The business of manufacturing children's sports complexes is highly profitable, which allows a novice entrepreneur to reach a break-even volume of production relatively quickly.
The manufacture and sale of children's sports complexes is a profitable business that requires considerable initial investment. The main manufacturers of such products are located in the central region of Russia. In other areas of competition there is practically no. At the same time, the high cost and delivery time of such overall products from the manufacturer to the regions complicate and complicate the work of retailers.
Features of the production of children's sports complexes
The production of children's sports complexes is a labor-intensive process that takes place under constant control. The main materials used for the manufacture of such equipment are metal, wood, plastic, waterproof plywood. It will take about two months to prepare and launch production.
Children's complexes are manufactured according to a modular system. First, a massive metal frame is made, which underlies each individual module. To do this, the metal profile is processed on a shot line, and then cut into blanks.
Billets arrive at the welding site, where at special posts the whole structure is welded together. High accuracy is achieved with a laser measuring tool. The finished workpiece is transferred to the painting area, where the conveyor type lines are installed.
Before painting, metal elements are processed mechanically and then chemically. This is done in order to eliminate various contaminants and rust from the metal surface. In modern factories, the method of applying polymer powder paints to metal surfaces with their subsequent melting is used, as a result of which the sprayed layer hardens and becomes very durable, resistant to ultraviolet radiation (retain color for 15 years). Obviously, the paint used for this must be of high quality, environmentally friendly and safe.
Like any other product intended for children, gaming and sports facilities must meet the most stringent safety requirements. All structures must be firmly fixed. They are placed in compliance with the security zone. Wooden elements used in the production of complexes should be carefully sanded so that the child could not get hurt about them. Metal elements are also processed using special technology.
Throughout the entire production cycle, from the storage of raw materials to finished products, weather conditions are excluded (the entire production cycle is carried out in special enclosed spaces).
Requirements for certification of children's sports complexes
In our country, such products must be certified according to the mandatory certification system GOST R.
The following certificates of conformity exist:
- GOST R 52167-2003 “Equipment for children's playgrounds. Safety designs and test methods for the swing. General requirements";
- GOST R 52168-2003 “Equipment for children's playgrounds. Safety designs and test methods for slides. General requirements";
- GOST R 52169-2003 "Equipment for children's playgrounds. Design safety and test methods. General requirements";
- GOST R 52299-2004 "Equipment for children's playgrounds. Safety designs and test methods for rocking chairs. General requirements";
- GOST R 25779-90 "Toys. General safety methods and control methods ”;
- GOST R 52300-2004 "Equipment for children's playgrounds. Safety designs and test methods for carousels. General requirements";
- TU 96100-005-54082460-2003 ("Soft children's play complexes").
In addition, each product must have a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion. Finished products undergo mandatory tests and strength tests in several stages: factory tests (at a load of 230 kg), Russian certification tests (at a load of 200 kg), and other certification tests. As a result, only equipment that is not identified by the results of all inspections and tests of residual deformations and traces of destruction is allowed for sale.
All threaded connections and protruding parts must be protected with decorative plastic plugs and caps, so that the child could not get injured on sharp metal elements. The pipes used in the production can withstand a significant load, and the special nodes of the connection of the racks prevent them from bending at high loads. Products that have successfully passed all the tests are handed over for completing with the necessary elements and packaging.
Business Startup Guidelines
At the first stage of work, it is more profitable not to open our own production, but to give orders for the manufacture of complexes to the metal fabrication plant. Think in advance of the marketing system for the finished product. It is most advantageous to produce not outdoor sports and game complexes, but home ones (walls with fastening between the ceiling and the floor or to the wall with support on the floor).
The minimum amount of initial investment necessary for the organization of own production of sports and gaming complexes is from 5 million rubles. The business of manufacturing children's sports complexes is highly profitable, which allows a novice entrepreneur to reach a break-even volume of production relatively quickly. In addition, like any other business related to the production and marketing of sports equipment, it is a socially oriented project aimed at assisting the physical development and strengthening the health of children and adolescents, which gives the right to receive certain benefits.
The estimated return on investment is at least 35-40% per annum, and the payback period is about two years.
