The food market has always been and will remain in first place in terms of demand for products. This is not surprising, because this is where goods that are vital for every person are sold and bought.

Following closely behind is the textile industry. Surprisingly, in this segment, high demand for products coexists with insufficient supply from domestic manufacturers. The share of goods produced by factories and factories in our country is only a fifth of the entire market.

The rest is occupied by imported goods, imported both legally and counterfeitly. Of course, this state of affairs has the most negative impact on both Russian producers themselves and the country’s economy as a whole. There is another problem - textile production at domestic enterprises is often frozen for long periods due to the high cost of raw materials, supply interruptions and the need to modernize equipment.

State participation in the development of the industry

The situation must change radically, and the government is already beginning to take steps to improve it. In particular, a strategy has been adopted aimed at developing light industry in our country until 2020.

In turn, the state has seriously taken on the problem of domestic production: support is provided to enterprises both in the field of financing and subsidizing the purchase of raw materials, and in the issue of technical modernization of production. This allows us to think that changes are inevitable, and small improvements can already be observed today, in 2014.

Textile industry in Russia: current state

Today the situation is such that the share of imported products on the textile market in Russia still prevails. However, compared to the last decade, significant changes in the direction of its reduction are noticeable. Over the past 10-12 years, Russian light industry has grown at a record pace, and at the moment domestic textile production is valued at approximately 70-85 billion rubles.

The industry employs about 700 large and up to 5 thousand medium and small enterprises, the total production volume of which is about 200 billion rubles. At the same time, this segment still remains undervalued by Russian investors, which means it’s time to enter the market.

An average textile enterprise now costs 20-30% less than a food enterprise with the same level of profitability. Those entrepreneurs and investors who pay attention to this area of ​​business today will be able to reap a good “harvest” in a few years with the right approach to business. We will talk further about how to competently organize textile production in our country.

Basic questions on organizing textile production

Of course, it is still too early to say that this is the most profitable business in Russia today. However, there is no doubt that the returns from such production can be quite high, and in the long term. This direction is suitable for strategic investors and entrepreneurs looking to the future.

Therefore, today it is important to approach the issue of organizing textile production from a completely new position, focusing on innovation and relevance. What points need to be taken into account when creating your own enterprise from scratch? The key factors are:

1. Organization of the design department. IN modern world It is impossible to do without the work of these specialists. One of the main conditions for high demand for your company’s products will be the relevance and originality of fabric design. Moreover, the development of new textile collections should be carried out regularly, and not one-time. Therefore, the plant/factory must have its own department with a group of designers working together and under the leadership of its owner.
2. Organization of production itself. This issue requires no less attention. Where and by whom the fabrics will be made depends on the availability of sufficient investment. Thus, some entrepreneurs create their own production workshop from scratch, others place orders for ready-made designs between home-based workers. In addition, many fabric manufacturers in Russia locate their production in Chinese factories (due to the availability of cheap labor and good technical equipment).
3. To organize your own textile production, you need to obtain the appropriate certificate for your products, think through and plan the fabric manufacturing technology, purchase modern equipment and hire personnel (from cutters and seamstresses to an accountant).
4. To sell products, you will need to think about their transportation. If the enterprise is large, then you will need your own vehicle fleet. Small textile factories/workshops use the services of third-party companies.
5. Like any commercial activity, textile business requires advertising. There should be several effective channels: your own website on the Internet, advertising blocks in specialized magazines, your own booklets with fabric samples. A good (and even mandatory) addition would be participation in exhibitions organized for representatives of this market segment. This will allow you to make useful contacts in your field, expand dealer and retail networks for more efficient sales of products.

All these points are important and, moreover, mandatory stages in building a truly successful textile production in modern Russia. You cannot neglect any of them if you really want to organize a highly profitable business that can not only survive, but also function effectively for a long time.

Textile production technology and types of fabrics

Above, we examined the main issues that are important for every entrepreneur who decides to engage in textile business in Russia. Now let's look in more detail at the actual production of fabrics. This process includes the selection of assortment, the production technology itself and the necessary equipment for its implementation.

Types of fabrics and their features

All existing textiles are divided into large and smaller types. In general, fabrics can be divided into natural and chemical. The former can be of plant origin - cotton, flax, jute, etc., and animal - silk, wool, etc. The latter are divided into synthetic, artificial and mineral.

Natural fabrics of plant origin

Cotton fabrics are made from a mixture of cotton and other fibers. This category is very common and has the highest demand in the segment natural materials. They vary depending on density and type. This is the well-known denim, calico, chintz, cloth, cambric and others. Flax fiber is less elastic than cotton fiber. Fabrics made from it have a rough surface and a more rigid structure, and their production is more expensive.

Animal textiles

The basis for silk production is the silkworm. This type of textile is elastic and durable, and therefore is in great demand in production. It is used to produce materials such as velvet, satin, etc. Russian manufacturers, as a rule, use sheep wool to make woolen fabrics. It retains heat well, does not absorb odors and moisture, and does not wrinkle easily.

Chemical fabrics

Man-made fibers are also widely used in modern textile industry. Viscose and acetate fabrics are light and smooth, have an attractive appearance and good hygienic properties. Polyamide materials are strong, wear-resistant, but they absorb fat and repel moisture, and therefore are unhygienic. Polyester is in wide demand as it is used for the production of clothing.

Textile production technology

The key point that determines the entire production of textiles and the organization of its individual processes is the fabric manufacturing stage itself. It consists of several basic steps, which we will now look at:

1. Preparation. Obtaining yarn from fibers by processing them - loosening, fraying, combing.
2. Spinning gray fiber. Textile thread is obtained from isolated cotton fibers.
3. Direct production of fabric on weaving machines.
4. Final finishing procedure. As a result of this stage, the fabric acquires properties such as strength, softness, smoothness, waterproofness and others.

This general description, and each of the above stages has its own nuances.

Necessary equipment

At the same time, in the fabric manufacturing process, the a large number of various equipment. From the obligatory for the organization of a full-fledged production process can be distinguished:

• roving machine;
• loom;
• weft-winding machine;
• winding machines and automatic machines;
• warping machine;
• sizing machines;
• glue pots;
• parting machines;
• knotting machines.

As you can see, the list of equipment is impressive. Therefore, a fully functioning textile production requires a large premises, several warehouses (for raw materials and finished products), as well as a sufficient number of employees to service it and organize effective management.

Conclusion

Today, the textile market is developing at a fairly good pace - at least 25% per year. This niche still needs competent entrepreneurs and large investments to organize modern equipment and the same approach to the implementation of production.

Textile manufacturing is a very profitable business in Russia and will remain so for the next 7-10 years, and possibly longer. If you have not decided on the segment for investing capital and organizing a business, then now is the time to enter the textile market.

Weaving factories are light industry enterprises that produce textile fabrics - fabrics produced on a loom by weaving warp (longitudinal) and weft (transverse) threads perpendicular to each other.

The raw materials for obtaining products in the weaving process are cotton, silk, linen, wool, jute, hemp threads, as well as threads obtained from artificial and synthetic fibers.

Fabric manufacturing technology is a combination of several processes, including:

1) preparatory operations:

Preparation of the warp (unwinding of threads, i.e. rewinding them onto one bobbin; warping, i.e. joining a large number of threads into one warp, their parallel arrangement relative to each other and the same tension on a common warping roller; sizing - strengthening the threads by impregnating them sizing (starch paste); threading - threading threads into certain parts of the loom);

Preparing the weft (unwinding, i.e. rewinding the threads onto bobbins);

2) weaving itself;

3) final operations (measuring the length of the final product; cleaning and cutting fabrics, monitoring their quality, laying products).

In accordance with technological process fabric production in the structure of weaving production are distinguished:

1) a preparation shop equipped with winding, warping, sizing, bobbin-winding machines, parting machines;

2) a weaving workshop with the main production machines - weaving looms, which are:

Mechanical, semi-mechanical, automatic;

According to the principle of weft laying - multi-shuttle, shuttleless (pneumatic, hydraulic, rapier, pneumatic-rapier, machines with micro-layers);

By design - flat and round;

Narrow and wide;

For the production of light, medium, heavy fabrics;

Eccentric (for producing fabrics with a simple weave); carriage (for the production of fabrics with small patterns); jacquard (for the production of fabrics with complex and large patterns);

3) the rejecting department, which carries out all operations on production lines using measuring and rejecting machines.

The classification of the final products of weaving factories - fabrics - is very diverse.

According to the type of raw material, fabrics are:

• natural (from vegetable raw materials - cotton, linen, jute, etc.; from raw materials of animal origin - wool, silk);
• artificial (viscose, acetate, etc.);
• synthetic (polyamide, polyester, polypropylene, polyvinyl);

Based on the composition of raw materials, fabrics are distinguished:

• homogeneous (from threads of the same type or with an admixture of other threads not exceeding 10%);
• mixed (from different types threads: for example, 70% - wool, 30% - synthetic fiber).

According to the purpose of the fabric there are:

• household (clothing - linen, dresses, suits, scarves, etc.; decorative - furniture, curtains, etc.; moisture-absorbing - towels, napkins);
• technical.

People began to master the weaving process back in the Neolithic era. The invention of the first handloom occurred 5–6 millennia BC. Attempts to mechanize weaving production began in the 16th–18th centuries. The first machine weaving factory in Russia was opened by manufacturer Popov in 1846 in the city of Shuya. At the beginning of the 20th century, the first shuttleless looms began to appear, among which were designs proposed by Soviet engineers S. A. Dynnik (in 1927), V. E. Leontiev (in 1936), V. A. Prozorov ( in 1949)

Read about the project

When you buy a product or service from someone, you give him money for development, finance him (help). If you don't buy, you don't help (don't finance). By buying Russian goods and services, you help Russian people. This is reasonable for you if you are part of the Russian people.
