How does the factory compete with the developing countries with low labor prices? Please come to the Parkdale Mills's Walnut mill in Walnut Cove, try to throw a bowling ball on the production line here.
Rest assured that your ball will not touch anyone, but you may lose money for the expensive equipment that is smashed.
The factory, which covers an area of nearly 20 thousand square meters, will rotate seven hours a day, 24 hours a day.
Only 71 workers fell in three shifts, but they could produce 680 thousand kilograms of cotton yarn per week.
In the evening shift, there are only four football field factories with only 11 employees on duty.
The secret of keeping the company profitable is to invest in automation equipment continuously, so that less skilled skilled workers can produce more cotton yarn, so the price of the cotton yarn produced is low enough to export to the Honduras and Dominica Republic, where it is used to make T-shirts of big clothing companies such as Canada Gildan Activewear (GIL.TO: quotes).
The 19 year old factory is located in a small town with only 1465 people in the north of North Carolina.
With the latest automation equipment introduced in the factory, the workload of four workers is equivalent to 15 to 20 of the workload of old equipment.
"Not the original equipment is bad, but the technology has been updated," said manager B.B. McGuire. "Without this technology, we will not retain competitiveness."
The factory has cut about 40% of its workforce over the past five years, but its output has risen.
