The Council collaborated with B&I again this year fororganizing the 4th International Mould & Die Making andManufacturing Technology Exhibition for Asia (MDA 2005).The exhibition was moved to Guangzhou in order to copewith the overall development of the mould making industryin the Asian markets, especially the surging need of mouldin South China. The exhibition gathered the most advancedmould and die companies to showcase their advancementin moulds and dies, related machinery, equipment andmaterials. It enabled industry operators to monitor thelatest global market trends and to further extend theirbusiness network.

In October, the Council organized a mission to Changchunand Dalian. Members visited the biggest automobile mouldmaking plant - The Die Manufacturing Co., Ltd. of FAW,Punch Industry Dalian Co.,Ltd. and Dalian Daxian TakagiMold Co., Ltd. These companies are representatives ofthe Northeast region of Mainland China. After exchangingview and discussion, members had broadened their visionand be more acquainted to the mould and die industry inMainland China.

It was my pleasure to be invited to the 2nd InternationalConference on Die & Mould Technology held by China Die& Mould Industry Association in October in Beijing. Otherguests being invited including local and overseas academia,mould and die engineers, entrepreneurs, and chairmenof other mould and die associations from differentcountries. The chairmen of the International, the UK, andthe Portugal Mould and Die Councils presented brilliantspeeches on the technology development of the industrywhile the Secretary-General of the Singapore Mould andDie Council shared his experience of training mould anddie talents in Singapore. The organizer also invited HuskyInjection Molding Systems from Canada to host a seminaron precision plastic mould technology and new hot-runnertechnology. Through the conference, a positive impacthad been given to raise the standard of local mould makingtechnology, and to foster the cooperation andcommunication between overseas countries and MainlandChina on mould making technology.

In May, the Vocational Training Council led the Hong Kongteam to join the 38th WorldSkills Competition in Helsinkiof Finland. The Council was one of the sponsors of the HongKong team and was delighted to learn that the Hong Kongrepresentative was able to achieve high score in aninternational competition participated by strongcompetitors. It demonstrated that the ability of local youngpeople with sufficient training were able to compete withoverseas tool makers.

In addition to continue its support to the Plastics Forumsheld by the Vocational Training Council, the Council alsoagreed to support the Metals Forums which wereintroduced to trade people of the metals and plasticsindustries since early 2005. The Metals Forums cover

topics on technology related applications and metalprocessing of the metals and tooling industries. The forumsare conducted every two months and well received bytrade people.

Running for the 12th year, the Hong Kong Mould & DieCouncil Awards (HKMDC Awards) offered recognition toindividuals who made significant contributions to theindustry. The Award Ceremony was held concurrently withthe Council’s Annual Dinner on 29 November 2004. TheGuest-of-Honour was Mr. Francis Ho, PermanentSecretary for Communications and Technology ofCommerce, Industry and Technlogy Bureau. The dinnerwas attended by more than 200 guests and all peopleenjoyed a wonderful evening.

In this year, the Awards have redirected the focus onappreciating individual companies and divisions that havedemonstrated outstanding operation performanceimprovement in mould and die making activities on acontinual basis. Nypro Tool Hong Kong Limited was grantedthe most honorable - Operation Excellence Grand Award. KaShui Manufactory Co. Ltd., Providence Enterprise Limited,and Feng Chuan Tooling Co. Ltd. were granted the award ofDesign and Manufacturing Technology, Management andSystem, and Marketing and Customer Services respectively.The Distinguished Achievement was awarded to Mr. EdwardLai of CIM Precision Molds (HK) Ltd.

The Council commissioned the Hong Kong ProductivityCouncil to conduct the “Employer Survey on Needs &Requirement of Local Mould & Die Engineers” fromNovember 2004 to January 2005 in order to analyze andplan the human resources development of the mould anddie industry in Hong Kong. The result of the survey wasreleased in the press conference held in April. It showedthat there will be a growing demand for more young moldingtechnicians from Hong Kong in the coming years.

In order to strengthen the network between members,the Council organized the 1st Hong Kong Mould & DieCouncil Basketball Championship. The championship wasparticipated by 8 companies and completed with joy.

I would like to thank members of the Executive Committeefor contributing their time and effort to the Council inorder to make the above activities completed with success.

A compact progressive die designcombining drawing, extrusion andforming techniques to meetaccurate form requirementswithout any secondary machiningoperations.

Mr. Vincent Tam founded Unitec Tooling (HK) Limited in themid 80’s. At the initial stage, the company only had severalemployees and mainly produced plastic injection mould fortoys products. Along with the vigorous expansion of HongKong toys industry, a lot of toys factories shifted theirproduction lines to Mainland China. In 1990, Mr. Tam set uphis first mould factory in Shenzhen in order to cope with hiscustomers’ needs and provide better cooperation. Hiscompany recruited over 1,000 employees within a few years.It became one of the largest mould making factories in thetoys field and successfully established its own brand in thetoys industry.

Under the circumstances of shortened product developmentlead-time and tightened quality requirements, mould makingfor toys requires adopting more advanced machinery andsoftware such as CAD/CAM/CAE to meet the tight deliveryschedule. Mr. Tam also realized that the strong competitionin the tooling cost of toys industry has hindered its expansion,therefore, he diversified the production of his company todifferent areas such as household products and electricappliances in the past two years in order to maintain thecompany’s competitiveness in the mould making industry.

Since mould is the essential part for different types of productsand the proportion of plastic materials in different productshas been increased substantially, Mr. Tam is optimistic aboutthe plastic injection mould industry. He believes investing inadvanced machinery and computer software, as well asproviding adequate training to technicians, are criticalelements for the company’s development and maintaining itscompetitiveness in the industry.

As a continuation of the Council’s “New Blood” programme, the

Council in 1998 decided to launch for the first time a student

group competition for the Hong Kong Mould & Die Council Award,

under which students are encouraged to submit their mould

drawings and designs or research projects on themes related to

the mould and die industries for the competition.

The project received tremendous support from the relevant

departments of academic institutions and people in the industry.

This year, the Council received 33 submissions for the

competition. The judging panel, which comprised of experienced

mould makers and representatives from academic institutions,

selected 1 winner each for mould drawing group, mould making

group and research project group. Members of the judging panel

commented that the Award would not only serve to arouse the

youngsters’ interest in the industry but it would also provide a

practicable channel between the industry and the academic to

explore the possibility of co-operation and to plan courses needed

for the industry. The list of winners is as follows:

Hong Kong participated in the 38th

WorldSkills Competition held from

May 26 to May 29, 2005 in Helsinki

of Finland. In the 37th WorldSkills

Competition held at St. Gallen of

Switzerland in 2003, Hong Kong won

a bronze meda l . Wi th more

c o m p e t i t i o n e x p e r i e n c e s

accumulated over the years, the

Plastics and Tooling Technology

Development Centre under the

direction of the Plastics Training Board of VTC, had formed a

committed taskforce to prepare for the competition. Mr. Yang

Wai-yiu, Champion of the Hong Kong Youth Skill Competition

2004 – CNC Milling, was selected as the Hong Kong

representative. A total of 20 employers and employers’

associations, including the Hong Kong Mould and Die Council,

offered financial support for the Hong Kong team. Seven

organizations, including the Industrial Centre of the Polytechnic

University of Hong Kong, provided training and industrial

attachment opportunities for the Hong Kong representative.

Since the Hong Kong competitor did not have work experience

in the industry, he was given an intensive 12-month training

at various locations in Hong Kong, Dongguan, Suzhou, and

Switzerland, under personal coaching by Mr. K.M. Chan,

senior trainer of the Plastics and Tooling Technology

Development Centre, It was a little bit unfortunate that Mr.

Yang could not maintain his performance standard during

the competition and had two-mark short for the award of a

Certificate of Merit. However, the results was still encouraging

because he was able to achieve high marks in an international

competition participated by all the technologically advanced

countries. It demonstrated the high CNC machining standard

of Hong Kong and the ability of local industry in training young

people like Mr. Yang to reach international skill standards.

Participation in WorldSkills Competition enables the local

industry to raise the skill standards of its young employees.

The Hong Kong team will make preparation for the next

competition to be held in Japan in 2007. Employers are

encouraged to throw their support to this event for the long-

term manpower development of the industry.
