At present, some shoes enterprises are busy replacing new machines. Highly advanced machines are introduced to Quanzhou. So these shoes enterprises can alleviate pressures caused by appreciation of RMB, rising labor cost and increasing price of materials. Fujian Oumeilong Group spends a large mount of money on almost 100 autoimmunization machines.
Chairman of Oumeilong Group, Mr. Cheng Zhongshi says that the expenditure on advanced machines can improve shoes quality. In the long run, the update of machines can reduce not only labor cost but also energy and management cost. What's more, only advanced technology can make your products more competitive. Innovation is a necessity for development of enterprises. Now, the average salary for workers is 2700 per month. With new machines, their salary will increase and their working environment can be improved.
The deputy director general of Quanzhou Technology Office, Mr. Liu Yihua thinks that the pattern of Quanzhou enterprises is to be changed with the increasing labor cost and declining profits. Labor intensive enterprises will face tough challenges. It is a good choice for them to adopt the technology intensive way to improve efficiency, quality and profits.
