Some Plastic Cosmetic Firms in China

In a year, China’s raising costs tough to take; the wage is already raising 10 to 20 percent. Many manufacturers started to worry about the disruptions of global supply chains and seek other good places. Taiwan’s Esmin Co. Ltd., said that, the reasons why they decide to build two new injection molding machine in Taiwan, Chang-Hua and Jiayi is the problem of raising wages and shortage of labors in China.
Also, the manager of Wittmsnn Battenfeld GmbH Aiko Liu, speaking in an interview at Cosmoprof, said that the labor wages in Dongguan have tripled in the last few years. Compared with China, Taiwan where the salaries have been remained steady. That’s the reason why they decided to expand in Taiwan.   

On the other hand, other firms want to shorten the supply chains to become available in the market faster and reduce the damage natural disasters or other surprised accidents from distant countries, like the flooding in Thailand or the earthquake in Japan; for example, Shanghai- based HCP Packaging is trying to fund and build an Eastern European injection molding factory. It’s not only to shorten the supply chain and lead times for clients but also fix the raising costs in China.

Above of all, many manufacturers of cosmetic hope to build more responsive supply chains because it’s hard for cosmetic makers to predict the global market trend. In this competitive marker, shorting supply chain has become much more important in today’s market.
