I heard that a certain textile boss has recently received one foreign trade order after another. The factory is currently very busy. The “peak season” is over, but the orders are coming. What is going on?
“A customer placed a foreign trade order in September, a trial order of 30,000 meters, and then placed an additional 80,000 meters in October. Now the customer is urging me, saying that there should be more follow-up orders, and now the factory is speeding up production to rush Ship it before this week,” the textile boss said.
But according to the textile boss, this fabric is actually in stock in the warehouse, but the customer doesn’t want it.
Door widths are different, no matter how urgent it is, don’t stock it
“The customer wanted a 68-inch (172 cm) wide simulated silk tangle, but we only had a 58-inch (150 cm) width in our warehouse. There was a big difference between the two, so we had to make it custom-made. From preparation to putting it on the machine, it was very difficult from the beginning. Slowly, customers are in a hurry and have no choice but to deliver some goods and take their time,” said the textile boss.
The difference in door width may not be acceptable to customers, but the difference between the two is 22 centimeters. If it is longer, you can cut it and continue to use it. If it is shorter, you cannot sew it. Naturally, customers cannot accept it. Even if it is freshly made in the warehouse, The customer will also ask for the machine to be produced again.
Expedited production is also a good thing for textile companies. At least it can maintain the normal operation of looms in a short period of time and avoid the production of excess inventory. In November, most textile companies began to receive orders. According to sample companies monitored by Silkdu.com It can be seen from the operating rate that the current operating rate of local enterprises is around 73.5, which is down from October. However, it seems that orders have increased recently compared with before, and even printing and dyeing factories have begun to work overtime.
The market is picking up? It’s not impossible
“We always got off work on time some time ago, but starting from this week, we started working overtime again, and we can get to around ten o’clock at night.” said a dyeing factory salesperson.
Some time ago, I heard that printing and dyeing factories were very idle, and the operating rate continued to fall. The recent busyness can also be seen that the market has indeed improved.
Not only that, some weaving manufacturers and editors also said that recent foreign trade orders have indeed improved.
However, the improvement is not without reason. First of all, the impact of Double Eleven on textiles and clothing is still relatively large. Although everyone complains that Double Eleven is not cost-effective, there is still one piece of clothing to buy. Double Eleven fabrics Replenishment orders and the foreign Christmas season will also bring orders to weaving manufacturers.
In addition, printing and dyeing factories are the group that took holidays early years ago. If you do some calculations, the printing and dyeing factories will probably have about 60 more days of work before they start taking annual holidays. Even if the customers are not in a hurry and there is work now, they must hurry up. After finishing it, is it possible that I have to wait until the end of the year to work overtime and postpone my vacation?
Therefore, the busyness of printing and dyeing factories can indeed prove that the market has improved, but at this stage, I believe that most manufacturers are a bit busy. It is a fact that orders have improved, but how long it can last depends on the market environment in recent years. Look, it’s really hard to say.
Of course, there are also manufacturers who are not busy nowadays. Looking forward to next year is worse than thinking about how to improve products and attract customers.
