The core information of the certificate is clear: the enterprise name is Baoding Furuijie Metalworking Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the certificate number is GR202213000848, the issuance date is October 18, 2022, and the validity period is three years; the approval authorities are jointly composed of the Hebei Provincial Department of Science and Technology, the Hebei Provincial Department of Finance, and the State Taxation Administration Hebei Provincial Tax Service. This cross-departmental joint approval mechanism means that this qualification must meet multi-dimensional requirements such as scientific and technological R&D capabilities, financial standardization level, and tax compliance, serving as an authoritative endorsement of the enterprise’s comprehensive strength rather than a special certification in a single field.
The recognition of high-tech enterprise qualification must strictly comply with the core indicators of the Measures for the Administration of the Recognition of High-Tech Enterprises and the Guidelines for the Administration of the Recognition of High-Tech Enterprises: Enterprises need to have at least 1 invention patent or more than 6 utility model patents, software copyrights and other core independent intellectual property rights; the proportion of R&D expenses in operating income in the past three years must match the corresponding revenue scale (e.g., no less than 5% for enterprises with annual revenue below 50 million yuan); the annual average number of scientific and technological achievement transformations is no less than 5; the proportion of scientific and technological personnel engaged in R&D and technological innovation in the total number of employees is no less than 10%, etc. Baoding Furuijie Metalworking Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd.’s successful acquisition of this qualification confirms that it has built a mature independent R&D system, a stable R&D investment mechanism, and the ability to transform technical achievements into actual products in business areas such as sheet metal processing and non-standard chassis and cabinet design and production. This is highly compatible with the enterprise’s complex customized businesses such as IT room construction, power distribution equipment projects, and Xinjiang oilfield outdoor exploration projects, and also proves that its technical strength is sufficient to support high-difficulty and high-demand industry projects.
The value brought by this certificate to the enterprise is multi-dimensional: First, in terms of tax incentives, high-tech enterprises can enjoy a corporate income tax preferential rate of 15% (the tax rate for ordinary enterprises is 25%), which can effectively reduce operating costs and reserve capital space for subsequent technical R&D and production capacity upgrading; Second, in terms of market competition, in the sheet metal processing and machinery manufacturing fields, this qualification is a key indicator for customers to evaluate the technical strength of suppliers, especially in the bidding of government projects and large-scale industrial supporting projects (such as power and oilfield fields), it is often used as a core access condition to help enterprises expand high-value customers; Third, in terms of policy support, high-tech enterprises can give priority to applying for government R&D subsidies and technological innovation projects, and can also obtain local policy inclinations in talent introduction and factory land use; Fourth, in terms of brand influence, this qualification is the official endorsement of the enterprise’s technological innovation capabilities, which can enhance industry reputation and credibility, and strengthen the trust of partners and end customers.
It should be noted that the validity period of this qualification is three years. During this period, the enterprise must continuously maintain the compliance of core indicators such as R&D investment and achievement transformation, and accept supervision and verification by relevant departments. This mechanism also reversely promotes the enterprise to continuously optimize the R&D management system and achieve continuous improvement of technical strength.
