In the post-crisis era, if a business leader fails to commit to enterprise transformation and upgrading, there is no clear direction. If a leader doesn’t emphasize industrial transformation, it seems they’re not truly concerned about the country and its people. Since 2008, the term “transformation and upgrading†has gradually replaced the once-celebrated “Made in China,†which was seen as the industry’s life-saving strategy. At first, both “Made in China†and “transformation and upgrading†were strategic moves that made sense. However, many companies have failed to grasp the real meaning of transformation, instead just following trends blindly—leading to stagnation and a lot of empty promises.
It's regrettable that despite years of calls for transformation, abrasive enterprises have made very little progress in the right direction. Instead, transformation is becoming another fleeting trend, much like the earlier “Made in China†craze. History repeats itself: companies often treat transformation like the old manufacturing model—focusing on building their own brands, expanding production, developing high-end product lines, and chasing market share. But when everyone rushes into the same space, profits shrink, overcapacity rises, and quality gets neglected. This kind of misguided transformation becomes a costly burden, similar to how “Made in China†once consumed resources and led to inefficiencies.
More importantly, businesses are missing out on a crucial economic opportunity. Let’s start with branding. Many companies think that having a brand means owning a trademark, intellectual property, or a self-built production line. But this is a misunderstanding. A brand isn’t just a product or logo—it can be any part of the industry process, such as R&D, service, testing, standards, or distribution. When these elements are refined, they can become powerful brands too. Unfortunately, in the abrasives industry, few have developed strong service-oriented brands, such as research, OEM, testing, or standardization services. These are just as valuable—if not more so—than physical product brands.
Next, consider positioning. Many companies see transformation as expansion: launching new products, increasing capacity, entering new markets, or chasing hot trends. In reality, finding the right position through smart reductions—cutting unnecessary businesses, markets, or even customers—can lead to better results. By focusing on a precise target, companies can strengthen their market presence. For example, a company that improves quality, lowers costs, and boosts efficiency can become a trusted foundry brand.
The integration of the industrial chain is also key. Brand operations and production services are fundamentally different. Branding is expensive and long-term, while production is cost-sensitive and short-term. The gap in mindset often makes it hard for leaders to adapt. The abrasives industry needs a clearer division of labor, allowing specialized companies to focus on what they do best. If brand-focused firms build their own production capacity, they risk increasing liabilities and falling into price wars. Meanwhile, those focused solely on production may lose their competitive edge and end up relying on low-value “cottage†brands.
Ultimately, the core of transformation lies in changing ideas. Leaders must realize that the seller’s market is gone, and competition is now more intense. Companies need advanced strategies and agility to survive. Even if a leader can't adapt, handing over the reins to a professional manager or successor can be a smart move. Transformation isn’t just about technology or scale—it’s about mindset, vision, and the courage to change. (Text by Fu Guangyu)
