my country's filling machine industry has been developing for over two decades, growing from nothing to a significant size and achieving considerable success. However, the industry still faces challenges related to a weak awareness of intellectual property rights and poor R&D and innovation capabilities. This requires domestic companies to address and continuously improve the industry's current situation and make their own efforts to localize the filling machine industry.

my country's filling machinery manufacturing industry lacks intellectual property awareness. This manifests itself, firstly, in a lack of awareness of patent protection for independently developed new technologies and products; secondly, in the reckless imitation and plagiarism of others' products and technologies.

Often, after painstakingly developing a new product, a company rushes to market to recoup its losses, rather than applying for intellectual property protection. Imitations quickly appear shortly after the product's release, and numerous versions quickly emerge, making it difficult for users to distinguish the genuine product from the fake.

Developers suffer significant losses, and attempts to pursue counterfeit manufacturers are ultimately abandoned due to a lack of intellectual property protection. In this context, some companies that insist on independent development also engage in plagiarism, devolving the entire industry into a chaotic cycle of mutual copying.

my country's filling machinery manufacturing industry has developed primarily through technology import, mapping, and imitating foreign equipment. For decades, this cycle has been repetitive: backwardness – import – imitation – backwardness. Currently, few companies possess independent R&D capabilities, and even fewer possess core technologies with independent intellectual property rights and internationally advanced standards.

The fundamental reason for this phenomenon lies not in whether technology should be imported or imitated, but in how to properly approach technological R&D. Experts invited by the China Food Machinery and Equipment Network believe that my country's filling machinery manufacturing industry needs to establish a development philosophy that prioritizes science and technology as its core competitiveness. Instead of focusing on current profits, the focus should be on better satisfying customers. When satisfying customer needs is prioritized, the user base will naturally increase, and companies will naturally grow larger and stronger. my country's filling machinery manufacturing industry should closely grasp market demand, actively develop technologies and products that meet market demands, and build its own core competitiveness.

There are also a few companies in the industry that are experiencing strong growth. For example, Nanjing Light Industry, a major player in the beer filling machinery manufacturing industry, has, with government support, repeatedly introduced German beer filling technology over the past few decades. It has actively absorbed, developed, and innovated its own core technologies, reaching internationally advanced levels.

This demonstrates that domestic filling machine companies should persevere in pursuing technological advancements, continuously innovate, enhance their competitiveness, and continuously reform. They should face opportunities and challenges with a fresh attitude and pursue the path of domestically produced filling machines. Only in this way can we achieve progress and achieve better development.
