M&A Analysis and Research on Excavator Industry of P.R.C 2007

Abstract:

1. The Status quo of excavator industry

Based on data bases about sales on excavator, the figure from CEMA to China National Construction Machinery Association, the sales has broken the record high as 45,000 units in 2006 along, up 58.6% over 2005. Most manufacturers in this sector have enjoyed a leapfrogging development.

As export grows dramatically, the international share is not large. In 2006, export figure increased 149% over last year. However, that number was sharing 9% within total sales which puts contribution rate merely at 15% based on sales of small size of excavator.

Volume of produce and sales and growth rate of excavator from 2000 to 2006

According to statistics, China construction machinery shares 14.6% home and broad, the number being 1.56% without domestic market, which indicates that most sales of construction machinery was sold domestically. Therefore, it seems like putting a square peg in a round hole to be compatible with international market.

Though construction machinery has a rosy picture in overseas market, the proverbial problem remained in quality and post-sale service of small-size excavator. There has been a long way to go as to stake out international market. General excavator played a important role while big model experienced a surging growth in sales.

Imports and exports of China 's excavators from 2000 to 2006

In 2006, general excavator with handling capacity at 20 to 25 tons has realized 41% in sale growth over last year contributing 41% to annual growth. It's the major market for wide array of excavator manufacturers to grab. The handling capacity above 30 tons and 6 to 15 tons doubled growth in 2006 over last year, which is the impetus behind 43% of contribution rate to annual growth.

2. The Motives of M&A in China 's excavator industry

China 's excavator industry has been dominated by foreign company and joint venture that shared 95% of market prior to 2003. Number of domestic brands has taken a new shape with outstanding performance. The problem though is that the major parts of machinery such as engine and hydraulic components were come from overseas. With absence of system components as core competitiveness, the outlook of domestic excavator remains clouded. The high dependence on imported components puts the development in limits.

Imported core components for domestic excavator have put the feet of China 's manufacturers in the fire with problem in accessories supply cycle. Many of a professional foreign components suppliers has been met the huge demand from foreign companies while due to domestic production has been small in scale and long accessories supply cycle, China's counterparts have mist the demand peak which offers the golden opportunity to grab the market share.

China 's companies have made two or more suppliers available as to ward off risk from long accessories supply cycle. However, China 's companies have been making it dreadful to foreign ones with favorable market performance though the both sides were not on the same page yet. The friction in parts production is expected to be heated up when domestic sales is up to 5000 units or obtaining the bargaining position with foreign firms.

(1) Precision for the components hinges on working condition of excavator, especially the high demand to hydraulic components.

Excavator valve is the main high-pressure system components. It features precious structure with number of trenches and crossing within. The most daunting task is its openness measured by millimeter. Therefore, it's quality rather than design that is concerned in valve manufacturing. Many foreign brands such as Kawasaki and Komatsu are high in precision and low in break-down. By contrast, precision of China 's early products is less than one in ten let alone one in thousand or ten thousand. The fact that any problem especially in hydraulic system should not occurred in 24 hours work has thwarted the domestic excavator to meet the need of costumers.

(2) Engineering hurdles. Industrial level factors most in the quality of construction machinery components while craftsmanship in casting and assembly technique. Excavator valve as core part of accessories calls for well-controlled casting technology. Just as the main pump of hydraulic excavators, cavity is deadly defect under the high pressure along with clearance being major concern here. Unfortunately, manufacturers for casting in high-pressure pump and valve are few to number.

(3) Investment. There always has been a gigantic consortium behind manufacturers for internationally accepted accessories since the R&D for construction hydraulic components has been unrelenting for tremendous input of financing, researching and products revamping. With enough capital, accessory industry will take shape in China . However, foreign participation is

A. Capital operation and joint venture. As the world Fortune 500 having lowered their cost, foreign companies got swarmed in China with their technology to take advantage of its good economic performance. China 's parts manufacturers have been able to take part of accessories manufacturing with non-stream know-how as long as having bills as hands. However, such very investment constitutes kind of risk under globalization in that the lower cost than foreign ones through by this move remains unanswerable. At the same time, the foreign manufacturers have been looked down this way of joint venture instead of exclusives.

B. Cooperate with main part manufacturers. Some insiders believed that the ideal way to stir up excavator accessories manufacturing techniques is collaborative work between main part manufacturers and accessories ones. The problem has been that this way is not as technically as possible from poorly rendered domestic accessories producers within industrial chain cross the whole construction machinery sector while main part manufacturers desperately sought for capable partners.

Accessories manufacturing for small model of excavator will be the break-point in this sector based on what has been shown over the years. The fact that oil-cylinder, hydraulic accessories, oil pipeline, pump and valve for small model are east to make and widely acceptable to customers since this model shows pressure at 20 MPa and not critical for working condition while hydraulic pressure in 20 ton model enjoys 34.3MPa or so and 30MPa at minimum. At the same time, from the main part manufacturers' point of view, the performance is concerned them most though the well-controlled quality of hydraulic accessories is equally important. The problem is one year period for products property testing in real work. In that sense, domestic parts producers have been less profitable in number of targeted models. On the other hand, small one offered golden opportunity with low requirement for technology which caters to domestic parts producers. Hydraulic systems for pump, valve and main valve have been made in Zhejiang Province . Therefore, manufacturing for small model as enrich experience and know-how is way to produce high –pressure hydraulic accessories. With growing production and sales in excavator domestically, more room will created to domestic accessories producers. In spite of the fact that it will take domestic hydraulic accessories producers five years to make difference, number of technology will be worked out in the near future.

3. The M&A trend in China 's excavator industry

From 2006, the market has been gaining momentum. Based on the figure from CEMA to China National Construction Machinery Association, as of 2006, the sales of excavator will be above 45,000 units.

Under national macro-control, the over all structure will develop vertically while push forward the M&A cross-the-board. The business model will enjoys leaps and bounds against current depressive stage in excavator industry can be seen in 2007 following improved demand and supply, reduced cost and the expectation for socialist new country side. The transformed mode features the scenario where big domestic machinery manufacturers take over small ones.
