To Reduce Costs &Nbsp; Dongguan's Two Shoe Factories Merge.

The ten largest in the world footwear industry Manufacturer Xing International Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Xing ang international") is located at Dongguan The Xingang shoe factory in Changan has been shut down and will be merged into Xingpeng shoe factory under Xingan international banner. It is reported that the merger plan for the two plant will be completed this year.

According to the responsible person of Xingpeng shoe factory and Xiaobian community, the merger is due to too much labor gap and cost control.

The factory director of the Xingpeng shoe factory said the factory. Order But the staff gap is too large. If we want to make the two factories run normally, about 8000 employees will be needed.

　 The shoe factory will stop production before December.

Last Thursday afternoon, at the entrance of Xingpeng shoe factory in the fourth industrial area of Xiaobian, Changan, Dongguan, a row of Van trucks were queuing up, a car came out, and another car drove into a busy scene.

A female owner of a small shop told a reporter, "it seems that a factory has been shut down. I heard that I want to merge, and I heard that I want to move."

Xingpeng and Xingang two shoe factories are among the earliest shoe companies in Changan Xiaobian community. Xingan International (the "nine Hing Holdings Limited") shows that Xingang international has set up Xingang shoe factory in Changan, Dongguan in 1991, and has set up Xingpeng shoe factory in 1995 to develop and manufacture men's leisure shoes for famous companies such as Clarks, Rockport, Timberland and Wolverine.

Xingang shoe factory and Xingpeng shoe factory are among the ten largest footwear manufacturers in the world. In 1982, Mr. Chen Jianmin, Mr. Jiang Zhigang and Mr. Zhao Mingjing were founded in Taiwan.

Cai, director of the Xiaobian community neighborhood committee in Changan, recalled that Xingang shoe factory was a small factory when it was founded, but then gradually expanded its scale to become one of the largest shoemaking enterprises in the Xiaobian community. During the peak period, the total number of employees in Xingang and Xingpeng was more than 20 thousand.

However, due to difficulties in recruitment, Xingang shoe factory has announced that it will suspend production and will be incorporated into Xingpeng shoe factory. "The labor gap is too large to guarantee the daily production," Cai said. Before the production stopped, the shoe factory had more than 2000 employees. At present, Xingpeng shoe factory has more than 7000 employees, but it needs 15 thousand employees to make the two factories run normally.

According to a person in charge of Xiaobian Community Industrial Office, although Xing and Xing Peng belong to a group, the legal representatives are not the same. Therefore, employees need to sign contracts with Xingpeng international after the termination of the labor contract. He said the shoe factory will stop all before December.

"If the employees are willing, they can come to Xingpeng." Cai director Chang said.

It has been revealed that the shoe factory of Xing an has solved the problem of the whereabouts of the employees and has achieved a smooth transition.

　 Mergers will greatly reduce costs.

In fact, in order to solve the problem of employment, the two factories of Xingang and Xingpeng are "racking their brains". In order to alleviate the shortage of labor, Xingpeng shoes factory recruited more than 1000 employees from Xinjiang in the form of counterpart recruitment. However, due to poor language communication, more than 1000 employees returned home.

And the gap with labor gap is the rise of production costs, which is also an important reason for the prosperity of the final integration into Xingpeng.

According to the introduction, although it belongs to Xingan international, Xingxing is known as "one factory". Xingpeng is known as the "two factory", but the two factories are independent of each other. {page_break}

"The cost of management is high, and it is not easy to take orders," said the head of the Xiaobian Community Industrial Office. Some orders are not readily available because of shortage of manpower. He believed that the combination of prosperity and Xing Peng would greatly reduce the cost of plant management, and on the other hand, facilitate the purchase of orders.

"Now that the cost is rising too much, raw material prices and labor costs are rising, but the price your customers have given you has not increased much, so you have to control costs from management."

　 News analysis

Xingpeng plant capacity or transfer

In the interview, the reporter also learned that because of the long-term shortage of workers, Xingpeng shoes factory also plans to shift some production capacity outwards. Xingpeng shoe factory next to a factory security told reporters that two years ago heard the news of Xingpeng shoe factory relocation.

In this regard, Xiaobian community residential committee director Cai confirmed. He said, Xingpeng shoe factory relocation plan started three years ago, but the relocation of production capacity will not be completed in one step, but slowly moved away.

Regarding the Xingpeng's capacity relocation plan, director Cai said that the main reason is the shortage of employees. "At the most time, two factories add up to more than 20 thousand people, and now they should be below 10 thousand."

The head of the Xiaobian Community Industrial Office said that although the export market in Europe and the United States is not good, Xingpeng and Xingang are not short of orders. The problem is that the order is sufficient, but there is not much money to make. Therefore, the two factories are making selective orders. "Some unprofitable orders are directly pushed away."

He said that in recent years, Xing international has expanded its capacity greatly, and has built factories in Huizhou, Heyuan, Hunan, Vietnam and other places, but it will not expand its capacity in Changan. The reason is that Changan has difficulty recruiting workers, and labor costs are rising rapidly.

However, the director of CAI Peng of Xingpeng shoe factory said that the problem of capacity relocation will depend on the specific recruitment conditions. If the recruitment is not ideal during the Spring Festival, "another plan will be launched". However, he did not disclose the specific content of another plan.
