How Do Sewing Equipment Enterprises Spend Their Winter?
For Taizhou's large scale sewing equipment industry, it is still a "cold winter" at the moment.
Statistics from the Taizhou Municipal Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau show that in the first two months of this year, the export volume of clothing machinery in the country was about 13000000 US dollars, down by 60% over the same period last year. In the past year, the export volume of Taizhou's sewing equipment industry has dropped by about 15% compared with the same period last year - the amazing sewing equipment industry in the past has seen a negative growth for more than 10 consecutive months.
"As early as the second half of 2007, the sewing equipment industry in Taizhou has entered a period of adjustment from the rising period." Pan Zhiwei, director of the Light Industry Department of the economic and Trade Commission, which is concerned about the development of sewing equipment industry for a long time, said that the adjustment period will not be over soon due to the financial crisis.
"This year will be the" shuffle "year for the sewing machine industry. Everyone can pick up a screwdriver to make sewing machines, and the era of everyone can make money will eventually pass. " Jiaojiang District sewing equipment accessories industry association secretary general Runmoncon said, Taizhou sewing equipment industry big shuffle is imperative.
Price cutting and corner Hunting: the shadow of a growth industry
Xia Chen town of Jiaojiang district has gathered five hundred or six hundred large and small sewing factories. It is a production base for sewing machines in the country.
On the afternoon of spring, walking down the town of Chen Chen street, it is obvious that this place is somewhat deserted than before. Ruan Meng Kang points to the postal savings office under the office: "there are many outsiders in the town, and the daily postal savings are very large. This year, the sewing industry is in a recession and the business is at least half."
In the machining center built by the Zhen Sheng Sewing Machinery Co., Ltd., which invested about 30000000 yuan last year, a worker was bending over to repair a CNC machine tool. He said that the company is mainly engaged in the processing of the inner ball hole copper connecting rod and the upward bending needle sliding bar assembly. Because of the decrease of the activity, many machines are in the condition of maintenance.
"Since last year, our business volume has been falling faster. Last year, we only finished about 50000000 yuan output value, compared with previous years, reduced by more than 30%. " Li Rengen, chairman of the company, said that the volume of business is expected to shrink further this year.
Zhen Sheng is an index enterprise in the Jiaojiang sewing accessories enterprises association, supporting more than 70 upstream manufacturers. Due to the early introduction of 6S and other advanced management mode, walking in the factory area, we saw that all kinds of products were stacked up neatly, and the worktable was spotlessly clean. Under the impact of the financial crisis, the enterprise was not spared, and more than 300 workers in the factory came to more than 200 this year. Li Rengen said he had worked for more than 10 years to witness the impact of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia on sewing equipment, but none of them had serious impact on the financial crisis.
This contrasts sharply with the fact that many small sewing factories scattered in the unknown corners of the Chen Dynasty are still booming.
In an unremarkable family workshop on a small street in the lower Chen Town, several migrant workers are working on several old machine tools for processing sewing machine parts. The boss, who was covered in oil, said, "business is changing with the price. The customers who are dealing with each other are acquaintances. The order came to open the machine, and it didn't stop for a while.
"Production of the same part, big factory compared with these small factories, the cost is at least 10% higher. Therefore, the price war, big factories simply can not play the small factory. Ruan Meng Kang said that under the impact of the financial crisis, the competition between big factories and small factories is even more difficult. "In such a depressed background, in the first two days of town, there were even people running to Luqiao to buy second-hand machine tools, ready to recruit troops to do a big job."
What makes Runmoncon more angry is that in order to compete with big factories for customers, many small factories are shoddy and shoddy, which damages the reputation of Taizhou sewing equipment.
Like price war, there are technological imitation and talent competition. "A useful technician, you pay three thousand yuan a month, I will pay five thousand yuan high salary, dig each other." Because the angle is too strong, some manufacturers have also told other manufacturers to the district and city.
According to Pan Zhiwei, after more than 20 years of development, Taizhou now has more than 1000 large and small sewing equipment enterprises, with an annual output value of about 20000000000 Yuan, with an annual output of over 5 million 500 thousand sets, accounting for 1/5 of the world's total output. "If the disorder competition intensifying, it will fundamentally damage the long-term development of Taizhou's sewing industry. In the face of the financial crisis, the sewing industry is more necessary to calm down and reflect on the way forward.
R & D and technological pformation: a never outdated topic
In fact, in order to avoid disorderly competition, as early as the beginning of the 20th century, many sewing manufacturers in Taizhou spared no effort to develop their own research and technological pformation with great efforts.
Walk into Jack holding group, see here still the machine rumble, business flourishing. It is reported that last year, the group's output value exceeded 700 million yuan, basically unchanged from the previous year.
"Jack has not been hit hard by the downturn of the industry, mainly because he is willing to invest in scientific research and catch up early in structural adjustment." Jack, chairman of the board, said that in recent years, the group's annual R & D investment accounts for more than 2% of the total sales volume, reaching about 20000000 yuan last year.
In order to strengthen the company's scientific research strength, in recent years, Jack group has intensified the introduction of high-end talents. At present, more than 10 international top sewing machine R & D experts, including 4 Japanese experts, have settled down in Jack.
Pay is always rewarded. Last year, Jack declared 25 national patents, close to half of the group's patent possession.
Tasting the sweetness of technological pformation, there are also gem groups. In order to speed up product pformation and upgrading, in recent years, the group has acted frequently. In terms of outsourcing, the group has made significant breakthroughs in intelligent sewing machines and oil-free sewing machines through the use of electronic control technology and aerospace technology. In terms of inlining, the group has accelerated the pace of innovation and pformation by establishing a national post doctoral workstation.
"Despite the great pressure of funds, gemstone has not invested much money in technological pformation over the past few years. Annual research funding usually accounts for about 5% of total sales. Ruan Xiaoming, the chairman of gem, said that because of the early implementation of technological pformation, the group achieved a main revenue of 979 million yuan last year, and there has been no decline in turnover.
But in Pan Zhiwei's eyes, the Taizhou sewing equipment industry is still focusing on imitation and innovation. Its R & D capability is weak, its R & D field is narrow, and there are not many products with independent intellectual property rights. There are still many articles to be done to avoid the homogeneity and excessive competition, including gem, Jack and other companies.
Annexation and reorganization: a drama that has just been staged
In January 13th, in the history of sewing equipment development in Taizhou, it is a special day.
On this day, Zhejiang's new leap Limited by Share Ltd, jointly launched by 7 enterprises such as stars, leaps, ZOJE and new Jack, was registered. The chairman of the new leap is Qiu Jibao, who is appointed by the board of directors. The consolidation and reorganization of the sewing equipment industry in Taizhou has taken a substantial step forward.
For the largest marriage in Taizhou's sewing industry, Lan Jianping, director of the Provincial Institute of industrial economics, said that no matter how the financial crisis evolves, the establishment of Limited by Share Ltd, the vision and vision of entrepreneurs, is the "magic weapon" to deal with the crisis. Restructuring, integration and growth are the only way for enterprises to overcome difficulties.
In Taizhou, many sewing machine enterprises have been looking for opportunities from the danger, turning their attention to foreign countries, aiming at the "big crocodile" of the sewing machines, which are crumbling under the impact of the financial crisis, and set off a wave of mergers and reorganizations.
The boss of a famous sewing machine enterprise in Taizhou is busy driving to Europe these days. In the past few years, the company was prepared to spend a lot of money on buying a share of a local sewing machine company. This time the company took out less than half of the price, and the other side promised to pfer the whole multinational company. The boss was overjoyed: if you take the European long company, you can at least shorten the development distance between yourself and the other party for 20 years.
It happens that there is a similar case. Another well-known sewing machine manufacturer in Taizhou is also working with an internationally renowned company in Europe to talk about how to marry. "Two months later, it will be clear. If we can grips with the advantages of technology, market and so on, the company will soon become one of the largest international companies.
"Snake swallow elephants" and "wolf swallow tiger"... At present, in the sewing machine industry, a long-awaited merger and reorganization is quietly staged. In the context of the financial crisis, who will be able to destroy the siege, and let us wait and see.
