In 2010, Kunming Machine Tool experienced revenue growth, but its profitability declined slightly below expectations. The company reported an operating income of 1.598 billion yuan, reflecting a 16.4% year-over-year increase. However, net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company dropped by 17.4% to 178 million yuan, with earnings per share standing at 0.34 yuan.
The revenue growth was primarily driven by the expansion in low-end machine tool sales, and the company expects this trend to continue and improve this year. In 2011, the overall output of the machine tool industry is anticipated to grow by approximately 35%. Despite this, the market for standard products remains tight, while demand for large-scale machine tools is relatively weak.
The company's downstream clients are spread across various sectors, and its sales performance closely mirrors industry trends. Notably, revenue from lying bed products surged by 78% year-on-year, while revenue from landing products fell by 25%. Output decreased by about 6%, mainly due to structural adjustments and price reductions during the first half of the year, which led to an 18% drop in average prices.
By the end of 2010, the new order structure became more balanced, with quarterly orders exceeding sales volume. This positive trend is expected to support steady revenue growth in 2011, with annual revenue growth potentially reaching around 20%. The introduction of German Heath technology is anticipated to enhance the company’s technological edge in heavy-duty machine tools, positioning it as a key growth driver in the coming years.
Profit decline in 2010 was attributed to product structure adjustments and lower unit prices for mid- to high-end products. The gross profit margin for the company’s main machine tool products and sales fell significantly, declining nearly 5 percentage points compared to the same period last year. Additionally, the gross profit margin for high-efficiency energy-saving compressors dropped sharply, dragging down the overall gross profit margin (27.2%) by almost 7 percentage points year-on-year. The decline in gross margin was mainly due to a higher proportion of low-end products and reduced pricing for mid- to high-end products.
Looking ahead, demand for high-end products is expected to steadily recover. The company’s ongoing construction of a heavy-duty casting base will not only meet the production needs of high-end products but also increase self-sufficiency in castings, supporting the recovery of gross margins. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the state has placed significant emphasis on high-efficiency and energy-saving products. Although the company’s current high-efficiency energy-saving compressors are still in a break-even state, policy support could boost sales and improve gross margins.
Gao Minghui, Chairman of Kunming Machine Tool, stated that 2011 marks the first year of the national "Twelfth Five-Year Plan." It is a year filled with both opportunities and challenges, though opportunities outweigh the challenges. The country is focusing on the development of the equipment manufacturing industry as a strategic emerging sector. For Kunming Machine Tool, this presents a rare opportunity for growth. However, rising inflation, increasing raw material costs, and intensified competition pose significant challenges as well.

Material Characteristics
- High-Strength Polyester Fabric
- Most flexible lift gate curtains are made of high-strength polyester fabric. This material offers exceptional tensile strength, enabling it to withstand the stress from frequent opening and closing cycles while maintaining structural integrity over long-term use.
- For example, in large logistics warehouses requiring hundreds of daily operations, this fabric ensures durability without tearing or deformation.
- PVC Coating
- Some curtains feature a PVC coating for enhanced waterproofing, effectively blocking rainwater, condensation, and moisture infiltration.
- Ideal for environments like food processing plants, where hygiene and moisture resistance are critical, this coating prevents contamination and simplifies maintenance by repelling dust and debris.
Functional Features
- Thermal Insulation
- The dual-layer curtain design creates an insulating air gap that minimizes heat transfer between indoor and outdoor environments.
- In cold northern regions, this reduces heating costs by retaining warmth, while in summer, it blocks external heat to maintain cooler indoor temperatures.
- Noise Reduction
- The material composition and layered structure absorb and dampen sound waves. In industrial settings near machinery, this design mitigates noise pollution, ensuring quieter workspaces and reducing operational disruptions.
- Wind Resistance
- Engineered with reinforced structural connections and durable materials, the curtains withstand high wind pressures. Coastal or open-area installations benefit from this design, ensuring stable performance during storms.
