Government And Enterprise Work Together To Seek Innovation And Change. Why Does Changxing Textile Rise With The Wind

In midsummer, Changxing, a small city in northern Zhejiang, is full of vitality. There are more than 2000 textile production and operation entities lined up beside the green avenue; Trucks from all directions converged in Jiapu Textile Park; Three platforms of smart textile, scientific and technological innovation and public service have taken root in Changxing Textile City

In 2023, Changxing's textile industry will achieve an output value above designated size of 38.52 billion yuan, up 5.8% year on year; The total amount of profits and taxes was 1.007 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 154%. It has successively won the titles of "China's famous filament weaving city", "China's famous interlining city", and the national foreign trade transformation and upgrading base.

What is the secret of the rapid growth of Changxing textile industry? What is the bottom line of building it into a "famous textile city"? With questions, the reporter from China Textile News rushed to Changxing to try to find the code of high-quality development of Changxing.

　　 Government and enterprise work together to seek innovation and change

Located in Changxing on the shore of Taihu Lake and at the junction of Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui, it is an ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River with a history of more than 1700 years. When walking in Changxing, I often feel that the thick history, warm culture, and the determination to seek innovation and change interact, driving the transformation of this millennium city.

Changxing Golden Hair Textile Co., Ltd. is a textile enterprise integrating weaving, dyeing and finishing, and trade. Last year, the company's sales revenue was nearly 320 million yuan. Jin Fei, the general manager of the company, said frankly that the achievement of good results is inseparable from the continuous increase of research and development efforts of the enterprise. "For example, the warp knitted mattress printed fabric produced by us adopts the process of imitation jacquard printing, gold powder printing, etc., which is fashionable in design, soft in feel, and has advantages in price, and is popular with buyers in Europe, South America, the Middle East and other regions."

Since this year, Zhejiang Zhaoxin Textile Technology Co., Ltd. has focused on the improvement of its main business and the expansion of its industrial chain, and its orders have increased significantly compared with previous years. Shen Huiyi, the chairman of the company, said: "In recent years, we have found that the application of environmentally friendly fiber materials has become an important trend in the global textile industry. For this reason, we have also actively developed renewable fiber materials. By recycling and reusing waste textiles, plastic bottles and other materials, we have reduced the demand for raw fiber materials, reduced resource consumption and reduced waste production."

In the hot summer, the "magic tool for relieving heat" launched by Laimei Technology Co., Ltd. - Lianggan silk fabrics are sold very hot. In the words of Qian Yao, the assistant general manager of the company, this fabric can be compared to an "air conditioner". "We use a unique finishing process to endow the fabric with efficient moisture absorption and sweating performance, which can quickly export the heat on the skin and make the body feel light and comfortable like breathing. It can be used in home textiles, clothing, outdoor and other products."

If these enterprises are sails full of power storage in the sea, full of infinite vitality and vitality, then the local government is a compass to guide the direction and help the waves at the key points.

Jin Yongliang, member of the Standing Committee of the Changxing County Party Committee and Deputy County Chief of Zhejiang Province, said that the Changxing County Party Committee and the county government have always attached great importance to the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry. Since 2019, various plans and policy documents have been issued to fully promote the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry. After more than three years of strong promotion, the local textile industry has fully realized the agglomeration and equipment upgrading, and the proportion of innovative products and end products has greatly increased. "If you don't advance, you will fall back. In the face of the big waves in the market, only continuous industrial upgrading and product innovation can you remain invincible in the fierce competition in the future." Jin Yongliang said.

　　 Co development leads the industry

When it comes to Changxing's long history, we have to mention Jiapu Town, which is located in the north of Changxing. After more than 40 years of development, the textile industry has become the local leading industry, and is one of the main suppliers of home textile fabrics and clothing accessories nationwide.

In the opinion of Peng Changyong, secretary of the Jiapu Town Party Committee, it has unique development advantages and has become more dynamic in recent years.

The first is planning guidance. Since 2019, Jiapu Town has implemented the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry, guided family loom households to move to the park in a unified manner, reorganized and operated in a standardized manner, and has successively planned to build seven textile micro and small enterprise parks. The factory buildings in the park have completed the "low to high" and "looms go upstairs", and the town's water jet looms have achieved centralized production. Jiapu has also formulated the "511" industrial development plan, which is to cultivate 5 listed companies, 10 leading enterprises and 100 stable enterprises, so as to further extend the industrial advantages, promote the transformation and upgrading of the local textile industry and improve international competitiveness.

"In recent years, we have focused on attracting a number of high-quality industrial projects, and continued to consolidate and improve the transformation and upgrading achievements of the textile industry. At present, Jiapu has 200 mu of available development area, and recently plans to expand 300 mu for the construction of high-end textile industrial parks. In the future, we will focus on the innovative development of high-end household textiles and fabrics industry, adding more than 5 textile projects worth more than 100 million yuan each year." Peng Changyong said.

The second is the growth of powerful enterprises. Zhejiang Shengfa Textile Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd. is one of the representatives. The company has more than 1000 employees and is a national high-tech enterprise with a complete industrial chain. "The company has successively introduced three academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, relying on research and development platforms such as academician expert workstations and enterprise technology centers, and has achieved major technological breakthroughs in high-end home textiles, outdoor fittings, military multi-functional fabrics, etc., and has obtained a number of scientific and technological achievements." Yang Hao, the general manager of the company, proudly said that the company has now been listed as a national small giant enterprise specializing in specialty, new features Ministry of Industry and Information Technology printing and dyeing industry standard announcement enterprise, water efficiency leader enterprise, national intellectual property advantage enterprise.

"Under the leadership of leading enterprises, enterprises in the whole town are actively implementing technological transformation and innovative research and development, in order to take the lead in the industry competition, and gradually form a good situation of 'seeing both trees and forests', large, small and medium-sized enterprises developing together." Peng Changyong said.

In addition, policy support is also a top priority. In recent years, Jiapu Town has set up a platform through the government to further give play to the smart textile industry innovation service complex and other platforms, guide enterprises to focus on the differentiated development of the industrial chain, and improve quality and efficiency around the goal of "specialization, excellence, novelty". "In addition to the incentive policies issued by Huzhou City and Changxing County, we have also proposed a mechanism of 'government planning, township leadership, enterprise investment, land saving and efficiency improvement', and strengthened the cultivation of enterprise entities through measures such as optimizing layout, revitalizing utilization, and standard control." Peng Changyong stressed that, "We will give rewards and subsidies to the settled" Dahaogao "project" one matter one discussion ", constantly innovate working methods, improve service ability, create an iron army of support enterprise specialists, and strive to be a good" mother "of the enterprise."

　　 Grasping the tuyere and taking advantage of the new life

If Jiapu Town's route is "tall and tall", Hongqiao Town's route is "small and beautiful". This town, located in the east of Changxing County, with a permanent population of only about 40000, was once ridiculed as "small transparency" by industry insiders. However, in recent years, it has amazed the whole country, risen against the trend, and successfully entered the production base of Chinese jacquard fabrics.

Zhuang Zhongjie, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Mayor of Hongqiao Town, Changxing County, summed up the reasons for the high-quality development of Hongqiao textile jacquard industry with three words: "transformation", "innovation" and "unity".

In terms of transformation, the government of Hongqiao Town has gradually closed down and eliminated more than 130 "low scattered" enterprises, reserved 48 enterprises, freed up development space and completed the three leaps of industrial standardization and regulation through the three moves of agglomeration, restructuring, and plant upgrading from low to high.

In terms of innovation, the most important thing is to improve hardware. Since last year, clothes full of Chinese elements and rich in traditional characteristics have continued to be popular, becoming a new highlight of the consumer market. The local textile enterprises have a keen sense of smell, immediately perceived the tuyere, and spontaneously "exploded" more than 7000 looms, upgrading the original traditional water jet looms to electronic jacquard looms, with an additional investment of more than 2 billion yuan.

Zhejiang Jinshi Textile Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the best. Walking into the factory of the company, dozens of new jacquard looms were running with the sound of "Da Da Da Da Da", and pieces of cloth woven with various national style elements were immediately in front of us. "Our national style jacquard patterns are independently developed and designed, and sales in overseas markets are hot." Yu Dongming, chairman of the company, said that in the first five months of this year, the company's export volume has exceeded 40 million yuan, and its products are exported to the Middle East, Africa, Europe and other regions.

Zhuang Zhongjie's "unity" is reflected in the fact that the government sets up the stage and enterprises sing the opera. He said that the local government is stepping up the implementation of the normalized township cadre enterprise system, and regularly carrying out discussions and exchanges. "We also 'please come in and go out', including leading enterprises to study and exchange with enterprises in other provinces, inviting the person in charge of the clothing manufacturer to enter the town, visiting the workshop to see the fabric on the spot, and skipping the middlemen to place orders."

Driven by the "national tide", Hongqiao Town's textile industry output value has exceeded 2 billion yuan in the previous year. Zhuang Zhongjie pointed out that in the future, Hongqiao Town will continue to meticulously build a Chinese jacquard base, so that the local jacquard industry can improve its popularity and help enterprises occupy more markets.

In the midsummer of July, when the wind is warm and the day is long, a new starting point has been opened in Changxing.
