  　  依托溫州制鞋業的特色優勢，把制鞋基地建到海外，溫州民企正大舉在境外投資。記者昨向市外經貿局證實，目前，越來越多的溫州鞋企走出國門建設工業區，在歐洲、西非、中亞等全球各地建設“溫州鞋都”，一個廣遍全球的溫州民企制鞋網絡正在形成。

   　 在烏茲別克斯坦，甌海南龍制革廠等5家溫州鞋企抱團投資3000萬美元建設的“中亞鞋都”，以成品鞋的研發和生產為主，瞄準中亞新興市場。待2012年整個工程投用后，園區將擁有年制鞋400萬雙的生產能力。在非洲大陸，溫州哈杉鞋業有限公司投資5億元，在尼日利亞拉各斯萊基自由貿易區建設占地400畝的“非洲鞋都”，園區于3至5年內建成后，預計日產鞋達近20萬雙，將成為非洲最大的制鞋基地。目前，哈杉鞋業在西非已擁有1500多個營業網點，成為西非第一大男鞋品牌。

    　把制鞋基地以工業園區的形式建到俄羅斯，康奈集團是第一家到境外辦工業區的溫州民企。去年年底，由康奈集團等多家企業牽頭組建的俄羅斯烏蘇里斯克經貿合作區，獲得國家商務部評估確認。作為我國在俄投資的首個經貿合作區，目前，該合作區已吸引了18家中國企業入駐，其中12家為溫州民企，主要以鞋企為主。康奈集團董事長鄭秀康介紹，初步估算，今后合作區鞋企的年生產能力可望達3000萬雙皮鞋，成為俄羅斯的一大制鞋基地。

In the usurusk economic and trade cooperation zone, the shoe manufacturers from Wenzhou adopt the cross border chain production mode, that is, to produce semi-finished products at home, export at low tariffs, and then assemble and sell products in the cooperative area.

"Our products can be sold not only in Russia but also in the main markets of the EU," she said.

Zheng Xiukang said that in the usurusk economic and trade cooperation zone, the shoe companies from Wenzhou registered Russian trademarks and entered the international market with the status of "made in Russia".

The Russian usurusk economic and trade cooperation zone, led by Wenzhou private enterprise Kangnai group, is becoming a successful model for domestic enterprises to go out together.

From simple product output to capital export and from "made in China" to "world manufacturing", this cooperation zone has brought a big start to domestic enterprises in developing international market at a higher level.
