Innovation boosts China's textile industry 2012-06-12

In recent years, due to difficulties and challenges such as market downturn and increase of trade frictions resulted by the international financial crisis, with continued cost rise of the labor, raw materials and energy, the foreign-trade clothing enterprises in China generally meet a high development pressure and some even become unsustainable.

However, some foreign-trade clothing enterprises stick to innovation in a pioneering spirit, constantly develop international market, create famous brands and achieve significant economic benefits. Jiangsu Dongdu Textile Group is such an innovative enterprise.

The Spring Festival holiday passed just now but workers in the workshop of Dongdu Textile Group have worked in full swing for a long time.

"At the first working day after the Spring Festival, our operating rate reached 87 percent and now all workers have come back. We have completed recruit in advance. The orders have been arranged to the third quarter and we are starting two more production lines", said by Xu Weimin, Chairman of Dongdu Group, in workshop of Dongdu clothing production base at Zhangjiagang, while examining the new production line for which part of machines have just been installed.

From a textile factory with sales volume no more than RMB50 million yuan at the beginning of restructuring in 1999, to a leading textile enterprise with foreign and domestic sales volume of RMB5 billion yuan in the last year, Dongdu Group does not only keep growing quickly, but also becomes a famous foreign-trade enterprise in the international market.

"Clothing manufacturing industry is not a sunset industry and a lot of foreign-trade clothing enterprises do a good job. We make a few achievements mainly because we stick to equipment transformation and market-oriented innovation for a long time", said by Xu Weimin in a humble voice, who has been involved in this industry for 20 years.

Leading the market with innovative technologies

In the product exhibition room of Dongdu Group, rows of colorful fabrics are much surprising. "All of these are the latest products developed on our own." Xu Weimin says, "if you wear clothes made of this exothermic composite fabric, your sensory temperature will rise by 2 to 3C; that antibacterial fabric will not be smelly even not washed for several days; the special fabric with functions of anti-ultraviolet radiation, anti-static electricity, sweat absorbing and quick drying, one-way moisture transferring is mainly used to manufacture outdoor sport clothes, which are much popular in the international market...

Dongdu Group made a great deal of investment these years to develop these new products. At the beginning, in order to upgrade equipments, Dongdu Group almost stopped investing in all other aspects and concentrates their financial resources on upgrading. In 2002, all textile equipments of Dongdu Group were upgraded to the leading level both at home and abroad. With foreign enterprises entering into Chinese market, the Group was aware of the importance of core technologies. From 2005, Dongdu Group established R&D centers jointly with Tianjin Institute of Textile Materials and Jiangnan University one after another and spent over RMB40 million yuan every year to develop a series of new antibacterial, bamboo-fiber, anti-ultraviolet fabrics. By 2011, the Group has obtained 4 patents of invention, 459 design patents and "Award for Innovation in Textile Technologies" granted by China Textile Engineering Society for three times.

"We take the lead in applying vegetable dye in textile fabric and presently only we are capable of mass-producing this product. With promotion of batches of environmental-protection and healthy fabrics, our enterprise obtains the right of speaking and pricing in international trade gradually, so we can easily optimize our market and select high quality customers." Xu Weimin says proudly that there are no bad debt and accounts receivable because the Group takes only the first-hand orders and refuse to cooperate with non-international-leading brands.

Direct dealing with the international trade market does not only improve the margin of Dongdu Group, but also broaden their international vision and further encourage them to target higher objectives to develop self-owned brands. The domestic sales amount of IT'S BETTER, an ecological children's clothing brand developed by Dongdu Group, keeps a double-digit growth in recent years.

Expanding the reaching with international vision

Xu Weimin, who just returned from study in Cambodia in the morning, tells the reporter that this travel further strengthened the idea to establish a Dongdu Industrial Park in Cambodia. He says, "We are expanding the producing scale overseas gradually so as to internationalize the production."

As a matter of fact, as early as in 2002, Dongdu Group made a strategic decision in which it planned to transfer all foreign-trade business to Hong Kong and Singapore and set up its own global business order center for international trade in the form of joint venture with, cooperation with and acquisition of overseas foreign trade enterprises.

Dongdu Group established a factory in Malaysia in 2003, which opened the curtain of transferring of manufacturing base; it spent RMB150 million yuan building a new clothing manufacturing base in Nantong in 2004; it set up another overseas manufacturing base in the form of joint stock and cooperation in Cambodia in 2005 with nearly 10,000 employees currently; it established new manufacturing bases in middle and north Jiangsu Province in 2010.

"It is an important route of transformation and upgrading for over 10 years for the Group to optimize resource allocation with international vision and full use of domestic and international markets." Xu Weimin says that the Group has further strengthened and improved "forward transfer of trade" and "production transfer", keeps expanding cooperation with Australia and the US to develop new trade and cooperation relations this year. "The industrial transfer project from Australia has been settled in Dongdu Group with all equipments available and we are negotiating for the product R&D department. We are following the Cambodian project and the Phase II factory will start building soon."

Dongdu Group has formed an international layout with headquarters, R&D and brand departments and high-tech fabric manufacturing in Zhangjiagang, foreign trade center in Singapore, manufacturing bases distributed at home and abroad and sales market in the US, EU and Japan.

"Innovation does not mean only technical improvement, also includes strategic deployment. Facing with new situations, certainly it will not be promising if a foreign-trade enterprise is operated in a conventional mode." Xu Weimin views that "Although the sales amount of the Group has reached nearly RMB5 billion yuan, we just kick out on our development road. We should have an international vision and the spirit of 'being the first in all aspects', and strive for being the leading role in the whole industry."

Sales skyrocket at Chinese garment retailer Ever-Glory 2012-06-12

Ever-Glory International Group Inc, a leading apparel supply chain manager and retailer based in China, reported its financial results for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, net sales increased 60.9% to $215.8 million from $134.1 million in 2010. The increase was attributable to increased sales in both Ever-Glory's retail and wholesale businesses.

In 2011, retail sales from LA GO GO, the Company's branded retail division, increased 82.7% to $53.5 million, compared to $29.3 million in 2010. This increase was primarily due to the increase in new stores opened and same store sales. Ever-Glory had 467 LA GO GO stores as of December 31, 2011, compared to 293 LA GO GO stores at December 31, 2010. Currently, there are LA GO GO stores in more than 20 provinces in China.

In 2011, sales generated from the Company's wholesale business increased 54.7% to $162.2 million, compared to $104.8 million in 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales in the PRC, the United Kingdom and the United States. The increased sales in the wholesale segment were primarily due to the following factors:

(i) The progressive adjustment of the Company's wholesale client and product portfolio has resulted in an increase in wholesale orders; (ii) In response to the global economic uncertainty, in mid-2010 we adjusted our sales strategy to develop more wholesale business in China. (iii) Increased production capacity thanks to continued expansion of the Company's outsourcing base to Vietnam and Cambodia starting from the third quarter of 2010.

"We're very pleased with the significant progress we made in 2011, as sales in both our retail and wholesale segments continued to increase," commented by Mr. Edward Yihua Kang, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Ever-Glory.

"We are especially encouraged by achieving the objectives of LA GO GO store expansion. As of December 31, 2011, we had 467 LA GO GO stores in China; we surpassed our goal of opening an additional 80 to 100 new stores in 2011! We had 293 stores at the end of 2010."

"For 2012 , we see our basic strategies of retail business as unchanged, we will continue to develop LA GO GO through perfecting design styles, improving store management efficiency and opening more stores in desired locations," continued Mr. Kang. "We are confident that, continuing to pursue these measures, we can enhance same-store sales, expand LA GO GO's market penetration and increase its brand position in China."

In 2011, gross profit in Every-Glory's retail business increased 81.6% to $18.3 million from $10.1 million in 2010. Gross margin for the retail business slightly decreased to 34.1% in 2011 compared to 34.3% in 2010.

In 2011, gross profit in Every-Glory's wholesale business increased 63.2% to $26.3 million from $16.1 million in 2010. Gross margin for the wholesale business increased to 16.2% in 2011 compared to 15.4% in 2010. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to lower outsourced manufacturing costs.

Total gross profit in 2011 increased 70.3% to $44.5 million from $26.2 million in 2010. Gross margin increased to 20.6% in 2011, compared to 19.5% in 2010.

Selling expenses were $18.1 million in 2011, an increase of $8.4 million compared to 2010. As a percentage of sales, selling expense accounted for 8.4% of our total sales in 2011, an increase of 1.1% compared to 7.3% in 2010. The increase was attributable to the enlarged number of retail employees and higher average salaries, as well as the increased store decoration and marketing expenses associated with the promotion of LA GO GO.

General and administrative expenses were $14.3 million in 2011, an increase of $4.6 million compared to 2010. As a percent of sales, general and administrative expenses accounted for 6.6% of our total sales in 2011, a decrease of 0.7% compared to 7.3% in 2010.

The increase in total general and administrative expenses was attributable to an increase in payroll for additional management, and design and marketing staff as a result of the Company's business expansion. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total sales was due to the increase in the Company's sales.

Income from operations increased 82.2% to $12.1 million in 2011 from $6.6 million in 2010.

For 2011, GAAP net income attributable to the Company was $9.6 million or $0.65 per diluted share, an increase of 45.1% from $6.7 million, or $0.45 per diluted share in 2010. GAAP net income attributable to the Company results for 2011 include approximately $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, of non-cash income related to the change in fair value of a derivative liability compared to approximately $1.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, of non-cash income related to the change in fair value of a derivative liability in 2010. Excluding this non-cash items for 2011 and 2010, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.64 in 2011 compared to $0.38 in 2010.

Exhibition of Korean fashion clothing in China 2012-06-12

Signaling the beginning of a Korean Wave in fashion, 'Preview in CHINA 2012' is hosted by the Korea Federation of Textile Industries (KOFOTI) at the New China International Exhibition Center in Beijing, China. It's held together with the China International Clothing & Accessories Fair (CHIC).

Based on the theme 'Unique Korea', the exhibition sees participation by 76 renowned fashion companies in Korea in 200 booths. In addition to participation by companies that took part in the exhibition last year, top national brands in Korea as well as well-established designer brands are participating in the exhibition for the first time to showcase Korean fashion, which goes beyond Asia and is becoming a global trend.

The plan is to demonstrate the global competitiveness of Korean culture by featuring the unique ideas and skills of Korean fashion companies. The exhibition will feature a diverse variety of fashion products that reflect Korea's uniqueness in the modern lifestyle, ranging from office wear to party wear, leisure and sportswear, as well as eco-friendly wear and street fashion.

This year's exhibition has further gained competitiveness, thanks to participation by brands that are setting fashion trends in Korea. In addition to the exhibition, there is the Brand Fashion Show, designed to publicize the participating brands and generate synergy effects for business. It is held as a gala show on the second floor of the Crowne Plaza International Airport Hotel Beijing on Tuesday, March 27. The fashion show is held four times.

Also planned is the Korea-China Business Exchange between participating companies and local buyers in China. It's held in the afternoon on March 27 and joined in by around 200 officials. It's at a large banquet hall of the Lijingwan Hotel in Beijing, and presents opportunities to expand business networks and engage in business talks.

Before the Korea-China Business Exchange, a seminar is held on the theme, 'Trends in the Korean fashion market'. The products of participating companies are analyzed and information is shared on recent trends in the Korean fashion market.

During the exhibition period, around 16 Chinese media outlets are invited to take part in the One-on-One Interview between Participating Companies and Local Chinese Media, including Guangxi Satellite TV, China Textile News, and Fashion Beijing. This event serves as an opportunity to publicize the excellence of the Korean textile and fashion industry as well as Korea's fashion clothing brands.

"This year's exhibition is participated in by the greatest number of companies that have the ability to combine what is uniquely Korean and what is global. I expect this exhibition to result in the launch of a Korean Wave in fashion that extends its reach from Asia to the entire world, following the footsteps of Korean TV dramas and K-POP," said KOFOTI Vice Chairman Dong-soo Kim.

KOFOTI has been holding Preview in CHINA in Beijing since 2010 in tandem with increased demand in the textile industry to expand distribution networks in China and to advance into areas throughout China, including the northern region. It's thus supporting fashion brands in Korea in conducting marketing activities aimed at making inroads into the Chinese market.

Take Comfort to show Gerber's automation tool for apparel 2012-06-12

During the 13th China (Dongguan) International Textile and Clothing Industry Fair (DTC 2012) being held March 28-31, Gerber Technology, a world leader in providing automation solutions for the apparel industry, will showcase its software and hardware systems under the theme Take Comfort in Our Experience.

Gerber Technology will highlight several innovative products including the YuniquePLM product lifecycle management system, the latest version of AccuMark pattern design, grading and marking software, new cutter software and control systems, and the GERBERconnect remote diagnostics system which dramatically improves the efficiency of Gerber systems.

Companies of all sizes can reap the benefits of a product lifecycle management system with YuniquePLM. YuniquePLM FS (fast start) edition is an out-of-the-box solution that is easy to install and use and is designed to have users up and running in as little as three weeks. This system is pre-populated with critical templates including PANTONE TPX and TCX color palettes, measurement tables, care symbols and instructions.

Gerber will also introduce the latest version of its world-leading AccuMark pattern design, marker making and grading software. AccuMark version 8.5 simplifies many of the day-to-day pattern making tasks including accelerating the process of digitizing hard patterns. It also simplifies marker planning by integrating it directly into the AccuMark workflow, accelerates costing tasks, particularly for knitted materials, and provides powerful tools to enable users to create patterns for sleeves and easily add internal darts.

With GERBERconnect remote diagnostics software resident on a user's hardware or software system, Gerber Service personnel are able to monitor systems remotely, and, for matters that require a Gerber technician to be on site, issues can be resolved swiftly because the technician has the information needed to thoroughly troubleshoot the issue beforehand. As a result, system uptime is maximized.

Tom Finn, president of Asia Pacific and senior vice president of Global Operations for Gerber said, "Our experienced experts not only recommend the most suitable solutions to customers, they also help customers explore ways to maximize their potential through automation."

Gerber will also showcase several automation systems for the cutting room including the GERBERspreader XLs50, GERBERcutter Z7, and GERBERplotter XLp Series (with a maximum plotting width of 2.2 meters).

As the official partner of the DTC show, Gerber will continue to sponsor a marker making competition. During the event, experienced marker makers compete against one another to win prizes for their superior marker making skills. The competition also provides a platform for competitors to exchange ideas on ways to improve marker efficiency and minimize material costs.
