The exciting 7-day National Day holiday is about to come, but as a textile person, it seems that it has nothing to do with the holiday. However, during this National Day holiday this year, most textile workers have had a few days off, and they are excited but anxious.
As we all know, textile workers work all year round, especially workers in weaving factories. The machines run 24 hours a day, even during holidays. No rest. But during this National Day holiday this year, many textile workers will enjoy 2-3 days of vacation. Some weaving manufacturers have already issued holiday notices. Although the period is not long, it also makes textile people excited.
The loom operation rate is insufficient, and there will be a 2-3 day holiday for the National DayWhen it comes to holidays in weaving factories, the first thing that comes to mind is the availability of looms. At present, the operating rate of water-jet looms in Shengze area is below 80%, and the enthusiasm is not high. The operating rate of Haining warp knitting machines is between 70% and 80%, which has been weak since June. The main reason for the low operating rate is that the inventory of gray fabrics is too large, and the accumulated inventory can only be alleviated by reducing the operating rate. Therefore, some weaving manufacturers choose to have a holiday during the National Day. The duration of the holiday is generally 2-3 days, but there are also 7-8 days for some manufacturers.
The person in charge of a manufacturer that specializes in workwear fabrics told the editor: “The Eleventh Plan During the three-day holiday, our inventory pressure is still quite high, especially for conventional workwear fabrics, with an inventory of 500,000-600,000 meters. Considering the inventory problem, we plan to have a three-day holiday, and we don’t usually have a holiday.”
On the other hand, we have a three-day holiday. The person in charge of a weaving factory that specializes in men’s clothing fabrics said this: “We don’t have much inventory in the factory, but the overall market situation this year is average. The entire production pace is slower than in previous years. National Day is also a national holiday, so we plan to be closed for three days. ”
From this point of view, most of the weaving manufacturers who have holidays this year are due to the slowdown in production pace caused by the sluggish market conditions, and they also have single holidays or rotating holidays; the inventory of gray fabrics caused by the sluggish market conditions Large, manufacturers have difficulty with capital turnover, and have suspended production during holidays to reduce inventory, which has alleviated some of the pressure.
The machines are fully operational, and orders are pouring in, even after the National Day.However, there are also weaving manufacturers in better condition. The machines are fully operational, and they do not take a holiday during the National Day. Mainly due to the effect of the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” days, orders for October are arriving one after another. In order not to affect production, we have to operate normally.
The boss of a weaving factory that produces imitation silk said: “There is no holiday on National Day, and the machines are fully operational. October is a busier time for us, and the orders are getting bigger and bigger. More and more people are coming, and there is not much inventory, so it’s not easy to take a holiday.”
“Currently, the machines in the factory are fully operational, and the inventory is actually quite high, hundreds of thousands of meters long. But under the current circumstances, downtime is also a loss, so it’s not as good as If you don’t stop, you won’t disrupt the production plan.” said the owner of a weaving factory that produces pongee.
In previous years, during the “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” periods, there was no time to complete orders. Not to mention the holidays, weaving companies wished that their machines could be turned on for 30 hours a day to rush orders. Nowadays, manufacturers are generally not busy. Whether they have a holiday or not depends entirely on the manufacturers themselves, which is more casual. However, as mentioned above, some manufacturers whose machines are fully operational and do not take holidays on National Day are doing well in receiving orders and are gradually getting busier. It can be seen that the market is not as weak as we say, and the effect of the peak season is gradually deepening. However, these weaving bosses are still very uneasy. Orders are coming in one after another, but there are too many goods dumping in the market, which affects the price of gray fabrics in the entire market, so profits are very low. Sales are good, but the net profit they receive is meager, just enough to support the workers, so they feel quite uneasy.
Editor’s Note From the incident of the National Day holiday, the editor believes that the current peak season of the weaving market has always been short of enthusiasm and cannot achieve the busy atmosphere of previous years. In October, the editor, like everyone, is looking forward to the peak season deepening and continuing to ferment into a hot market!
