Dongguan Footwear Industry Alliance Helps Shoe Companies Expand EU Market

January 17th hearing

In April 2009, the French CTC Group invested RMB 4 million yuan to establish footwear quality inspection center in Songshan Lake.

The CTC shoe leather professional technology center is a specialized agency accredited by the French national level. It is directly involved in the formulation of the European footwear industry technology access standard. It provides footwear, leather products inspection reports, inspection and research and development services to international traders worldwide.

So far, there are more than 1500 shoemaking enterprises in Dongguan, and more than 5500 shoe manufacturers and equipment manufacturers have been matched. In 2008, Dongguan exported 540 million pairs of shoes, but only 61 million 510 thousand pairs of shoes exported to the EU, accounting for only a little more than 10%.

The arrival of the authoritative inspection center is undoubtedly the gospel of Dongguan's footwear industry to accelerate the expansion of the EU market.

Xu Liqing said that at present, there are more than 50 scientific and technological R & D institutions in Songshan Lake Park, some of which are set up by high-tech enterprises in the park, and also 9 branches of research institutes, including the Institute of manufacturing engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Guangdong Electronics Industry Research Institute, Guangnan Industrial Design Institute, and Electronic Information Engineering Research Institute of University of Electronic Science and technology of China.

The Dongguan science and Technology Bureau is preparing to take the 9 research institutions as the core and integrate the "Dongguan industrial alliance" to organize 300 experts from different fields to provide a one-stop service for Dongguan's industrial pformation and upgrading, including comprehensive funds, management, high-end talents and technical support.
