Wenzhou'S Synthetic Leather Industry Goes Through The Cold Winter.

If the synthetic leather enterprises in Wenzhou used to expand their markets alone, the synthetic leather industry today is a model of close integration. The path of joint industry is a wise move made by Wenzhou synthetic leather in a complex economic and cold winter environment. In 2008, the pressure of manufacturers in synthetic leather industry increased. Last year, the synthetic leather industry in Wenzhou encountered the most difficulties. In the first half of the year, the state's macroeconomic regulation and control was tight, the continuous rise in prices of raw materials and energy, the increase in labor costs, the sharp increase in environmental protection facilities investment and operation costs, and the oversupply of products, led some enterprises to bargain with each other, and many enterprises appeared inadequate work. In the second half of this year, due to the impact of the international financial turmoil, orders for many enterprises are decreasing, and some enterprises have halt production or even stop production. Although the export of synthetic leather in Wenzhou still maintained a good growth momentum last year, the export amount of synthetic leather reached more than 2.81 billion US dollars, an increase of 21% over the same period last year. However, due to the serious impact of the international exchange rate, the burden on enterprises is becoming heavier and heavier. It is understood that in the synthetic leather industry, many enterprises have had joint ideas in the past few years, but failed for various reasons. In the current economic situation, enterprises' demand for union has become more urgent. Enterprises in the industry are more concerned about the scale effect than ever. Through the establishment of a modern factory building, the cost can be greatly reduced and the competitiveness will be promoted. The Wenzhou synthetic leather industry is facing a new shuffle, which is the best time to promote the reorganization of enterprises. The synthetic leather industry began to think about how to act. In October 2008, Wenge, min Feng, Zhengda, Wuzhou, Longxing, Longyue and strong Feng 7 enterprises first proposed the formation of the group. Then, in November, there were 11 enterprises in Longwan District, including Hong Deli, Huadu, Wulong, Xinhua and so on. Not long ago, 10 enterprises such as Ondali and Asian exhibition in the Wenzhou economic development zone were also planning for the intention to integrate into a new group. Many small businesses are also looking for ways to integrate. After the Lantern Festival this year, news came again that the "two big groups" became "four big groups" and the affiliated enterprises expanded from 18 to 43. According to the information of the Wenzhou synthetic leather chamber, the group of 10 enterprises led by Wenzhou synthetic leather Co., Ltd. is called "Zhong Wang"; the group of 11 enterprises led by Wenzhou Hong Deli synthetic leather Co., Ltd. is called "China Leather"; the group of 12 enterprises led by Wenzhou long life synthetic Leather Co., Ltd. is called "Xinyuan"; Wenzhou yongdali synthetic leather is limited. The group formed by 10 companies led by the company has not yet been formally identified. Now, the road of enterprise integration has been developing vigorously in the synthetic leather industry in Wenzhou. "It is said that fifth groups of schemes have emerged." Zhang Weiyi, chairman of Wenzhou Tian Niu Ren Leather Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Zheng Guochun, President of the Wenzhou synthetic leather chamber of Commerce, believes that this is the only way to promote industrial upgrading. Environmental protection is still the key to the adoption of the reorganization plan. However, the reorganization and reorganization of enterprises is by no means an easy task. This involves the interests of all parties, the difference of cultural concepts, the impact of social environment on enterprises, and so on. It is not a simple 1 plus 1 equals 2 proposition. The industry also said that the road of integration is the way for the future industry, but there should be a long-term plan. The Wenzhou synthetic leather industry is still facing the dilemma of removing the hat of "municipal environmental protection zone". In October last year, the Wenzhou synthetic leather chamber of Commerce set up a self inspection and self correction propaganda team for environmental protection work. In the three months, 32 activities were conducted and 150 enterprises were inspected. 56 problems were found in different degrees. Pollution control needs to be strengthened. In Zheng Guochun's view, the key to the success of integration and reorganization lies in whether the responsible person in charge of the reorganization is "whether environmental awareness goes through the border", which determines the final direction of industrial development.
