Currently, the country has entered the stage of normalized epidemic prevention and control, and the textile market is also gradually recovering. Although many spinning companies faced the crisis of production suspension and closure in the first half of 2020, there are still companies that have sufficient confidence in future development. confidence. How to gain a firm foothold in a down market and open up a “new way” of profit growth? Recently, the heads of three companies, Wuxi Yimian, Wugang Yinlong, and Zhongtai Textile, shared their corporate development strategies.
Wuxi Yimian Textile Group Co., Ltd. Chairman Zhou Yejun:
Featured yarn products are favored by customers
Wuxi Yimian is a company with a century-old history, based on high-end , win by quality. This year, the company mainly promotes green products. Modal, Tencel and Lyocell series yarns are widely welcomed by customers, and the sales volume continues to increase. In the past, there were many two-component yarn products. This year, the products are rich in variety and have their own characteristics. There are more multi-component products, such as four-component blended yarns of polyester, cotton, linen and lyocell, which are widely popular across the country. Customers from all over the world are welcome.
Classic product – pure cotton high count yarn, such as 300S, 250S, 200S and other yarns produced all year round In addition to supporting the production of high-count shirt fabrics, it has also been focused on home textile series in the past two years, supplying foreign luxury brands and domestic high-end home textile brands.
There are also some products that originally planned to cooperate with international big brands for comprehensive promotion this year, but had to be postponed due to the epidemic. The COVID-19 epidemic has had an impact on the global textile industry, and we cannot be immune to it. However, in the face of difficulties, we have made timely adjustments: First, in terms of product structure, we will produce more multi-component yarns and other specialty products; second, we will make market adjustments. , the sales focus has shifted from overseas to domestic; third, it is to do a good job in docking with terminal brands. By implementing a series of measures, we are confident in the company’s later development. The impact of the epidemic is both a challenge and an opportunity, prompting Wuxi Yimian to make breakthroughs and innovations, which enhances our ability to withstand stress.
Textile companies have always given people the impression of having a large number of workers such as “thousands of people yarn, ten thousand people cloth” in the past. Information construction can help companies improve production management efficiency. Wuxi Yimian also faces some problems in the process of informatization construction, such as how to reduce investment as much as possible to meet actual needs. Informatization has extended our hands and eyes, making the areas invisible in the past management process more transparent, making the production process more accurate and efficient. Information construction can reduce the labor burden, but information construction alone is not enough. Intelligent thinking is required to eliminate ineffective labor and improve production efficiency. Over the years, through intelligent and informatization construction, Wuxi Yimian’s employment of 10,000 spindles has been reduced year by year. However, reducing employment is not the goal. The key is to serve to improve management efficiency, thereby enhancing the company’s competitiveness.
In terms of cotton procurement, the rotation of cotton reserves has played a role in balancing cotton prices and meeting demand. During the window period before new cotton comes on the market, the rotation of reserve cotton not only meets the cotton needs of enterprises, but also balances the fluctuation of cotton prices in the market. From a business perspective, the rotation of cotton reserves has become the norm, which is helpful for companies to arrange cotton purchase needs in a planned manner, and companies can purchase according to their needs. We hope that the reserve cotton rotation in and out mechanism can be further improved and continued to advance.
Zhou Quantao, General Manager of Yinlong Group, Wugang City, Henan Province:
Continuously expand the market to ensure full production
Yinlong Group is the largest private textile enterprise in Henan Province. The company needs more than 90,000 tons of cotton every year, and 80% of the raw materials are Xinjiang cotton. 20% is imported cotton. The existing production scale is 600,000 spindles, the total assets of the company are 3 billion yuan, the company has nearly 3,000 employees, and the annual output is more than 60,000 tons of high-grade cotton yarn. The group’s products are mainly high-count and high-end pure cotton compact spinning yarn. It mainly produces four categories of products: yarn for high-end shirt fabrics, yarn for casual clothing fabrics, yarn for knitting, and high-end yarn for home textiles. The products are sold to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong , Shanghai, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places.
Currently, we have the world’s most advanced spinning production lines and advanced testing equipment. The company is currently promoting intelligent workshop technology The implementation of the upgrade project requires a project investment of 60 million yuan and a construction period of 2 years. After it is fully put into production, it is expected to increase sales revenue by 10 million yuan, and is expected to increase production efficiency by 10%.
The production scale and output determine that the group must have a timely supply of a large amount of production raw materials and packaging materials every day. After the outbreak, companies faced a crisis of shortage of production raw materials. The government opened a green channel for our company to solve problems such as the supply of raw materials, packaging and product transportation, effectively helping companies ensure the healthy operation of the upstream and downstream supply chains.
With the support of the government, we have withstood the impact of the epidemic by focusing on product quality and research and development. Even though the operating rate of the industry is relatively low, we continue to explore the market and ensure full production by adjusting the product structure.� To ensure that employees’ income does not decrease, the company is currently actively recruiting new employees. Generally speaking, because the company has a wide range of products and has long-term suppliers, the epidemic has not had a major impact on the production of our company. It has a greater impact on textile companies that focus on export orders of high-count yarns.
Shen Yaohua, deputy general manager of Zhongtai Textile Group:
Improving products The production line is ready to supply raw materials
Zhongtai Textile Group has an annual output of 3.5 million tons of viscose yarn. The spinning processes include ring spinning, open-end spinning, vortex spinning, and siro compact spinning. etc., in addition to conventional products, this year we will focus on launching Siro compact 60S and 80S yarns produced in Xinjiang. Originally, I thought Xinjiang had a single raw material and could not necessarily produce high-count yarns. However, through our efforts and continuous improvement of quality, we can achieve Siro compact spinning 60S, 80S, and 110S. In addition, we are also jointly developing with downstream companies to produce some environmentally friendly and antibacterial yarns, which are being promoted.
Although Zhongtai Group focuses on raw materials and mainly produces viscose yarn, it also makes efforts in other fields and is committed to providing Xinjiang’s downstream textile and garment enterprises will provide raw materials. Because the main spinning raw materials in Xinjiang are cotton and viscose, the production of yarn using these two raw materials alone has limitations for downstream garment production applications. Therefore, we have also put into operation a 1.2 million-ton PTA production line, so that Xinjiang’s textile and garment industry The chain will be more complete in the future.
Xinjiang is located in the core area of the Belt and Road Initiative. Many of the staple fibers and yarns we produce are transported to Central Asia and Europe. There are special trains between China and Europe. Can reach customers in various countries directly.
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic has caused sluggish downstream demand, which has caused problems in production and sales. However, through good product development and docking with downstream customers, our products have been launched since April. Achieved 100% production and sales rate.
For downstream customers who have a backlog of fabrics due to the cancellation of foreign orders, we also help them digest fabrics, try our best to transfer foreign trade to domestic demand, and help customers solve their problems. Our company is full of confidence in the future. The current domestic textile market demand is recovering. Zhongtai’s products will not only continue to produce and sell well, but profits will also continue to rebound. </p
