Who is in demand in the labor market today? Sellers and managers. But what about the manufacturers? They require much less, and in the conditions of the Russian market today, production, especially the construction industry, is profitable to raise.

Why do you need a chain-link mesh

Every second city dweller dreams of his own house or, at worst, a suburban area for a vegetable garden. And this means that many of our fellow citizens are starting construction. There are a lot of materials at the construction site that are constantly needed: nails, screws, boards, cement, sand, gravel, paint - and you never know other things you will need on the farm and at the end of the main construction.

For example, you need to build a fence quickly and inexpensively, you won’t find a better chain-link mesh for this. What to do: go to the market and buy from the same sellers or take a machine and make the net yourself in order to provide your village and enter the market. Here's an idea for production. If you do not want to go into the numerous ranks of merchants of other people's goods, you should try to make your own.

How profitable this business is, it will become clear if you carefully study the demand in the district. There is no great competition on the market, the mesh is not sold of the best quality, not in assortment or it is not at all, it is worth hurrying with the opening of your workshop for the production of chain-link mesh. A large workshop is not required: 15 meters for one machine and so much for a warehouse of finished products.

By the way, about machines. It is better, of course, to choose automatic ones: they produce high-quality products and require minimal human effort, but they cost at least two hundred thousand rubles. Semi-automatic machines are almost an order of magnitude cheaper, and the grid is not the most even, and the worker has to do a lot of operations manually. The payback of an automatic machine with good implementation can be about a year and the income is small, about thirty thousand a month. But this is from one machine, provided that you have to support workers, and not work yourself.

We know that the mesh can be made of different materials (metal, plastic) with cells of different diameters. For each type of mesh, you can purchase your own machine. If sales go well, then the profit from each new machine will add up and can become significant. Then the question arises of finding an excellent manager and salespeople who will help you reach decent incomes, and eventually establish wholesale trade.

Video, automatic production of chain-link mesh

On the eve of the hot months, both literally and figuratively, enterprising people are interested in the so-called seasonal business. This is especially true for those who do not have a permanent job. “I have a typical story of a person of the post-Soviet era,” says a certain Sergey Ivanovich Konevodov at the Business as Survival forum. - I was an adjuster of powerful presses at a machine-building plant. The enterprise was closed. The chains were destroyed. And in their place a shopping center was erected. My profession is not in demand at all. Our town is not that degrading, but clearly not successful. Therefore, I use the summer to the maximum to earn good money. At the same time, I don't want to go to work. I am looking for a seasonal idea for a business with a minimum start, but with a guaranteed income.

We asked our expert Igor Malyugin, an analyst for the startup community, to answer this question. “If we talk about summer business with the least risks, then it is best to focus on construction and agricultural work,” says Malyugin. - To the universal products that you can start with a minimum start, I would include mesh netting". The expert justifies his position with a number of positive factors, which we decided to talk about.

Universal fence material

Looking through the forums and blogs has shown that there is a certain amount of frustration in the market for this product. “The competition is strong, so it is difficult to count on a large income,” the forum member Guest_from_the past is sure. “In general, people look down on the chain-link, they say, it’s not fashionable.” And there are a lot of posts like this.

Meanwhile, in the US, the production of this material is growing. Thus, the publication "Home construction" states that the chain-link mesh is still interesting to the consumer. "It's a great combination of price and features," writes journalist Mike Hopps of Home construction. - Protect the plantation from forest rodents and hares ... create an open-air warehouse ... start construction ... all this is accompanied by the construction of a mesh fence. Americans are too practical to spend money where they can save money.”

Indeed, a chain-link fence is three times cheaper than a corrugated fence, five times cheaper than a wooden board fence, nine times cheaper than a metal picket fence, and so on. “If we add to this argument the cost of time, then there is no competition in the chain-link,” says Mark Katz, an analyst at the ORFEI.ltd agency. - As for the skepticism associated with its production, it just has a seasonal limitation. This is a business for those who want to make money on the "summer".

At the same time, the expert warns that the factor of competition must be taken into account. For example, for a territory where up to 10 thousand people with average incomes live, one entrepreneur is quite enough. On the other hand, the saturation of the market can be judged by the cost. In particular, a ten-meter roll (height 1500 mm) with a cell of 50x50 mm, made of galvanized wire 1.8 mm, should not cost more than 1000-1200 rubles for retail sale. “A higher price may signal a lack of normal competition,” Malyugin said. “Because the cost of this product for Russian conditions is unlikely to exceed 500-600 rubles per specified roll.”

Since the chain-link mesh is in demand, the machines for its production, given the relative simplicity of the mechanisms, are also represented by a wide variety. “There are good Ukrainian and Russian machines, there are also Chinese ones that are attractive in price, there is also advanced equipment from Italy, Germany and even New Zealand,” says sales manager Alexander Degtyarev from Moscow. - Remember that any seller will promise that the machine will work "normally". However, it would be reasonable to ask if there is a bending unit and how the winding on the pipe takes place. Second, you need to find out how much worm And "knives" and how easy it is to acquire them, since they are consumables. Third, when it comes to automatic machines, to what extent are the reliability problems of the spiral solved, that is, how often does it fly out? And what to do if the wire gets stuck in the cut?

A responsible approach to choosing a machine, including taking into account the opinion of those who have already worked on it, can prevent start-up errors. This is especially important when it comes to machines, as they are not cheap for a seasonal business. For example, an ASU-174M automatic machine will cost an entrepreneur 230,000 rubles, you will still have to spend money on the delivery of equipment, depending on the region, plus 50-55 thousand rubles will be spent on the purchase of the first batch of wire (1.5 tons). At the same time, the cost of a roll, which includes the salary of the operator and the rental of premises, will not exceed 500 rubles.

However, many entrepreneurs believe that they should start with a semi-automatic.

“Why immediately grab the machine gun? - forum member am0n writes. - A big investment of money, plus one more big minus: on the machine, of course, you can safely “smoke bamboo” and only shoot rolls on one condition: if you have good wire. Now the wire is made in such a way that from one skein 10 times you have to set up the machine, and the machine does not set up so quickly. To start production, and in general to probe the soil in this area, it seems to me that it is better to take a semi-automatic device. It is less capricious about the quality of the wire, and everything is set up much faster: in a minute you are working again. Yes, there is a minus that you have to stand at the table yourself, bite off and, if necessary, bend the ends.

In fact, many of the Rabitz mesh machines are low cost with relatively reliable performance. So, Chelyabinsk can be purchased for 45 thousand rubles, while it will be equipped with a weaving mechanism, a trigger pedal, a control unit connector, a wire unwinding device and replaceable pulleys and a screw sleeve with a knife. The manufacturer guarantees ease of learning, and reaching maximum performance within two weeks after the start of work.

Confessions of an Entrepreneur

In RuNet we found a story about mesh production Rabitsa"from scratch". It was told by a certain MeXaHiK on the forum, which was called “Own Business”.

Sincerely, Victor!!!"

Igor Malyugin believes that this story accurately characterizes the chain link mesh business. “This business can be successful if the entrepreneur has the skills to repair and adjust equipment, as well as natural diligence and a bright head,” the expert is convinced.

The production of chain-link mesh is a profitable business, despite the fact that it is dependent on the season. It does not require large capital investments, large production areas, because the equipment for manufacturing products is compact.

For its production, wire is used - galvanized steel and coated with a polymer material, which is twisted in a certain way on special equipment. Chain-link mesh is a widely used material, used for fencing the territory, such as garden plots, flower beds, livestock enclosures, for thermal insulation work. But it is highly susceptible to corrosion and if you do not protect it from precipitation, it will rust over time. To protect the material from corrosion, metal painting, galvanizing or polymer coating is used. Among manufacturers of chain-link mesh, galvanization is the most popular option for protecting it from rust.

The chain-link mesh is produced in two types - with rhombus cells and square cells. The last version of mesh weaving in the industry is the most common. The standard mesh size is 150 cm in height and 100 cm in length; for convenience, it is rolled up at the enterprise. Manufacturers also fulfill orders according to individual customer sizes.

The production of chain-link mesh implies an obligatory planning stage - a business plan. It should contain items like this.:

Description of the project;

Analysis of the market for the services provided;

Analysis of competitors;

Sales markets;

Possible risks;

Calculation of starting capital for starting a business;

Necessary equipment and personnel;

Calculation of the financial result;

When planning this business, you need to take care of the market for the final product, to study if there is a demand for it. This point of business is one of the most important, since it will depend on it and the future income of the enterprise.

The main part of the entire chain-link mesh produced (up to 90%) is spent on the construction of fences for objects, a small part (10%) is used for the needs of construction, agriculture, energy, engineering, and so on. The chain-link should be produced in accordance with GOST, but it is not subject to mandatory certification, but in practice it is better to go through this procedure, so it will be easier for the manufacturer to find a market for the finished product.

The sale of finished products occurs in several ways - independent sales, deliveries to retail stores, sales to wholesalers and deliveries to enterprises. In the first option, the manufacturer independently sells his product - chain-link mesh to individuals, for example, by opening a retail outlet in the construction market, or by organizing an online store on the network. A positive point in retail is the ability to sell goods with the highest margin, but the disadvantages are that you need to spend money on opening a retail outlet or store, on an advertising campaign, and transport services.

The second option is deliveries to retail stores. This is a convenient way to sell your own product. In this case, the sale depends on the sellers of the store on their sales skills. The markup on goods in stores is, as a rule, up to 30% of their total cost.

The third option for the sale of the finished product is the sale to wholesalers. Usually the goods are delivered in large quantities to wholesale bases, however, such deliveries depend on the season and are highly competitive.

The last option for the sale of finished products is direct deliveries to enterprises. This is the most difficult way to sell goods, because it has high competition, as well as strict conditions for fulfilling orders. To supply enterprises with their own goods, you need to win a tender, and it is very difficult for a beginner to do this. For a successful business, you need to have all the available distribution channels, but at the beginning of work you need to concentrate on at least one or two, expanding your capabilities over time.

At the stage of business planning, it is necessary to determine the type of chain-link mesh to be produced in the future, and for this you need to study what kind of increased demand it has in a particular city and region as a whole.

Netting mesh is classified according to the following criteria:

According to the material from which it is made;

By the size of the cells on the grid;

According to the thickness of the wire;

According to the size of finished rolls;

It will not be superfluous to study the range of competitors and their pricing policy.

The next step in building a business is registering it. For a small production workshop, individual entrepreneurship with a simplified taxation system is suitable. But for a large-scale enterprise, the best organizational and legal form is a limited liability company.

Chain-link mesh can be made on various machines: manual, automatic and semi-automatic. The choice of machine depends on the volume of production. Manual control machines are unproductive, they are practically not used to make chain-link stacks for sale, only for personal household needs. That is why semi-automatic and automatic machines are chosen for business.

For a small room, a semi-automatic netting netting machine is ideal. It is easy to operate, compact, operated by one worker, who must perform the required manual labor and monitor the operation of the machine. The approximate cost of a semi-automatic machine is about 50-60 thousand rubles. This compact machine will take up no more than 2 m2 of space, so it does not require large floor spaces. This machine weaves a wire mesh (steel, galvanized, stainless steel, aluminum) with a diameter of 0.12 - 0.30 cm. .75 cm

The control of the semi-automatic machine is simple - the speed of the secateurs and its angle of inclination, as well as the dimensions of the finished web, are regulated by the control unit. The semiautomatic device does not cut off the excess edge of the wire and bend it - this work is done by the machine operator. The productivity of this equipment depends on the dexterity and experience of the operator, approximately 1 roll per hour (standard roll size 50×50mm).

Automatic machines work without the participation of workers, but their cost starts from 200 thousand rubles. They are suitable for large powerful production workshops. The machine is capable of producing 5 standard chain-link mesh rolls per hour, fine-mesh mesh is smaller - 2 rolls per hour. The operator practically does not participate in the production process, his job is to load the wire and set up the control panel, on which the necessary parameters of the finished chain-link mesh are set, then the entire manufacturing process occurs automatically. The machine independently bends the ends of the wire, and winds the mesh into a roll.

In the business plan, it is necessary to provide for a clause on the premises for the production of products. The premises for the placement of production workshops can be bought or rented. Since the machines for capturing chain-link mesh are compact, the workshop for its production can be equipped even in a garage or in a warehouse with an area of ​​about 20 m2. This area is enough to make the mesh and store it. You will also need all kinds of shelves and racks for placing finished products and raw materials and a table for receiving orders and storing office supplies.

Raw materials for the production of chain-link mesh

To make a chain-link mesh, you need raw materials - wire. It happens, as mentioned above, diverse - low-carbon steel, zinc and polymer coating, stainless steel wire is rarely used. The most common raw materials for chain-link mesh are galvanized and steel. An important criterion for the finished product, if made from zinc-coated wire, is the amount of zinc deposited on it. In the CIS countries, wire is more often produced by hot-dip galvanizing.

This is the most reliable coating option and a way to protect the wire from corrosion (zinc content from 70 to 90 g/m2). A fence made of this material will last, and will not rust, for a long time (about 20 years). The modern method of galvanizing is electrolytic (the amount of zinc is 10 g / m2), not the most reliable, the finished product from this wire will rust within two years of operation.

However, even when using the first method of galvanizing wire, if the mesh is operated on the coasts of salty seas, it will deteriorate much earlier. Therefore, in such regions, a mesh for barriers is produced from polymer-coated wire.

Staff

An equally important point in running a chain-link mesh business is hiring staff to make it. If the production workshop is small with one machine, therefore, only one operator is required to operate it.

The technological process is simple - the worker inserts the coil with wire into the machine, selects the necessary parameters for the grid on the control panel (cell size, length and width of the web), presses start. The machine pulls the wire to the right place, where it winds around the auger in spirals, which are then cut off, and one end of the wire is bent into a hook. Then such blanks are put on a shaft attached to a cutting device, it constantly rotates. The spring is stretched and another spring is wound around it, and so on, until the desired mesh length is obtained. The finished mesh is wound into a roll, and the end of the wire is cut off. After that, the rolls are treated with technical oil, packed in paper and stored on racks.

The work behind the machine is not difficult, it is necessary to load the blanks into the machine, set the necessary parameters for the future finished product, twist the mesh into a roll and store it in the place allocated for this. The salary of such an employee can be minimal, about 15 thousand rubles, depending on the region and sales volumes. Naturally, a new business with not yet large sales volumes cannot afford to set high wages for employees, but an increase in wages can be envisaged in the future as the optimal market for finished products is found. In crisis situations, even for such a small salary, there is a responsible person.

When expanding production, with the purchase of additional machines, it is not necessary to hire more staff, because one worker will be able to service several machines, since the technological process is gradual.

Advertising

Advertising is the engine of trade and everyone knows it. But for the manufacture and sale of chain-link mesh, a large amount of money for an advertising campaign is not needed. Handing out leaflets on the street is not relevant for such a production, because it is not profitable to sell rolls by the piece. We need access to large construction hypermarkets, where we should offer to supply our products, as well as to construction companies that use chain-link mesh in construction. If you're lucky and you manage to find such customers, you won't need advertising at all.

Calculation of production profitability

Calculating the cost of finished products is simple, for this you need to multiply the weight of the roll by the cost of the wire spent on its manufacture. For example, galvanized wire 1.8 mm in diameter costs 70,000 rubles per 1 ton, a standard roll (height 150 mm, length 10 m) weighs up to 10 kg. So, 10 kg of wire costs 700 rubles, therefore, the cost of a roll of chain-link mesh is 700 rubles. Naturally, the cost of electricity and wages for the machine operator, rent of premises, taxes, and so on should be added to the cost received.

Energy costs can be calculated as follows. The average cost of 1 kW / h is 4 rubles. The machine consumes 1.5 kWh. The production of one mesh roll takes less than an hour, then the approximate amount of electricity consumed by the installation for the production of one unit of production will be 1 kW / h, therefore the cost will be 4 rubles.

Labor costs for a machine worker are different in different regions. For the average, let it be 15 thousand rubles for 21-22 business days. Usually, the employee's remuneration is calculated depending on the number of mesh rolls produced. Let's say the operator produced 10 rolls of chain-link mesh per shift, the total salary for an employee for one roll of chain-link mesh will be: 15 thousand rubles / 22 days / 10 rolls = about 68 rubles.

The cost of renting the premises is calculated as a share of the 1 manufactured item. 10 units of products are manufactured per shift, 20 units per day, and a worker will produce 440 units per month (22 working days). The rent for the premises depends on the region, for example, 20 m2 per month will cost an average of 3,000 rubles. Total 3000 rubles / 440 rolls = 6 rudders will be the cost of rent for one unit of production.

Additional costs, usually transportation, will be about 10 rubles per unit of production.

The final cost of production of one unit of products from zinc-coated wire with a cross section of 1.8 mm will be: 700 rubles (cost of wire) + 4 rubles (electricity) + 68 rubles (salary to the machine operator) + 6 rubles (room rental) + 10 rubles ( transportation costs) = 788 rubles.

Further, knowing the cost of 1 unit of production, you can calculate the profitability of the whole production. The estimated cost of 1 roll of mesh in retail is 1600 rubles, the wholesale price is 1000 rubles. It is also worth studying the prices of competitors.

So, the profit from the sale of 1 roll of mesh will be:

1000 rubles - 788 rubles = 212 rubles.

The final cost of the chain-link mesh depends on the region in which it is produced and sold, on the price of the wire from which it is made, so these calculations are approximate, and individual calculations should be made for each business.

Profit for the month of work will be as follows:

212 rubles × 440 rolls (manufactured per month) = 93,280 rubles.

The production of chain-link mesh as a business can pay off within a month of successful operation of the workshop, according to the above approximate calculations. If you sell the mesh chain-link at retail, the profit will be significantly higher. The amount of start-up capital is small and depends on the selected production volumes.

Chain-link mesh as a structural material was invented and patented in 1878 by Karl Rabitza. They make a chain-link mesh from a metal low-carbon steel wire, more often with a polymer coating or galvanized. It is rare to find a chain-link mesh made of stainless wire.

Let's try in this business plan to figure out whether it is profitable to produce a chain-link mesh (hereinafter referred to as a chain-link) and how much you can earn on it.

Wire for the production of netting and its corrosion

There are two types of chain-link mesh in the form of cells: rhombic (acute angle of 60 degrees) and square. The chain-link, as a rule, is supplied in rolls, the height of the roll is 1.5 meters, the length is 10 meters. But you can order other sizes, for example, a height of 1 to 4 meters, and a mesh length of up to 18 meters. The ends of the mesh rolls are packed in thick paper, burlap or polyethylene.

90% of the mesh produced is used for fencing the territory, so protection from moisture is so important in the production of this material. They protect the chain-link in several ways: painting, galvanizing or polymer coating.

Galvanizing is the most common method. On galvanized wire (hot-dip galvanizing method), the zinc content is between 70 and 90 grams per m2. A mesh made from such material will not rust for 20-25 years. There is another method of galvanizing wire - the electrolytic method. With it, the zinc coating is from 10 g / m2. and as a result, a mesh of such wire will rust in two years.

In addition to rain, salt water can cause rust on the grid. Therefore, for such conditions, it is better to use a steel wire mesh with a polymer coating. If there are scratches or cuts on the coating, then such a mesh is not of high quality and soon the mesh will rust in these places, the coating will burst.

The painting of the chain-link is mainly done already at the installation site. If you paint it in production, then the paint will rub off in the roll and the protection will not be of high quality.

The strength of the netting depends on the size of the cell and the diameter of the wire. The smaller the cell and the larger the wire diameter, the stronger the mesh. Since the cost of the chain-link mesh is the price of the wire from which it is made, some entrepreneurs overestimate the size of the mesh and reduce its diameter.

In civilian conditions, the wire diameter rarely exceeds 2 mm. The most commonly used wire is 1-1.5 mm. It is quite simple to calculate the wire consumption for the manufacture of 1 m2 of mesh. The formula for calculating 1m2 of chain-link:

13.40*D2/A, where

13.40 - coefficient corresponding to the consumption weight;

D2 is the diameter of the wire squared;

A is the size of the grid cell. If the size is 50 * 50, then we count 50, if 35 * 35, then 35.

For the calculation, we will use a galvanized low-carbon wire with a tensile strength of 560-900N / mm2, a diameter of 1.6 mm. Wire consumption per 1 m2 of chain-link according to the formula will be 13.4 * 1.6 * 1.6 / 50 = 0.69 kg. Now, in order to find out how much wire we need for a shift, for a month of work, we need to choose the right equipment for us and find out the production volume of the machine.

Wire mesh production equipment and production room

The bulk of the costs, as with many other types of business, goes to the purchase of equipment. If you go on the Internet and look for equipment for this production, you will see a lot of machines for making chain-link mesh from different “Kulibins”. We will not dwell on such manual machines for making chain-link mesh, but we will only consider what factories for the production of certified equipment offer.

Equipment for the production of netting can be semi-automatic and automatic.

Semi-automatic equipment for the production of chain-link mesh

When using this equipment, the use of manual labor is mandatory, even for such an operation as mesh folding. As a result, cell asymmetry and other imperfections can be seen in the finished product. The advantage of this equipment is the ease of assembly and adjustment, it takes up little space and is inexpensive. The cost varies from 20,000 to 35,000 rubles.

Automatic equipment

Automatic equipment is more expensive, the cost starts from 200,000 rubles (used 150,000 rubles). For this equipment, the use of operator presence is minimal, high productivity, weaving accuracy.

For our business plan, we will consider the purchase of semi-automatic equipment, since a garage will be used for work. We will produce a standard roll 1.5 * 10, with a cell size of 50 * 50. 18 rolls can be produced per day on equipment with this cell size. The area for equipment is 1-1.5 m2, power is 2.2 kW / h. The cost of equipment, a table for a machine tool and other necessary tools is 30,000 rubles.

Choice of legal form

For this type of business, it is better to open an individual entrepreneur, it is easier and cheaper. It is more expensive to open an LLC, but you do not need to pay contributions to a pension fund with an individual entrepreneur. And since in the first months of the existence of a business, and maybe even a year, there may not be much profit, it is more profitable from a material point of view to open an LLC.

Taxation - STS (simplified reporting system), income minus expenses.

The production of chain-link mesh is regulated by GOST 5336-80. For the best sale of products, it is recommended to pass voluntary certification.

Calculation of income and expenses

Let's calculate the work of our production for a month.

Revenue. On the equipment we have chosen, 18 rolls of chain-link mesh can be produced per day. Thus, for a month 18*20=360 rolls. The cost of selling a roll is 500 rubles or 360*500=180,000 rubles.

Expenses. To run a business, you need one employee, a salary of 15,000 rubles, payroll taxes of 4,500 rubles. We will conduct business in our own garage, so there is no need to spend money on rent, electricity per month is 1,980 rubles, wire consumption is 18 * 20 * 1.5 * 10 * 0.69 = 3,726 kilograms. The cost of the wire is 35,000 rubles/ton, or 3,726*35=130,410 rubles. Others, including transportation and packaging costs, can amount to 10,000 rubles.

We collect all expenses: 15,000 + 4,500 + 1,980 + 130,410 + 10,000 = 161,890 rubles. It turns out that if you sell all the wire produced in a month, then the net profit will be 180,000-161,890 = 18,110 rubles.

The main channels for the implementation of the chain-link mesh

You can sell your product through retail stores, wholesale depots, agricultural markets, as well as direct sales to individuals. Implementation through tenders is also possible, but for beginners it is quite difficult.

Conclusion

The main conclusion on the manufacture of chain-link mesh as a business can be made that it will not be difficult to produce the products themselves, the main thing is to sell them.

* Calculations use average data for Russia

Whatever the situation in the real estate market, it is safe to say that the demand for building materials will remain at the same high level over the next few years as it is now. These include, for example, the so-called chain-link mesh. It is used to create various fences, to screen loose materials (for example, sand) that are used in construction, for thermal insulation works, and for fixing mine workings. In addition, this type of mesh is widely used for the construction of animal enclosures. Due to its structure, the chain-link mesh does not create shading of the fenced area, unlike solid fences made of wood or concrete.

What is a slave? The chain-link mesh is made from low-carbon steel wire, galvanized wire or polymer-coated wire. In some cases (mainly on order), such a mesh can be made of stainless steel. These materials are easy to obtain. A mesh is made on a special machine, which twists wire spirals with a flat coil between each other. In large-scale production, high-performance semi-automatic mesh weaving machines are used. The chain-link mesh is of two types, depending on the shape of the cells: woven rhombic and woven square.

The finished mesh Chain-link is wound into rolls 1.5 meters high and 10 meters long. However, if the customer wishes, the grid height can be from 1 to 4 meters. True, the maximum length of the mesh in a roll is, as a rule, no more than 18 meters, which is due to technological reasons. If manual or simple machines are used to make the chain-link mesh, the ends of the rolls are not bent. In the same case, when special automatic mesh weaving machines are used for production, the ends of the mesh in the roll are bent, which is why they are connected to each other. The sharp edges of the rolls are often wrapped in thick paper or polyethylene for ease of transport.

So, organizing your own small workshop or large-scale production of chain-link mesh can become a profitable business. This option is also suitable for beginner entrepreneurs who do not yet have much experience in this field. For the production of such a mesh, there is no need to rent large areas for a workshop (unless you need a place to store finished products). In addition, another undoubted advantage of such a business is that you can start it even without a large start-up capital. Of course, with a small investment, the profitability of production will be significantly lower, as will your profit. However, you will have the opportunity to study all the nuances of work, create a customer base and invest profits in the development of your business. The simplest semi-automatic machine with electric foot control for the production of chain-link mesh will cost 30 thousand rubles. It consists of an unwinding device, a take-up and tension mechanism, a curling mechanism, and a special working table. Such a machine makes it possible to produce a chain-link mesh with square cells from 25 to 75 mm and with rhombus cells. The average productivity of the machine when winding a mesh with cells of 55 mm and a mesh height of 1.5 meters is 250 meters of mesh per shift (which is equal to 25 rolls of 10 meters of mesh each). The diameter of the wire with which such a machine can work is 1.2-3 mm. The principle of operation of such equipment is extremely simple: first, the wire is wound onto a drum, then it is passed through a bending machine, which bends it in the right places. At this stage, you can set the width of the cell, making it larger or smaller. Then the bent wire is cut into segments of a given length, the resulting blanks are intertwined with each other in a separate order, as a result of which a characteristic weaving of the Rabitz mesh is created. One worker can handle the work on a semi-automatic machine. The total working area of ​​one machine is 2 square meters. meters. It does not require special knowledge for setting up, debugging and operation, although, of course, it is inferior in performance and convenience to automatic equipment (in the latter case, a person performs only the functions of a controller and does not take part in weaving the mesh).

Most often, wire with a diameter of 1.6-2.2 mm is used for the production of netting with a chain-link weave. One coil of wire costs an average of 20 thousand rubles. Unpainted wire will cost less, painted - a little more expensive. However, buyers are quite conservative in their preferences and usually choose a grid of unpainted wire. Colored chain-link can be made to order. There are no special requirements for a room for working with semi-automatic equipment. It can even be an ordinary garage or other non-residential premises. The main thing is that you can connect the equipment to a power source. Small quantities of chain link mesh can be supplied to hardware stores or directly to end customers by placing ads in print publications (such as free classified newspapers) and on Internet bulletin boards. Ordinary ads printed on a printer and pasted in the private sectors of your city and beyond - in gardening associations also work well. But it is worth considering the fact that most buyers will want you to ensure that they deliver the mesh to their destination. Therefore, it is desirable to have at your disposal a car of sufficient capacity (for example, a Gazelle).

The optimal organizational form for opening a mesh production workshop is an individual entrepreneur. If you choose a simplified taxation scheme, then your tax deductions will include: income tax, unified social tax and income tax.

With investments up to 100 thousand rubles. and production volumes of 200-250 meters of mesh per shift, you will be able to recoup all your costs during the first year of your workshop. If you decide from the very beginning to organize a large production of Rabitz mesh, you will need much more funds to start your business. First of all, you will need more powerful automatic equipment that allows you to produce mesh in large quantities. The productivity of the Chinese chain-link mesh machine is about 100 square meters. meters per hour with a maximum web width of 4 meters. The width of such a line reaches 10 meters, and the length is about 6-7 meters. The cost of an automatic line is from 800 thousand rubles. and higher. Experts advise considering machines in the price range from 1 to 1.5 million rubles. Add to this the cost of equipment delivery: 100-150 thousand rubles.

Accordingly, you will need a large area for the placement of such a machine. When calculating, take into account the fact that about three people per shift will be required to service a large line (based on the head shift and two workers).

The shift supervisor monitors compliance with the production technology, exercises control over the workers of the shop and takes care of the warehouse. At first, these duties can be performed by yourself. However, their importance should not be underestimated. The reputation and success of your enterprise, and, consequently, your profit, directly depends on the quality of your products. Large manufacturing enterprises sell their products to both end customers and other companies. Most of the grid is sold through construction and hardware stores, as well as wholesalers, which in turn work with large retail chains and industrial enterprises. Manufacturers producing nets in large quantities usually do not work directly with individuals, but they can take part in various tenders held by large customers - industrial enterprises. In the latter case, you will need a corporate account manager who will be looking for customers.

The wage fund, the purchase of raw materials and other current expenses will require up to 1 million rubles. per month. Thus, the organization of a large workshop for the production of mesh will require at least 2.5 million rubles.

Calculate the profit of such an enterprise. When the shop operates in one shift for an eight-hour working day, the average output per month is about 13.5-14 thousand square meters. meters of grid. The wholesale price for a chain-link mesh is about 100 rubles. per square meter. The price primarily depends on the material from which the mesh is made and the size of its cells. Thus, with these averaged data, the net production enterprise's revenue is about 1 million rubles. per month. When calculating the cost, the consumption of material for the production of a mesh is taken into account, which is 1.5 kg of wire for the manufacture of a square meter of a mesh with a small mesh size. Also take into account the energy consumption for its manufacture (6-7 kW per shift, depending on the equipment used and production volumes). The profitability of the production of chain-link mesh is about 9-10%. In this case, you can recoup all your investments in the organization of the workshop within 2-2.5 years. The main difficulty is to provide permanent sales channels for their products. However, even with relatively high competition in the production of such building materials, demand in many Russian regions still exceeds supply. If there is a sales market and the maximum workload of production with a decrease in the cost of production, it is quite possible to reduce the payback period to 1.5 years.
