Many Of The Garment Processing Enterprises In Weihai Are Struggling.
In 2008, it was a year for the garment processing industry.
The increase of labor cost and the increase of production cost by enterprises are more than 20%; the adjustment of export tax rebate has greatly reduced the profit margins of enterprises; and the continued appreciation of the renminbi has made many enterprises touch the bottom line of survival and even go to the edge of losses.
Many unfavorable factors have brought the garment processing industry of Weihai to the cusp of the storm.
Some enterprises are struggling.
In April 7th, it was the final delivery time of a batch of orders processed by a garment company in Weihai for foreign investors.
On the evening of 6 nights, Ms. Liu, the company manager who was pregnant for nine months, worked overtime with the workers in the workshop until the early hours of the morning until the product was completely processed. On the morning of the 7 day, when the workers began to work, Ms. Liu appeared on time in the company.
"Next month, my wife is going to have a baby. If the business is good enough, who will let her suffer the crime? " On the morning of the 7 th, she watched Ms. Liu constantly using his mobile phone to contact his business. Her husband, Mr. Zhao, said heartache that he knew business well enough to relieve his wife's pressure on work.
In October 2006, Mr. Zhao invested about 400000 yuan to open this clothing company for his wife, Mrs Liu.
"In less than two years, we lost about 300000 yuan. After the Spring Festival, I lost seventy thousand or eighty thousand yuan. Mr. Zhao said, "from the beginning of the business, we encountered the market downturn."
"Because the company has no right to import and export, it can only take orders from foreign trade companies." Mr. Zhao said that when customers place the order, the price is not only low, but also a price. If you agree, the order will be placed for you, disagree, and the customer will immediately leave for other partners.
At the beginning of April, the company received a Japanese order, and the processing fee for each customer was 6 yuan, totaling 12 thousand pieces, requiring delivery in 1 months.
"Now it's a lot of money. If you don't answer it, people will answer it." Mr. Zhao said he would have to pay at least 30 thousand yuan for the order. He gave the reporter an account: 70 workers paid 1500 yuan per person's wages and paid 105 thousand yuan a month. Under the premise of ensuring no quality problems, the order will earn 72 thousand yuan, and it will lose 32 thousand yuan, not including the cost of workers' accommodation and so on.
"At present, the state of the enterprise is not able to live and die." Mr. Zhao said that the company had already posted about 300000 yuan, and if it withdrew from the market, nearly 400 thousand yuan of equipment could not even be sold for 100 thousand yuan. The reason why it is hard to sustain is luck and hope that the market will get better one day.
"Another reason is that in order to stabilize the workforce, once the market improves, there will be no shortage of workers." However, Mr. Zhao's psychological endurance can only come to the end of the year. He said that if the market is still not improving, it will have to quit.
A garment company adjacent to Mr. Zhao did not recruit a worker after more than 30 years. In order to support their families, the couple received orders to do their own work. They were very busy. They hired helpers from the community at the price of 6 yuan per hour. In April 10th, when reporters walked through the company, they found that they had hung the red banners outside the workshop.
After the Spring Festival, a clothing company in Zhang Cun closed down, and 4 million yuan of equipment sold only 680 thousand yuan. In April 1st, the owner of Weihai East Union Fashion Co. Ltd. evaporated overnight and the company was sealed up by the court. In April 8th morning, the reporter interviewed in the high district, and found 3 clothing enterprises to go to the house and empty......
In the relatively dense area of garment enterprises, only more than 100 garment enterprises were cancelled or revoked last year.
Domestic experts predict that in 2008, 25% to 30% of the national textile and garment industry will withdraw from the market. The president of the China Textile Industry Association said that the trend of polarization of textile and garment enterprises is intensifying, of which 8.9% of the company's profits account for 39% of the total industry, and 2/3's enterprises are at the edge of losses.
Suffering comes from internal and external troubles.
"Export garment processing enterprises mainly profit from export tax rebates." In April 6th, the manager of a clothing company told a reporter that since 2004, the state has adjusted the export tax rebate two times, so that the export tax rebate rate has dropped from 17% in the past 11% to a significant reduction in the profit margins of garment export enterprises.
The continued appreciation of the renminbi has also led to the "breathless" of garment exporters.
"It is estimated that the RMB will appreciate by 1 percentage points, and the export volume of US $1 will be less than RMB 0.08." On the afternoon of 10, the head of a clothing trade company in Weihai said that the ability of the enterprises to reach the limit of RMB appreciation has reached the limit. However, the overdue psychology of foreign businessmen has always been at the level of the past.
Two years ago, the cost of processing a jacket was $1, which is still $1 this year. This person in charge said that because of the fierce competition in the homogenization industry, even though the profit margins of foreign orders have been shrinking again and again, some enterprises are rushing to undertake orders.
In addition, the subprime mortgage crisis script src=> broke out last year
