Henan Province has cultivated and expanded 7 trillion-level advanced manufacturing clusters and 28 100-billion-level modern industrial chains. The main battlefields are in provincial cities, counties and cities. Textile and clothing is one of the hundreds of billion-level industrial chains. In recent years, Zhoukou City has forged long boards through digital empowerment, opened up blocking points and improved energy levels, and initially formed a complete textile and clothing industry chain.
The industrial scale ranks first in the province. There are nearly 1,500 textile and garment enterprises, including 290 textile and garment enterprises above designated size, accounting for about one-fifth of the total number of textile and garment enterprises above designated size in the province. The operating income in 2022 will be 64.92 billion yuan, accounting for 25.2% of the province’s total;
The province leads the province in production capacity, with annual spinning capacity of 870,000 tons, knitted fabrics of 81,000 tons, and woven fabrics of 900 million meters, and annual processing of 900 million pieces of various types of clothing. The clothing categories cover nearly 500 types of casual wear, medical clothing, etc., and the products Across the ocean, shipped to all parts of the world.
To clear up the blockages in the printing and dyeing process and introduce a development plan for the printing and dyeing industry, the Henan (Zhoukou) Green Printing and Dyeing Demonstration Industrial Park project is about to be approved. It is expected that the city’s annual industrial added value will exceed 5 billion yuan in 2025. ……
Behind these figures is Zhoukou’s textile and apparel industry chain, which is becoming more and more complete and undergoing continuous transformation and upgrading. In Zhoukou, a piece of silk or a piece of cloth connects thousands of households, forming a huge industrial cluster with an output value of nearly 70 billion yuan.
The textile and garment industry started early in Zhoukou and is one of the six traditional pillar industries in Zhoukou City. In the 1970s and 1980s, this was an important textile base in eastern Henan. The famous Zhoukou Cotton Mill sometimes had tens of thousands of employees, making great contributions to regional development.
After the reform and opening up, with the adjustment of industrial structure and market impact, Zhoukou’s textile and garment industry suffered from the pain of transformation and tremendous pressure, and for a time it became sluggish.
Since its establishment as a city, especially in recent years, successive municipal committees and municipal governments of Zhoukou have continuously adjusted, upgraded and optimized the layout of the textile and garment industry, and actively undertook industrial transfers from Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shanghai and other places. Textile and garment enterprises gradually withdrew from the central city and took root deeply in various counties and cities, and continued to grow. The “old industry” was reshaped, 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. Hundreds of flowers are blooming, forming a garden full of spring scenery.
Today, from textile dyeing to garment production, hundreds of processes required for a piece of clothing can be completed in this city.
In early spring, I walked into the Yinxin Cotton Production Workshop in the Advanced Manufacturing Development Zone of Taikang County. I asked and looked around and saw that all aspects of blow cleaning, carding, drawing, and spinning, from cotton to yarn, are in full swing. The whole process is “taken over” by intelligent equipment. Each piece of fine white yarn is wound, wound, packed and stored in the warehouse, and the production line is always operating at full capacity. “The raw materials of our products are all Xinjiang cotton, mainly high-end combed compact spinning 50-count, 60-count, 80-count, and 120-count, which are favored by customers and are in short supply.” Zhang Dongsen, deputy general manager of Yinxin Cotton, told reporters.
Li Pingguo, general manager of Henan Ouqide Clothing Co., Ltd., who also does textile and clothing business in Taikang, has also had good performance recently: not long after the start of the new year, orders have been scheduled for June this year.
Unlike Yinxin, which focuses on “textile”, Ouqide focuses on the processing of “clothing”. This company from Nantong, Jiangsu Province is an important production base of Uniqlo in Henan. Most of the brand clothing it produces are pure cotton. It is not only sold to major, medium and small 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 and introduces production enterprises that match the industrial cluster. “Blooming at every turn” has reached its peak and has become a shining point in the entire industrial chain.
Open up blocked points, repair links and strengthen links
“One piece of cotton comes in, and a set of ready-made clothes comes out.” In Shangshui County, the charm of the entire industry chain is displayed in front of reporters.
In Shengtai Textile Industrial Park, AGV unmanned trucks are busy on the electronic automated transfer track. It travels to and from the textile, printing and dyeing, and garment workshops. From the cotton entering the factory, the newly spun yarn, to the woven and dyed cloth, and the cut and shaped clothing, it constantly conveys the materials of the previous link and the current link. of finished product.
The entire park is like a multi-functional integrated cooking robot. As long as the raw materials are input and the requirements are stated, which flavor and “heat” of the textile and clothing products can be generated with “one click”.
In the garment workshop, the staff calls up a clothing pattern from the computer and sends it to the intelligent cutting bed. Two minutes later, all sleeves, chest, back and other garment parts are produced. “We also have our own smart printing and dyeing factory and sewage treatment plant. The park integrates spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, clothing, and e-commerce. This is extremely rare in the province.” Feng Sen, a staff member of Zhoukou Shengtai Textile explain.
The upstream raw materials of the textile and clothing industry chain are natural fiber materials such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, and chemical fiber materials such as man-made fibers and synthetic fibers; the midstream processing links are divided into spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, and post-processing; the downstream finished product production links are clothing Design and garment processing. Among them, “horizontal”The industry needs to be upgraded. Revitalizing Zhoukou’s textile and garment industry must also keep pace with the times. On the one hand, Zhoukou City uses “digital integration” to improve the independent innovation capabilities of enterprises and promote the development of enterprises in the direction of intelligence and digitalization; on the other hand, the high-end and branding of textile and apparel products are an important starting point to enhance the resilience of the industrial chain.
The “intelligent transformation to digital transformation” of the textile and garment industry continues to deepen. Establish a special fund for the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry to provide support for smart workshops, smart factories, industrial Internet platforms and other projects; organize textile and apparel companies to carry out cooperation and exchanges with well-known institutions in the industry; sign a contract with Huawei to establish an industrial Internet application operation center to assist textile and apparel Enterprise transformation and upgrading.
In the past three years, the city has cultivated 1 national-level “quality benchmark”, 7 high-tech enterprises, 16 provincial-level specialized and special new enterprises, 7 smart factories, 23 smart workshops, and 11 textile and garment companies have successively entered the “cloud” “. The “Zhoukou Weaving” brand gradually formed. Fugou County was rated as “National High-Quality Cotton Production Base County”, Taikang County has been rated as “China’s Famous Cotton Textile City”, “China’s Emerging Textile Industry Base County”, “China’s Filament Weaving Industry Base”, Xiangcheng City’s iconic clothing, medical care The production share of service orders accounts for 60% of the country’s total, and it has created famous trademarks such as “Polaris”, “Songxin”, “Yuankang” and “Yazijie”.
“Taikang County is a major cotton spinning county. It has more than 10,000 air-jet looms, water-jet looms, and circular knitting machines. Its knitted fabric production capacity has begun to take shape. If we make good use of the advantages of raw materials, it is completely feasible to build a Chinese sweatshirt production base in the future. .” said Li Gang, President of the Henan Garment Industry Association.
With the loom spinning and the threads criss-crossing, a billion-dollar industry has quietly “knocked on the door.” Zhang Yingbo, director of the Zhoukou Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, said that Zhoukou City will focus on the “three products” strategy of increasing varieties, improving quality, and creating brands, conscientiously implement the three-year action plan for the key industrial chains of the textile and apparel industry, and accelerate the promotion of the textile and apparel industry to scale. , branding and intelligent development, and strive to exceed 100 billion yuan in industry scale by 2025.
