Textile Industry Chain: Dyestuff Enterprises Need Modern Service Consciousness

In the textile industry chain, dyeing and finishing is the most important link to change the fabric style. Its technical content is high, especially the matching of dyes, auxiliaries and technical equipment.

However, the printing and dyeing mill, though the users of dyes, often do not know the dye very well, and the Dyestuff Factory mainly produces and sells, lacking professional guidance and applied talents, and no strong sense of service.

This creates a serious problem - the disjointed links in the industrial chain.

The author believes that from the perspective of dyestuff enterprises, a more effective way to improve this dilemma is to guide enterprises with modern service consciousness, attach importance to downstream application services, and provide a complete set of service solutions for dyeing and finishing enterprises.

Compared with Ciba, sanders and Bayer, a more than 200 year old foreign dyeing enterprise, China's dyestuff enterprises started late, with only a decade of history, and there is not enough experience in developing new products and applying technical services.

Frankly speaking, China's dyestuff industry is developed on the basis of imitation of foreign dye varieties. The foundation of innovation is weak, and the accumulation of technology is not abundant, especially the lack of talents who can combine dye synthesis and application. There is a big gap between the development of new products and foreign multinational companies.

The author believes that an important reason why the domestic dyestuff industry is following the reality of foreign new products and technologies is the disjointed industrial chain.

This kind of disconnection has laid the foreshadowing of training talents in Colleges and universities.

Students studying dyeing and finishing in Colleges and universities do not know the chemical structure and production synthesis of dyes, but those who study the structure and synthesis of dyes do not know much about dye application technology and dyeing and finishing technology.

In other countries, knowledge from dye synthesis to dyeing and finishing is carried out in both institutions and enterprises. They know both the chemical structure of dyes and the application of dyes.

Therefore, after understanding the new requirements of customers, foreign dyestuff enterprises are able to develop dyestuffs that meet or lead demand early in the endless stream of new fibers, the trend of multi fiber blending and the ever-changing application needs.

Based on the analysis of the current situation of the world dyestuff industry, the global textile industry has been pferred to China and other Asian countries, with the increasingly obvious restrictions on resources, energy, environment and labor costs. The overseas prospects for the dyestuff industry are not optimistic. It indicates that the traditional foreign dyestuff giants will fade out of the dye stage gradually. The global dyestuff industry will be reintegrated in the next 5~10 years, and Chinese dyestuff enterprises will find more opportunities.

More than 10 years ago, BASF, Bayer, Hearst and other giants of the dye business integrated into the world's largest dye company Desta, has declared bankruptcy in September 2009, is currently being integrated by India and China's dyestuff enterprises.

Ciba has already sold dye auxiliaries.

It is certain that China still has great room for development because of its huge industrial supporting base and market.

For downstream textile printing and dyeing industry, dye companies can only provide products that are far from enough. With the development of textile fibers and more stringent requirements for new energy saving and environmental protection, what they need more is to provide application technology support and services to meet all kinds of new demands.

The most representative company in China is Shanghai Ya Yun company.

More than 10 years ago, on the basis of studying the operation mode of foreign enterprises and combining the development trend of dyestuff industry, Ya Yun company began its development of its distinctive business mode.

The company not only studies the new structure of dyes, but also develops new products of synergy and synergy from application technology. At the same time, it also vigorously develops textile auxiliaries related to dyestuff application, so that dyes and auxiliaries are better integrated in dyeing and finishing process, and the integration of dyeing and finishing is realized.

And Ya Yun company's most distinctive feature is to provide all kinds of perfect application technology services to printing and dyeing enterprises as far as possible, and gradually integrate into the various elements of modern services according to the development of the industry, and become the most comprehensive supplier of dyeing and finishing programs in the industry.

At present, the attempt to make the manufacturing industry into a modern service industry complies with the development trend of the industry. Although Ya Yun has made some outstanding achievements, it is a long-term process and needs to keep pace with the times and innovate continuously.

In the future, when international companies with modern service functions exits the dye industry, domestic enterprises will face unprecedented opportunities and challenges. It is very important to better integrate technology services and product development.

A gratifying phenomenon is that a batch of dyestuff enterprises in China have realized the importance of providing modern services, and are adjusting the mode of enterprise development in this direction. Some enterprises have begun to introduce overseas experienced high-end talents.

However, there are still many specific problems to solve when a large number of enterprises in China adjust from the former large-scale development mode to the modern service mode.

At present, energy conservation and emission reduction, green environmental protection has become a topic that can not be opened to the printing and dyeing industry.

The development and application of high-end, energy-saving and environment-friendly dyes are of great significance to energy conservation and emission reduction in the industry.

For example, with the development of dyestuffs and technological innovation, in the multi fiber blended dyeing process, the traditional "two bath two step method" is replaced by one bath one step dyeing process, and the short process technology is developed.

The promotion of these processes requires support from new dye products and related processes. Dye manufacturers can provide supporting services for printing and dyeing enterprises.

In fact, there are many options to dye a desired color. But considering environmental protection, health, energy saving and other factors, it is necessary to combine dye, process and equipment together to provide a competitive advantage for those who can provide downstream services.

In the future, we can even broaden our thinking and adopt advanced technologies such as modern information and IT network platform to accelerate the integration of industrialization and informatization.

As Ya Yun company is working hard to build, the future is expected to achieve such a scenario: a fashion designer inspired by some color of nature. After taking pictures with iPhone phone, he can search out the best dye, technology and equipment for producing the color on the specialized network platform.
