Japan's textile machinery industry has not been affected by a major earthquake

The magnitude 9 earthquake that occurred in Japan has attracted worldwide attention. After the earthquake, the reporter promptly contacted several Japanese textile machinery companies and electrical suppliers who had close business dealings with the Chinese market. These companies stated that their business contacts have not been substantially affected by the earthquake. According to textile machinery companies in China that have business dealings with Japan, the original contract signed has continued, and company officials are closely monitoring the development trend after the earthquake and the impact of the earthquake on the future market economy.

Japan's textile machinery and electrical manufacturers are mainly concentrated in the southwestern region, so the earthquake that occurred in the northeastern region of Japan currently has little impact on the textile industry. The head of the Toyota Air-jet Weaving Company, which is closely associated with the Chinese market for a long time, said that because Toyota is located in Nagoya, the impact is not great. The company’s employees are still working and they maintain business relationships with the rest of the world. However, in the long run, the company's business will be more or less affected by the supply of raw materials and electricity. The company's production is based on sales, complete zero inventory, if there is an unexpected situation, the delivery time may appear twists and turns. The staff of the Tsudakoma Air-jet Weaving Company in Shanghai, Japan, said that Tsudakoma Air-jet Loom Co., Ltd. is far away from the epicentral area. Since the earthquake did not have a direct impact on the company's business, in the long run, the situation is not yet clear, and it still needs to wait for a while. It takes time to draw conclusions.

Japan's Panasonic's factory for the production of trolley wires is located in Ibaraki, one of the areas most affected by the earthquake. One of the company’s sales staff in Beijing said that so far there has been no contact with the factory. It is estimated that the factory’s losses are very serious. We hope that they will resume as soon as possible after the earthquake to ensure the safety of personnel.

Zhang Guoying, general manager of a fabrics import and export business in Beijing, said that so far, Japan’s import and export business has not stopped, but the earthquake disaster will have a major impact on Japan’s domestic and global economy. He believes that although the earthquake will affect the Japanese textile market, it is optimistic about the Japanese market in the long run.
