Regain competitiveness.

The reason is: a large number of imported machinery, the implementation of "machine substitutions"

1~2 month, Wenzhou machinery and equipment imported 125 million yuan, up 1.34 times.

Among them, the import volume of shoemaking equipment was the largest, up 45.88%.

Imports of textile machinery and equipment also increased significantly over the same period last year.

Lucheng District Business Bureau responsible person said that after two years of "machine substitution", the quality of Wenzhou shoes has been improved rapidly, and the cost has not risen with the rise in labor costs, which has become an important reason for Wenzhou shoes regaining competitiveness.

"Last year, we invested a total of 18 million yuan for technical pformation."

Pan Jianzhong, general manager of giant group, revealed.

Last year, the company invested 3 times its technological pformation, and a lot of money was spent on the purchase of imported shoe making equipment. The level of shoe making mechanization has reached about 30%. Next, they will invest more in making the mechanization of shoemaking to achieve the level of mechanization in western shoe making enterprises.

In the production workshop of gigantic group, the reporter saw that a modern equipment was running, and the workers were operating on the computer program.

According to the workers, the effect of laser equipment is increased by 5 times.

According to statistics of giant group, three years ago, the company recruited 8000 workers every year. After the Spring Festival started, it was afraid that not enough workers could be recruited. This year, only 5000 people could be recruited.

"There is no difference in quality between products that are cut and cut by laser equipment, and the styles of shoes are more complicated."

Pan Jianzhong said.

The fancy and perforation of the upper can be produced by the original handwork. Because of the different technical level of each worker, different batches of shoes will have different quality, and some complex upper style can not be manufactured manually.

Pan Jianzhong revealed that after the company changed the machine, more European and American customers came to order. This year, the company's order has been arranged for October, and now the company has made preparations for next year's production.
