Hardware Decode world craftsmen to go Yongkang Door Industry

Yongkang, and the hardware does have a natural connection, it is a "metal craftsmen with anything, the county government prefectures separated from health" Sentiment.

Today, Yongkang, gave himself branded a "Chinese doors" of the mark. In Yong Kang, annual output of more than 2,500 million door frames door product, exported more than 700 million door frames, the industry of 100 billion yuan in output value, accounting for 70% production of security doors.

Traction chain

"Upstream and downstream businesses here are very close cooperation between the flexibility, if any problem, make a phone call about an hour can be arrived at, and in the shortest possible time to solve the problem out." Fuxian Sheng Wang Group told the author that, once customers have new needs, as long as the simple communication, parts makers will immediately go back to the development of new mold, the next generation pre-orders will be completed all of the improvement process.

In Yong Kang, Doors businesses can find all the parts supplier, and basically can guarantee that the goods delivered about two hours. Traction caused chain whirlpool effect, foreign companies have got wind of it, and further strengthen the Yongkang Door Industry strength.

Wang Chen Group, Ganzhou, Jiangxi agent after completion of capital accumulation, Nanchang in Jiangxi Province, has started a door industry company, but no anti-theft door Nanchang related supporting industries, hinges, cat's eye, are still required to purchase Yongkang. "Every door above the cost of at least 100, excluding those parts in the time cost of road transport. And we will do the whole door was transported to Nanchang, freight only 20 yuan, Yongkang Door Industry's price advantage is obvious . "Fuxian Sheng said.

"If this place do Yongkang, a product will certainly be supporting the formation of the entire production network, so the cost advantage of other people here can not compete with." Trade bureau in the Yongkang Li Xingwang economy seems Yongkang hardware industry high concentration degree, contribute to social division of labor become more perfect, continue to extend the industrial chain, and ever-increasing relevance.

In Yongkang hardware industry, every industry has several leading enterprises, supporting a large number of manufacturers, there are a large number of cottage industries. "From the faucet to its body and then to end of the queue" to form a complete industrial chain.

In my interviews, almost all firms that Yongkang door for the rapid development, benefiting from strong Yongkang has a complete industrial chain.

Now, the Government and business thinking together, ready to further enhance the door Yongkang industry chain. Beginning in 2007, John Kandy to actively create a "headquarters economy", to consolidate the status of the core area of metal industry, construction, hardware city of China. Currently, Yongkang has invested heavily in building exhibition center, logistics center, hardware, innovative technology, customs clearance centers six public service platform, focusing on creating "Chinese hardware based center."

Technology Hardware City, Yongkang, concentrated east of the construction of 25 towers of 20 storeys, the future is not only Yongkang landmark buildings, the greater will be the industry of information flow, capital flow and logistics of gathering places.

The combined effect of market

"There is adequate information flow." Steps into the building, said Yang Group, developed the hardware industrial base, making China the industry of information technology hardware city gathering place. Here, a keen businessman, always smell the freshest flavor. Yong Kang is so aware of many companies to the door industry and the Beginning.

"We can shout to the door at home, 'Yong Kang', it was so convenient." XU Liang said, the door Fair will attract global businesses and door industry, buyers eye to the international market will stage a feast Door .

Are there ways to keep copper fixtures shiny without manually shining them often?

I read an article about copper fixtures (door handles, sink taps, even toilet seats) being used at a hospital. The copper fixtures were tested to have 90-95% less germs on them than other nearby fixtures made of other materials. Here's the link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1081359/Copper-door-handles-taps-kill-95-superbugs-hospitals.html
I'd love to use copper fixtures in my home, but I don't want them to lose their shine and patina (turn green). I also don't want to use any kind of clear finish on them. The copper has to be exposed to the germs to repel them. I also don't want to have to constantly shine them myself.
Do you know of any ways of keeping copper items shiny without applying a clear finish and without having to routinely shine them manually?

Thanks

You really answered your own question. Since copper oxidizes when in contact with the air, the only way to prevent it would be a coating of something to protect it from that air. This could be anything from paste wax to clear coat lacquer. The problem is that the only way for the copper to kill bacteria is for the bacteria to come in direct contact with it. This would not be possible if there is a barrier between the copper and the bacteria.

So it's polish regularly, or live with the germs!
