Wenzhou Shoe Enterprises Advance At The End Of The Year

More than 90% of the shoe manufacturers in Wenzhou have arranged the calendar for the Lunar New Year holiday.

In comparison with previous years, about 70% of Wenzhou shoe enterprises have planned to take early leave at the end of the year.

The earlier holidays will be 10 days in advance, and workers will be allowed to return home in the middle of December.

Most of the shoemaking companies, who used to take annual leave in previous years and worked in a shoe factory in Lucheng industrial district, Wenzhou, told reporters yesterday: "8 people living in company dormitories now have only 3 people left."

Xiao Chen from Anhui has worked in this shoe factory for 4 years.

He said that this year will be the first year of shoe factory holidays.

Due to the busy production of shoe factories, some of his colleagues have returned to their homes in recent years.

According to the plan, the Japanese group will leave the holiday from the 16th day of the twelfth month of the Chinese lunar calendar to seventeen this year, and in the first few years, there will be a holiday in December.

Teng Zhijie, vice president of sun Tai Group, said that the main reason for the five or six day leave this year is that the production tasks will be basically completed.

At the end of the year, more than 200 Japanese and Thai workers could not get home tickets. Eventually, the company had to buy more than 200 train tickets from Jinhua railway station and pfer them to Jinhua by 4 buses.

With this lesson, Japan and Thailand are preparing for this year. In addition to early holidays, they also help train workers to book train tickets and bus tickets.

Most of Wenzhou shoe enterprises will have two or three days ahead of schedule in the end of the year.

In the past few years, the spider king group, which was on vacation from December to the 22nd of the lunar calendar, will have a holiday in the 18th day of the twelfth month of the Chinese lunar calendar and nineteen this year.

Xu Limin, vice president of spider king group, told reporters that there were about 2000 workers at the headquarters of the spider Wang Group and several branch factories in northern and northern parts of the country.

This year, in order to keep the workers home, the company also booked the train tickets for them.

The Red Dragonfly Group has 5 branches in Yongjia. Each year ends in a factory and a factory takes turns off.

According to Luo Zhigang, President of Red Dragonfly Group, in the first few years, the earliest holiday factories usually started in December on the 24th of the lunar calendar, and will advance to about 22 in December this year.

In the past years, most of the natural shoe companies who had been on holiday in the twenty fourth to twenty-five days of the lunar calendar in December are expected to have holidays on 22 December of the lunar new year.

The reporter interviewed above is only an excellent shoe manufacturer in Wenzhou.

Most of the hundred and eighty workers' small and medium-sized shoe factories are closed now.

2007 is the most difficult year for shoe enterprises. Liu Liaodong, general manager of the natural footwear industry, thinks that the shoe industry in Wenzhou is in advance of the winter holiday. The main reason is that the shoe market is too warm for winter and the winter shoes are not many, but the production of shoes next year is too early.

The second reason is that with the approaching of the end of the year, migrant workers working in Wenzhou are eager to return home to celebrate the new year.

According to the reporter's understanding, in 2007, under the siege of tight money, rising prices, abnormal climate and BELLE listing, 2007 can be described as the most difficult year for the shoemaking enterprises to face the "internal and external troubles".

According to the statistics of Wenzhou State Taxation Bureau, there are only 2178 shoe making enterprises in our city in 2007.

In only two or three years, the number of shoe enterprises in Wenzhou has been reduced to 2178 by the "more than 4000", which is often referred to by practitioners.

The early leave of shoe companies may give Wenzhou shoe bosses more time to think about the way ahead.
