Prato Chinese Garment Processing Factory Boosts Italy Manufacturing
According to Italy's "European Union times" news, mention of Italy brand, people first thought of GUCCI (Gucci), Versace (VERSVCE), Prada (PRADA) and other world famous trademarks.
In 2007, the world's top ten men's clothing brand sampling survey, unexpectedly Italy brand accounted for 8 seats.
It is these top brands in the world that set off the gold lettered signboard of "Made in Italy". Behind this gold medal sign, I do not know how many Chinese have contributed silently to themselves, and how many Chinese people are hiding behind the Italy brand.
Prato is the birthplace and production base of many Italy brands, and has been crowned as the "Textile City" by Europe. With hundreds of years of textile manufacturing history, Prato has produced many famous textile brands. In the 80s of last century, a large number of Chinese began to pour into this town. Chinese and locals once again consolidated the position of Plato's European textile base. Today, in Europe, Prato is regarded as a synonym for Chinatown and textiles.
According to the official statistics of Prato, there are about more than 30 thousand Chinese people living in the country who are legally resident, and those who have stayed illegally in China are almost twice as many as those who are legally resident. Of the Chinese living in Plato, 80% of Chinese are in the garment processing industry, and 10% of Chinese are engaged in the wholesale textile and clothing industry. Thousands of Chinese garment factories in the streets of Prato have been working on "made in Italy" all day and night.
Prato's Chinese clothing wholesale industry mainly gathered in the two major industrial areas of the suburbs, IOLO and TAVOLA, and two industrial zones were covered with Chinese and Italian company names and advertising signs.
In the EOLO industrial area, Chinese enterprises have occupied more than 95% of the number of enterprises in the industrial area. It is very difficult to find the real Italy enterprises here. Being able to enter the EOLO industrial area is a sign of success both in the Chinese community and in the eyes of locals. The enterprises in the EOLO industrial area are mainly wholesale in clothing, and each enterprise accounts for about 500 to 1000 square meters. Most of the products are commissioned by other enterprises, and then sold separately.
Because of the tens of thousands of merchants who gather into the industrial area to purchase clothes every day, the EO building has become a geomancy treasure land, and the entry threshold is quite high. There are only a few hundred wholesale shops in the eolle building, and the government's protection policy is not allowed to expand the shops here. Whether local or Chinese, to enter the EOLO industrial area, it is necessary to purchase the right of operation of the store from the original enterprise.
According to industry sources, buying about 500 square meters of wholesale shops in the EOLO industrial area is about 500 thousand euros to 700 thousand euros. The right to operate is not equal to property right. The enterprises that purchase the right of operation still need to pay a lot of monthly rent after they have checked in. The Dave industry area is basically the same as the EOLO building, and it also needs to purchase the right to operate. The difference is that the proportion of Chinese enterprises in the DW industry area is relatively small, about 40%.
Entering the two famous industrial zones of Prato is a symbol of the success of the Chinese society. The two industrial zones are only the designers and sellers of "made in Italy". The real meaning of "Italy manufacturing" comes from a large number of Chinese garment factories.
The garment processing factory opened by Prato Chinese, the truly "made in Italy", is far less beautiful than people think, with beautiful factories, modern production environment and first-class production facilities. Most of the Chinese garment factories are hidden in residential areas and neighborhoods. There are only 35 small factories and two or three large factories. Factories are not like wholesale companies. They can't find any signs in front of the door. If it's not the sound of sewing machines ticking away, they will be regarded as a warehouse or a house even if they pass by the factory gate.
The pratuohua garment processing factory mainly produces and sells garments for the Chinese enterprises in the wholesale area and the garment enterprises in Italy. Wholesale and garment companies usually make the designed and clipped garment pieces processed by the processing field, then entrust the ironing factory to ironing, and then return to the company for sale. And the processing plant is going to the wholesale company every day to pick up the goods, and after processing, the processing fee is charged by the piece.
There are essential differences between Prato's garment processing factory and garment factory in mainland China. Here is a tailoring production process. There is no modern streamlined production. One garment sewing is either finished by a partner or a person completes the sewing work independently. The quality of the clothing depends entirely on the level of personal production.
The workers in the garment processing factory provide free accommodation for the boss, and the workers receive wages by piecework. When busy, Plato garment processing factory workers can earn 2 to 3 thousand euros per month, of course, the daily working time is also more than 15 hours. Idle workers can only live for free, and the boss does not pay fixed wages to workers.
According to statistics from relevant departments, about 10% of the Chinese people who work in garment processing in Prato are legally resident, while most Chinese are illegal immigrants. These Chinese live at the bottom of European society. It is precisely these Chinese people who maintain "made in Italy" and in Italy's land. They become the real creators of "Italy made". They are a group of Chinese who are standing behind Italy.
