Perspective Of The Three Major Textile And Garment Industry Clusters: What Is "Busy"?

After the Spring Festival, many textile and garment industry clusters began to enter the rhythm of production preparation and after the commencement.

In WeChat's circle of friends and WeChat group, reporters feel that although the enterprises are under the pressure of the external environment, there are some helplessness in the bosses' words. However, many enterprises are also actively planning, increasing the intensity of product structure adjustment, and doing everything possible to solve the problems of insufficient orders and capital turnover.

In the spring of a year, what are the enterprises in the textile and garment industry cluster doing?

Busy plastic environment

Just after the new year's day in 2016, leaders of all levels and leaders of textile and clothing in Humen Town, Dongguan, Guangdong, gathered together to discuss Humen.

Direction of development.

All along, production and processing is the traditional advantage of Humen's textile and garment industry. At the moment, there are also some brands that are famous. But on the whole, Humen's textile and garment industry is still short board in terms of brand, creativity, design and so on.

A children's clothing brand official from Humen said that although the annual Humen fashion week and the clothing fair had received a lot of fresh information, the demand for enterprises and brands was far from being satisfied in the creative design.

According to Huang Peimin, deputy mayor of Humen Town, Humen will promote industrial pformation by strengthening the three measures of "platform, strong service and environment".

The so-called "platform", first is to promote the construction of the public service platform of Humen garment industry collaborative innovation center, take the initiative to "go out" and docking with international designers to enhance Humen.

At the same time, we will further improve the function of the major public service platforms of "Humen garment industry collaborative innovation center". Two, we will continue to run the Humen fashion week and group exhibitions.

"Strong service" will mainly start from three aspects: pushing the brand, grasping quality and promoting publicity.

"Creating the environment" is to optimize the urban environment, carry high-end industries and enhance the ability of resource allocation, so as to accelerate the agglomeration and high-speed operation of innovation elements such as science, technology, finance and talents. This will make innovation driving the initiative of Humen's development and realize the benign interaction and deep integration of the four aspects of science, technology, finance, industry and city, so as to achieve a breakthrough effect in economic restructuring and industrial pformation and upgrading.

Busy playing equipment card

Similarly, Dalang town located in Dongguan, Guangdong, facing the bottleneck of cluster development, the breakthrough of choice is "machine substitution".

Although the "machine substitution" is not new in Dalang, in order to further improve the production efficiency, Dalang is planning to introduce the Dalang town industrial robot intelligent equipment industry development plan this year, and is preparing to set up the Dalang Intelligent Equipment Manufacturing Association.

Wool weaving industry is a traditional advantageous industry in Dalang. However, the increase of production cost, especially the labor cost and the unfavorable factors of production efficiency are all restricting the further improvement of the textile industry.

Therefore, "machine substitution" plays an important role in promoting and developing Dalang's wool weaving industry, and it will also generate the most direct economic benefits.

In Dalang, manual hand-held machines used to produce only four or five units a day. Nowadays, using computer looms, one can manage about 10~12 computer looms, and the capacity can reach more than 200 units per day. Not only the production efficiency has been greatly improved, but also the labor intensity of workers has been greatly reduced, and the labor cost of enterprises has also been effectively reduced.

Someone has calculated such an account: the average efficiency of a computer loom is 2.5 times that of the traditional hand loom. If an enterprise is equipped with 1000 computer looms, it can reduce 4000 employees, and only one piece of weaving process can save nearly 80% labor cost.

However, upgrading equipment alone can not solve all the bottlenecks in the development of small and medium-sized enterprises cluster, and the high-end equipment can not make up for the shortage of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Therefore, the upgrading of hardware is still reflected in the upgrading of industrial strength.

Busy money is hard to solve

Although "machine substitution" has solved the production efficiency, it is not always for the small and medium enterprises in the industrial cluster, and hundreds of thousands of millions of equipment investment will be frequent. It may not be enough for the large capital enterprises, but for a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises mainly engaged in processing, if there is not enough financial support, they can only hope for "machine" to sigh.

In addition to "machine substitution" will bring financial pressure to small and medium enterprises, new orders after the holiday also bring troubles to many enterprises with good momentum of development.

Before the Spring Festival, a clothing company headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang realized the hundreds of square meters of office buildings in the urban area. The reason is self-evident: capital is needed.

Business owners told reporters: "in fact, not our products have no market, on the contrary, our product market is very large, but because the downstream industry's settlement cycle is relatively long, so it has been suffering from cash flow problems."

Reporters learned that with the Spring Festival production started, new orders arising from the problem of capital turnover in many textile and clothing

Enterprises still exist, but the tightening of bank credit makes it difficult for many enterprises to solve the financing problem through bank channels, which is why the above enterprises have to cash in their offices.

In this regard, many executives said frankly: whether it is a new year's order, or the equipment that needs to be imported, the fundamental problem is the problem of capital. Especially now that the financial institutions implement the tight monetary policy on the textile and garment industry, the development of enterprises has encountered a bottleneck outside the market.

If the cluster government and the relevant competent authorities can tilt the corporate finance at the policy level, or introduce the new financing platform to allow enterprises to "turn" smoothly, it will undoubtedly bring new vitality to the troubled enterprises and clusters.
