Japan's earthquake affected the arrival of textile spinning machines in Fujian

Although the 9.0-magnitude earthquake in Japan did not occur in the densely-developed area of ​​textile machinery, many Japanese textile machinery manufacturers also released the statement that the production of the company was not affected by the earthquake at the first time. However, over time, many textiles in our country The company still felt the impact of the earthquake on its normal production, and the heads of these companies had to face the reality that the arrival time of their ordering equipment was extended indefinitely.

“From the perspective of the customs district, due to the impact of the strong earthquake in Japan, some imported textile equipment enterprises in Fujian Shishi and Jinjiang regions will be indefinitely delayed in their bookings for imported equipment in Japan.” said Shishi Customs in Fujian. “Since Japan’s Toyota, Tsuda Water-jet looms are very popular with domestic textile manufacturers, so if you want to get a spot textile company in time, you must make a reservation about six months in advance.A textile company in Shishi District received the first 200 units ordered in September last year. The looms were ordered by the second batch of 300 machines, and now 60 units are still missing. Due to the impact of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the water jet loom imported by this company was delayed by the Japanese delivery, and the original third The plan for the 600 shipments was also grounded and the expansion plan had to be suspended."

It has been learned that since the strong earthquakes and tsunami occurred in Japan, many import companies in Shishi District have temporarily lost contact with the Japanese side, and some textile and garment companies have not been able to effectively implement the consulting contracts. Compared with textile enterprises, Shishi, Jinjiang, and Quanzhou sewing machine equipment traders who are mainly engaged in importing and selling Japanese sewing machine equipment products face greater uncertainty. Many sewing equipment salesmen in the urban area said that the Japanese earthquake and tsunami had no effect on the import of sewing equipment in the short term, but the future is full of variables. Operators generally believe that in the next 2 to 3 months or six months, the sewing machinery and equipment industry will face the problem of shortage of parts and components. As many parts manufacturers in this industry, especially those of core components such as computer chips, are located in the hardest-hit areas, the concern of component shortages will soon become a reality. In the short-term wait and wait-and-see, sewing machinery and equipment trading companies have begun to prepare and actively seek solutions, many sewing machinery companies have begun to find alternative products in the country and South Korea.
