Cotton Problems Make Enterprises Entangled With &Nbsp; &Nbsp; What Can Spinning Enterprises Do?

Since 2010, the focus of China's textile market has focused almost exclusively on cotton. Cotton price The sharp fluctuation affects all the nerves of spinning, weaving and spinning machinery enterprises. Then, cotton problem and Textile machinery enterprises What are the direct relationships? What can be done by textile machinery enterprises today? Lida President of China Sigi Foehn 。

The author: since 2010, the sharp fluctuation of cotton prices has not only directly affected the production and operation of downstream textile enterprises, but also the order of the upstream textile enterprises has been changing constantly. As a textile equipment manufacturer, how do you view the supply and demand of cotton? What are your suggestions?

Feng Siqi: the cost of raw materials occupies a large proportion in the cost of yarn. Therefore, how to improve the utilization rate of raw materials is particularly important in today's high cotton prices. As a matter of fact, more and more customers are choosing whether or not they can effectively improve the utilization rate of materials as an important reference index when choosing equipment. It is undeniable that many equipment manufacturers still pay more attention to how to increase the production capacity of equipment, and blindly pursue the improvement of production speed, but neglect how to use raw materials efficiently. I think this problem must arouse the attention of equipment manufacturers. In this regard, Lida Company can be said to be ahead. All along, we are trying to find ways to use raw materials more efficiently under the premise of high speed. For example, under the premise of ensuring the fine yarn quality, the E66 production combing machine can reach up to 500 tweezers per minute, the highest output can reach 72 kg / h, and the noil rate will be reduced by 1%~2%. Therefore, customers benefit from this equipment not only for efficient, high yield and high quality yarns, but also for maximizing the utilization ratio of raw cotton.

Since 2010, China's textile industry has again seen a shocking and high-speed development trend. At the same time, it also effectively pushed the demand for textile machinery equipment. Not only the sales volume of products in the whole spinning machine industry reached a record high, but also in the first three quarters, China's textile machinery imports reached 3 billion 74 million dollars. How long do you think this trend can last?

Feng Siqi: I think the prosperity of the textile machinery industry in 2010 is more of a restorative growth, with the characteristics of periodic fluctuations. But overall, China's overall economy is still expanding, and domestic demand still has much room for improvement. Therefore, in the long run, China's textile machinery industry will still maintain a positive growth trend, but next year there may be a slowdown stage. From the perspective of market sales in 2010, the cotton spinning industry as an example, a large part of the new projects is complete sets of equipment. I believe that in the coming period, with the continuous development of the Chinese market and the more attention paid by the enterprises to the whole process, the sales of the complete sets of cotton spinning equipment will continue to grow. The idea that the whole process is consistent with the idea of "textile system supplier", which has been adhering to by Lida, has made us more confident in the Chinese market.

The author: under the premise of the rising price of raw materials, energy prices, labor prices and the appreciation expectation of RMB exchange rate, a significant trend of the domestic textile machinery market is that textile enterprises have greatly increased the purchase of high-grade equipment, and the products with high efficiency, energy saving and less labor will be the mainstream of market demand in the future. This undoubtedly provides a huge market space for Lida. Then, how does the company adapt to the market demand in product development? {page_break}

Feng Siqi: in recent years, we obviously feel that the pursuit of profit maximization of Chinese enterprises needs more and more high-end equipment. The G35 and K45 spinning machines we developed for these customers have the longest body, the highest speed, the most advanced and reliable automatic doffing system. This makes our customers stand on the leading edge of the ring spinning and compact spinning again. At the same time, the R40 automatic rotor spinning machine developed by Lida is also well suited to the needs of these enterprises. The machine can reach 500 spindles and the speed of rotor can reach up to 160 thousand rpm. With convenient process setting, humanized operation mode and huge data expert system, it can effectively reduce the dependence of customers on skilled workers. In addition, Chinese textile enterprises have begun to pay close attention to the management system of information plant in recent years. Lida has launched the cobweb system SPIDERweb at the right time. This system can collect and monitor the production and quality data of all Lida equipment online, and display the information of process flow in charts and charts, so as to effectively improve the management efficiency of customers.

Author: in 1998, Lida set up the first spinning machine manufacturing factory in China in Changzhou. After 12 years, Lida will build another factory in Changzhou. Does this mean that the strategic development of Lida will rely more heavily on the Chinese market?

Feng Siqi: with the rapid development of China's textile industry, the pace of Lida's advance in China has never slowed down. After reaching Changzhou in 1998, Lida (Changzhou) launched a plant expansion in 2006, and only 4 years later, the scale of production is far from meeting the needs of customers. In fact, as early as 2008, we have completed the planning of the new factory, but due to the impact of the global financial crisis, the plan was postponed until 2010. In the future new factories, we will not only bring more textile products from Europe, but also increase training centers, spinning centers and spare parts warehouses, so as to provide better services for Chinese customers.

In the overall development strategy of Lida, China does occupy a very important position. This is not only because China is the world's largest cotton textile base. At the same time, we also need to regard the Changzhou factory as an important part of the global supply chain. Besides providing the latest technology for Chinese customers, it also shoulders the mission of providing spare parts, spare parts and even the whole machine for overseas markets.

Author: in recent years, the level of China's textile machinery manufacturing industry is also gradually improving, especially cotton spinning equipment has a strong competitive advantage. For Lida, how can we win in the competition with local enterprises?

Feng Siqi: Yes, in recent years, China's textile machinery manufacturing industry has developed rapidly, and has made remarkable achievements in many fields. But Lida always adheres to the best equipment and the most advanced technology to conquer Chinese enterprises. It is undeniable that prices have always been an important factor in many textile companies that love Lida equipment. In fact, with the production of the drawing frame, comber and other equipment successively in China, the price of Lida equipment has declined. After the completion of the new plant in Changzhou, we will gradually realize the production of a series of core technologies and equipment in China, including opening, cleaning, carding, drawing, combing, ring spinning, rotor spinning, and so on. On the basis of reducing the cost, the Chinese textile enterprises will enjoy the Swiss made "China made" spinning machinery equipment at a more favorable price.
