Shoe Magnate Paramount West Moved To Bishan

The rise in costs has led to the collapse of thousands of shoe factories in Dongguan, which has brought business opportunities to Chongqing.

Yesterday, reporters learned from the Bishan county government, originally in Dongguan for the Brazil shoe giant, the company's processing of more than 20 shoe factories, recently quietly moved to the Western collective shoes Bishan, ready to fight.

The Eastern shoe enterprises are moving westward in the West. "Bishan has already collected 120 mu of land in the territory of the Republic of China, and plans to invest 160 million yuan to build 8 international standard shoemaking lines. The 20 shoe factories are the supporting enterprises for their sole and ingredients."

Bishan West shoe shoe industry office official said.

It is reported that the company is a multinational enterprise in Brazil. It has many branches in the world, and is the largest leather shoes trading company in Asia. The value of leather shoes and sports shoes purchased annually to China is up to 350 million yuan.

Previously, China's supporting processing plants were mostly located in the eastern part of Zhejiang and Guangdong.

Since the new year's day, with the appreciation of the renminbi, rising labor costs and rising raw material prices, only thousands of shoe factories have been closed or converted in Dongguan alone. While some shoe factories have been eliminated, many shoe factories are moving to the western cities such as Chengdu and Chongqing.

"In Zhejiang, the monthly wage of the local shoemaker is at least 2000 yuan, and the monthly salary of Chongqing is only 1500 yuan, which is enough to save 6000 yuan per person per person per year."

In addition, Zhejiang's water and electricity costs are about 20% more expensive than that of Chongqing, he said. When combined with the move to Chongqing, the production costs of AOKANG dropped by about 30%.
