"Our orders are sufficient, and it is estimated that the output value this year will reach 200 million yuan (RMB, the same below)." The factory director Xu Bing said on the 20th.

Guangxi Tongsheng Textile Co., Ltd., invested and constructed by Foshan Xixinya Textile Co., Ltd. in Guangdong Province, is a comprehensive production enterprise integrating textile, dyeing and shaping. The first phase of the project will be completed and put into operation in June 2022, and the second phase is under construction. "We will fully grasp the opportunity of the eastern textile and clothing industry transfer, make good use of Pingnan County's location, land resources, labor and other advantages, and build a brand enterprise in a new fashion district that is green, low energy consumption, and high production." Xu Bingming said.

The China (Guigang) Textile and Clothing Fashion New Area (hereinafter referred to as the Fashion New Area) where Guangxi Tongsheng Textile Co., Ltd. is located, with a total area of 60.58 square kilometers, is one of the largest textile and clothing industry chain bases in China. The core and main parks of the Fashion New Area are located in Pingnan County. At present, 259 enterprises have been introduced, with a total contract investment of more than 34.5 billion yuan. 115 enterprises have been started construction, 36 have been completed and put into production, forming a one-stop production line for printing and dyeing, ironing sweaters, and accessories markets.

The textile and clothing industry is China's traditional pillar industry, an important livelihood industry and an industry that creates new international advantages. In recent years, Pingnan County has seized the favorable opportunity of industrial transfer in the east, based on the development idea of "strengthening the leading role, supplementing the chain and gathering the cluster", relying on the unique geographical advantages and good business environment, focused on building a fashion new area, and focused on building a modern high-end textile and clothing innovation cluster that radiates ASEAN through attracting strength and precise undertaking.

Guigang Nolan Clothing Co., Ltd., invested and constructed by Dongguan Oujiate Clothing Co., Ltd., Guangdong Province, was established in September 2019 and officially put into production in October 2022. "We mainly produce various knitted garments for women. After the project reaches its capacity, we can produce 3 million pieces of wool garments annually. At present, all our products are sold to foreign markets," said the person in charge of the enterprise.

Zhou Jianhua, President of Guannan Group, has been engaged in the wool weaving industry for more than 20 years. Driven by him, more than 100 textile, clothing, dyeing and finishing, wool weaving equipment manufacturing enterprises from Dongguan, Guangzhou, Wenzhou, Kunshan and other places have settled in Pingnan County. "Guangxi is the front position connecting the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area and ASEAN, and has great advantages in industrial undertaking and capacity gathering. The prospect of developing the textile and clothing industry is promising," he said.

At present, most of the enterprises in the Fashion New Area are transferred from the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. Pingnan County actively guides eastern enterprises to achieve win-win cooperation in creating an upgraded version of "East to West" through technology upgrading, equipment upgrading and process upgrading. "Many enterprises in the Fashion New Area have been put into production in succession. Instead of transferring the outdated equipment and processes in the Dawan District to Pingnan, they have realized technological upgrading and process upgrading in the process of relocation. Industrial transfer is also an industrial upgrading," said He Zhongwu, the head of Pingnan County Textile and Clothing Industry Development Center.

According to Huang Qinqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Pingnan County Committee, head of the United Front Work Department and deputy head of the county, Pingnan County strives to achieve the goal of achieving a total output value of 150 billion yuan in textile and clothing industry, driving 1 million people to find jobs, and building a 100 billion yuan textile and clothing industry cluster in about 10 years.
