Didn’t I say that the dyeing factory’s orders were generally good? Why did the dyeing factory’s machinery and equipment suddenly stop production for maintenance recently?
According to an employee of the dyeing factory, they have recently stopped the setting machines in the factory in turn for maintenance and cleaning. Under normal circumstances, the maintenance and cleaning of machinery and equipment in dyeing factories is usually carried out at a time when orders are scarce, or during the holidays when production is suspended before the year. Recently, some dyeing factories have chosen to shut down for maintenance. Does this mean there are fewer orders now?
Press the card for 2-3 days and set it overnight Queuing
In fact, the orders from dyeing factories are not that small now. At least the dyeing factories that have stopped production and are on holiday as mentioned above still have a lot of work.
According to the employees of the dyeing factory, although the current orders in their factory are very different from previous years, they are not bad considering the market situation this year. At present, there is still a surplus of orders in the factory, and it usually takes 2-3 days for orders to enter the factory. At the same time, textile companies that have orders in their factories also feel the situation clearly.
According to the person in charge of a textile company, they have a lot of orders at the end of every year, and it has been the same recently, but the work recently is still very difficult. In the dyeing factory mentioned above, they also have a lot of fabrics in production. In order to ship the order a few days ago, the company’s employees queued in the factory until 4 a.m. the next day to finalize the order.
Then why do dyeing factories choose to shut down for maintenance even when there is no shortage of orders and even the production time is very tight?
Shut down for maintenance in advance, or prepare for the holidays
Because the machines in the factory are shut down for maintenance, It will only appear when there are fewer orders and when we are preparing for holidays before the year. Now is definitely not the time to have fewer orders, so does that mean the factory is going to have an early holiday?
The possibility is still very high. In the past half month, there have been rumors in the market that the Spring Festival holiday may be brought forward this year. Some said it would be early December, and some said it would be early. The end of December, usually mid-January at the latest.
If you carefully analyze the textile-related companies that have made it clear that they will take holidays in advance, you will find that almost all of these companies are located in the lower reaches of the textile industry chain. Especially some companies that produce finished garments, such as shoe factories and clothing factories. Although the reason why they took the holiday so long in advance may have something to do with the epidemic prevention work, the more reason is that the factory is currently out of work.
Downstream processing companies have been left with no work to do, while upstream companies are still producing frantically, which is obviously very unreasonable. Will this reduction in orders be transmitted upstream? It is definitely necessary. It’s just because the number of upstream dyeing factories is smaller than that of downstream garment companies, orders are relatively concentrated, and the off-season has not yet fully fermented. But as time goes by, it will inevitably become more obvious, and it is only a matter of time before the shutdown spreads from downstream to upstream.
Orders from some dyeing factories have begun to weaken significantly
The current order status of dyeing factories may be relatively good in the textile industry chain. Compared with weaving companies and garment companies, it is difficult to see the off-season situation.
According to a trader, a dyeing factory they are currently working on has a lot of orders, and the factory now has to wait for 7 days to produce. Moreover, workers are nervous, and many simple operations such as dehydration and opening need to be done by the company itself. The order quantity of the dyeing factory does look very good, but in fact it has been reduced a lot compared with the previous vat production by various large customers.
Not only this, but another dyeing factory also felt the same. According to the person in charge of the dyeing factory, more than a week ago, the factory’s daily inventory of gray fabrics was guaranteed to be 800,000. About 700,000 meters per day, which exceeds the factory’s daily production capacity of 700,000 meters. However, the factory’s orders have decreased significantly recently, and the daily warehousing has dropped to about 500,000 meters. Some large customers and market orders have significantly reduced.
Some other dyeing factories have gradually returned to a normal state from the initial pressing state. The reduction of orders has already occurred in the dyeing factories, although some dyeing factories still seem to have orders. a lot of. However, as the shutdown of downstream factories such as clothing factories and shoe factories gradually spreads, it may not be too long before dyeing factories stop production and take holidays due to orders. </p
