The global manufacturing industry is undergoing profound changes, and green, low-carbon and digital intelligence have become the mainstream. In the face of market competition, cost pressure and "going to sea" opportunities, the automotive industry urgently needs to reduce costs and increase efficiency through technological innovation, grasp the trend of new materials and new processes, respond to international challenges and cultivate core talents.
In order to gather the wisdom of the industry and explore the way to break the situation, on November 08, 2025, the automobile branch of China surface engineering association successfully held the "fastener forward-looking technology and strategy salon" in Jiading, Shanghai ". The salon brought together fastener engineers and industry experts from SAIC Volkswagen, SAIC passenger cars, SAIC GM, ideal, Xiaomi, Weilai, Xiaopeng, Geely and other OEMs to jointly carry out a high-quality technical and strategic exchange.
1. Focus on Core Issues and Conspire Innovation Paths
The salon was presided over by Li Dawei, Secretary General of the Automobile Branch, and conducted in-depth discussions around the following core topics to directly attack the pain points of the industry and discuss countermeasures:
Material innovation: the application and development of green low-carbon environmental protection new materials, material technology breakthroughs, and surface treatment new materials have become the focus of hot discussion, providing new ideas for the green transformation of the industry.
Parts and application innovation: In response to the unique needs of new energy vehicles, Salon shared innovative solutions such as special structures and integrated functional parts to help the lightweight and high-performance development of the vehicle.
Overseas market trend analysis: analyze the fastener market demand, competition pattern and development trend of major countries and regions in the world.
Pain point analysis and response: around the raw material price fluctuations, homogenization competition, key technology domestic substitution, green manufacturing and other practical challenges, the scene launched a pragmatic and constructive discussion.
2. thought agitation, consensus cohesion
