From cotton to yarn, there are 13 processes; from yarn to gray cloth, at least 8 processes; from gray cloth to printing and dyeing, 11 processes; from cloth to clothes, 8 processes…
This is just the “front-end industry” in the capital’s textile and clothing industry chain. The textile and apparel industry is the industry with the longest single industry chain, involving many links from spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, production, to brand marketing management, channel management, logistics and distribution, retail terminals, etc.
The textile and clothing industry is one of the industrial clusters that the capital focuses on cultivating. If we want to make the industrial cluster bigger and stronger, we must deploy the innovation chain around the industrial chain and lay out the industrial chain around the innovation chain.
Gather efforts to extend the chain and plan an innovation chain
Roses, chrysanthemums, willow leaves, poplar leaves, pomegranate peels, grape pomace, onion peels… these flowers and plants are all excellent for plant dyeing in the eyes of Han Jingmin, general manager of Urumqi Silk Road Shixiang Culture Technology Co., Ltd. dye.
A piece of natural pure white gray cloth went through 11 processes and became a printed and dyed silk scarf when it arrived in Han Jingmin’s hands.
“For this type of printed and dyed silk scarves, we adopt a custom-order production method.” Han Jingmin said.
How to broaden sales channels was once a problem faced by Han Jingmin. It was the integration of culture and tourism that gave her new ideas to adhere to the dual integration of the industrial chain and innovation chain and extend the textile industry chain.
Han Jingmin is no longer limited to developing cultural and creative products, but also allows tourists to participate in hand-made cultural creation. She built a six-and-a-half-acre plant dyeing handicraft cultural and creative park in Tianshan Village, Qinggeda Lake Township, High-tech Zone (New Urban District), which integrates picking, handicrafts, dyeing, and leisure. Visitors can pick grass and flowers from the fields, dye the handkerchiefs, and print and dye the cloth themselves to create handkerchiefs.
“The extension chain not only broadens product sales, but also allows more people to remember the beauty and culture of Urumqi.” Han Jingmin said.
Urumqi Jinlu Wumei Clothing Culture Co., Ltd. not only designs and produces costumes, but also develops performance costumes, gowns and other costume rental business. Ma Rui, the company’s designer, said that with the continuous development of Xinjiang’s cultural undertakings and regional tourism, the demand for performance clothes and gowns has increased. They have extended the industrial chain and made a fuss about clothing rentals.
Thanks to chain extension and chain replenishment, the capital has accelerated the development of the textile and garment industry towards the entire industry chain. In the next step, we will focus on strengthening the foundation of high-end fabrics, home textiles, and industrial textiles to extend the textile and apparel industry to the high end of the industrial chain.
Gather energy to strengthen the chain and strengthen scientific and technological research
With the development of the textile and apparel industry, shortcomings have gradually emerged: the lack of key core technologies and the low technology conversion rate. In response to this problem, our city encourages core enterprises to accelerate various forms of technological research and independent innovation.
In the computer workshop of the knitting factory of Xinjiang Tianshan Textile and Garment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Tianshan Textile”), each intelligent equipment is running, one machine after another The needle shuttles up and down to form a loop of cashmere thread, which becomes the sleeves or body of the cashmere sweater after a few processes.
This process may seem simple to laymen, but it requires technical personnel and quality control personnel to strive for excellence. Ayuf Harik, 55, is a technician and quality controller, and is also the deputy director of the knitting factory.
Machine-woven cashmere sweaters are woven in pieces and then combined into ready-made garments. However, Ayuf Harik found that there is always some color difference in the open collar part. These color differences cannot be seen by non-professionals, but he kept reading the information. , consulted experts, and after hundreds of experiments, finally overcome this problem.
“Over the years, we have seen more and more technological innovations like this. For example, how to make cashmere sweaters more supple are our research and development directions.” Ayuf Harik said.
Technological innovation has stimulated the vitality of Tianshan Textile. Today, the company’s Tianshan, GTS and other series of products are distributed in more than 20 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China.
This is not an isolated case. Relying on superior resources, textile and garment enterprises in the capital adhere to the leadership of science and technology and forge the “long board” of the industrial chain.
Li Yumei, chairman of Xinjiang Yutai Camel Hair Textile Co., Ltd., said that relying on Xinjiang’s high-quality camel hair, we can tap into “characteristics” to improve corporate competitiveness and increase the added value of products. The company’s R&D team is led by three well-known experts at home and abroad. It invests nearly 5 million yuan in R&D funds every year. It currently has 21 patented technologies and continues to extend the camel hair product industry chain.
Diligently cultivate internal strength and optimize innovation ecology
The key to strengthening the industry is to improve the overall level of the industrial chain.
This year, Urumqi will increase the mutual integration of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain and innovation chain, rely on the industrial chain to continuously expand the innovation chain, and strengthen the complementation, strengthening and expansion of each industrial chain.
To create advantageous industrial clusters, we must gather projects, but also conserve the ecology, retain talents, and retain projects.
In the construction of entrepreneurial communities, a list of industrial support policies will be sorted out according to the actual development needs of different industries, focusing on the implementation of various support policies, establishing a dynamic management system, and opening up the “last mile” of support policy implementation.”.
The transformation and upgrading of traditional industries such as the textile and apparel industry are inseparable from policy support.
This year, Urumqi will give full play to the role of the “unveiling the list and taking charge” mechanism in scientific and technological innovation research, and further refine the relevant details of the “revealing the list and taking charge” project funding and talent service guarantees , to further improve system processes, fund allocation, docking services, etc. Qualified talents and teams that are listed on the list will enjoy talent subsidies, platform construction, training incentives, entrepreneurship support, innovation incentives, financial support, and employment of family members in accordance with the relevant regulations on talent work in this city. font>Preferential policies for talents in areas such as education, medical care, etc., continue to stimulate new potential for “uncovering the list and taking charge” to overcome difficulties, and enhance the overall development level of the industrial chain.
