In The Face Of Rising Raw Material Prices &Nbsp; Spring Enterprises To Practice Cost "Uneven Bars".

With the rising price of raw materials, the price increase of downstream products is difficult to follow up, and the profit margins of enterprises continue to be compressed. For shoes and clothing enterprises, how to fight this cost war? Yesterday, reporters at the Quanzhou commodity fair and the thirteenth session. Shoe Fair The fourteenth session Haibo meeting On the spot interview, we found that many enterprises are trying to ease the cost pressure brought by the price rise of raw materials by upgrading technology, updating equipment and developing new materials.

　 Improvement of new material utilization ratio

"The products included in this exhibition include clothing Shoes, netting, and so on, have begun to use bamboo, soybean fiber and other new materials. At the shoe Fair's shoe exhibition area, 361 degree carries the entire Universiade full range of equipment. Hu Zhengrong, deputy manager of public relations department, told reporters that the new materials developed by enterprises are aimed at improving the functionality of sports products, such as enhancing ventilation, absorbing sweat, and antibacterial. On the other hand, developing new materials that can replace cotton and chemical fiber can also avoid the cost pressure brought by the continuous rise of single material prices to enterprises.

In fact, the combination of new materials and technology elements has also brought the "bottom gas" to enterprises' price increase. "Take our running shoes for the Chongqing marathon as an example. Because of the new material with stronger permeability and the new technology used to relieve the pressure on the footstep, the market price will surely be higher than that of the ordinary sports shoes." Hu Zhengrong said frankly.

In the shoe material Museum, new materials are also being developed and applied. In the exhibition hall of shoe material enterprises in Quanzhou, this year's new product, degradable fiber leather, is a natural bamboo fiber synthetic leather made from bamboo fiber as the main material and combined with physical and chemical methods. {page_break}

　　 Reduction of scrap rate of raw materials

"In the production process, due to the error of manual operation and other factors, raw materials are often wasted." Quanzhou Yutian Technology Co., Ltd., the person in charge told reporters that with leather cutting as an example, most of the previous manual release methods, because each version of the different shapes, how to arrange the material to save more, manual can not achieve accurate calculation, coupled with manual cutting may be operational errors, often waste a lot of material. With the improvement of information technology, automation and accuracy of machinery and equipment, it can not only help enterprises reduce labor costs, but also reduce the cost of raw materials. "For shoes and clothing enterprises, raw materials savings of 6%, equivalent to 6% increase in corporate profits."

Similarly, a digital technology company from Dongguan brought a digital printing machine. Compared with traditional screen printing, digital color printing machine has become a major selling point besides environmental protection and manpower saving. "Traditional silk screen needs to be artificially collocated. Once a barrel is adjusted, if the color is not correct, it needs to be removed and re adjusted. This will not only waste raw materials, but also pollute the environment. Digital printing only needs to be tinted on the computer, adjusted and printed, so that the scrap rate caused by printing and dyeing can be greatly reduced." Zhou Liang, director of enterprise exhibition, briefed reporters.
