The Textile Export Situation Is Very Grim.

Not long ago, commissioned by the State Council, Song Lihong, director of the operation and monitoring department of the comprehensive Department of the Ministry of Commerce, went to Shengze, the foreign trade department of the Ministry of Commerce, the industrial department, the China Textile Industry Association and the China Textile and garment import and Export Chamber of commerce.

It is understood that Shengze textile enterprises should handle their export predicament in a different way. When Song Lihong concluded his research, he said with emotion: "Shengze textile industry has taught me a lesson."

Research background: textile export situation is very grim.

On the first morning, the research group held talks with 7 local textile enterprises of different sizes, and visited 4 representative textile enterprises in Shengze in the afternoon.

Research shows that in recent years, the export tax rebate rate has dropped, the RMB exchange rate has changed too much, bank credit has tightened up, labor costs have risen and other factors have become the "heavy" textile enterprises can not afford.

Enterprises have encountered more or less the problem of reduced profits and backlog of stocks. A small number of small and medium-sized textile enterprises are facing the dilemma of adjustment, compression, or even bankruptcy and reorganization.

Voice of Shengze: challenges and opportunities

In the face of many unfavorable factors, Shengze textile enterprises have not flinched but are facing difficulties.

Aiming at the export situation in 2008, they formulated their own countermeasures.

Wujiang morning dragon Xinsheng Textile Co., Ltd. made less than 3 million dollars in foreign trade last year, and this year's target is 5 million dollars.

Under the influence of so many unfavorable factors, export is still their main direction of attack.

Wang Yunsong, general manager of the company, said that at present, they are working with Japanese emperor company and American wave Layton company to produce sports and home textiles series fabrics, and export indirectly through two foreign trade companies in Nantong and Jiaxing.

Another reason why general manager Wang Yunsong is full of confidence is that "our equipment is relatively advanced. At present, it belongs to a higher level in Wujiang, with an average worker looking at 16 machines".

The "stand rate" is comparable to that of Wujiang Hua Ju Textile Co., Ltd.

It is understood that Hua Ju's equipment is specially customized from Japan's Tsuda Ko and TOYOTA. Each worker watches more than 20 machines, up to 30 units.

As a typical example of the development of small textile enterprises in Wujiang, Hua Ju has a small scale, but its business management has done fairly well.

According to general manager Ren Hong, enterprise management mainly pushed the 5S and 6S management mode in Japan, and emancipated manpower through electronic whole process control, and reduced the cost of human resources.

Shen Li, director of Wujiang Haicheng Textile Co., Ltd. analyzed the status quo for journalists: how much to sell from how much they sell, how much they sell, how much they can sell without innovation, and the textile industry in Shengze has gone through three stages, and now it is in the third stage.

She said: "everyone else has products, it is very difficult to sell, enterprises will have to do products that others can not do."

This year, the company has identified the development strategy: to shrink the existing scale within two or three years, and adjust product strategy to cotton products.

"Because the export of cotton products does not require quotas, and it is not included in European antidumping, there is also a warp knitted product, because warp knitting products have less labor and less electricity consumption, so they have a competitive advantage."

Shen Li confidently said.

"If enterprises want to survive, they must take the road of independent research and development."

Shi Qing Island, chairman of Wujiang Fuhua Weaving Co., Ltd.

It is understood that Fu Hua company invested a total of tens of millions of yuan last year for R & D, accounting for nearly 1/4 of the company's annual profits.

Last year, the company developed more than 300 new products, more than 80 of which belong to the independent research and development projects of enterprises.

"Enterprises should now seize the opportunity to pfer large quantities of orders from South Korea to China, and speed up the development of the products they have developed to the market."

Shi Qing island said.

As the largest textile enterprise in Wujiang, Hengli Group has more than 300 research and development departments.

Last year, the Group invested nearly 200 million yuan in R & D funds, accounting for nearly 20% of the company's annual profits.

According to Chen Jianhua, President of the group, Hengli will continue to work hard this year to increase financial support.
