Medium enterprises to upgrade the Pearl River Delta Shoes "hurt the deepest" - Pearl River Delta, shoes, transfer - footwear industr

Into 2008, wave after wave of "cut-off Tide" hit, including footwear, clothing, toys, ceramics, including many SMEs in the Pearl River Delta is facing a huge crisis.

These companies are quietly closed down or transferred to upgrade? Been and are being transferred and how to upgrade the state enterprises to survive? What are the difficulties? How should? Reporters launched an investigation with these questions.

Industries: Both inward and outward case of "acclimatized" PRD some enterprises, started from last year tidal wave of relocation, the factory moved to foreign countries or the Midwest. But the reporters found that many enterprises have realized the transfer have not fared well.

A Taiwanese shoe factory moved to India from Guangdong for some time. In 2007, an international art Sports shoes Brand to the next shoe factory in India Order 1.2 million pairs, but the actual plant only produced more than 20 million pairs of orders, loss of about 8 million yuan U.S. dollars.

In addition, a relocation of Taiwanese shoe factory in Vietnam, recently experienced a strike, equipment smashed, plant burned. Vietnam, "Labor News" reported that this year, Vietnam's southern workers strike continued, dozens have taken place, and the rise. April 2, according to Agence France-Presse reported that at least 1.5 million people took part in the strike, require the manufacturer to raise salaries to cope with constantly soaring prices in Vietnam.

Survey found that enterprises in order to find new footing, there are still many employers running small and medium enterprises in Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, Cambodia and other places, seem so hopeless and helpless ... ...

Compared with China, although the national and regional labor and land costs are relatively low, but the lack of skilled industrial workers, improve the industry chain, together with language, religion and lifestyle of the obstacles, many companies and not been imagined benefits.

Companies eyeing the Midwest also have difficulties.

Foshan market for a clothing company who told reporters that Miss Chen, this year Export Fell 2-3 percent, mainly in the Middle East more severe decline in Hong Kong Proxy There have been significant decline in business. Now, companies focus on domestic market expansion, export and domestic sales is 55 basically open. However, "there is no trade purely domestic, the mainland business climate than in Guangdong, one important reason is that dealers often paid in arrears."

Addition to sales, factories have relocated to the Mainland, the main destination is the Hunan and Jiangxi. Foshan The clothing company is a pioneer.

"Styles change quickly, need to constantly adapt to changing market demands of fashion, remain in the Guangdong factory, moved to the Mainland, mainly clothing line." Miss Chen, said, "The current level of wages is the Mainland working hard to attract workers in Guangdong return to employment, the recruitment of technical skills of local poor, and the lack of fabric, dyeing and other associated facilities. "

View of this, migration of the company is also found all sorts of "acclimatization" of the disease.

According to Asia Shoes Li Peng, Secretary General, to shoes, for example, currently, only the more successful China Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Jian Bao on shoes and high Yusheng shoes, most of the other shoe is still in the running-in period, must be a period of time process of adaptation. Currently, most Inland shoe factory also is the nature of processing based mainly on upper, other high tech sectors are still on in Guangdong.

Transfer process is the difficulties, forcing the Guangdong direction of "Headquarters Economy" direction. The corporate headquarters, brand, R & D departments to stay in Guangdong, the vast land and labor-intensive factories on the mainland, a new choice for many enterprises.

Industrial upgrading: Sort of a small enterprise "hurt the deepest"

In this round of industrial upgrading process is not the most tough little plant, but the medium-sized enterprises.

Asia Footwear Association Secretary-General Li told reporters in the shuffling process, are affected by who is 800-3000 and medium-sized footwear Shoes Processing plant. Large shoe factory in the capital, customers, and risk transfer and other aspects have an advantage, but mainly in Guangzhou Baiyun District, a small shoe factory, with Guangzhou Railway Station Road Shoes City's domestic sales, Russia Border trade, the Middle East and Africa, small and medium order to survive. In the market downturn, dozens of small shoe factories could leave to the market picks up, they can immediately re-started.

Present a small amount of orders is increasing diversity, the vitality of these small plants are growing. And medium-sized shoe is not very satisfactory: customer sort of a small, affected by a variety of living environment, the customer can not afford to support prices, by their own funds and restrictions on migration can not be transferred out some of the pressure of survival, eventually leading to the living environment getting worse. As a result, the situation in the future may become increasingly large shoe factory, more and more small shoe factory.
