Vietnam Calls For China To Seize The Title Of Manufacturing Power

In a Adidas store, reporters found that Vietnam made more and more.

Analysts believe that the increase in input costs is one reason Adidas shut down the Suzhou plant.

According to Adidas's official statement, apart from the factory directly under way, there are still more than 300 factories in the country that are still producing Adidas products.

Prior to that, it also closed its presence in China.

At present, the number of Vietnamese made Nike shoes has exceeded the "made in China" factory.

Yesterday, Adidas group commissioned the Ogilvy public relations company to confirm to the West China Metropolis Daily reporter that "Adidas will close its only own factory in China later this year" because of the strategy of re integrating global resources.

At the same time, Adidas also has more than 300 foundries in China to work together. "

At 10:30 pm yesterday, Adidas also issued a statement that the factory in Suzhou will be closed, "it is true, but it has not pferred the factory to any other place".

It is reported that Adidas China is a wholly owned subsidiary of Adidas group 100%. It has registered and opened production base in Suzhou. Its trade headquarters is located in Shanghai, with branches in Beijing and Guangzhou, and Suzhou plant is also its only own factory in China.

Question 1 the production base is pferred to Southeast Asia?

It is understood that Adidas Suzhou factory has 160 employees, the affected factory workers will receive normal wages and higher than the international standard of compensation.

A statement from Adidas yesterday night said that the closure of Suzhou's factory was due to a strategic consideration of reintegrating global resources, a strategy that would help Adidas better play its scale effect and reduce complexity.

Whether Adidas's production base will move to cheaper Southeast Asia? Adidas did not give an exact reply.

Analysts believe that the increased cost is one of the reasons why it closed the Suzhou plant and found a cheaper production base.

Yesterday, the West China Metropolis Daily reporter went to Chunxi Road Adidas stores to investigate and found that the products made in China are still the mainstream, but Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Turkey and other places are also manufacturing a lot of products.

The production base of Adidas was first in Europe, then pferred to Japan, followed by Korea and Taiwan, China, followed by mainland China.

Now it will be pferred to Kampuchea, Vietnam, Bangladesh and other countries.

Nike has also experienced the pfer of such industries.

3 years ago, Nike closed the only shoe factory in China.

Reporters visited Nike stores yesterday and found that their products were distributed in China, Vietnam, Malaysia and Sri Lanka.

Question 2 will other generation factories be affected?

It is understood that 50% of Adidas's products are made in China, in addition to a factory directly under way. At present, there are more than 300 foundries in the country that are still producing Adidas products. The reporters found that the manufacturers mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta region.

The closure of the factory directly under the Suzhou, Adidas's official statement also specifically put forward that "China also has more than 300 generations of factories to work together", the speech conveyed the representative factory will not change signals.

However, Li Peng, Secretary General of the Asian Association, believes that if Adidas reduces production lines on a large scale, it will have great impact on the foundry and supporting facilities. It will be difficult for many foundries to survive independently under the influence of the integrity of the technological process. Under such circumstances, if the factories still want to rely on the survival of Adidas and other enterprises, they must go to Southeast Asia.

Reporters learned that, in the more than 300 factories for Adidas OEM, Taiwan Yuyuan group accounted for a large share of the order, and many factories in mainland China, specially for Adidas and other OEM, but this enterprise has begun large-scale pfer to Southeast Asia in recent years, and factories in mainland China have begun to shift from coastal areas to low cost labor areas in the mainland.

Question 3 why is there no Adidas factory in Sichuan?

Are there any enterprises in Sichuan and Chengdu in Adidas's foundries? Yesterday, the staff of the Sichuan clothing (apparel) Industry Association told the Huaxi Metropolis Daily that the more than 400 member enterprises of the association did not produce Adidas products.

Peng Jun, chairman of the western footwear capital, also revealed that Chengdu shoe factory is mainly production, and there is no Nike foundry.
