Post Date：2025.10.28         In the past thirty years, under the wave of globalization, enterprises have mostly relied on "low cost" as the only guide, as stated by Kenichi Ohmae in "The End of Nation States": "Enterprises will search for the most suitable elements around the world, produce at the lowest cost, and sell their products to the global market." However, after the trade war, simple cost competition is no longer enough to determine victory or defeat. Whoever can flexibly adjust their production layout and find a balance between key technologies and costs will be able to stand firm on the international stage.

        

 

 

        In the summer of 2025, the United States officially implemented "equivalent tariffs" on multiple imported goods, causing disruptions in the global supply chain. This wave of policies is not only part of the trade dispute, but also a catalyst for companies to re-examine their supply chain strategies.

        Everest Textile's response strategy is to maintain the soul of innovation in supply chain rebalancing, and weave a comprehensive resilience to face challenges with its core advantages, sustainable innovation, and smart manufacturing.

        1、 Core advantages and response strategies: Stable layout and value enhancement

        Everest Textile's competitiveness in the international market stems from three core advantages:

        1. Global layout: Everest Textile has set up factories in Tainan, Shanghai, Thailand, the United States, and Ethiopia, not only to diversify tariff risks, but also to respond to global demand through a mechanism of global factory joint manufacturing, relay design, and rapid replication and transfer of technology, quickly scheduling production capacity and delivering by production area. This innovative global operation model provides the best service experience for brand customers.

        2. High value-added products: Everest Textile focuses on functional, environmentally friendly, and innovative fabrics, creating differentiated products and reducing sensitivity to price. From workwear and sportswear to high-end fashion fabrics, every product combines technical and aesthetic value, not only enhancing customer loyalty but also maintaining stable competitiveness in a market with price fluctuations.

        3. Brand cooperation foundation: Long term cooperation with international sports and fashion brands to establish a stable source of orders and opportunities for joint development for Everest Textile. For example, Everest Textile has collaborated with well-known sports brands to develop high-performance fabrics that combine water repellent, waterproof, breathable, and environmentally friendly materials. They have successfully launched multiple internationally popular products, enhancing brand trust and providing resources and market guidance for the company's innovation, enabling technological breakthroughs to quickly translate into commercial value.

        

 

 

        Faced with equivalent tariffs from the United States, Everest Textile adopts a multi-level strategy to respond:

        1. Origin adjustment and diversification: Flexibly schedule orders to factory areas that are not affected by tariffs, reduce cost pressure, and strengthen localized production in the United States to shorten the supply chain and meet market demand.

        2. Supply chain and raw material adjustment: Develop diversified raw material sources, reduce the proportion affected by tariffs, and cooperate with suppliers to promote low-carbon and environmentally friendly materials, enhancing product competitiveness.

        3. Value enhancement strategy: Increase research and development investment, launch differentiated high-end fabrics, and combine "sustainability, functionality, and design" to create brand added value.

        Supply chain resilience alone is not enough. Everest Textile has chosen to collaborate with other industries to create a functional and sustainable innovation breakthrough model

        1. Semiconductor cooperation: Convert CMP recycled waste into functional fibers, enabling fabrics to have antibacterial, deodorizing, anti-static, and far-infrared promoting blood circulation characteristics, which not only solves the waste problem in the technology industry but also enhances the functionality of textiles.

        2. Oyster shell nylon development: Everest Textile has collaborated with Chengjiake and Far Eastern Fibertech to calcine discarded oyster shells from the coast of Taiwan to produce a new type of nylon 6,6, which not only reduces environmental burden but also has antibacterial, deodorizing, and far-infrared radiation rates of up to 90%.

        3. Recycled Economy Fiber: Everest Textile and fiber giants have jointly launched the T2T snowman type side by side, combined with corn oil PTT bio fiber, providing two options: "T2T ready" and "T2T already", making the brand more flexible in sustainable transformation.

        These cross-border collaborations have transformed Everest Textile from a traditional fabric factory to a 'material solutions provider', enhancing product competitiveness.

        2、 Towards Net Zero: T2T Recycled Economy and Low Carbon Innovative Products

        Under the pressure of global net zero emissions, the textile industry must not only pursue production efficiency, but also pay attention to the carbon footprint of raw material sources and product lifecycle. Everest Textile promises to comply with the international net zero trend and promote fabric recycling and remanufacturing with T2T (Textile to Textile) recycled economy as its core, implementing low-carbon concepts from source to product.

        1. Carbon reduction measures

        Energy Transformation: Everest Textile plans three major strategies: "Solar Power Plant", "Replacing Coal with Low Carbon Fuel for Boilers", and "Replacing Old Equipment and Introducing Energy saving Machines" to achieve net zero carbon emissions.

        Recycling and Carbon Reduction Dyeing and Finishing Technology: Integrating recycled materials, optimizing dyeing and finishing processes, and reducing energy and water consumption.

        Establish a circular material platform: Through closed-loop management, the finished products are recycled, depolymerized, and then polymerized into new fibers, achieving true 'fabric recycling'.
