　　In Yichang, Hubei Lidi Machine Tool Co., Ltd. has a high reputation and reputation. Its predecessor was Yichang Machine Tool Factory established in 1969. In the field of metal recycling equipment for 50 spring, summer, autumn and winter, from the baler to the first portal shear, to the first domestic scrap crushing line, Lidi has been leading the development direction of China's scrap processing equipment. Become a well-known equipment manufacturing and R&D enterprise in the renewable resource industry.
　　Give a glimpse into the history of corporate change and see the trajectory of advancing with the times
　　 In 1969, Wuzhong Technical School moved to Yichang, and Yichang City Machine Tool Factory was established with Yichang Maintenance Station to produce surface grinders and lathes. At the beginning of reform and opening up, the machine tool factory and Yichang No. 1 Machinery Factory merged to form the "Yichang Machine Tool Industry Company", which was commissioned by the State Administration of Materials to produce scrap car recycling equipment, mainly balers and crocodile scrap shears. In the era of planned economy, "Yichang Machine Tool" has become a shining business card of the province's machinery industry.
　　 Relying on products to stabilize the market, the company has successfully developed YD81-100, 160, 250 three types of balers, 160 tons of crocodile scrap shears and cylinder crushers. In 1986, the company successfully produced China's first Q91Y series portal shearing machine, which was named the first batch of pilot enterprises for scientific and technological progress by the Ministry of Machinery.
　　 In 1996, it was confirmed by the Provincial Reform Commission to be a state-owned holding joint-stock company established by a fundraiser and was renamed "Hubei Lidi Machine Tool Co., Ltd.". In the same year, the company passed the ISO9000 quality system certification and at the same time obtained the American FMRC quality system certification, becoming the first enterprise in the industry to pass the certification at one time.
In 2006, in response to the wave of reform, Lidi implemented a private restructuring. The original state-owned 40 million shares were withdrawn. The development goal of "government transfer of property rights, employee status transformation, and enterprise transformation mechanism" was achieved. Private shareholders established Yichang Lidi Environmental Technology Group Co., Ltd. controls Hubei Lidi Machine Tool Co., Ltd. In 2013, all the company's equity was transferred to Jiangsu Tianqi Group, and the company's development has leapt to a new level and is full of new vitality. In 2016, it was awarded the title of "China Excellent Equipment Supplier for Scrap Vehicle Recycling and Dismantling" issued by China Material Recycling Association.
　　 After many years of baptism, Lidi has developed into a large-scale modern enterprise focusing on the development and production of metal recycling machinery and environmental protection equipment, integrating scientific research, development, manufacturing, operation, and foreign trade. The company's main product, scrap steel recycling machinery, has a market share of 75% in the domestic market. There are 5 specialized chemical plants, ranking first in the industry.
　　 Rely on innovation to set the trend and win the market with quality
　　 "As a 50-year-old company, Lidi is still active at the forefront of the industry, not by luck, but by strong innovation capabilities and excellent product quality." said Li Mingbo, general manager of Hubei Lidi Machine Tool Co., Ltd. Every transformation of Lidi closely follows the pulse of the times. With advanced technology, strong research and development capabilities, keen eyes and mature management concepts, the company has become a leader in the industry.
　　 Over the years, the company has continued to increase investment in research and development of new products to maintain its competitiveness in the market. In 2008, China's first PSX-80104 scrap steel crushing production line and the first Y81-1000 metal hydraulic baler were developed. The postgraduate workstations of Wuhan University of Technology and Three Gorges University have been listed in the company, which greatly enhanced the company's research and development capabilities. In 2016, the Ministry of Science and Technology's "863" plan-the key technology research project for the recycling and dismantling of decommissioned passenger vehicles and recycling passed the acceptance.
　　In order to cope with the unfavorable situations of the international and Chinese metal markets, such as decelerating product supply and demand, low-level fluctuations in upstream and downstream prices, intensified low-profit competition, and forced withdrawal from the weak, Lidi Company vigorously expanded its business scope and accelerated its transformation. In addition to sticking to the scrap steel processing industry, in the first half of 2015 alone, it has successively introduced multiple project teams such as waste plastics and rubber processing equipment, urban and kitchen waste processing and high-end crushers, to expand the industrial chain and enter the field of environmental protection equipment.
　　 At present, in the five major sectors of scrap steel processing, automobile dismantling, non-ferrous metal processing and sorting, comprehensive utilization of renewable resources, and environmental protection and energy conservation, Lidi provides users with equipment, application solutions and supporting services. Products are exported to Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa and other places, and have established good cooperative relations with customers in France, the United States, Russia and other countries and regions.
　　 Steady domestically, seek global, extend enterprise industry chain
　　 Since 2016, the domestic steel market has gradually recovered under the stimulation of a package of stable growth policies.
In order to realize the leap-forward development of the renewable resources industry, Lidi has worked with Tianqi Group to build an automated assembly line for automobile dismantling, providing a one-stop package from factory design to capacity planning, from equipment selection to installation and financing, joint ventures, and mortgage guarantees. service.
　　Lidi also realizes remote diagnosis and maintenance of equipment through the use of the network's timely and efficient service platform, and realizes big data connection with customers. In order to create a Chinese brand in the field of comprehensive utilization of resource recycling equipment, go abroad and enter the international market, Lidi's official website has opened four language services in Chinese, English, Russian, and Arabic, and joined the Middle East Recycling Agency (BMR) and American Waste International organizations such as the Recycling Association (ISRI) have strengthened cooperation with overseas markets.
"Lidi’s short-term goal is to use Tianqi Group’s high-quality platform to become one of China’s largest automotive dismantling equipment suppliers in the shortest possible time." When it comes to future development, Li Mingbo is ambitious: "Rely on our own technology and Product advantages, expand product coverage, extend the industrial chain, actively participate in the cooperation and competition of the global industrial chain, and become a world-class equipment manufacturer and service provider."
