Nowadays, environmental protection is the general trend, and environmental protection is an opportunity. Enterprises should seize the favorable opportunities to expand the market, actively cooperate with rectification and reduce losses as soon as possible.

随着原料价格的不断上涨和劳动力成本的不断提高，以及环保政策的日渐严苛，企业的竞争优势正在逐渐减弱，企业也急需探索一种新的发展方式寻求突破口;而近几年紧固件行业频频出现的“产业转移”热风成为企业热衷的形式之一。
