英国汽车制造商引领供应商进入中国 China fuels revival for motor suppliers

A Chinese company yesterday opened one of the world’s biggest motor press shops for large car parts — with the help of 40 engineers from Coventry.	在来自英国考文垂的40名工程师帮助下，一家中国公司昨日开启了世界最大的冲压生产线之一，生产大型汽车部件。
Shandong Yongtai in northern China, a privately owned industrial group, is using the skills and knowhow of Covpress, a 100-year-old West Midlands precision metal pressing company it acquired in 2013.	私有制造企业山东永泰(Shandong Yongtai)将利用英国考普莱公司(Covpress)的技术和专业知识，后者是它在2013年收购的一家位于英国西米德兰兹(West Midlands)的精密金属冲压公司，已有百年历史。
The link has already transformed the fortunes of the UK company, resulting in increased investment and a near-50 per cent rise in its workforce. Turnover is up 70 per cent in the two years since the takeover.	这场联姻已经改变了考普莱的命运，带来了新的投资，雇员人数增加了近50%。在被收购后的两年时间里，该公司营业额已增加70%。
The Covpress plant in Shandong province, when operational in March, will have the capacity to produce £1.5bn worth of pressings a year, more than 10 times the size of the UK operation.	考普莱位于中国山东的工厂3月份投产之后，每年可生产价值15亿英镑的冲压件，是其英国工厂的10倍多。
Kit Halliday, joint chief executive and 30 per cent shareholder in the Coventry company, says the group can now supply the global operations of all the big car manufacturers.	联名首席执行官、持有考普莱30%股份的大股东基特•哈利迪(Kit Halliday)表示，该公司如今可以为所有大型汽车制造商的全球生产线供应产品。
“If Yongtai only wanted to supply Chinese carmakers they could have done that without buying us. But we open doors for them,” he says.	他说：“如果永泰只想供应中国汽车制造商，他们不用收购我们就能做到。但我们为他们带来了新的机会。”
The collaboration is just the latest example of growing Chinese interest in the UK motor sector.	双方的合作只是中方对英国汽车业兴趣日益浓厚的最新例证。
Already four of China’s big carmakers have manufacturing or research and development operations in the UK. Shanghai Automotive, Changan and Lifan all own or work with UK technical centres while Geely, owner of the Volvo brand, manufactures the famous black London taxi, having bought Manganese Bronze in 2013.	已有4家中国大型汽车制造商在英国设立了生产线或研发中心。上汽(Shanghai Automotive)、长安(Changan)和力帆(Lifan)都在英国设有技术中心或与英国的技术中心达成了合作，沃尔沃(Volvo)品牌的所有者吉利(Geely)则在2013年收购英国锰铜控股公司(Manganese Bronze)之后，生产著名的黑色伦敦出租车。
The UK car market is enjoying record sales, with exports accounting for 85 per cent of the vehicles produced. However, the lack of suitable local suppliers has meant manufacturers import about 60 per cent of components by value, compared with 30 per cent in Germany.	英国汽车市场销量正处于创纪录水平，生产的85%车辆用于出口。然而，缺乏合适的本土供应商意味着，制造商所用零件的进口率为60%左右（以价值计），而德国的这个数字为30%。
Global manufacturers say they would like to increase the level of parts purchasing done in the UK.	跨国汽车制造商表示，他们愿意增加在英国本土采购零部件的比重。
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders in November estimated there were £5bn worth of new business opportunities for UK supply chain companies, if they were ready to make the required investments.	英国汽车制造贸易协会(SMMT)去年11月估计，如果愿意进行必要的投资，英国供应链企业能获得价值50亿英镑的新商业机会。
Currently, around £11bn is spent with UK suppliers by global car manufacturers — but a report in 2012 by KPMG, the professional services firm, suggested this figure could double by 2016.	目前，跨国汽车制造商从英国供应商那里采购金额在110亿英镑左右，但专业服务公司毕马威(KPMG) 2012年的一份报告显示，这个数字到2016年可能翻番。
But UK supply chain companies are typically family-owned, risk-averse and much smaller than their German counterparts, with an average of 30 employees compared with 180 in Germany.	但英国供应链企业往往是家族企业，它们厌恶风险，规模也远远小于德国同行，平均雇员人数为30人，而德国的这个数字为180人。
Recent decades have also seen a hollowing out, with press shops closing and the loss of key capabilities.	近几十年来，英国供应链还出现了“空心化”，许多冲压厂倒闭，一些关键的产能丧失。
John Leech, a partner with KPMG and author of the report on the UK motor supply chain, says component makers have to internationalise to survice.	毕马威合伙人、上述有关英国汽车供应链的报告的作者约翰•李奇(John Leech)表示，零部件制造商必须走向国际才能生存下去。
Mr Leech says much of the impetus is coming from companies such as Jaguar Land Rover, which has large operations in the UK but which is now also making cars under a joint venture in China for the local market. “The choice for companies like JLR is to find a local Chinese supplier or persuade their UK suppliers to follow them to China,” says Mr Leech.	李奇表示，很大一部分推动力来自捷豹路虎(Jaguar Land Rover)这样的企业，它们在英国有规模很大的生产线，但现在也在中国通过合资企业为中国本土市场生产汽车。李奇说：“像捷豹路虎这样的企业面临的选择是，寻找一家中国本土供应商，或者说服他们的英国供应商跟随他们进军中国。”
Sertec, a components supplier in Birmingham, has a small contract toolmaking operation in China and is understood to be considering setting up a manufacturing operation to supply JLR.	伯明翰零部件供应商Sertec在中国有一间不大的合同工具制造厂，据悉正考虑设立制造生产线，供应捷豹路虎。
“Local content rules means we have to be there,” says Grant Adams, Sertec chief executive.	Sertec首席执行官格兰特•亚当斯(Grant Adams)表示：“零部件采购本地化率的规定，意味着我们必须在当地设厂。”
Delcam, which makes design software for motor toolmakers, went worldwide a long time ago, as the sourcing of component parts became more globalised.	随着零部件采购变得更加国际化，面向汽车工具制造的软件开发商Delcam早已走向全球。
“For us, where cars are made doesn’t have that much impact. We can supply companies making cars or car parts whether they’re in China, the UK, America, Brazil or Mexico. We basically follow the manufacturers around the world,” says Peter Dickin, marketing director.	Delcam营销总监彼得•迪金(Peter Dickin)说：“汽车在哪里制造对我们的影响并没有那么大。无论汽车制造企业或零部件企业在中国、英国、美国、巴西还是墨西哥，我们都能做它们的供应商。基本上制造商去哪里，我们就跟去哪里。”
