Last week, an environmental notice in Wujiang area flooded the circle of friends of many textile workers. The already slightly busy year-end printing and dyeing market was immediately filled with a tense atmosphere. The suspension of production and production restriction for more than ten days has made the cloth bosses very anxious, but the delivery date is not waiting for anyone and there is no room for negotiation. The agreed time cannot be delayed by one day. Especially for foreign trade orders, a day’s difference is the difference between shipping and air freight, the difference between a few hundred yuan or tens of thousands of yuan in freight, and even the boundary between profit and loss.
Of course, cloth bosses will not sit still and wait for death. Instead of waiting for the dyeing factories that have stopped production and limited production to resume production at full capacity, it is better to find another way to solve the current predicament.
The surrounding areas are dyed The factory welcomes the environmental protection shutdown
The environmental protection shutdown and production restriction are mainly concentrated in the Wujiang area, while the printing and dyeing industries in neighboring surrounding provinces are not affected. This also leaves a “way out” for those bosses who are as anxious as “ants on a hot pot”. Transferring orders to printing and dyeing factories in surrounding areas to meet urgent needs is the only way out.
A fabric trader in Wujiang area told us that they received a lot of orders at the end of the year, which was originally a happy event. However, due to sudden environmental protection production restrictions, his production plan was disrupted, and he was in a hurry every day. I woke up at four or five o’clock. In the first few days of environmental protection, they had been looking for a dyeing factory that could replace production, and finally found a factory in Jiashan, which currently has 4.5 million meters of gray cloth for production.
But there are many people who think the same as them, and many customers have transferred their orders to the factory there. Now the factory is very busy. In order to prevent customers from being impatient, the factory issues cards according to a certain proportion of the total customer orders. It will not allow one company to produce too little or too much.
Although some dyeing factories in Wujiang have resumed production according to odd and even numbers, the staff of one dyeing factory reported that the expected crowding and warehouse explosion did not occur when the factory resumed production. The production order is not as good as the state before environmental protection. The reason is that during this period, the amount of gray fabric entering the warehouse of dyeing factories has been greatly reduced, and many traders are deliberately avoiding arranging their orders for production in dyeing factories subject to environmental protection restrictions. In the end, these orders went to some dyeing factories in surrounding areas.
Postpone the holiday and harvest profits quickly
The Spring Festival is approaching, and various manufacturers have successively issued notices of production suspension during the Spring Festival holiday. Many dyeing factories around us do not specify the specific time for the holiday. Although it is often reported that production will be suspended on January 7-8, the notices issued so far are only about year-end preparations, such as cleaning warehouses, agreeing on delivery dates, bringing money to pick up goods, etc. wait.
However, as some year-end rush orders flow to dyeing factories in surrounding areas, dyeing factories that lack orders may go on holiday in advance. Because the preliminary preparations for printing and dyeing, such as color samples and head cylinder samples, take a long time, even if the production suspension and production restrictions are over, it will be difficult to immediately put into mass production if a large number of orders are returned. The immediate delivery problem does not allow orders to be switched back and forth between different factories. The most correct approach is to process with peace of mind at the dyeing factory that has already entered production.
On the other hand, dyeing factories whose orders have flowed in are delaying their holidays and hurrying to reap the hard-earned profits. A dyeing factory in Zhejiang has set the Spring Festival holiday on January 17, which is almost 10 days later than the usual holiday in the first half of the month.
Another dyeing factory in Jiaxing area has a similar situation. According to the staff, their The vast majority of orders come from the Wujiang area. As long as there are orders, their holidays are always very late. The Spring Festival of 2019 is on February 5th, and their factory didn’t officially open until February 1st, only 4 days in advance. There is currently no news about the holiday in the factory this year, and it is estimated that it will not be earlier than in previous years, because there are indeed too many orders recently.
The impact of this environmental protection production restriction and suspension on dyeing factories cannot be ignored, but these dyes The factory did not experience a warehouse explosion due to limited production capacity. On the contrary, the inventory of gray fabrics decreased and orders shrank. On the other hand, surrounding dyeing factories that do not limit production have taken on a large number of outbound orders, and these dyeing factories are also adjusting their holiday times in a timely manner to ensure that customer orders can be delivered in time. To some extent, environmental protection has facilitated the flow of fabric orders, allowing cloth bosses to experience different production processes and services. </p
