Many manufacturers have noticed our abundant orders for large-diameter rubber suction hose, especially the surging demand for red head wear-resistant gold mining hoses exported to Africa.
Our production has to be scheduled according to the sequence of customer deposits. As a result, numerous factories originally producing other types of hoses have launched new production lines and switched to manufacturing large-diameter rubber suction hose and wear-resistant rubber hoses.
But is the market really as profitable as it appears? Do we receive abundant orders and adopt make-to-order production simply because of huge market demand?
The truth is far more complicated. Manufacturing large-diameter rubber water hose is not a high-tech industry. There are no short-term market dividends, and there is no legend of getting rich overnight or striking it big within one year. What we have is just a decade of long working days, leaving home early and returning late every single day.
In the first few years after Wang Xueyan, the Rubber Hose King, started producing and selling large-diameter rubber suction hose, we used to face sluggish orders between June and July. When finished goods piled up with no storage space left, we even had to arrange holidays for workers.
After years of constant exploration, plus opportunities brought by the internet, Wang Xueyan promoted our rubber hoses through short videos and livestreams. We connected with countless business owners with hose purchasing demands. Meanwhile, we developed a brand-new sales model: customized production of large-diameter rubber water hose strictly based on customers’ actual working conditions.
Many people think this business model has low entry barriers and is worth a try. However, although many new players step into this sector, very few can achieve stable long-term development. Running a real manufacturing business is tough, and manufacturing sales is even more challenging. Factory operators need to manage production as well as sales, supervise workers and maintain stable relationships with clients simultaneously.
This year, I have received news that several rubber water hose manufacturers withdrew from the large-diameter hose market and planned to liquidate their raw material inventory. I also heard about newly built factories that offered 40-day credit terms to attract clients. Eventually, some customers defaulted on payments. Struggling with cash flow shortages, those factories failed to pay workers on time and were acquired by other enterprises.
Hearing such news, Wang Xueyan feels no sense of triumph. Instead, these cases serve as constant reminders for our team.
First, never blindly enter unfamiliar industries. We will stay dedicated to the production and sales of large-diameter rubber water hose.
Second, never accept orders recklessly under any circumstances. We firmly reject all credit sales.
Third, maintain healthy cash flow and stable order volume. Enterprises tend to make irrational decisions when facing capital shortages or lack of orders.
Our business goal is straightforward: help more business owners get to know Wang Xueyan and Titan large-diameter rubber suction hose. We aim to grow into a specialized and competitive manufacturer of large-diameter steel wire reinforced rubber hoses. We will avoid blind capacity expansion. Relying on our existing 10 production lines, we strive to realize make-to-order production for over 80% of our capacity for more than 90% time within one year.
We must always consolidate our business foundation, guarantee stable production costs, and support the sound and sustainable growth of Titan rubber hose business.
Thirty well-known enterprises have been placing repeat orders with us for 8 consecutive years. Source large-diameter rubber suction hose from Wang Xueyan: our quality is more trustworthy than insurance policies, and our service exceeds all customer expectations.
