Sewing machine function refinement will be the future trend

In this round of general low tide, it is said that the impact of special equipment is the smallest? why? Is the conversion of special machines the core competitiveness of such enterprises?

Hong Yuanyu: This is relatively speaking, we also feel the off-season, just because we are providing special equipment such as multi-needle pattern machines, browsers and so on, so the impact is relatively small. When the market is not good, garment companies often study new styles and designs, especially women's and children's wear enterprises. When they find that there are special equipments that can replace manual processes that must be completed by skilled workers before, they often will Choose to purchase new equipment.

The refinement of the function of the sewing machine itself is a major development trend in the future. But this requires the accurate judgment of the car dealers for the future market, especially in the state of the current shortage of spare parts, to do special refitting machines need to judge market demand in advance and transfer goods in advance.

Zeng Shengli: In this round of downturn, the large-scale foundry companies and brand companies are the least affected. In this type of enterprise, most sewing machine manufacturers think that they have basically finished upgrading and there is no longer any market space. However, in fact, these companies have more experience in the high efficiency brought by updating equipment. They are still very interested in the mechanized operation of more energy saving and labor saving. For example, sewing a button in a Tang suit, manual sewing requires four sides of the car, and we have developed a mechanical car that we only need to step on. One can replace thirty people's workload. Machinery is popular with branded companies. This is a market opportunity. Therefore, companies should strengthen their own research and development of special machines or refitting machines, which will be welcomed by brand enterprises that want to “energy saving and labor saving”.

Multiple measures to deal with the off-season Reporter: When companies have to face the external environment that cannot be changed, are all companies waiting for their jobs? Or is there a business seeking a breakthrough?

Xiao Wenyan: We have observed in the textile machinery market for a long time and indeed found that some companies have taken some effective measures to survive the off-season.

Hongyun and BEHRINGER held "special solo exhibitions" in the off-season, looking for sales highlights in the off-season and invited targeted customers to participate in seminars, exchanges, and interactions. For example, Hongyun has developed new products for swimwear and summer casual wear. They will invite purchasers from swimwear companies to visit.

For another example, both Fucheng and Hongyun will also increase training during the off-season. They will not only train their own mechanics but also train their mechanics. When the mechanics of a garment factory are familiar with their products, they often rely on their products. The owner of the garment factory often consults the mechanics when purchasing new equipment. Played a promoting role. At the same time, the lack of mechanical repair personnel has always been a big bottleneck that restricts the development of the industry. Training personnel in the training industry will undoubtedly also play a catalytic role in the industry.

Zeng Shengli: Our Hengli and Yongxin tried to open up foreign markets in 2008. This is a new attempt when the domestic market is generally in an off-season. After several years of efforts, foreign markets have shown a rising trend and we will continue to develop new markets.

Energy-saving equipment has attracted much attention. Reporter: Not long ago, the Fujian Sewing Equipment Industry Association organized hundreds of local people in the sewing machinery industry to go to Shanghai to participate in the China International Sewing Equipment Exhibition (referred to as CISMA). Do you see some trends? ?

Hong Yuanyu: The big trend is still energy saving and power saving. Such equipment has attracted much attention at the show. Energy-saving and emission-reduction has become an urgent task for the entire manufacturing industry.

Xiao Wenyan: This time we went to Shanghai. We have been communicating with the industry. We are very optimistic about the domestic market, although the current domestic clothing brand's influence is still relatively weak, but it is on the rise. Nowadays, the quality requirements of domestic brands have become higher and higher. This is an opportunity for us because they will purchase more advanced equipment to achieve standardized operations.

In addition, we also found that due to the "fast fashion" and personalized popularity, printing equipment will be more directly applied to clothing, which is also a new market demand. Changes in process flow will bring new equipment needs. Today, companies such as Anta and 361° have already applied these new technologies.

"The lowest tide in history," this topic is undoubtedly heavy for the sewing machinery industry. As the upstream industry of the garment industry, it can only passively follow the rise and fall of the garment industry and rise and fall? When companies have to face the external environment that cannot be changed, are all companies waiting for their jobs?

In the exchanges with a number of people in the industry, we found that in this round of downturns, large companies and companies providing special equipment have suffered relatively little. The active exploration of some companies in the off-season is worth learning.
