Part Of The Production Activities Of Designers And Retailers In American Apparel Companies Have Moved Back To The United States.

< p > American media said that there is only a small but increasing number of < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a > a target= "_blank" href= "target=" > designers and retailers have moved part of their production activities back to the United States.

The reasons cited by these companies include the increase in labor costs, poor quality and long lead time in China.

In the past few years, big brands like Booker brothers and sacks and dozens of other small businesses have moved some of their production activities from other countries to the United States, creating about 1000 jobs. P

< /p >

< p > reported that this figure is negligible compared with the 800 thousand jobs lost to foreign garment factories since 1990.

However, it has increased the hope that although the garment manufacturing industry is still a labor-intensive industry, American manufacturers are still facing fierce competition from low wage countries in Asia and other regions, but these trends may be enhanced.

The wages of P factories in Asia are increasing rapidly, and American consumers are willing to spend more money on products made in the United States.

< p > Booker brothers bought a factory in black Friel, Massachusetts, 5 years ago and pferred 70% of its suit production business there.

The number of workers in the factory increased from 300 to 475 a few years ago.

The company also moved back to the production of shirts, coats and trousers.

Wages in China used to be equivalent to 1/6 in the US, now 1/3 to 1/5.

John Martinez, who is in charge of domestic production, said: "we feel that this is the trend of the future - manufacturing activities are taking place in the United States". P

He said that if a style began to prevail, American factories would be able to deliver the goods in two weeks, while foreign factories could only deliver them in 7 weeks.

Making garments in the United States has also promoted the rapidly growing international business of Booker brothers.

"The rest of the world sees American products as luxury goods," he said.

Dov Shalme, chief executive of the company, said that since last year, as designers and retailers moved back to production activities, the company has increased about 100 employees in Losangeles's factories.

Margaret Bishop, an industry consultant at P Fashion Technology Institute, said most clothing brands and retailers are considering moving back.

She estimates that as many as 200 thousand garment manufacturing jobs will return to the United States in the next 10 years.

< /p >

< p > others are more cautious.

Michel Glockler, vice president of WAL-MART department store, said that the company is committed to increase the purchase of US $50 billion products in the next 10 years. Clothing is one of them.

However, she said that because the manufacturing costs of other countries are relatively low, the clothing made in the United States will be one of the least profitable categories of WAL-MART's plan.

< /p >

< p > however, some small brands have already tasted the sweetness.

A few years ago, the School House company, which produced high-end clothing for college students, began to delay delivery 1 to 3 months on a regular basis in Sri Lanka.

Rachel Weeks, chief executive of the company, said: "this kind of thing may cause us no business to do."

< /p >

In 2011, Weekes handed over all production operations to US contractors. P

She said she could save 5000 dollars a month, in addition to the delay in delivery.

This is the cost of hiring staff to monitor Sri Lanka's production activities.

When the new T-shirt suddenly became popular, she could increase the supply in a few days.

Although the cost of labour in Sri Lanka is still relatively low, she said that today's profit margin is 35% - 40%, and the original profit margin is about 22%.
