Garment foundry companies are changing

Recently, a company in Shishi is in a difficult position.

Two years ago, the company was still making garment processing. Now it has switched to the electronics industry.

The company official said: "in 2006, we made a set of European outdoor clothing to make two hundred or three hundred yuan, but in recent years, the situation is getting worse and worse. At the worst time, it only earns a few cents. Sometimes, in order to fight for customers, we even get orders that are not profitable."

It is understood that many textile and garment enterprises in Quanzhou are doing OEM for European clothing brands.

However, since the European debt crisis, orders and OEM profits from Europe have been declining.

Liu Kaiding, director of fashion design department of Bao de group, admitted: "in the past two years, influenced by the European debt crisis, the overseas trade of the company has declined, and the production capacity of the production line has generated more space."

In this regard, Yao Tong, Secretary of the Shishi children's wear industry association, said: "in the past two years, Quanzhou enterprises, which are doing wholesale work and selling foreign orders, are getting more and more difficult."

"The cost of producing garments in Turkey and Tunisia is higher than that in China, but considering the extent of China's salary increase, the cost is not much higher, and Turkey and Tunisia are much closer to Italy, which is more convenient for us and better quality control," said a designer of a lingerie brand in Italy.

The reporter understands that in terms of labor cost, Vietnam's labor cost is only about half of that of China. In terms of pportation cost, European periphery has more advantages, for example, Turkey and Spain only need 3 days' journey, while Chinese coastal manufacturing enterprises have at least 45 days to go by sea.

Independent innovation promotes core competitiveness

As for the phenomenon that Chinese manufacturing has been increasingly "neglected", the industry has said that on the one hand, enterprises should increase their independent innovation and create their own brands. On the other hand, they should expand their marketing capabilities with the help of new platforms such as e-commerce, and get rid of the inherent mode of relying on wholesale and external markets.
