Nantong Textile: Boost confidence to welcome the turnaround
The country has recently launched 10 major industrial revitalization plans, which will have a profound impact on related industries in Nantong, especially textile, light industry, shipbuilding, electronic information, and equipment manufacturing. Our reporter interviewed authoritative experts, functional departments, and relevant enterprises, and made preliminary thoughts based on Nantong’s reality and prospects. Starting today, this newspaper will launch 5 special articles, so stay tuned.
On the first day of spring in the Year of the Ox, the textile and garment industry in the “cold winter” finally felt a strong sense of warmth. The State Council executive meeting reviewed and approved in principle the textile industry adjustment and revitalization plan. At this time, the workshop of Haian Xinyuan Cocoon Silk Group is a busy scene. The production lines of silk clothing and home textile products have been working overtime, and export orders and domestic sales demand are both increasing.
After hearing the news from Beijing, Chu Chengping, chairman of Xinyuan Group, thought it was “expected.” Xinyuan started early from the key points of “coordinating the international and domestic markets, technological transformation and independent brand building” mentioned in the plan, and was able to calmly respond to the financial crisis. “The plan is a long-term benefit to the textile industry and strengthens the confidence of enterprises to increase investment.”
Happy encounter with rain brings confidence
“Credit support, increased tax rebates, guarantee support, optimized layout and other measures cover a wide range of areas, and the entire textile and garment industry can benefit from them regardless of the size of the company.” At the end of February and early March, Yang Donghui, vice president of the China Textile Industry Association, frequently Come here to cheer up and encourage the small and medium-sized enterprises in this old textile base. In his view, the revitalization plan combines the overall consideration of solving the current difficulties of the industry with promoting the long-term development of the industry, and has positive practical significance for promoting economic recovery, stimulating consumption, ensuring employment, and maintaining stability.
These days, Wang Xin, chairman of Nantong Yilin Knitted Garment Co., Ltd., is getting angry over the temporary withdrawal of orders. “All the clothing fabrics required for foreign customers’ orders were ready for proofing, and the other party suddenly said that only half of them were needed.” The backlog of fabrics was tight. Fortunately, the export tax rebate rate was increased from 14% to 15% starting from February 1. This solved Wang Xin’s urgent need. “Although 1 percentage point is not much, it sends a signal and confidence.” According to statistics from the Municipal Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau, a 1 percentage point increase in the textile and clothing export tax rebate rate will bring about a net profit of 135 million yuan to our city’s textile and clothing enterprises. Since last year, the country’s support policies for the textile industry have come one after another, making enterprises feel the strength and warmth.
The textile industry has always been considered a labor-intensive industry and a sunset industry. This time, the textile industry adjustment and revitalization plan clearly stated: “The textile industry is a traditional pillar industry of my country’s national economy and an important people’s livelihood industry.” Shi Huangbin, deputy director of the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission, was very excited about this proposal. He said that from cotton to fabrics, and from fabrics to clothing, no industry has such a long industrial chain and can absorb so many jobs. The textile industry is a traditional pillar industry in our city. The total output value of textile enterprises above designated size accounts for about one-third of the city’s industrial economy. There are more than 10,000 enterprises and about 200,000 employees. The total number of employees in the textile industry chain is estimated to be 400,000. about. Shi Huangbin said with emotion: “Textile is Nantong’s mother industry, a stable people’s livelihood industry; it is also Nantong’s internationally competitive advantageous industry and the main source of export earnings. The policy is a weather vane, indicating that the country attaches great importance to the textile industry. In this situation Against this background, if local governments provide support and guidance, and entrepreneurs identify the direction and seize opportunities, they will surely be able to survive the winter.”
On the desk of Zuo Chengqin, chairman of Jiangsu Dasheng Group, is an internal draft of the Jiangsu Province Textile Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan. “The plan puts forward the requirement to accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity, which is good for us.” Dasheng Group, as a state-owned enterprise, has merged and reorganized some enterprises in difficulty in recent years. Zuo Chengqin said: “The plan proposes to provide preferential support to advantageous and key enterprises that are in difficulty in mergers and reorganizations, which is undoubtedly a full affirmation of our work. With the strong support of the government, we will definitely be able to overcome difficulties, turn pressure into motivation, and continue for another hundred years.” The glory of Dasheng.”
Seize the opportunity to practice internal skills
Nantong textile companies generally say that the country attaches so much importance to the textile industry, which gives the textile industry reason to believe that the ice and snow in the textile industry, which has been in winter for a long time, will eventually melt. According to the revitalization plan, they are actively adjusting the industrial structure, exploring domestic and international markets, and welcoming the “spring blossoms” again.
Golden Sun Home Textiles joins hands with Shanghai Zhonglun Textile Company to apply Lisey fiber, known as “plant cashmere”, to the bedding market; after Ziyang Home Textiles developed its own patented sandwich composite mat, it also focuses on rattan and wool bedding-like products to achieve differentiated operations; Stefor Home Textiles aims at high-star hotels to become more refined and specialized, with sales rising by 30% against the market… In the midst of a cold economic winter, Nantong’s home textile industry has repeatedly shown signs of spring. “An inch long is not as strong as an inch, and an inch strong is not as special as an inch.” Xu Jian, chairman of Ziyang Home Textiles, understands the revitalization plan as: each enterprise should make its own core products, and enterprises should cooperate with each other.Integrate and group together to reduce costs and maximize advantages through order distribution. As the vice president and secretary-general of the Nantong Home Textile Chamber of Commerce, Xu Jian is even more optimistic about the prospects of the entire industry: “Under the new situation, by combining high and new technologies through reasonable mechanisms and already formed large-scale industrial clusters, our city’s home textile industry will Create new glory.”
The country has pointed out the direction for the revitalization of the textile industry, which must focus on independent innovation, technological transformation, elimination of backwardness, and optimized layout to promote structural adjustment and industrial upgrading. Shi Huangbin calls textile companies every day to understand the current business situation, and kindly reminds them to study the national plan, adjust the development direction of the company, seize the time to obtain support from national policies, accelerate the pace of adjustment and reorganization, and make the company “big” and “big”. “powerful”. “‘Big’ does not mean blindly pursuing large scale, but striving for a large market share; ‘strong’ refers not only to excellent capital, but also to strong market competitiveness of products.” This is what Shi Huangbin particularly emphasized.
Then, how can textile enterprises follow the trend, go against the trend, and with the support of national policies, find “opportunities” in “crisis” and achieve a real breakthrough? The answer given by Chu Chengping is: practice your internal management skills, increase the added value of your products, and create enough brand articles. Xinyuan Group strives to promote the industrialization of natural colored cocoons, develop functional silk clothing and home textile products, and seize the commanding heights of the market with new and high-tech products.
In order to understand the preferential import tax policies for textile machinery-related equipment, Wang Xin made a special trip to the tax bureau. He said that the reduction in foreign trade orders has freed up time to introduce high-end textile equipment and upgrade clothing from the existing mid-range to high-end. “Now we seize the time to introduce equipment and train employees. When the external market starts to pick up, we will be able to come up with excellent products that no one else has and that we have.” Wang Xin calculated this way: “With excellent quality, foreign customers will We can no longer dwell on the price war.”
The newly expanded 30,000-square-meter standard factory building of Nantong Comfort Textile Co., Ltd. has been topped out. As the largest weaving enterprise in the home textile industry in our province, Comfort insists on intensive cultivation in the upstream of the industrial chain. “For the same gray fabric, we are 0.2 yuan/meter higher than our peers, and the supply exceeds demand.” Financial Director Ma Qin proudly told reporters: “The textile revitalization plan provides a reliable backing for enterprises to strengthen technical transformation. Since last year, nearly 100% of the investment in technical transformation has exceeded the supply.” Ten million yuan was spent to introduce the first-class domestic seven-unit double sizing tank sizing machine.”
“The guiding hand of government departments should shift from focusing on industrial agglomeration to focusing on the layout of the internal industrial chain, and encourage key enterprises and investors to extend to weak links in the industrial chain.” Shi Huangbin suggested that the Nantong textile industry chain should be changed “horizontally” “Excessive development but insufficient vertical development” short leg is committed to creating a textile and apparel development carrier with obvious scale advantages, outstanding industrial characteristics and a complete industrial chain.
Looking forward to the early release of detailed rules
Different enterprises, due to their different production and operation situations, have different concerns about various policies in the textile revitalization plan. During the interview, some companies hope that credit guarantees and financing channels will be unimpeded, some companies urgently need special financial support as soon as possible, and others hope to further reduce their burdens in terms of taxes and other aspects. They have a common voice, that is, they hope that the policy will be implemented as soon as possible and that supporting policies will be stepped up to keep up.
“The plan mainly proposes some long-term development goals. As for the support measures that will be taken to achieve the goals, when and how they will be implemented, companies are still confused.” Zhang Pu, chairman of Jiangsu Sanyou, called on us to avoid ” The situation of “big thunder but little rain” has occurred, allowing support policies to truly provide enterprises with help in times of crisis.
Wang Xinwei is concerned about whether the export tax rebate can be increased by two percentage points again, returning to the 17% level in 2001. “This is direct, effective and immediate assistance for textile companies to solve the current operating difficulties.” Wang Xin believes: “It is also a very effective incentive for companies to actively expand exports to earn foreign exchange.”
“Many banks have listed textile companies as a category with restricted loans, and it is difficult to obtain working capital provided by banks.” Ma Qin hopes that financial institutions will cooperate with the revitalization plan to lower the loan threshold and make objective decisions after in-depth research on the production and operation of enterprises. A correct evaluation determines whether to lend or not. Shi Huangbin said frankly that the difficulty in loan guarantee financing is a major difficulty encountered by the textile industry at present, and suggested that emergency financial support be provided to key textile enterprises.
“The actual implementation of the plan will not only take time, but also require a lot of work from the local government. We are starting to carry out the docking work of the plan and strive to squeeze Nantong’s characteristic and advantageous enterprises into the corresponding supporting supporting policies.” Shi Huangbin also reminded enterprises. , The revitalization plan cannot achieve short-term results, nor is it a panacea. Only through the efforts of enterprises themselves can external policies play a fundamental role. (Apparel Times)
