At the beginning of July this year, Xiaongji lighting factory closed down. There were no research and development personnel despite of . Tu Qiaoling also said Xiongji factory purchased inferior raw material to make disqualified products. Consequently, the capital chain cracked down and the factory closed down cause the clients refused to pay due to the low quality. A leader from an unknown company from Henglan told that single enterprise has to burden economic pressure to do research as the forming of inferior process in Zhongshan lighting industry. The products came out from independent research will soon be copied by other companies, so it is hard to reveal the value of independent research and development.
Government should support enterprises to set up R&D center
Tu Qiaoling mentioned that setting up R&D center is the inevitable way of healthy and long-lasting development for enterprises, even for the whole industry. But, lighting R&D center is a complete project, involving bulb, light tube, shape, heat dissipation, optics and so on. It requires superior integration with furniture, building materials and ornaments to do research and development in a whole. Except for the complicated process, single corporation also find it hard to support financially. She suggested that the government will intervene to support the establishing of industry R&D center in Zhongshan to do comprehensive research and innovation for Zhongshan lighting industry. But she also pointed out frankly that is very to be achieved. She tried to communicate with related departments on some occasions before, still no response yet.
