third is the diversification of cross-field industries.

With the intensification of industry competition, the event of big fish eating small fish will also be staged in the coatings industry, and mergers and acquisitions may become normal.

HC Coatings Network News: Yu Fan's entrepreneurship was accidental.

In 2012, he just graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and worked in a new material company in Wuxi.
When he went to a plastic mask factory to run business, he inadvertently heard the boss complain to people: "This mask looks simple, but it is coated with an anti-fog layer, and it can be sold for 30 yuan.
Unfortunately, it is all imported.
No one does it in China.
What?" Yu Fan, who was "picking an ear," discussed with his old classmate Xu Zisheng the next day: "You have a master's degree in materials engineering from Wuhan University of Technology, can you come up with this kind of anti-fog coating?"

Young people do what they say! Half a month later, a pair of anti-fog transparent plastic masks came out.
The boss carefully looked at the sample and made a decision on the spot: OK!

Having customers first, products later, Yu Fan feels very lucky.
For the first batch of orders, he and his classmates made a net profit of 100,000 yuan.

Yu Fan resigned decisively, returned to his hometown of Huangzhou, and invested 300,000 yuan with his classmates to register Huanggangjie Innovative Material Technology Co.
, Ltd.
The division of labor between the two: Yu Fan ran the market, Xu Zisheng attacked R&D.

The business started quite easily.
The company only produces paint, buys plastic sheets, then finds an OEM to apply the paint to the plastic sheets, and then delivers the molded sheets to the customer, who then assembles the lanyard, and the finished product goes on the market.
Relying on the price advantage of half the price of imported products from South Korea, Yu Fan quickly developed more than 10 domestic companies that sold anti-fog transparent plastic masks into Jechuang's customers, and got the whole cake of this market segment.

The test ensued.

At the end of 2013, due to market reasons, the supply of an imported raw material necessary for anti-fog coatings was suddenly cut off, and the company fell into a crisis of suspension of production.

On the one hand, raw materials are out of stock, on the other hand, customers are urging them.
Under heavy pressure, Yu Fan and Xu Zisheng made every effort to develop alternatives.
Four months later, alternatives were released, and Yu Fan was not in a hurry to resume work.
After another two months of observation and confirmation of the stability of the product, the work was restarted.

Entering the production workshop and the production line, the pieces of cut plastic are sent to the soaking tank by the conveyor belt, covered with a layer of transparent paint, and then sent to the purple light by the conveyor belt to enjoy the purple light bath, and finally enter the winding machine.
The whole journey takes less than two minutes, and the ordinary plastic sheet has more anti-fog and anti-scratch "stunts", and its value immediately doubles.
   

Yu Fan introduced that the key UV curing technology for coatings comes from Jechuang's patents.
Compared with the traditional thermal curing process commonly used at home and abroad, this technology saves more than 80% of the energy consumption per unit area of ​​the anti-fog coating and increases the production efficiency by hundreds of times.

In 2014, JieChuang's sales amounted to more than 2.
1 million yuan.
The performance of the first four months of this year is the same as that of the whole year of last year.
"The cake of this market segment can actually expand rapidly and grow by geometric multiples.
" Yu Fan told reporters that the anti-fog coating was extended to swimming goggles, labor insurance glasses, car lights, motorcycle helmets, etc.
that also use plastic as the carrier.
The domain is a matter of course.

There are more than 20 similar swimming goggles companies in the country.
If they can develop into corporate customers, the prospects are immeasurable.

Small product, big market.
Yu Fan and his partners are opening the door to new markets one after another.
