The dual benefits of low-cost manufacturing and high
labor productivity have inspired the Chutex Group to
invest its fourth factory in Kunshan City’s Dingshan
Lake Industrial Zone, a scenic spot that is conveniently
located 60 km away from Shanghai as well as less than
200 km away from the container yard, consolidators and
Pudong International Airport. With China’s entry
into the World Trade Organization, the country has become
one of the most competitive countries for manufacturing.
In addition, excellent infrastructures in logistics
and communications make this place an ideal manufacturing
location for customers looking for expedited deliveries.
Chutex Group’s factory at Dingshan Lake was incorporated
in 2003 and began production in spring, 2005. The facility
is situated on a 200,000 square meter plot of land.
The first phase of factory construction includes two
factory buildings, a dormitory facility that can house
over 4,000 people, and a double floor canteen facility.
The total built-up area of the first phase is approximately
80,000 square meters, with a planned workfore of 5,000
by the end of 2008.
Similar to all of Chutex Group's factories, this factory employs advanced machineries, as well as modernized managerial, operational and logistical abilities with a complete dedication to quality control.
The factory will include its own laundry, garment dyeing, printing and embroidery facilities to allow for better quality and production control.
Likewise, to shorten the garment lead-time, we have collaborated with reputable and sizable fabric mills in China to leverage our geographical and logistical advantage,
thereby ensuring that fabric delivery to our factory will be minimized to three days.
Compared to our Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam factories, China's plant provides us with approximately four to seven days of lead-time advantage.
Sailing time of approximately ten days from the Shanghai port to the United States further enables Chutex to facilitate rapid garment delivery to our customers' shops.
Over
a period of several decades, Chutex Group has established
itself as a dependable and reputable partner with many
world-renowned clients. The existing factories are all
rated “A” grade in our clients’ portfolios.
With the first phase of Chutex Kunshan already in production,
Chutex Group will continue to expand its production
capabilities in order to meet the continued and growing
patronage of its clients.
