Woodworkers industry in Indonesia always worried about their future, just like as where they can find market, where they can find their woods material, what kind of process, the future of their factory, competitor in China and other South East Asia country.
let me tell you, before about year's ago our country woodworking industry have a major competitor at China, we always think why does the Chinesse can make a very cheap product with the same or even more better quality. Believe me they do have something that Indonesia Industry never considered about! They use machines (real machines)! for small factory they use china machines combined with Taiwan machines, for medium factory they use European machines 40%, Taiwan machines 40% and China machine 20%, and for the large factory, They use 80% Europe machines and 20% Taiwan machines, this are from our experience travel to they factory, and they also have open minded for it, they accept us to have a tour at their factory (not happen often here!). With that kind of machines they can produce something with higher value and lower cost, different from our country that a lot of woodworkers think of price as number 1 factor to choose a machine not the quality and purpose! Even China factory stock ware house sometimes using a computerized system (a fully automated ware house)! The other factor are they using a policy from their country to restitute their tax so if they sells some product for export without any profit at all and already counted every cost they needs they will have a profit of 10% from tax restitution, but now they cannot do it again cause the goverment already canceled the policy, now Industry at China have a very difficult situation, they cannot restitute any more, they must pay each month to the goverment for each their worker for a guarantee for the worker will have money if the factory collapsed, they also facing a policy that they must imported woods from other country if they wanted to sell their product for foreign country, but if they sell it for china market the policy doesn't exist. So we can take a conclusion now China is not a threat for our industry, but how about Thailand? Ok Thailand have a very unstable goverment and less variety of woods, Malaysia also have a high cost to build a factory there.
Ok now we talk about our country, the policy the goverment made for save our wood's by using a legal wood's is a must policy that all of us must obey (we must save the wood's and enviroment!) so don't think it as an obstacle for your industry Ok, start to follow the rule! But sometimes the goverment also have a silly workers that made something legal they made it illegal (such pain!) this type of thing's that we really need to wipe of from our country! And also policy in our country changes so fast and immediately almost without notice, this is an obstacle for our industry, but I see now the goverment start to make their self better.
Our country has a lot of variety of woods, this is something that our competitor don't have so I think there will still hopes for us in the future, as long as we can stay made our production more efficient and start to have open mind to other experience!
We as a machine supplier are not smarter than you, not richer than you, not as hard workers as you, but what we have is an experience from watching from one factory to other each day, and facing customer problem to another each day, listening to one customer to another each day. We are here only to give the information we have from other's to you!
We hope by our help the Woodworking industry at our country will stay alive for a long future and that will make us alive too.
