Textile And Apparel Industry In The United States Favors High Value-Added Manufacturing

Mike Flanagan Flanagan, chief executive of clothing industry consulting company, said: "some of the high-end manufacturing companies in the United States are moving their production lines back to the mainland. Even some powerful overseas buyers are complying with this trend. For example, China's Cole group and India Shrivallabh Pittie textile group wait for the us to invest and build factories in P."

People will see more and more advanced yarns, garments and other products made of raw materials in the United States.

Mike believes that whether it is textile and garment industry or other manufacturing industries, reflux is destined to be a trend, but not all products and enterprises are suitable for reflux, which depends on the value of production products.

Only high-end products with higher added value and enterprises capable of producing such products will be profitable in the return tide.

Last October, Buehler Quality Yarns, an American cotton textile enterprise, visited the Chinese market and approached 6 Chinese factories. P

However, at the beginning of this year, the company announced that it would invest in and cooperate with factories in the US instead of Chinese factories.

< p > > David Sasso Sasso, vice president of the company's sales department, said: "no investment in Asia but in the US is not based on cost considerations, but because we need to produce high-end products in the future, so the stability of product quality is very important." (David)

I think partners and enterprises must have the same ideas and principles in business, so as to maintain cooperative relations.

We firmly believe that American manufacturers can better control product quality and customer needs, which is the meaning of "made in America" logo.

Similarly, last year, the a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > cotton yarn < /a > factory in North Carolina shifted the focus of production to the US in P.

At present, the company has 2 branches in China, 3 in Mexico, and 7 in the United States, accounting for 83.3% of the total business in North America.

Jeff Peck, general manager of the company, said: "reflux is obviously a trend. There are many positive factors that encourage American enterprises to go home." Jeff Peck said.

For example, from the cotton price, the price of cotton in China is 1.28 dollars per pound, while the price in the United States is between 0.75 and 0.85 dollars.

Many people think that the cost of labor in the United States is high, but the cost of labor can not only look at the wages of workers, but also the efficiency of workers per hour, the quality of finished products and the rework rate.

Taking all these factors into consideration, I do not think that the cost of manufacturing in the US is much higher than that in Asian countries. If it is to produce higher quality products, even higher is worth it.

Nevertheless, there is no need to move all manufacturing industries back to the United States.

After all, the cost of working hours for American workers is high, the US is strict with environmental standards, and enterprises need to pay higher cost in environmental protection.

For products with low added value, moving back to the US will only increase costs and reduce profits, which is not cost-effective.

Therefore, only high-end products are worth returning.

< p > no matter whether the US enterprises return or Chinese and India enterprises invest in the United States, they are driven by the purchasing needs of buyers.

"In this era, enterprises will not invest arbitrarily without seeing returns.

Manufacturing enterprises are very sensitive to cost and price. In addition to cotton prices, in all respects, the price in the Western Hemisphere is higher than that in the eastern hemisphere represented by Asia. So why are there so many manufacturers returning? This is because some American buyers have conveyed a message to manufacturers: "back to the United States, I will buy more products".

It is precisely because of this interest drive that enterprises will return in succession.

David Dave, vice president of Sales Department of Buller quality yarn, believes that buyers play an important role in promoting the return of manufacturing enterprises.

Less than P, WAL-MART made it clear that it would like to buy more products in the US.

WAL-MART chief executive Doug Macmillan (Doug McMillon) said: "we have been committed to selling more local brands. If we can buy in the United States, the rapid response to market demand will be more favorable.

First of all, because the labels made in the United States can improve the added value of products to a certain extent, secondly, distance advantage will shorten the operation cycle of goods, and only need 1~3 weeks to update products on our shelves.

Fast turnover means that buyers can adjust their products according to the market at any time. On the one hand, they reduce the risk of inventory. On the other hand, buyers also have more disposable liquidity.

Mike Todla Todaro, Mike manager of apparel manufacturers in the United States, said: "according to our survey conducted by senior purchasing managers, the profit gap between the top garments in the East and the west is gradually narrowing, so there will be more and more high-end retailers buying in the US."

The survey included clothing suppliers' understanding of the US market, market reaction speed, cost, ease of business, product development capability, social responsibility and environmental sustainability.

He added: "purchasing executives say that" made in the United States "is faster, more stable, better and, of course, more expensive.

In the reflux process, only high-end brands and high value-added products may be of greater benefit. "
