导语：2025年，中国食品行业深陷"内卷化"泥潭：低价倾销、同质化竞争、创新乏力，多家馅料企业被迫停工。 然而，成都市新都区香柏树食品厂却逆势增长，销售额不仅没有下滑，甚至与去年同期略有提升，客户复购率超85%。其背后的逻辑是什么？近日，我们 就该问题深入企业，与香柏树总经理陈美莺，探寻这家"制馅世家"的破局密码。 一、行业寒冬：当"价格战"吞噬利润，创新才是唯一的护城河 针对当前食品行业内卷严重，不少企业以低价作为撬动市场的策略。陈美莺有着自己的看法，她表示低价竞争本质是"劣币驱逐良币"的恶性循环。馅料行 业门槛低，部分企业为抢市场，用劣质原料压缩成本，甚至添加防腐剂延长保质期。但消费者最终会用味蕾投票，香柏树的定位是做好产品，不以劣质原 料的低价抢市场，而是坚持长期主义服务好品质客户。 另一方面，香柏树用技术壁垒替代价格战。例如，公司的脱皮洗沙工艺耗时17年研发，能将红豆沙研磨至0.18毫米级细腻度，这是机器和手工都难以复制 的精度。这种"毫米级匠心"让客户愿意为品质买单，比如某连锁烘焙品牌用该品质的豆沙馅后，客单价反而从5元涨至8元，利润反增3倍。 二、柔性智造：破解"潮汐式订单"的供应链革命 面对当下 ...
