Jinjiang Textile Enterprises Compete For "Filament" New Blue Sea

At the just concluded "6. 18", Fujian's "Hong Hong poly Fiber Technology Industrial Co., Ltd." super Imitation cotton. Polyester fiber "Filament development project" signed at the scene, the investment amount of 450 million yuan has become the largest contract project in Jinjiang. According to Qiu Dahong, deputy general manager of the company, under the background of frequent fluctuations in cotton prices, the project combines cotton characteristics and polyester characteristics to form new filament fiber varieties, and its performance exceeds cotton and can replace cotton products. At this point, the product chain of Bai Hong extends from differential staple to filament fiber.

Not only is Bai Hong invested heavily in R & D of filament fibers. Over the past two years, Xincheng group, Longfeng textile, Sanford, southern weaving and many other Jinjiang textile enterprises have also aimed at the field of filament fabrics, and have intensified their production efforts to seize the new market.

At the beginning of this year, the establishment of China's filament weaving association increased the confidence of Jinjiang textile enterprises in the development of filament weaving industry.

"Cotton price" fluctuation "filament" instead

Since the beginning of the year, the workshop of Jinjiang Southern Weaving Co., Ltd. has been in a tight state of production. According to Wang Xiaozhuo, Minister of production department of the company, there was hardly any free time in the first half of the year. Southern weaving mainly produces filament fabrics and low elastic fabric products. It is reported that in the first half of this year, the company's orders for filament fabrics increased by about 50% over last year.

"Both old and new customers. Some new agents have been making cotton products before, and since last year cotton prices fluctuated too much, they began to contact us and introduce some filament fabric products. Last year, the proportion of the two categories of products accounted for half of the company, and the proportion of filament products began to increase gradually this year. Wang Xiaozhuo analysis, cotton price fluctuations make the market unbearable, affecting the sale of cotton fabrics, agents have chosen silk fabric to replace.

Statistics from China textile net show that last week, the new and old varieties of filament fabrics in China Light Textile City increased alternately, and customers' dealings were more than in the middle of the year, and the total volume continued to rise. So far, the market volume of filament fabrics has been rising for nearly two months in China's textile city.

"The continuous rise in volume indicates that silk fabrics have been playing a leading role in the market. As chemical fiber products, filament fabrics also have their own unique advantages, for example, the production efficiency of filament fabric is about twice as high as that of cotton products, and the flexibility of functional treatment is more flexible. It can be widely used in many fields, especially in home textiles and industrial textiles. " Many textile enterprises such as Tai Lung cloth have said.

Accelerating capacity expansion

450 million is only the first investment of the "super Imitation cotton polyester filament development project". According to Qiu Dahong, in fact, the total investment of the project is expected to reach 1 billion 500 million yuan, and it will be completed in three phases. It is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2013. The company Filament fiber The market is quite promising. "Quanzhou is the base for sportswear, and we believe that the development of these new products will be beneficial to the development of the upstream and downstream industry chain."

The investment of upstream projects of raw materials enterprises in such upstream industry chain comes from the demand of downstream fabric enterprises. As early as the second half of last year, Jinjiang fabric enterprises have begun to expand their capacity and seize the silk fabric market.

In October last year, southern weaving spent tens of millions of dollars on advanced Japanese equipment. After commissioning and transformation, these equipments have been put into use gradually. According to Yang Guoqing, manager of the Technology Development Department of the company, these imported new water jet looms are shuttleless looms that use jet water columns to draw weft across the shed. "Water jet weft insertion has larger frictional traction force than weft insertion, and has less diffusivity, which is suitable for smooth surface. Synthetic fiber And the need for weft insertion of glass filament. The introduction of new equipment made the silk fabrics woven in the South more functional and laid the foundation for the company to open up the market.

In addition, it is understood that the Sanford Textile Industry Co., Ltd., the largest weaving enterprise in Jinjiang Longhu Town, will continue to introduce thousands of equipment this year, when the company's machinery and equipment will exceed three thousand units. Similarly, Xincheng group is planning to build additional machines.

"Filament fabrics are increasingly dominant. In the right time, enterprises should also actively adjust their product mix and continuously increase the development of filament fabrics, which is a new driving force for enterprise development and a new growth point of profits." Xincheng group office director Zhong Xingdong said. {page_break}

Looking forward to R & D exchanges

For Jinjiang textile enterprises, who are planning long-term development in the field of filament fabrics, the establishment of China filament weaving association is undoubtedly a gospel.

It is reported that the management of chemical fiber filament weaving industry is responsible for the Chinese cotton textile industry association and the Chinese yarn dyed Trade Association. Based on the rapid development of the filament weaving industry in recent two years, the China Textile Industry Association established the "China filament weaving Association" in March this year to promote technological progress in the industry. It is expected that the first general meeting will be held in August.

"Over the past two years, the weaving industry has developed rapidly, but the industry's development planning, industry management, technological progress, economic and market operation, and so on, are unable to get systematic research, planning and integration because of the lack of national industry organizations. Now the establishment of the association is equal to the establishment of the platform for the exchange of industries, which is good for the rapidly developing filament weaving enterprises. China textile town Longhu town enterprise office said. It is reported that Xincheng, southern weaving, Sanford, three yuan and many other parent silk weaving enterprises have reported relevant information.

Among them, Xincheng group, South Textile and other textile enterprises all expressed the hope that after the establishment of the association, they could often hold some research and development exchanges and docking meetings. "Now there are official organizations. I hope that the future countries can introduce some targeted support policies according to the actual development of the industry, especially in terms of technological innovation. We hope that the association will take the lead in organizing industrial technical exchange meetings, and invite textile experts and university talents to take the pulse of business development. It is suggested that such exchanges be held annually in different regions so as to truly benefit enterprises across the country.

Explanation of terminology

Filament weaving industry: there are many types of filament weaving industry, including chemical fiber filament yarn dyed fabric, synthetic filament yarn dyed jacquard cloth, chemical fiber filament fabric, chemical fiber filament dyed fabric, chemical fiber filament printed cloth, etc., collectively referred to as chemical filament yarn weaving machine. Chemical fiber filament machine weaving is divided into synthetic filament filament weaving machine (such as polyester, nylon, spandex, acrylic fiber and more than two kinds of synthetic fiber interwoven fabric), artificial fiber filament machine weaving (such as viscose, modal, copper ammonia, acetic acid, solvent viscose long silk cloth and more than two kinds of people slender silk weaving fabric) and other fiber filament weaving fabric (such as synthetic fiber and human fiber and other fiber filament, short fiber interwoven cloth). These products can be widely applied to many fields, such as garments, home textiles and industrial textiles.
