OEM and counterfeit products flood the market

"After five or six stores, they all sell gamma locks, but they are not the sales points of the company." On the morning of the 21st, a staff member of the "Dachen Anti-theft" Shandong agent told reporters that they had visited some locks in Weifang. Shops, OEMs, and counterfeit gamma lock products are flooding the market.

The staff said that products such as "Laixi Hummer Lock" are easy to confuse consumers' perceptions. They think this is a gamma lock, but in fact they are produced differently. Counterfeit products, if not experts, can't see anything famous. In fact, many parts of the imitation lock are made of brass, and the gamma lock is made of white copper. In addition, the security of the Zhenma lock is easy to uncover, and the anti-counterfeiting phone is clearly seen, and the packaging of the counterfeit goods is much rougher.

"This kind of OEM and counterfeit locks have a great impact on the market." The staff of "Dachen Anti-theft" introduced that due to too many "counterfeit goods", the county market "nearly sold no real goods!" ”

"The lock like the '262' model is the cheapest in the gamma lock. The national uniform price is 25.6 yuan, and the fake price can be sold for 17 yuan. Can this be sold?" The gamma lock salesman told reporters It is revealed that they do not rely on selling locks to earn money, but after completing one year of sales, they receive rebates, and these rebates average to a few dollars per lock. One of the cheapest "262" locks, the difference between genuine and fake is more than 8 yuan.

15 locks 8 are fakes

On the 21st, the reporter made an unannounced visit to the hero lock shop in Haode Trade Plaza.

Around 10 am, the reporter came to the Han lock shop and saw that about one-third of the shelves were gamma locks, dozens of types, and prices ranged from twenty-three yuan to one hundred yuan. The reporter picked up a few flip-flops. The locks on these locks were all gamma, but the marks printed on the locks were different. Some were “Shandong special offer”, some were written “Hebei exclusive supply”, and several It is "Olibao".

A female salesperson in the store warmly greeted us. When the reporter told her that she was doing hardware business in the rural areas of the surrounding counties and cities, she recommended a gamma lock with a price of about forty or fifty yuan. "It’s not a problem to sell seven or eighty dollars after this lock goes back."

After some bargaining, the reporter bought four kinds of gamma locks at a price of 500 yuan. When the reporter was about to leave, the store owner became suspicious. He asked if the reporter was a gamma lock manufacturer.

According to Dai Hubo, the manager of the “Dachen Anti-theft” in Shandong, there are 8 locks in these locks that look almost identical to the real ones.

Industrial and commercial seal 20 boxes of locks

After getting the evidence, around 11:20, the reporter and his party rushed to the Consumer Protection Department of the Weifang City Administration for Industry and Commerce. The chief of the department, Lijiang, decided to abandon the noon break and arrange the staff of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau of Licheng District to go to the scene for inspection.

At 12 o'clock, the reporter came to the store with the staff of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau of Qicheng District. The boss Wang said that his lock had no problem, and he kept calling and asked the manufacturer who provided the gamma lock to ask if the lock had a quality appraisal report. When the industrial and commercial law enforcement officers asked for a look at the warehouse, he also said that the key was not at hand.

After checking the locks in the store, the law enforcement officers took a few locks for identification and said that if the store did not cooperate, the public security department could be forced to unlock. After hearing this, Wang said that he had found the key. After dialing a few calls, he led the law enforcement officers to the warehouse. In the warehouse, Wang, who used to be the agent of Weimar Lock Weifang, constantly said that the locks in his warehouse were all inventories, including the “string goods” from Hebei agents. And Dai Hubo, the manager of the “Dachen Anti-theft” in Shandong, came up with a factory power of attorney, saying that there are fakes in “Hebei Special Supply”, “Anhui Special Supply” and “Jiangsu Special Supply”, and it is necessary to take samples back. Whether the manufacturer's identification is true.

After extracting some samples, the staff of the industrial and commercial department temporarily seized 20 boxes of locks and asked the staff of the “Dachen Anti-theft” to produce an appraisal report within 7 days.

Former agents selling fakes are more invisible

"The OEM products also have manufacturers. Where do the imitations come from? I suspect that some manufacturers have copied them." When tracing the inventory of the fake gamma lock, an agent of "Daochen Anti-theft" told reporters that the hero The lock shop was once the agent of Weifang anti-theft Weifang. At the end of October 2009, the agency was reclaimed for some reason. However, the store began to sell OEM and counterfeit products. The products sold have been distributed in various counties and cities in Weifang. "Dachen anti-theft" has been investigating this matter.

An industry insider said that the staff of a well-known lock factory in China had found the packaging of their own locks in another relatively large-scale lock factory. It is not unusual for manufacturers to copy locks.

Manufacturers must copy and must find someone to sell. The dealers of brand locks have a large number of "sales lines" and have the convenience of sales. Agents sell the true and false, not the manufacturers to check the work, it is generally difficult to be found. And the agent's offline purchase, generally do not care whether it is true or not, as long as you can make more money. Some even don't even know how to distinguish between true and false.

On the 21st, when he checked Wang’s warehouse, he had been asking “Don’s Anti-theft” to retrieve the locks that were accumulated in his warehouse. He said that these locks are old products and are not easy to sell. He has repeatedly asked manufacturers to take back, but he has not received a reply. He told the factory counterfeiters that he always had to find a way to sell these locks, and how to sell them.

On the 21st, the staff of “Zhum Locks” manufacturer, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, was reported to reporters that there were many “Gama locks” and counterfeit products in Weifang. During the "counterfeiting" process, the staff said that not only the gamma locks were branded or counterfeited, but other well-known locks also suffered the same problem.
