In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", my country's textile enterprises have withstood the pressure and worked hard to move forward in a complex and changeable environment. Entering 2022, in the face of a still complex and volatile external environment, the Central Economic Work Conference has made it clear that economic work must take the lead and seek progress while maintaining stability. China Textile News has launched a special report on the Spring Festival - "2022 Continue to Forge a New Journey", inviting textile industry leaders to look forward to the new year, plan the future, and jointly contribute to the realization of stability and progress in the textile industry.
"This year is the year of Changshu Textile Machinery's new 50 years of sailing. Although the epidemic and many uncertainties in the domestic and foreign markets have brought great fluctuations to the industry, the Changshu Textile Machinery's rectangular series products have won the industry's reputation with their excellent quality. Widely praised." Peng Xiaohong, chairman and general manager of Changshu Textile Machinery Factory Co., Ltd., said in an interview with reporters recently.
Good quality wins more orders
The greater the market volatility, the more obvious the value and meaning of high-quality products. According to Peng Xiaohong, in the first half of this year, the company's workshops were operating at full capacity, with sufficient orders, and achieved good results in new processes, cost reduction, and productivity promotion. What is particularly gratifying is the high-speed electronic dobby in the fields of high-speed rapier and air-jet looms. It is more and more favored by everyone. This is not only an affirmation of the company's continuous research and development and innovation, but also the driving force for the company's development and growth, and it also points out the direction for the company to continue to deepen its cultivation, specialization, and innovation. Although the market downturn is obvious in the second half of the year, the company will continue to fully tap the market potential in terms of advantageous products, and continue to do its homework in terms of high-speed, energy-saving, environmental protection and other equipment suitable for personalized fabrics. There is still a lot of room in the market.
Peng Xiaohong said frankly that the recent electricity production limit has had a considerable impact on the company's daily production and operation. To this end, the company has made corresponding adjustments in a timely manner, especially formulated emergency plans for production and procurement, and formulated detailed supply day plans and weekly plans for parts with long production cycles and suppliers with high frequency of power cuts, so as to ensure that the purchase cycle is Meet the needs of assembly and debugging. However, Peng Xiaohong believes that, on the other hand, this power and production limit is also a reshuffle between industries, especially for some companies with insufficient R&D innovation capabilities and incomplete industrial chains. Therefore, under the current background, it is more beneficial for enterprises that focus on innovation and management standards. At the same time, the company has also formed a complete supporting system in terms of production cooperation and supporting, and implements the principle of self-made 20% of core components, and the other 80% of supporting components. Today, with the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the company has made corresponding preparations and adjustments for some of the supporting cooperation and logistics that may be affected.
