Deep Technical Cultivation and Cross-Border Breakthroughs: The Growth Code of Automobile Parts Factories

In the wave of the automotive industry's transformation towards new energy and intelligence, parts factories are no longer "supporting roles dependent on vehicle manufacturers". Instead, through technological breakthroughs, intelligent manufacturing, and industrial chain extension, they have become core forces of innovation in the industry. From core engine components to robotic electric joints, leading parts factories are relying on "technology as the root and intelligent manufacturing as the wings" to solve industry competition problems and open up new growth curves.

I. Technological Breakthroughs: From "Following" to "Single-Item Champions"

Technological research and development are the core for parts factories to gain a foothold. Leading enterprises have long moved beyond "imitation and replication" and shifted towards independent innovation and joint research and development. Fulin Seiko started with engine tappets, broke through the core technology of the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system in 2006, achieved mass production in 2009, and the product was awarded the "Manufacturing Single-Item Champion Product" in 2022. To cope with the new energy transformation, the enterprise further developed the E-VVT (Electric VVT) product, which effectively reduces engine carbon emissions and meets global environmental protection policy requirements.

While深耕细分领域, technological cross-border integration has become a new trend. Relying on the "micron-level processing accuracy" technology of automotive reducers, Fulin Seiko has expanded into the field of robotic intelligent electric joints. By simply adjusting to meet lightweight requirements, it has saved 40% of the time for technical research. Its independently developed flexible wheel components (with a thickness of only 0.2-0.5 mm) have passed 32 tests on accuracy, torque, and fatigue life, breaking domestic technical barriers and becoming a core parts supplier for embodied robots.

II. Intelligent Manufacturing: The Core Engine for Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement

"Intelligent transformation and digital conversion" are key paths for parts factories to enhance competitiveness. Fulin Seiko launched intelligent transformation in 2015, established unified data standards, and realized full-process control through intelligent robotic arms and automated production lines. After transforming 3 production lines in its reducer workshop, both production efficiency and capacity increased by 25%, with a monthly capacity of 60,000 sets, and the product defect rate dropped to one-third of the industry average.

The cost advantage brought by intelligence is significant. The enterprise saves about 20 million yuan in manufacturing and operation costs each year through process innovation and technological transformation. In the first three quarters of 2024, its operating income increased by 54.43% year-on-year. At the same time, intelligent production ensures product consistency. Some parts factories in Guangdong have achieved precise assembly of components with advanced comprehensive inspection tools, making vehicle operation more stable and reliable.

III. Industrial Chain Extension: Building Long-Term Competitiveness

The development of parts factories is no longer limited to a single product but is moving towards "full-chain collaboration". Fulin Seiko has established a research and development innovation ecosystem through cooperation with universities such as Southwest Jiaotong University and the University of Electronic Science and Technology. It has accumulated 334 authorized patents and 23 software copyrights in the field of auto parts, building a technological moat.

At the supply chain level, leading enterprises have formed a strong industrial agglomeration effect. Fulin Seiko's annual procurement amount reaches 3 billion yuan, and it has established decades-long cooperative relationships with many suppliers, with local suppliers accounting for about 30%. Through upstream and downstream collaboration, it reduces costs and ensures supply stability. This dual advantage of "technology + supply chain" allows parts factories to maintain resilience amid industry fluctuations.

Article 2: Breaking Through Cross-Border Barriers: The Way to Optimize the Supply Chain of Auto Parts Factories in the Southeast Asian Market

Introduction

The scale of the Southeast Asian auto parts market continues to expand, but the three major pain points of "customs clearance delays, long logistics timeliness, and slow inventory response" have become major obstacles for Chinese auto parts factories to go overseas. A leading auto parts enterprise has adopted the "localized customs declaration + overseas warehouse stockpiling" model, reducing the cross-border timeliness in Southeast Asia from 25 days to 7 days and the out-of-stock rate from 18% to 3%, providing a replicable overseas expansion plan for the industry.

I. Core Pain Points in the Southeast Asian Market

Auto parts factories going overseas to Southeast Asia need to face full-link challenges. In the customs clearance link, there are great differences in language and certification requirements among countries. Vietnam requires declaration in Vietnamese, and Malaysia requires SIRIM certification. A batch of engine filters was detained by customs for 15 days because the certification was not handled in advance. In terms of logistics, the traditional sea freight timeliness is 12 days, and air freight costs are 5 times that of sea freight. Moreover, the last-mile delivery in remote areas takes 48 hours, making it difficult to balance timeliness and cost.

Inventory management is also tricky. Some factories have scattered warehouses in multiple Southeast Asian countries, and data silos make it impossible to transfer inventory across regions. A batch of 200 old-fashioned generators overstocked in a Malaysian warehouse could not be transferred despite demand in Indonesia, resulting in a discount loss of 1.5 million yuan. In addition, the market characteristics of Southeast Asia, such as "many failures in the rainy season and strong demand during festivals", put forward higher requirements for the accuracy of stockpiling.

II. Localized Customs Declaration: Breaking Customs Clearance Barriers

To solve customs clearance problems, successful enterprises have built a "multi-port localized customs declaration network". They have set up local teams in core cities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and Bangkok, Thailand, equipped with professionals familiar with local languages and policies, reducing document verification time from 5 days to 8 hours. At the same time, a multi-language customs declaration template library has been established, covering customs declarations, commercial invoices, product certifications, etc., with the accuracy rate increased to 99%, avoiding delays caused by document errors.

Advance compliance layout is key. Factories need to handle localized certifications in advance for different markets, such as Indonesia's SNI certification and Thailand's TISI certification, and synchronize tariff policy changes in real-time through systems. A batch of brake pads exported to Thailand took advantage of the policy early warning to enjoy the tariff reduction from 10% to 5%, saving costs and accelerating customs clearance.

III. Overseas Warehouse Layout: Reconstructing Logistics and Inventory Systems

Overseas warehouses are the core to improving timeliness. Leading enterprises adopt the "regional central warehouse + front warehouse" model, setting up 3 regional central warehouses in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam; Bangkok, Thailand; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to store full-category SKUs. Front warehouses focus on high-frequency and in-demand parts such as brake pads and spark plugs, achieving delivery to surrounding markets within 24 hours.

Through data-driven stockpiling, factories predict demand based on characteristics such as the rainy season and festivals in Southeast Asia. They increased the stock of windshield wipers by 50% in Vietnam before the rainy season, significantly reducing the out-of-stock rate. At the same time, an inventory sharing system has been established to support cross-regional transfers. The old-fashioned generators urgently needed by an Indonesian dealer were transferred from the Malaysian warehouse and arrived within 3 days, avoiding the 20-day timeliness of replenishing from China.

IV. Full-Link Optimization: Enhancing Customer Experience

The collaboration between logistics and after-sales services is key to retaining overseas customers. Factories cooperate with local logistics providers such as Vietnam's GHTK and Thailand's KerryExpress to optimize last-mile delivery, reducing suburban delivery timeliness from 48 hours to 12 hours. For urgent orders, a combined plan of "direct delivery from overseas warehouses + air freight replenishment" is launched. For example, the engine pistons urgently needed by a Thai repair shop for emergency repairs were delivered within 24 hours through overseas warehouses.

In addition, factories provide multi-language technical support and localized after-sales services, such as Malay installation manuals and real-time logistics tracking services, to solve the worries of overseas customers. This all-round optimization of "compliance + timeliness + service" allows enterprises to establish long-term competitiveness in the Southeast Asian market.
