立達 中國市場是重要的戰略任務

立達集團在中國開展業務已有80多年,被公認為短纖紡紗領域零備件、整機及全流程的市場領導者。2005年,立達集團建立了立達中華區,由立達紡織機械(上海)有限公司,立達(中國)紡織儀器有限公司,立達亞洲(香港)有限公司,臺灣芮特股份有限公司組成。
如今,立達中國已擁有1000多名員工,總部位于常州,包含制造工廠和紡紗技術中心。此外,立達在上海還設有分公司,提供售后服務。在2016紡機展召開之際,本刊記者采訪了立達設備與系統銷售總監Reto Thom先生。
《中國紡織》:立達從哪一年開始在中國設立工廠?目前在國內主要業務有哪些?在中國市場的發展情況如何?
Reto Thom:立達在中國已經活躍很長時間了。第一臺立達設備早在1927年就抵運中國,2000年立達收購了法國ICBT公司并在常州開始運行,并于2002年在常州建立了一廠,從2010至2014年,立達新工廠投資完工,紡紗中心是一個完美的收尾,為中國客戶提供全面的服務。
立達在中國生產幾乎所有機器,涵蓋纖維開清、紡紗準備,后紡設備包括環錠細紗機、緊密紡紗機以及半自動轉杯紡紗機。立達目前的發展情況良好,隨著世界經濟的復蘇及發展,生產銷售情況有顯著提升。
《中國紡織》:立達以產品品質贏得國內客戶的認可,立達在這方面有什么體系保證產品創新和品質穩定?公司的研發團隊是如何構成的?
Reto Thom:立達在全球都實行“立達制造”標準,從開發時的質量規劃,制造時的質量保證,直至使用周期內的質量提升。因此無論產品在何地制造,都能確保立達品質。
而在全球實現“立達制造”標準,離不開立達的專業團隊。在開發階段,我們擁有設計師、生產和質量專家組成的跨學科團隊。在生產階段,我們擁有專業的生產和質量專家及分析部門。在質量管理階段,我們擁有服務、研發、生產、質量專家及分析部門。最重要的是,立達還注意傾聽客戶的反饋,會定期向客戶發送滿意度調查,并采取相應措施來改進質量。
《中國紡織》:立達的競爭優勢主要體現在哪些方面?可以核心產品為例來說明。
Reto Thom:立達作為領先的紡織機械和部件供應商,專注于開發紡紗機器的自動化和低能耗,這也是立達的競爭優勢所在。以立達新型噴氣紡紗機J 26為例,得益于優化的吸風系統,單錠驅動和智能電源控制,壓縮空氣消耗的減少,高生產速度,可以顯著降低能耗。而J 26紡紗單元的自動化理念能縮短接頭周期,從而提高生產速度。
《中國紡織》:目前國內紡織企業需求發生了較大變化,紡織用戶的需要呈現多樣化和定制化趨勢,您如何看待中國的紡織市場,公司是如何應對這種變化的?
Reto Thom:我們十分看好未來的中國紡紗市場。我們發現我們的客戶對高度自動化、高產高效以及節能的需求日益高漲。對此,我們除了為客戶提供相應設備的同時,還將建立一套全新、獨立的售后業務體系,從而改善并拓展我們的服務。
《中國紡織》:從去年開始,不少紡織企業包括一些國外紡織企業開始在東南亞等國家和地區建立新廠,您如何看待這種現象?貴公司如何看待未來的中國市場?有沒有向其他國家轉移生產的計劃?

Reto Thom:不可否認,就連中國的客戶也在尋求海外市場更好的發展。這主要得益于海外市場的成本、政策利好等。但中國始終是立達全球主要市場之一,中國市場對立達的貢獻越來越高,且立達在土耳其和美國等地,市場占有率也非常高,這也能有利于中國客戶開拓海外市場。
《中國紡織》:2016紡機展召開在即,請介紹下此次的參展情況,重點機型有哪些,這些機型的競爭優勢在哪里?
Reto Thom:大家可在展會現場看到選配P 26后可加工滌綸的噴氣紡紗機J 26。機器主要的亮點在于,機器一側加工100 %滌綸的同時,另一側可加工滌粘混紡。立達將與客戶分享利用噴氣紡工藝加工各種滌綸的適用性,以及清潔周期和耐用性方面的經驗。
在展臺還可以看到運行中的精梳機E 86,其最大有效梳理面積結合靈活的設置有助于滿足市場需求。在技術方面,立達也將證實利用精細混棉機A 81 UNIblend中精確的計量系統,其混紡效果優于并條機混紡。為了探討最合適的紡紗工藝,1號展廳的D 01展臺將同時展出所有紡紗工藝的模型,以及來自立達、格拉夫、布雷克、諾維巴和緒森的織物樣品和工藝部件。
