Outstanding industrial advantages
Future prospects are promising
During the round table discussion, Lu Fei, deputy division chief of the First Division of the Corps, member of the Party Leadership Group and deputy mayor of Aral Municipal Government, secretary of the Party Working Committee and director of the Management Committee of Aral Economic and Technological Development Zone, Ji Jianbing, vice chairman of the China Industrial Textile Industry Association, and experts, scholars and entrepreneurs attending the meeting discussed how to better develop the nonwoven industry in Aral.
Li Hongtao introduced the advantages and prospects of developing Aral nonwoven industry. Alar City is located in the geographical center of southern Xinjiang, with unique geographical advantages. The Economic and Technological Development Zone is the only national economic development zone of the South Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, and one of the four major comprehensive textile and clothing industrial bases in Xinjiang. There is a nonwoven industrial park in the park. The development zone has obvious advantages in electricity price, water, sewage treatment, steam and other production factors, and the nonwoven industry enjoys a series of policy subsidies such as equipment, sales and employment. Alar has the most complete textile materials, and is the only one of the five provinces in northwest China with three major raw materials, namely cotton, viscose fiber and polyester fiber. There are 3 colleges and universities here, with sufficient talent resources. For the future development of nonwoven industry, Li Hongtao said that Aral will focus on promoting the cluster development of cotton spunlaced, viscose spunlaced, needle punched nonwovens and products based on the idea of "large-scale, terminal and branding", relying on cotton, viscose, polyester staple fiber and other raw materials. Vigorously attract cotton soft towels, wet wipes, diapers and other end products. Promote brand value and devote to building the largest nonwoven industrial base in western China.
Jin Xiangyu, a professor of Donghua University, suggested that we should make good use of the advantages of Xinjiang's raw materials, tell a good story about cotton, and expand the spunlace, acupuncture, composite and other processes on the basis of technology. Products should be differentiated to improve functionality. To be a brand, we should cooperate with mainland enterprises to develop products for vehicles, engineering construction and environmental protection. Explore new sales models in the market. At the same time, we will cultivate a group of professional talents who understand the specialty, have technology and are good at marketing. Cultivate specialized and new enterprises, and build an industrial cluster with Bingtuan characteristics.
Zhang Ruquan, professor of Wuhan Textile University, proposed that to give full play to the advantages of raw material structure and expand the application field of nonwovens, we can combine Xinjiang culture and tourism to develop special products.
