Filament Weaving, A Vibrant Industry

In the late 80s of last century, the production of mulberry silk in China was affected by multiple factors.

In August 19th, the China filament weaving Association held the first China member's Congress in Shengze town of Wujiang, and successfully held the development forum of China chemical fiber filament weaving industry, attracting nearly 300 members' representatives and relevant experts and scholars to listen and communicate at the scene.

If the establishment of the China filament weaving association has made the relevant enterprises feel at home, then this industry development forum has given them a better vision and confidence in this family and the industry.

Three vitality to increase industry development confidence

For China

First of all, filament weaving industry is one of the most dynamic industries in China's textile industry.

In the 90s of last century, with the rapid development of chemical fiber raw materials production, China's chemical fiber filament weaving industry has been developing rapidly.

Over the past 10 years, the output of China's filament weaving machine has been developing at an average annual rate of 20%. In 2010, the annual output of filament weaving machine was nearly 30 billion meters. It has become the second largest woven fabric industry next to the cotton industry.

In the course of development, China's filament weaving industry shows obvious regional agglomeration characteristics, and a large number of backbone enterprises and enterprise groups have emerged, such as Hengli Group, Fuhua weaving, Zhejiang Tiansheng, Suzhou ambition, Taihua special textile, Bashan group and so on.

These enterprises have implemented a comprehensive coverage of the development mode of enterprises, demonstrating the obvious effect in developing products, innovating technology and developing markets. The rapid growth of backbone enterprises has brought great impetus to the development of the industry as a whole.

Second, the filament weaving industry is one of the most dynamic industries in China's textile industry.

China's filament weaving enterprises are mainly private enterprises, and industrial development is at the critical stage of the reform from single mode to diversified mode. Therefore, enterprises have clear property rights and clear responsibilities, and enterprise management can adopt the current corporate governance mode and carry out business activities in the context of marketization and normalization.

The attention of enterprise development can focus on market demand, focus on product development, technology upgrading and industrial upgrading, constantly meet market demand, and ultimately ensure the healthy development of enterprises.

China's filament fabrics have been coming to the world for many years.

In 2010, China's total silk fabrics exported 7 billion 696 million meters, an increase of 16.49% over the same period last year, and the export amount reached 6 billion 746 million US dollars, an increase of 27.63% over the same period last year.

In the first half of this year, cotton fabrics and staple fabrics were affected by the fluctuation of cotton prices, and export growth slowed down.

This indicates that China's filament weaving industry already has strong international competitive advantages, and on the other hand, it reflects the good substitution between industries, which has contributed to the comprehensive, balanced and stable development of China's textile industry.

At present, more than 70% of China's filament weaving industry is still in the domestic market. Production processing and trade are mainly concentrated in Shengze, Wang Jiangjing, Changxin, Shaoxing, Jinjiang and other regions. After many years of careful cultivation, the main long silk market, such as the famous Silk Market in the East and the southern silk market, has been formed.

The mature stability and huge throughput of the domestic market not only promote the scale development of the enterprises, but also promote the enterprises to actively carry out deep processing, fine processing, and continuously improve the quality of the products in order to meet the market demand.

Thirdly, filament weaving industry is one of the most vibrant industries in China's textile industry.

Over the past 10 years, the spinning technology of the upstream industry has been developing rapidly. Fine denier yarn, super fine denier yarn, profiled filament yarn, multi component composite yarn and various new materials have been spun out continuously, providing abundant raw material resources for the technological innovation of the filament weaving industry.

At the same time, the demand for high-performance, multi-functional and multi-purpose fabrics in the downstream market has also provided a strong impetus for the technological innovation of the filament weaving industry.

At present, the shuttling rate of filament weaving industry is close to 100%, which is higher than that of cotton wool and silk hemp industry.

Other new technologies such as jacquard weaving and fabric composite technology are widely used. The development of printing and dyeing finishing technology is very active.

Silk weaving industry cluster has its own characteristics.

Reporters learned from the forum that China's filament weaving industry showed obvious regional agglomeration characteristics. In addition to a small number of large enterprises in Shandong and Jiangsu, Northern Jiangsu and other places, the silk weaving industry was mainly concentrated in Shengze Town, Wujiang City, Huzhou city Changxing County, Jiaxing City, Jiangsu District, Wang Jiang Jing Town, Shaoxing County, and Fujian Town, Fujian province.

According to the survey, in 2010, the output of filament fabric in Jiangsu Wujiang City reached 11 billion meters, the output of silk fabric in Xiuzhou area reached 5 billion meters, the output of Changxing County filament fabric reached 4 billion 500 million meters, the yield of Shaoxing silk fabric reached 780 million meters, and the total output of four sites had exceeded 70% of the total output of the whole country.

Therefore, at this forum, Wujiang Shengze, Huzhou Changxin and Jiaxing Wang Jiangjing local government personally led the team to participate in the meeting, fully demonstrating the different development characteristics and strong strength of the three industrial clusters.

Wang Yibing, mayor of Shengze Town, said that at present, the town has more than 2400 enterprises and more than 120 thousand shuttleless looms. It produces 10 billion meters of textile products, 2 million 500 thousand tons of spinning capacity, and 3 billion meters of printing and dyeing capacity.

After more than 20 years of development, China's Eastern Silk Market has reached 4 square kilometers, and more than 6500 silk merchants from all over the country gathered in the field, operating more than 10 large categories and thousands of varieties of textiles.

In 2010, the market volume reached 71 billion 80 million yuan, and the market turnover for 6 consecutive years ranked first in the same professional market in the country.

Wang Yibing believes that Shengze can not lie on its existing advantages and must go out of the way of innovation that is in line with local realities.

Shengze must highlight the "three innovations" in the future development. First, highlight the service innovation and grasp the project construction so as to ensure that the investment in fixed assets of the whole society will increase by 26%~33% to 9 billion 500 million yuan this year, and strive to reach 10 billion yuan, of which the fixed assets investment in industrial projects will strive to break through 6 billion 500 million yuan.

Two, we should highlight scientific research and innovation, promote industrial upgrading, vigorously develop key projects and common and key technologies that support structural adjustment and industrial upgrading, apply high and new technologies and advanced and applicable technologies to carry out the pformation of high starting point, and improve the overall level of the textile industry.

We should guide enterprises to increase investment in scientific and technological innovation through technological pformation, and build a number of high level R & D platforms with enterprises as the main body.

Enterprises should be encouraged to establish strategic alliance of production, learning and research with tertiary institutions and scientific research units, so as to raise the level and level of cooperation and promote technological progress of enterprises.

Three is to highlight the carrier innovation, enhance paction efficiency, speed up the upgrading of the market, improve the progress of comprehensive engineering construction, strive to achieve the upgrading of the market hardware carrier, and realize the pformation of the textile paction marketing mode.

We should focus on expanding the market share and attracting investment, and actively create favorable conditions, and strive to strengthen the raw material market and color market, further enrich the market connotation and expand the market extension.

Vigorously develop e-commerce, and expand the invisible market.

Strive to achieve annual sales of over 80 billion yuan, the exchange turnover of 40 billion yuan.

At this forum, Changxing County won the title of "China's famous silk weaving city" and held a ceremony of awarding.

This heavy plaque is of great significance, indicating that Changxing County became the first famous professional city after the establishment of China filament weaving Association. It is called "the first city of China's filament weaving".

Yao Chuqiang, chairman of Changxing County Textile Association, was very excited at the forum. He told reporters that textile has always been an important livelihood industry.

The textile industry in Changxing County has a long history and a large scale, accounting for 1/3 of the total economic volume of the county. It is one of the main suppliers of home textile fabrics, garment accessories and curtain fabrics. It produces nearly 3 billion 600 million meters of fabric, nearly 260 thousand tons of chemical fiber and nearly 1 billion 300 million meters of printing and dyeing cloth, and has the advantages of chemical fiber, weaving, clothing, home textile, warp knitting, textile printing and dyeing, textile machinery and so on. At present, there are more than 50 thousand people engaged in textile and related industries.

Speaking of the future development of Changxing County, Yao Chuqiang said, on the one hand, we should speed up the upgrading of the filament weaving industry, and accelerate the pformation of chemical fiber raw materials from low value-added to high value-added.

From the single function to the multi-function, the printing and dyeing process has changed from "high input, high energy consumption, high volume and low efficiency" to "low cost, low emission, high technology content and high added value".

On the other hand, we should speed up the adjustment of the industrial structure, and focus on the development of high-tech environmental protection, health care and multi-functional products through the extension and supplement of the industrial chain, and carry out the corresponding development of all kinds of fire-retardant, antistatic, multi-functional and green degradable fiber materials. With the application of green fiber such as hemp fiber and bamboo fiber, the efficiency of resource utilization can be improved, and the balance between supply and demand of resources can be achieved.

In addition, we should cultivate new growth points in textile industry, and actively extend to knitted fabrics, knitted garments, household textiles and decorative fabrics, and cultivate and develop industrial textiles with high technology content and high added value.

Chen Tianrong, Secretary of the Party committee of Wang Jiang Jing Town, said that the textile industry of Wang Jiang Jing town has formed a relatively complete industrial chain from raw materials, weaving, printing and dyeing and finishing, and the effect of industrial cluster has initially appeared.

Chen Tianrong said that during the "12th Five-Year" period, Wang Jiang Jing town will take the advantage of "industrial + market" cluster characteristics, combine the pilot work of provincial small cities' cultivation, take large platforms, big industries, large projects and large enterprises as the orientation, and speed up the pformation of textile industrial clusters to modern textile industrial clusters with high added value, high technology content, high industrial concentration, low energy consumption and low pollution. By 2015, we will achieve the goal of "four modernizations" of scale, internationalization, rationalization and high technology of textile industry.

Effective response to problems in development

Reporters learned in the interview that the filament weaving industry has made rapid progress in more than 20 years, but it also faces many problems, which directly affect the pformation and upgrading of the industry.

Chen Jianhua, chairman of Jiangsu Hengli Group, told reporters that there is a contradiction between market demand and product structure adjustment in the development of filament weaving industry at present.

The path of global economic recovery is long and changeable.

The change of market demand is gradual. Generally speaking, the adjustment range of product demand structure will not improve significantly in the short term.

The product structure of the external demand market has not been substantially adjusted, and the product structure of the domestic demand market has not changed qualitatively. This contradiction between demand and adjustment has led to the development of the weaving industry as a whole.

A small number of enterprises' first try and their successful cases can not represent the overall situation of the entire weaving industry.

Chen Jianhua believes that a very important point is that the pformation and upgrading of the operation and management of filament weaving enterprises should enhance the upgrading of technology upgrading and management upgrading simultaneously, and put the construction of technological innovation system in a prominent position.

Small and medium-sized enterprises and large enterprises should have differences in the construction of innovation system.

Small and medium sized filament weaving enterprises should focus their innovation resources on product innovation, make more efforts in product diversity, avoid direct competition with large and medium-sized enterprises, especially cost competition. Large and medium sized enterprises, especially those with long industrial chains with chemical fiber, weaving and finishing, should extend their technological innovation system to product innovation. They should pay more attention to the breakthroughs in common technology and key technologies that affect and decide the development of filament weaving industry at present and in the future, especially pay attention to collaborative innovation in the industrial chain.

Huang Zhixiang, chairman of Zhi Xiang Textile Science and Technology Co., Ltd., said that the company is a cold resistant fabric supplier with emphasis on R & D, small production and strong service. For many years, the company has been focusing on creating the business strategy of "Smiling Curve" at both ends, forming a modern textile service type enterprise.

In recent years, they have been self motivated by the requirements of the leader of China's cold resistant fabric, and have worked closely with the tertiary institutions in the industry to introduce academicians and doctorate of the Chinese Academy of textile engineering into the R & D team, and jointly develop products with European and Asian textile experts to create a differentiated brand operation mode while enhancing the technological content of products.

At present, the company has men's casual wear brand "cool husband", women's fashion fabric brand "Yi Wei Xin", top grade business fabric brand "goodday family" and low carbon environmental protection functional fabric brand "XINGMAX". The product has expanded from high-grade, fashionable and casual fabrics to low carbon environmental protection and functional fabrics, and has created the most professional textile material service platform for the majority of garment enterprises.

At present, the company aims to establish a strategic cooperation mode between the upstream and downstream industry chain alliances. It has close to 50 supply chains, and develops more than 500 new products every year. The quality of fabrics is in the leading position in the industry, and realizes the company's "alliance value creation" business philosophy.

The aim is to radiate from Shengze to Beijing, Shanghai, Hongkong, Guangzhou, Dalian, Keqiao, Changshu and other major textile markets with 11 service offices to provide fast and convenient services to our customers.

According to the reporter, in recent years, many textile enterprises in Shengze have made remarkable achievements in the development of popular fabrics. In order to make better use of their advantages, in 2010, 100 enterprises in the Shengze area devoted to the research and development of popular fabrics jointly worked together, and established the China Eastern Silk Market popular fabric alliance, strengthened information communication, and jointly investigated the market, so that the whole region's product development work went up to a higher level.

Last year, 141 of the 93 enterprises in the League were selected for China's popular fabrics, which further enhanced the visibility and market influence of Shengze and China's Eastern Silk Market.

Environmental problems make silk weaving enterprises generally feel pressure in development. Ding Yunfa, chairman of Zhejiang three Zhi Textile Co., Ltd. introduced the practice of energy saving and emission reduction in the forum. Energy saving and emission reduction has brought about realistic social and economic benefits for the three companies.

After many years of research, three Zhi textile company has achieved zero discharge of sewage.

After the company's sewage treatment system was put into use, according to the monitoring data of the local environmental protection bureau, the sewage discharged from the company's sewage treatment facilities was discharged and reused. The energy saving and emission reduction effect of the system was obvious.

The operation of sewage treatment system has saved a lot of water resources for enterprises.

According to the current water consumption of 300 water looms, the company uses 1300 tons of water per day and produces 330 tons of water for 429 thousand tons a year.

According to the current price of 4.5 yuan per ton of industrial water in Changxin, enterprises have to pay 1 million 930 thousand and 500 yuan for water charges.

However, through the recycling of sewage treatment, only 13% supplementary water per day can fully meet the needs of production water, and the annual industrial water consumption can be reduced by 373 thousand and 200 tons.

The cost of processing and reuse is 1.45 yuan per ton, which can reduce expenditure by 1 million 138 thousand and 500 yuan. The annual output of COD is 283.28 tons. Through the recycling of sewage treatment, the COD emission can be reduced by 18.66 tons. According to the Changxing County textile industry's COD emission trading benchmark price 30 thousand yuan per ton, it can achieve 559 thousand and 800 yuan in economic efficiency.

With the high participation and high enthusiasm, this extraordinary forum reflects the great charm of the future development of the industry, attracting more enterprises to join in, and striving to promote industrial pformation and upgrading.
