At the beginning of the meeting, the Secretary General of Industrial Truck Institution of China Construction Machinery Association Zhang Jie firstly introduced the purpose and significance of choosing the best industrial trucks suppliers in China.

“After the development and innovation in more than half a century, the industrial truck industry in China experienced obvious improvement in terms of developing environment, fast growth in the scale of production and sales, great optimization of product structure, dramatic enhancement of technological level and gradual sophistication of marketing service, becoming the number one market in the global world. Along with the rapid development of forklift enterprises, the matching parts enterprises also walked on the road of fast development to be more scaled, normalized and standardized, receiving eye-attractive achievements. A number of excellent matching parts suppliers emerged and became the support and guarantee for the industrial truck industry in China to develop in a better and faster way,” said Zhang Jie, “however, it was undeniable that the fundamental matching parts to the industrial truck industry in China was still weak in development with uneven manufacturing quality, especially the key parts including electric elements, hydraulic elements and driving parts that were heavily relying on the import, strongly hindering the continuous and healthy development of the industrial truck industry in China.”

“Now we need the twelfth five-year planning as the guidance of the whole industry so as to pay more attention and give more supports to the development of the matching parts industry taking the strategic and general perspectives to target at long-term growth,” Zhang Jie continued, “that is also the main reason why CITA holds this activity to choose the best matching parts suppliers in the industrial truck industry, through which the customers could know more about the development of the industry. These excellent suppliers can be the benchmarks of the industry, and those who are intending to enter the field of matching parts for industrial trucks and dedicated to push forward the progress of industrial truck industry can have more clear targets and options according to the deficiency of the industry, changing the traditional concepts to weigh much on the forklift trucks and less on the parts so as to promote the sound and smooth development of the whole industry.”

Meanwhile, Secretary General Zhang also pointed out that this election of top industrial truck suppliers and matching parts suppliers was a non-profitable activity organized by CITA. “Our tenet is to take Sincerity, Normalization, Coordination and Win-win as the keywords to inspire the matching parts enterprises in the industrial truck industry in China to go on a higher level, expand to a larger scale and march to a wider developing road, in order to give impetus to the industrial truck industry to transfer the developing method to realize a better and faster development,” said Zhang Jie, “it is an important issue related to the continuous and sound development of the whole industry, thus we need to stick to a high standard and starting point, to conduct along a strict and normalized way, assuring to be just and fair under the principle of high quality. To safeguard the seriousness and authority of the judging activity, CITA and the judging members will enhance the management and be active to receive the supervisions. Any enterprise intending to provide fake information will be revoked their qualification to this judging activity, and the related personnel will be responsible for the consequences.”
