Transformation Of Textile Industry In Yangtze River Delta

Industrial transfer has increasingly become a reality rather than a simple trend. In this process, the government and enterprises have a lot of homework to do. To this end, the reporter interviewed two textile enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta, from their transfer path may outline their respective transformation roadmap.

Transfer is the trend of the times.

To describe the status quo of Yin Guoxin, chairman of CHENFENG group, seems appropriate.

For most of the month, he will stay in his hometown, Jintan, Jiangsu. Before the 1967, the morning breeze was built here. It was originally made of silk garments and mainly sold domestically. In the last century, the transformation began in 90s. At present, the morning breeze has 6 factories in Jintan.

More than two hours from Jintan, we can get to Shanghai. In fact, the headquarters of the morning wind has already moved there before 2005, so that enterprises can better expand their export business. In Kunshan, next to Shanghai, CHENFENG also has a beautiful factory. Because of its convenient transportation, one of its factories is now used as the training base for the export and innovation capacity of the China Textile Import and Export Chamber of Commerce.

This year, Yin Guoxin often drove more than 3 hours to go to Suqian, Northern Jiangsu. He built a factory here before 2002, now expanding, and is expected to be completed in October. The cost of labor here is about 20% lower than that in Jintan and Kunshan. Another difference is that 1300 workers here are all locals, while 70% of Jintan's 4200 workers are locals, while 90% of Kunshan's 1000 are migrant workers.

North Jiangsu, a relatively backward economy, is a place for industrial transfer in South of Jiangsu. Yin Guo Xin said that he did not consider shifting to the Midwest. Ningbo lion group chose the destination of industrial transfer in neighboring Anhui.

Lion, founded in May 1994, is mainly export oriented. Knitted garment Enterprises, from annual sales of 30 million yuan, to achieve 1 billion 805 million yuan in 2009.

"Transfer is the general trend." A person in charge of the Ningbo Dan Dan group told reporters that in 1990s, he saw many garment factories in Hongkong, but almost disappeared in 2000. Since the 80s and 90s of last century, enterprises such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hongkong have been transferred to Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places to reduce costs. These areas have become the base of clothing production in China. With the increasing cost of land and employment in the coastal areas, the central and western regions have become the places of transfer by virtue of the advantages of labor and the improvement of industrial chains.

The company has already been in Nanling County of Wuhu, Anhui, and has built a sample factory with 400 people. By the end of June this year, it will invest 250 million yuan in large-scale construction, covering an area of 180 mu. It is expected to be completed in 3 years. The project will produce 50 million kinds of clothing annually, with annual sales income of 2 billion yuan and employing 6000 workers.

Never fight a war without preparation.

Anhui is closer to Ningbo. 60% of its employees were from Anhui and Jiangxi. All these make Anhui the destination of its industrial transfer, and the perfection of the industrial chain is an important reason why Shi Dan chose to settle in Nanling.

As an export garment processing base of Anhui Province, Nanling now has 15 textile and garment related enterprises, and 12 textile and garment enterprises and other supporting enterprises in various districts and towns. It has initially formed a full featured industrial chain of weaving, dyeing, finishing, embroidery, printing and garment making. Next step Lion Dan A dyeing factory will be established in Wuhu to improve the industrial chain.

Suqian may also become another transfer base for lion Dan. However, because of its geographical location and the advantages of labor resources, "it is not particularly obvious". At present, the project has not yet started and is in the wait-and-see stage. "Think twice before you can fight the war without preparation."

When many enterprises extend their tentacles to the central and western regions of Henan, Sichuan, and even Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries, lion has his own consideration. "From the point of view of exports, our delivery is mainly in Shanghai, and the cost of transportation is too great to transfer to the mainland. However, we are now creating a brand for domestic sales, which is possible later. " In addition, he went to Vietnam to investigate and found that "local raw materials, labor standards, wages and Anhui almost, cloth 90% from China, and infrastructure is too poor."

For Southeast Asia, Yin Guoxin also felt that its industry support and other aspects were far less mature than domestic, and more importantly, the NPC deputy said: "the textile and garment industry can provide a large quantity. Obtain employment Opportunity, if transferred abroad, may reduce the cost of enterprises, but it is not conducive to solving the employment problem in such a labor-intensive country.

He believes that at present, the most competitive textile industry in China is the international textile and garment industry. However, there are many domestic enterprises, the price competition is fierce, and the quality and innovation are relatively few. "If the government guides, we should keep high and low-grade enterprises with global competitiveness in the country. After all, the East has gone 20 years earlier, and it can develop high-grade clothing. The central and western regions are characterized by low and medium grade. " He hoped that the transfer is also a process of transformation and upgrading. "If it is not upgraded, it will be difficult to survive."

Local governments should make clear directions.

The different stages of development of enterprises need different resources allocation, and Yin Guoxin, who has taken the lead in the industrial transfer, has tasted the sweetness. Statistics in 2009 showed that the export volume of woven garments exported to Japan in the morning wind ranked first in the country.

In his view, we can not fight the unprepared battle, except for the enterprises and the government that undertakes it. He feels that some areas simply emphasize land cheap, tax concessions, do not understand their own advantages and disadvantages in human resources, industrial base and so on. "Just how close to the airport and the railway station. After a few years, all the highways have been repaired. What do you compete with others?"

There is also a lack of clear direction for investment. "All want to recruit, hi-tech enterprises also want to labor intensive enterprises, but have you ever wondered where the high-tech human resources come from? Does the labor-intensive enterprises have enough potential for development?" he pointed out: "at present, the trend of industrial transfer is obvious, but how to turn to where to go, the local government should also provide more transparent and targeted information, which can provide a reference for enterprises."
