Chinese Upholstery Mill's Export Perspective

July 31, 2001

Linan, Hangzhou, PRC — The Zhejiang Linan Tianmushan Weaving Company is eager to see the removal of quotas on exports.

The 10-year-old company specializes in upholstery fabrics — jacquards and plain weaves. Jacquards, which can be piece-dyed or yarn-dyed, are the company's best sellers around the world, according to sales director, Sarah Jiang.

Zhejiang also offers pure poly and cotton pieces and a variety of blends.

The mill currently offers pieces 150 centimeters wide. "We are planning to buy machines with wide width to meet the market's requirements, so that the width of our fabrics is not limited only to 150 centimeters," Jiang said.

Its export — 80 percent of sales — adds to the company's stature. Jiang lists the company's primary markets as Australia and New Zealand as the company's top export markets with Europe a close second. England and Spain are also significant.

She said the company would like to work with U.S. mills in a joint-venture or partnership.

"I want the elimination of the quotas to come faster because the future for Chinese mills is very good. Our life is improving in China and China will be continuing to develop, so the Chinese could even buy U.S. export products.
