How Can It Be Fashionable And Professional? Wool Textile Enterprises Reach A Consensus With Garment Enterprises.

Over the years, woolen fabrics are soft, bright and restorative. They are made of ready-made garments and are of high thermal insulation. They are very popular with apparel manufacturers. However, with the development of the industry and the evolution of fashion, higher requirements for the grade and functionality of the woolen fabrics have been put forward. How to meet the design requirements of downstream assembly enterprises has become the focus of R & D of raw materials enterprises. It was held a few days ago. Research on salon activities for textile accessories On the above, the wool textile raw material enterprises and downstream clothing enterprises docking, launched a deep dialogue between supply and demand.

Starting from customer needs

"China's woolen fabrics are mainly supplied to domestic garment processing, a large share of which is the matching business, which provides a large number of stable orders for the processing of wool fabrics, and strongly supports the stable development of the woolen fabric industry." Peng Yanli, director of science and Technology Development Department of China Federation of textile industry and chairman of China Wool Textile Association Express. In 2018, the annual output of China's wool fabrics was 440 million meters, and its export volume reached 97 million 400 thousand meters. It is the largest processing center of wool textile products in the world. 。 After years of development, China's wool textile industry is leading in processing, capable of processing various levels of products and developing capabilities, but there are also problems such as market orientation is not very clear. Therefore, focusing on demand and focusing on the development of high-end products will be the next direction for the development of textile equipment.

In recent years, with the development of the industry, the functional requirements of the tooling, especially the health requirements, are getting higher and higher. Wool itself has many characteristics, such as wrinkle resistance and some natural properties. Nowadays, wool fabrics and even blended fabrics are required to have flame-retardant function.

"As far as I know, the clothes worn by policemen in France are flame-retardant. In addition to flame retardancy, antibacterial properties are also in the demand of customers. We have met some customers, because they will deal with some unexpected situations on site, so they must have flame retardant function. We must take these requirements into consideration when choosing fabrics. As a matter of fact, raw materials enterprises have a better idea of the functions and performance of their fabrics than we do. Our downstream businesses can only conduct a general assessment of the requirements of customers. As to whether these requirements can be achieved, how long it will take and what scale to achieve, we do not have the bottom line in mind. Therefore, we hope to communicate with the R & D personnel of fabric enterprises for some data, some experience, or what kind of critical value can be achieved in practical operation, and find a practical combination point, so as to create excellent products. A clothing company official said.

Accumulation and speed are equally important.

At present, according to the research and development projects, tooling enterprises will make some requests to fabric enterprises. According to these requirements, clothing enterprises first need to find materials that meet the requirements. Once the market is not available, they need fabric enterprises to research and develop, but are constrained by manpower, material resources and other constraints. Sometimes the process of manufacturing is longer. Therefore, garment enterprises are very passive between the raw material enterprises and the customer enterprises. "We have a project which released the demand to a fabric enterprise in the early May. The result is that the samples have not been worked out yet, and the time dragged on, we are very passive, so we hope that the fabric enterprises can accumulate more frequently, and can produce products according to the needs, and more importantly, the speed of coordination must be fast." A person in charge of tooling business said.

" Whether it is raw material enterprises or downstream garment enterprises, the accumulation is very important. For example, the test and data of wool spinning ratio will be very competitive. 。 Some enterprises can quickly calculate the matching value, including strength, wear resistance index and so on, which can measure a lot of data and accumulate. When the user wants to make products that want style, comfort and effect, these enterprises can react quickly, and some enterprises are likely to miss the opportunity because of too few varieties. Man Xiangdong, chief engineer of Limited by Share Ltd Research Institute Say.

Zheng Wenxiao, Vice Minister of marketing Said: "at present, our work is mainly divided into task level and R & D level, R & D tasks will be slower, but task level must be trained to respond quickly. It is impossible for us to understand the needs of every customer in advance and get information in advance. Therefore, we need fabric companies to cooperate with us. After receiving the information, we first need to produce fabrics that can meet the needs and help us make samples.

"At present, we have the demand of" short frequency and quick "in woolen fabrics. For example, for a tender project, from obtaining market information, to bidding and proofing, it is basically 20 days ~50 days, and this duty level demand accounts for 80% of our business. We need to find suitable fabrics, make samples and complete testing reports in 20 days. This speed and high demand force wool textile enterprises to exercise quick reaction ability. In fact, this work is very urgent at the moment. Zheng Wenxiao said.

In the future, the core competitiveness of textile enterprises is fast. Customers are concerned about achieving cooperation as soon as possible, forming orders, and making enterprises more competitive.

Effective communication between upstream and downstream communication

At present, many tooling designers reflect that customer enterprises pay more and more attention to the culture and characteristics of enterprises, and hope that employees will feel proud of going out in their clothes. The demand for tooling is getting higher and higher, which is a challenge for fabric enterprises and garment enterprises. Only when we have an in-depth understanding of corporate culture and needs can we implement the abstract concept, which requires effective communication between upstream and downstream.

"Downstream clothing enterprises can roughly sort out a directory, fabric enterprises according to the directory, can be targeted for R & D." Peng Yanli put forward pertinent suggestions.

A designer who has been working on tooling design for many years said: "when we communicate with suppliers, we often encounter such a problem: the supplier will ask, is that so? In fact, he is asking us for proof. This is because the requirements we describe are not the information they want, or we are not describing them clearly enough. Based on this, we hope that the R & D personnel of fabric enterprises and our R & D personnel can cooperate more closely. As downstream enterprises, we really want to know the situation of fabrics in R & D. We can get some inspiration from these situations. In fact, product development and product design are closely related to materials, and sometimes the inspiration of design comes from materials. As a designer, you can find inspiration and fit from fabric. Nowadays, most of the woolen fabrics we use are blended, because the blended fabrics are more plastic. Another point worth noting is that In some designs, wool like fabric is used. In my opinion, the function of wool like fabric can be achieved even more than that of blended products. I think wool like fabric has a very wide application space. "
