真正重要的是越來越快的技術突破

2015年，法國機械制造商曾恢復到最好的水平，年銷售額超過十億美元。 然而，2016年的形勢卻極不明朗，尤其是在我們最重要的市場 - 中國；預計銷售額將比前幾年低15%～20%。印度市場存在可期的發展潛能，但投資決策比我們想象的要慢。在其他亞洲市場如泰國、越南、韓國都比較活躍，且投資意愿積極。在伊朗，紡織工業的發展尚處于起步階段，設備已經過時。美國經濟增長明顯，另外有些市場像西歐、東歐和中亞也做得不錯，但沒有大到足以彌補中國經濟放緩所帶來的損失。

真正比市場跌宕起伏更重要的是越來越快的技術突破。為應對這一挑戰，我們已萬事俱備，研發就在我們的基因里，因為我們是最知名的機械發明家Jacquard的后人。今天，我們的中小企業用其在研發方面的經費投入來應答我們的客戶需求。未來，我們的另一個積極的主要方面是在發展銷售和服務網絡方面的投資。此外，我們對長期戰略抱有相當積極的態度。

中國國際紡織機械展覽會暨ITMA亞洲展覽會 （ITMA ASIA + CITME）顯然是主要的紡織機械展覽會之一。我們的協會，法國紡織機械制造商協會（UCMTF），是歐洲紡織機械制造商委員會（CEMATEX）的成員，當然，我們也是ITMA和ITMA亞洲展覽會的組織方的一部分。我們認為，在全球范圍內有太多的機械展覽會，如果我們要支持一些其他的展會，那么ITMA的展會是必不可少的。

在上海，每一個法國的參展商都將展示新技術，歡迎新老客戶到展臺參觀。包括：

·NSC Fiber to Yarn，長纖維紡紗生產線 - 展位號H1 F08

·LAROCHE，紡織廢料回收、纖維開松和非織造 - 展位號C48 H2

·FIL CONTROL，感應器和切割機- 展位號H1 B15

·AESA Air Engineering - 展位號H1 D03

·SUPERBA，熱定型、段染、地毯生產線 - 展位號C01 H3

·DOLLFUS&MULLER，無端毛毯和烘干機皮帶 - 展位號H6 A13

·TRELLEBORG，橡膠收縮帶 - 展位號H6 D52

經過多年的兩位數增長后，中國經濟目前的增長速度僅為7%左右。大多數國家會很樂意看到這樣的數字。事實上，對于中國紡織行業來說，最重要的事件似乎是工資的加速增長。鑒于此，或者說多虧如此，相較于其他亞洲紡織行業，中國的紡織工業正在喪失其原有的成本競爭力。為了尋找新的市場，中國紡織行業開始了產品的升級換代，既包括出口市場，也涵蓋國內消費市場，不過，內銷市場還并未被充分利用。我們到中國各地旅游時，會發現中國的男性和女性都在尋找時尚產品，并且有能力來購買這樣的產品。家紡行業也是如此。至于產業用紡織品，它們往往體積龐大，不易被運往世界各地。所以，產業用紡織品需求在接下來的很多年內都將保持很快的增長速度。其他亞洲國家可以利用這個趨勢，在低端產品方面將會有比較強的競爭力。對于我們的機械制造商來說，在亞洲國家的這些轉移變化是一個真正的機會。我們研發的不是面向大眾市場的機械，以棉紡為例，我們在做的是設計和制造所有生產流程所需要的專業的機器并提供服務。

通過參與2016中國國際紡織機械展覽會暨ITMA亞洲展覽會，我們期待從亞洲各地來的觀眾，向他們展示我們的最新技術、聽取他們的意見、更好地了解他們的需求期望。我們的團隊真誠地歡迎他們的到來。

In 2015， The French machinery manufacturers were back to the best levels ever，more than 1 billion US Dollars in annual sales. 2016 is more uncertain， particularly as in our most important market， your own country China； our sales will be about 15 to 20% lower than the previous years. Growth can be expected on the Indian market but investments decisions are slower than we imagined. Other Asian markets are active and the investment mood is positive in many markets like Indonesia， Thailand，Vietnam or South Korea. In Iran， the textile industry is in the starting blocks as the machinery is outdated. The US economy is clearly growing and markets like Western Europe， Eastern Europe or Central Asia are doing quite well but are not big enough to compensate the slowdown in China.

What is really more important than the markets ups and downs， are the technical breakthroughs that are occurring quicker and quicker. We are well prepared to face this challenge as R&D is in our DNA， remember that we are the successors of the most well known machinery inventor， Jacquard. Today， we are SME’s investing in R&D to answer our customers’ needs. Another positive main factor for our future is the investments we have made to develop our sales and services networks. Then， we are quite positive on our long term strategies.

ITMA ASIA+CITME is clearly among the major textile machinery shows. Our association， UCMTF， is member of CEMATEX， and then we are part of the organization of the ITMA and ITMA Asia. We believe that are too many machinery shows worldwide and， if we support some other ones， the ITMA’s are essential for us.

In Shanghai， each of the French exhibitors will show new technologies， they will welcome all visitors whether long time customers or new ones， let list them：

·NSC Fiber to Yarn， lines for long fibre spinning - Stand H1 F08

·LAROCHE， for textile waste recycling， fiber opening and nonwoven - Stand H2 C48

·FIL CONTROL， sensors and cutters - Stand H1 B15

·AESA Air Engineering - Stand H1 D03

·SUPERBA， heat setting， space dyeing， carpet lines - Stand H3 C01

·DOLLFUS & MULLER， endless felts and dryer belts - Stand H6 A13

· TRELLEBORG， rubber shrinking belts- Stand H6 D52

After many years of double digit growth， the Chinese economy is ? only ? growing around 7%. Most countries would be very happy with such figures. In fact，for the Chinese textile industry， the most important event seems to be the accelerating growth of the wages. Due to that， or thanks to that， the Chinese textile industry is becoming much less cost competitive compared to other Asian textile industries. To find new markets， the Chinese textile industry therefore has to upgrade its production both for the export markets and for the national market which is not yet really exploited. When we travel around China，we can see that the Chinese men and women are looking for fashion items and have the income to pay for such products. It is true also for home textile. As for technical textiles， they are often bulky and cannot be shipped around the world. Then， the demand for these technical textiles will grow at a fast rate for many years to come. Other Asian countries can capitalize on this trend and become very competitive for lower end products. For us， machinery manufacturers， these shifts among Asian countries are a real opportunity. We are not on mass market machinery， for cotton spinning for example but we are designing， manufacturing and servicing specialty machines which are needed for all production processes.

May I conclude about our expectations for ITMA ASIA+ CITME 2016. We are expecting many visitors from all over Asia to show them our latest technologies，to listen to them， understand better their needs. Our very dedicated teams will welcome them.

What is really more important are the technical breakthroughs that are occurring quicker and quicker
