Winter or spring in the leather factory?

Dongguan in Shenzhen around the distribution of numerous large and small leather case factories, mostly apple, Samsung and domestic Huawei, OPPO and other leather case production based on a class of mobile phone leather case factory, there is also a class of IPAD and Samsung and other domestic and foreign brand tablet case manufacturers.

Most of these factories sprang up a decade ago with the emergence of shanzhai mobile phones and consumer electronics such as ipads in Shenzhen. At first, it was for electronic products supporting packaging leather cases, one machine, one set, the number is quite amazing, the leather supply market centered on South China City, the electronic market centered on Huaqiang North, the leather production and processing industry belt based on Shenzhen Baoan Longgang District, grew up a group of domestic and foreign traders.

Entering 2017, many factories feel that there is a shortage of orders. Are companies or foreign trade company received the order before production not to come out and then outward processing, feed a lot of leather processing plants, with the order of high concentration, big order concentrated in the hands of some traders with independent brands, and then to a certain scale of production and quality requirements of suppliers, formed the large factory orders done, solo do not small plant.

How to solve this practical problem?

With the author in the leather industry experience, to everyone put forward the following humble opinion, for reference.

1. Based on the factory's original products, strengthen the development and proofing of related leather products;

2. Improve the quality control ability and production efficiency of the factory, and reduce production costs;

3. In the long run, we should set up our own business department to expand our business.

Domestic customer, basically look for the trade company of big dot, look for manufacturer of a few electronic products, supply leather cover. Looking for foreign trade companies, looking for amazon and other cross-border e-commerce.

Foreign customers, mainly through foreign trade personnel, customer development on the network platform, to participate in some foreign exhibitions.

From the current market, leather manufacturers polarization is serious. Over-production capacity, product homogenization, factory positioning is not clear, it looks like winter.

Really custom-made good factory, order stability, generally have their own leather development department, business department, production department management regularization, there is a certain viability, and the small processing plant is not complete, pure processing, do not understand the market, will be very passive.

If you can keep up with the pace of market development, more products like consumer leather, good business communication ability to do a good job for customers, or there are opportunities.
