Henan Super Large Printing And Dyeing Park Will Be Approved Soon

Henan has cultivated and expanded 7 trillion level advanced manufacturing clusters and 28 100 billion level modern industrial chains, with the main battlefields in provincial cities, counties and cities. Textile and clothing is one of the hundred billion level industrial chains. In recent years, Zhoukou City has forged long boards through digital empowerment to break through blockages and improve energy levels, initially forming a whole industrial chain of textile and clothing.

Precise investment promotion

The industrial scale is the first in the province. There are nearly 1500 textile and clothing enterprises, including 290 textile and clothing enterprises above designated size, accounting for about one fifth of the total number of textile and clothing enterprises above designated size in the province. In 2022, the operating revenue will be 64.92 billion yuan, accounting for 25.2% of the total number of textile and clothing enterprises in the province;

The production capacity is leading in the province, with an annual spinning volume of 870000 tons, 81000 tons of knitted fabric, 900 million meters of woven fabric, and an annual processing of 900 million pieces of various clothing. The clothing category covers nearly 500 types, including leisure clothing, medical clothing, and so on. The products are shipped across the world.

The project of Henan (Zhoukou) Green Printing and Dyeing Demonstration Industrial Park is about to be approved. It is estimated that the annual industrial added value of the city will exceed 5 billion yuan by 2025.

Behind these figures is the textile and clothing industry chain in Zhoukou, whose supporting facilities are becoming more perfect and constantly transforming and upgrading.

In Zhoukou, a piece of silk and a piece of cloth linked thousands of households and converged into a huge industrial cluster with an output value of nearly 70 billion yuan.

The textile and clothing industry started earlier in Zhoukou, which is one of the six traditional pillar industries in Zhoukou. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was once an important textile base in eastern Henan. The famous Zhoukou Yarn Mill had tens of thousands of employees at most, making great contributions to the development of the region.

After the reform and opening up, with the adjustment of industrial structure and market impact, Zhoukou textile and clothing industry suffered from transformation pains and huge pressure, and once went into recession.

Since the establishment of Zhoukou as a city, especially in recent years, successive municipal committees and governments of Zhoukou have continuously adjusted, upgraded and optimized the layout of the textile and clothing industry, and actively undertaken the transfer of real estate industries in Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shanghai, etc. The textile and clothing enterprises gradually withdrew from the central urban area, took deep roots in various counties and cities, and continued to grow. The "old industry" was rebuilt, revived, and developed vigorously.

These enterprises are mainly concentrated in Shangshui, Taikang, Fugou, Xiangcheng and other places. In terms of industrial layout, each county should reasonably plan its development priorities to avoid excessive overlap of industries. A hundred flowers bloom in spring.

Today, from textile dyeing to garment production, hundreds of processes required for a garment can be completed in this city.

In early spring, when we walked into the Yinxin Cotton Production Workshop in the Advanced Manufacturing Development Zone of Taikang County, we saw that all the links from cotton to yarn were taken over by intelligent equipment. After winding, winding, packing and warehousing, the production line keeps running at full load.

"The raw material of our products is Xinjiang cotton, which is mainly 50, 60, 80 and 120 pieces of high-end combed compact spinning, favored by customers and in short supply." Zhang Dongsen, deputy general manager of Yinxin Cotton, told reporters.

Li Pingguo, the general manager of Henan Ouqide Garment Co., Ltd., who also does textile and clothing business with Taikang, has also made good achievements recently: the order has been placed in June this year since the start of the New Year.

Unlike Yinxin's focus on "textile", Ouqide focuses on the processing of "clothing". This company from Nantong, Jiangsu Province, is an important production base of Uniqlo in Henan Province. Most of the brand clothing produced by Uniqlo is pure cotton, which is not only sold to major small and medium-sized cities in China, but also exported to the United States, the European Union and other countries and regions.

Relying on "China's Famous Cotton Textile City", Taikang County vigorously develops the cotton textile industry, introduces production enterprises matching the industrial cluster, and reaches the peak of "blossom on the spot", becoming the highlight of the entire industrial chain.

　　 Break through the blocking points, supplement the chain and strengthen the chain

"One piece of cotton goes in, one set of ready made clothes goes out". In Shangshui County, the charm of the whole industry chain is displayed in front of reporters.

In Shengtai Textile Industrial Park, AGV unmanned carrier is running on the electronic automatic transfer track. It shuttles back and forth between the textile, printing and dyeing, and clothing workshops. From the cotton when entering the factory, the yarn just spun, to the dyed cloth, cut and shaped clothing, it constantly transmits the materials and finished products of the previous link.

The whole park is like a multi-functional integrated cooking robot. As long as the raw materials are input and the demand is stated, the textile and clothing products with different tastes and "heat" can be generated in one click.

In the garment workshop, the staff calls out a garment pattern from the computer and sends it to the intelligent cutting bed. Two minutes later, the production of sleeves, chest, back and other garment pieces is completed. "We also have our own intelligent printing and dyeing factory and sewage treatment plant. The park integrates spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, clothing and e-commerce, which is very rare in the province." Feng Sen, a textile worker from Zhoukou Shengtai, said.

The upstream raw materials of the textile and clothing industry chain are natural fiber materials such as cotton, linen, wool and silk, and chemical fiber materials such as man-made fibers and synthetic fibers; The middle processing links are divided into spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing; The downstream production links of finished products are garment design and garment processing. Among them, the "horizontal" printing and dyeing between textile and clothing is the key to linking the whole industry chain.

Henan is a big province in textile and garment industry, but not in printing and dyeing industry. In recent years, with the further increase of environmental protection efforts, some small and medium-sized enterprises that do not meet the requirements withdraw from the market, and the downstream layout of the textile and clothing industry chain is missing.

"The textile and clothing industry is a traditional industry with advantages in Zhoukou. It has a good foundation, sufficient resilience and wide space. It is necessary to develop an industrial development plan with high standards around chain building, extension, supplement and strengthening, integrate advantageous resources, make fine market segmentation, and promote the formation of a textile and clothing industry cluster with reasonable layout, distinctive characteristics and complete chain system." Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress Zhang Jianhui, Secretary of Zhoukou Municipal Party Committee, said.

From revitalizing the printing and dyeing industry as a breakthrough, Zhoukou City plans to open up the whole industrial chain of textile and clothing:

——In combination with the carrying capacity of water resources and the capacity of water environment, the scale of printing and dyeing industry was rationally distributed, more than 30 small and medium-sized printing and dyeing enterprises were improved and shut down, and 68 backward printing and dyeing equipment were eliminated.

——It guides the development of printing and dyeing enterprises. There are 8 existing and under construction printing and dyeing enterprises, involving knitting fabric printing and dyeing, towel dyeing, woven fabric printing and dyeing, and special functional fabric printing and dyeing, with a design capacity of 1.09 billion meters, accounting for 31.5% of the total design output of the province.

——The Henan (Zhoukou) Green Printing and Dyeing Demonstration Industrial Park project to be approved is located in Shangshui County. It is equipped with 70000 m3/d printing and dyeing professional sewage treatment plant and tail water constructed wetland project. It has the advantages of developing the printing and dyeing industry due to its convenient transportation and multimodal transportation of highway, railway and water.

——Through precise investment promotion, business investment promotion and industrial chain investment promotion, we can connect with high-quality enterprises inside and outside the province. Zhejiang Red, Green and Blue Textile Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd. signed a cooperation agreement with the Shangshui County Government. More than 10 enterprises, including Wujiang Shenghong Group and Foshan Youlong Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd., are communicating and negotiating to make up for the shortcomings of printing and dyeing in building a 100 billion level textile and clothing industry.

At present, around the chain supplement, chain extension and chain strengthening, Zhoukou City has initially formed a whole industrial chain led by Alban, Shengtaihaobang Textile, Zhuangji Clothing, Shuitian Clothing, Yinxin Cotton, Ruineng Clothing and Hat, Changmao Textile, which integrates "R&D - spinning - weaving - dyeing and finishing - fabric - clothing", driving Zhoukou textile and clothing industry into a new period of rapid development.

On February 18, the first day after the Spring Festival holiday, Shanghai Mercury Home Textile Industrial Park in Taikang County was launched. This is a key project of the county to "anchor home textiles, develop terminals and shape brands". When completed and put into production, it is expected to produce 160 million meters of high-grade cotton home textile printing and dyeing fabrics, 11.25 million sets of home textile kits, and an annual output value of 3 billion yuan.

Major projects entered the chain precisely, bringing new vitality to the development of enterprises on the chain. For many local upstream enterprises, this is just an opportunity to break through the "bottleneck" of the value chain, which will create more possibilities for the development of enterprises and the entire industry chain.

　　 Smart change and digital transformation keep pace with the times

A complete industrial chain comes from the accumulation and development step by step.

When settling in Shangshui in 2012, no one could predict that the small factory, which was unknown at that time, would become a leading enterprise with more than 11000 industrial workers and many branches in China. The technological level was constantly improving, the transformation and upgrading were accelerating, and the export earnings ranked first in Zhoukou City.

We came to Henan Arben Garment Co., Ltd., and the modern atmosphere that came to us conveyed the pulsating melody of the innovative development of the textile and clothing industry.

"The company has independently developed more than 800 production management software, collected 600000 to 700000 pieces of data from the daily operation of the enterprise, and realized the digitization and application of the whole production process." Qian Juan, the company's responsible person, introduced.

From the traditional clothing production mode to the exploration of production informatization and intelligent transformation, the change of Alban clothing comes from the internal demand as well as the pressure of market competition.

With the continuous expansion of the scale, enterprise managers found that their equipment and technology could not keep up with the pace of rapid development. To maintain the quality, we have to give up some orders.

"At this time, we realized that relying solely on the traditional clothing production model can no longer meet the needs of enterprises for high-quality development, and transformation and upgrading is a must," said Wu Lixia, chairman of Henan Alben Garment Co., Ltd.

Following the steps of the staff, we stepped into the intelligent workshop of Alban, and the self-developed intelligent production management system helped the technicians achieve the traceability management of production information in each section. The workers only need to sit on the station and operate the clothing hanging system to deliver the clothes to be processed directly to them, which greatly improves the overall efficiency.

With the support of big data, enterprises can also provide personalized customized services according to customer orders to meet the needs of more consumers. "This was unimaginable before. In the past, if an order was not enough to open a separate production line, enterprises would have to regret missing it. After the intelligent transformation, even these small batch orders that follow the trend and pay attention to timeliness, we can firmly grasp." Qian Juan said.

The change is not just in Alban. Under the pressure of complex and changing global situation, rising comprehensive costs, higher environmental protection requirements, and rising labor costs, enterprises are transforming and industries need to upgrade.

The revitalization of Zhoukou's textile and clothing industry should also keep pace with the times. On the one hand, through "digital integration", Zhoukou City improves the independent innovation ability of enterprises and promotes the development of enterprises in the direction of intelligence and digitalization; On the other hand, the high-end and branding of textile and clothing products are taken as an important starting point to enhance the toughness of the industrial chain.

The textile and clothing industry has been deepening its "smart transformation and digital transformation". Set up special funds for intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry to support projects such as intelligent workshops, intelligent factories and industrial Internet platforms; Organize textile and clothing enterprises to carry out cooperation and exchange with well-known institutes in the industry; It signed a contract with Huawei to establish an industrial Internet application operation center to help textile and clothing enterprises transform and upgrade.

In the past three years, the city has cultivated one national "quality benchmark", seven high-tech enterprises, 16 provincial-level specialized and special new enterprises, seven intelligent factories, 23 intelligent workshops, and 11 textile and clothing enterprises have successively gone to the "cloud".

The brand of "Zhoukou Weaving" has gradually taken shape. Fugou County was rated as the "National High Quality Cotton Production Base County", Taikang County was successively rated as "China's Famous Cotton Textile City", "China's Emerging Textile Industry Base County", and "China's Filament Weaving Industry Base". Xiangcheng City accounted for 60% of the country's production of logo clothing and medical clothing orders, and created famous trademarks such as "Polaris", "Songxin", "Yuankang", and "Yazijie".

"Taikang County is a big cotton spinning county. There are more than 10000 air jet looms, water jet looms and circular looms. The production capacity of knitted fabrics has begun to take shape. It is completely feasible to make good use of the advantages of raw materials to build a production base for Chinese sanitary wear in the future." Li Gang, president of Henan Garment Industry Association, said.

Xiangcheng garment enterprises expand their sales through live selling

With looms flying and silk threads crisscrossing, a hundred billion level industry has quietly "knocked on the door". Zhang Yingbo, director of the Zhoukou Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, said that Zhoukou will focus on the "three products" strategy of increasing varieties, improving quality and creating brands, earnestly implement the three-year action plan of the key industrial chain of the textile and clothing industry, accelerate the development of the textile and clothing industry to scale, brand and intelligence, and strive to break through 100 billion yuan of industrial scale by 2025.
