In the past week,
Countless textile workers were walking on the edge of a knife.
The price of raw dyes has increased without a bottom line. ,
Printing and dyeing companies have stopped production due to restrictions,
The weaving market in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is under pressure again,
For Boss Bu,
This hot summer is colder than winter!
Order received in the morning,
There will be no profit at noon,
Already a loss in the afternoon!
The “war of raw materials” cannot be avoided or provoked!
“The recent textile market can be described as unbelievable!” Mr. Zhang, a cloth trader in Shengze Yidan, lamented: “The price of raw materials can no longer be used. There are no words to describe it. Let’s not talk about the past two days, but just yesterday afternoon, a second price increase was announced. The orders received in the morning had no profit at noon, and they had already lost money by the afternoon!”
In recent months, the prices of textile raw materials such as PTA, including ethylene glycol, polyester bottle flakes, polyester chips, polyester filament, etc. have continued to rise. Mainstream manufacturers have continued to report price increases, limited quantities, The news of the closure caused textile bosses to be “panicked”. According to statistics, in the past month, the average price of polyester FDY150D has increased from 9,550 yuan/ton to 10,600 yuan/ton; the average price of polyester DTY150D has increased from 10,850 yuan/ton to 11,950 yuan/ton; and the average price of polyester POY150D has increased from 9,250 yuan/ton. to 10,450 yuan/ton, an increase of more than a thousand yuan.
This is for weaving manufacturers that are not originally very profitable. It is “making matters worse”. “Now the profit of one of our looms is around 50 yuan, which has shrunk by half compared to July! The price of raw materials has increased, but the price of our gray fabrics has not increased yet! If the price increases again, it will increase a little, but the extent will not be too big. , because customers can’t accept it!” said Mr. Bao, who has moved the loom to northern Jiangsu.
Compared to the owners of textile mills who still have the right to raise prices due to low inventory, recent traders are even more miserable! “Most of the orders I’m doing now are at prices that were finalized a month ago. No one thought that the price of raw materials would rise like this in the off-season. Now I only quote new orders for the time being, and I don’t dare to take orders that are already being made. We can only find ways to communicate with customers, but it is estimated that we will have to bear the losses ourselves. This year’s orders are too difficult to make!” said Mr. Wu, who has been engaged in women’s clothing fabric trade all year round.
The antimony concentration exceeds the standard,
Starting from August 4th,
printing and dyeing companies will stop discharging pollutants!
Will the dyeing factory delivery date issue be raised again? !
The tragedy of raw materials has not yet made the textile people recover. Last weekend, there was news in the market that the antimony concentration exceeded the standard, and related printing and dyeing companies and sewage treatment plants stopped discharging sewage. Notification letter!
The notification letter requires: Starting from August 4, Wujiang Taoyuan Sewage Treatment Plant, Wujiang Keou Sewage Treatment Co., Ltd., Wujiang Taoyuan Town Tongluo Dongfang Sewage Treatment Co., Ltd., Wujiang Jiali Sand Washing and Dyeing Co., Ltd., and Wujiang Fenghua Woolen Knitting Dyeing and Finishing Co., Ltd. have taken control measures to immediately stop sewage discharge. Production can only be gradually resumed when the antimony concentration at the Pingwangxuehu Bridge section is less than 5 μg/L. .
On August 4, it was also reported in the circle of friends that a leading printing and dyeing company The emergency notice issued by Shenghong Group requires the branch factories involved to suspend production starting at 6 pm that day, and the recovery time will be notified later.
This news came out, so I didn’t dare to take orders at will. The traders are “making matters worse”. The circle of friends exploded:
In fact, this is not the first time that Wujiang has been affected by the Taipu River The antimony concentration exceeded the standard, and measures were taken to limit the production of printing and dyeing factories. In April this year, the Wujiang District Environmental Protection Bureau also issued a relevant notice, restricting sewage discharge by 50% from relevant printing and dyeing enterprises and related sewage treatment plants that set up their own sewage outlets.
“Taipu River” is named after it connects Taihu Lake and Huangpu River. This river starts from the Wujiang District of Suzhou City on the east coast of Taihu Lake in the west, connects with the Ximao River in the east, and enters the city of Shanghai. It is considered to be the area with the best water quality in the upper reaches of the Huangpu River in Shanghai. After the “Jinshan Water Pollution” and “Huangpu River Dead Pig” incidents, opening a new water source lake in the Taipu River has been regarded as one of the feasible solutions to solve Shanghai’s drinking water problem. The Taipu River, which flows through 15 towns in three provinces and cities of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, also faces many difficulties in resisting pollution from numerous industrial enterprises on both sides of the river.
“This time it is the off-season, so even if the dyeing factory stops production, the delivery problem will not be as serious as last year.” Trader Lao Huang said, “ However, if the dyeing factory restricts production and suspends production for a long time, the delivery problem will become a big problem.”
The production restriction policy of the weaving factory continues,
The loom motor is hot,
The cloth on the machine is wet,
even if it is opened secretly!
In May, rumors spread in Shengze and surrounding areas, Keqiao, Zengcheng, Changyi and other places. News of production suspensions and production restrictions has come. Now in August, the production restrictions in Changxing have ended, and the operating rate of water-jet looms has returned to about 90%. The “three starts and one stop” production restriction operation in Shengze area is still continuing. On the 6th, merchants received another relevant notice: From today on, the Shengdong Squadron of the Shengze Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau will strictly investigate the three-open, three-stop, one-stop system. On the day of the shutdown, if the company finds that the loom motor is hot or the cloth on the machine is wet, it will be considered stolen!
This policy has been in place for more than two months, and there is still no word on when it will end. Due to the 25% reduction in production capacity in the early stage, many cloth bosses complained: Now the daily production capacity is limited. Although it is the off-season, the supply of desired goods is still tight! Nowadays, with raw materials soaring and gray fabric prices struggling to keep up, another fabric boss is thankful: Fortunately, production has been suspended, otherwise he would have suffered even more losses!
In August, the entire textile market is still in the off-season. Although the market for some conventional chemical fiber lining fabrics has “emerged”, high-density The supply of polyester taffeta, high-density pongee and gallbladder series in the market is tight, and the price of gray fabrics has also increased. However, judging from the survey results, the market for most lining fabrics has not picked up significantly, and there is still a lack of supply. Few weaving companies are still holding on, fearing that they will lose customers if prices rise. Limiting production may be a “decent” way to alleviate the pressure on weaving companies from rising raw material costs.
The second half of the year is “gold nine and silver ten”,
Will you miss the date?
The second half of 2018 has arrived. For countless textile companies, it is probably the last three years. The most challenging half year since.
Not only are environmental protection pressures high, many textile companies are overwhelmed by several factors such as raw materials, labor, logistics, loans, dyeing fees, and delivery times. In ” Textile people walking on the tip of a knife are destined to feel stressed.
Although many textile bosses place their hopes on the upcoming “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” market conditions, and the vast majority of bosses believe that they will not miss appointments during the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten”, but in the second half of the year The competition is becoming more and more fierce, and business will not be easy in the second half of the year. Textile bosses have calculated their business this year. Are they making money continuously, or are they just “selling and shouting”?
Life is always ups and downs
The daily routine of weaving, printing and dyeing enterprises has become:
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up,
Open, open, stop, stop, stop…
