To survive, towel manufacturers banded together in late 2004 to found a self-support organization. They held a public hearing in Taipei to petition the government to ban the import of fake-labeled mainland Chinese towels, and asked government agencies (such as the military) to purchase Taiwan-made towels.
為了爭取生存空間，93 年底，業者聯手成立「台灣區毛巾自力救濟會」，北上開公聽會，要求政府取締以「偽標」進口的大陸毛巾，並要求政府單位（如軍方）必須採購台灣製造的毛巾。
