Development History of Sewing Machine
发表日期：2019-09-19 00:47 浏览次数： 标签：
The world sewing machine industry has experienced the transfer from Europe, the United States to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. Since the early 1990s, it has been transferred to China in an all-round way. At the beginning of the 21st century, more than 70% of the global sewing machine production has been in China. However, 70% to 90% of the domestic high-end machine market is occupied by Japanese and German enterprises. On the low and medium-end sewing machine products, the world sewing machine industry has completed the transfer to China, and the industrial transfer has gradually extended to the high and medium-end products. With the increasing competition in sewing machinery manufacturing industry, mergers and acquisitions and capital operations among large sewing machinery manufacturing enterprises are becoming more frequent. Domestic excellent sewing machinery manufacturing enterprises pay more and more attention to the study of the industry market, especially in-depth study of the industrial development environment and product buyers. Because of this, a large number of excellent domestic sewing machinery brands have risen rapidly, and gradually become the leader in the sewing machinery manufacturing industry!
In 1869, Li Hongzhang, a representative of Westernization, visited Britain and returned home with a gold-plated Sewing Machine for Empress Dowager Cixi as a gift. At that time, the British media also reported the incident.
The earliest information available today about sewing machines entering the Chinese market is an advertisement. On December 14, 1872, Shenbao published an announcement of "garment machine sale" by Jinlong Ocean Bank. The notice said: "Several new foreign sewing machines, each with a foreign price of 502, would like to buy please come to contact us." At that time, the foreign bank was selling products from American winner company (then called Singer Company).
Wang Tao, a famous modern thinker and political commentator, once described this machine. At that time, his neighbor was an American, and there was a winner sewing machine in his family. In 1875, Wang Tao wrote, "There is a wonderful sewing machine in the western countries. It's a wonderful needle handling device, and it's a nimble Hanlan. There is a copper plate with two wings and iron wheel under the needle. The wheel rotates by itself. It holds the silk, and the fine needle is closely intertwined. It is very long and instant.
Around 1880, Shengjia Company established Shanghai Feng Company on Nanjing Road in Shanghai (446 Nanjing East Road today). In order to promote the sale of products, the company employs Chinese women workers at higher salaries. After training, they are asked to take sewing machines along the street to perform and introduce the operation methods of sewing machines to the public. Soon, the winner sewing machines became known as advanced garment machines in Shanghai.
For a long time, Shengjia has almost become a synonym for sewing machine, and it is also one of the western industrial products that entered China earlier. In China, the earliest sewing machine was called "iron car", "foreign machine", "needle car" and so on. Puyi, the last emperor, gave Wanrong the queen a winner sewing machine. It can be seen that it was still a rare thing in China at that time.
In 1905, Shanghai began to manufacture sewing machine parts and set up some small workshops for the production of sewing machine parts.
In 1928, the first 44-13 industrial sewing machine was produced by Shanghai Xiechang Sewing Machine Factory. In the same year, Shanghai Shengmei Sewing Machine Factory also produced the first domestic sewing machine.
Before 1949, the production of sewing machines in the whole old China was very low, with an annual output of less than 4000 sets. At that time, the market of sewing equipment was mainly monopolized by the American winner company.
In 1949, after the founding of New China, sewing machinery industry has been fully developed. The industry has gone through the stage of restructuring and transformation. Public-private joint ventures, mergers and cooperation have carried out a reasonable division of labor and formed a number of backbone enterprises, such as Shanghai Cutting, Chang, Huigong, Flying Man, Butterfly and Tianjin Sewing Machinery Factory and Guangzhou South China Sewing Machinery Factory. Sewing machine factory and other sewing machine manufacturers, mainly produces ordinary household sewing machine and low-grade industrial sewing machine.
Components of sewing machine
At the end of 1950s, the light industry implemented the universalization and standardization of household sewing machines, unified design drawings, improved the compatibility of parts and components, increased the number of sewing machine manufacturers, and developed special sewing machines for sunflower fans, medical operations, badminton, bicycle tyres and cord splicing according to needs. 。 According to statistics, there were 56 sewing machine manufacturers in China up to 1980, which were distributed in 22 provinces and municipalities. By 1982, the output of sewing machines in China had reached 12.86 million units, ranking first in the world.
By the mid-1980s, with the constant adjustment of market and consumption structure, the product structure of sewing equipment was developing towards high-speed and serialization on the basis of medium and low-speed industrial sewing machines. Electronic and computer technologies were also widely used in sewing machines. At the same time, China has completed the establishment of parts supporting system, and built a huge sewing machine sales network. Some sewing machine enterprises digest and absorb advanced technology after introducing foreign advanced technology.
In the early 1990s, famous international enterprises entered China one after another and established joint ventures and wholly-owned enterprises in China.
In the late 1990s, private enterprises began to rise, and industrial restructuring promoted the development of the industry. Overall, six major production areas and bases were formed in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Tianjin and Guangzhou.
Up to 2004, there were more than 600 sewing machine manufacturers and more than 1000 spare parts manufacturers in China, with an annual output of 14.08 million units, a gross product of about 28 billion yuan and nearly 1,000 varieties, which has become one of the major sewing machine producing countries in the world.
