In China, there are more than 6,800 fastener manufacture enterprises with over 0.2 million employees, which makes the total output run to more than 2 million tons. In 2001, the total amount of import and export is¡ç1.178 billion, and the quantity of export is 6 times of import, but import is close to export on currency amount, which indicates high-grade fastener production is still weak in our country. Besides, we should concern more about the material, machine and die, lack of industry technicians and high-level technique workers on production front line.

The magazine "Asia Fastener & Hardware" published in August this year made an investigation. Seeing the reader service card, we knew some individuals did not show their attitudes but 99% readers approved establishment of technology school and considered it necessary. Mr. Pan in Qiqihar wrote "cold heading machine especially multi-station machine has many taches to adjust and its technology is more complex.

The public opinion survey and visit in the industry give us courage and strength of running the school, and also give us direction and goal.
