Quanzhou Textile Industry Relies On Innovation To Tide Over Crisis

Fujian does not produce cotton and oil, but has an annual output of not less than 3 million spindles, and has hundreds of billions of dollars in output value. Quanzhou also has at least 800 thousand spindles of spinning capacity. For example, Fujian Hongyuan Group and Fujian Feng Zhu textile Polytron Technologies Inc are nearly 5000 employees, and they are large textile enterprises. Due to the financial crisis, the upstream industry chain of Quanzhou's clothing and footwear industry has also been badly hit by Quanzhou's textile industry. Not long ago, the state included the textile industry as the pillar of the ten revitalization and livelihood industries. Inspired by this policy, the textile industry in Quanzhou is actively coping with the cold winter and preparing for the arrival of the spring of textile industry. The textile and garment industry is a labor-intensive industry and a livelihood industry. Today, as an important industry in Quanzhou to solve the problem of labor employment, it is also a fresh force for Quanzhou to gather people and drive local consumption and housing rental industry. A few days ago, in Fujian Hongyuan Group, located on the side of the tree of Quanzhou's main bridge, a lot of applicants were watching. According to the introduction, Fujian Hongyuan Group has 160 thousand annual spinning production capacity and 2 garment factories with 5 million annual output. Chen Cangsong, vice-president and party secretary of the group, said many people erroneously believe that Quanzhou has no textile industry. Actually, this is not the case. After 20 years of development, Quanzhou textile industry already has huge capacity and output value. Chen Cangsong believes that this aspect shows that Quanzhou's demand for textile industry is strong, and on the other hand, it illustrates the hardships of Quanzhou's textile industry. In 2000, Quanzhou had only 15 thousand spinning capacity. In response to the financial crisis, the China Textile Industry Association recently sent two groups of people to Quanzhou for research and held two Quanzhou textile industry symposiums. Chen Cangsong believes that this proves that Quanzhou's textile industry has a certain position in China's textile industry. According to statistics, in 2008, the output value of Quanzhou's textile industry reached 108 billion yuan, and the textile and garment industry employs more than 500 thousand people. It can be said that the rise and fall of the industry has great influence on the development of Quanzhou's economy. In the face of the crisis, the cost of innovation and the influence of many factors at home and abroad have led to a general decline in the profits of Quanzhou's textile industry last year. "But everyone is practicing internal skills. Chen Cangsong said that in 2007, the company's output value was more than 800 million yuan, and its export volume was $90 million. In 2008, the export volume and profits of the company declined by 20%. This year, we have made adjustments to increase the service to the rural middle and low grade clothing market, while increasing the functional development of textile fabrics and the production and investment of green textile products. It is learnt that Fujian Hongyuan Group has attached great importance to talents and technology in the early days of its founding in 2000. It has attached special importance to cooperation with universities and scientific research institutions and developed textile products with their own patents. At present, Hongyuan Group also produces far-infrared textiles, negative ion textiles and cool silk textiles in addition to producing traditional fabrics. The complete production line of bamboo fiber textile with independent property rights will be put into use in the second half of the year. Fujian Hongyuan Group will use the development of bamboo fiber textiles and patented products of new technology as the fist product to welcome the spring of textile industry. It will replace imported high-grade fabrics and belong to green and environment-friendly textiles. It is estimated that by 2010, Fujian Hongyuan Group will produce 50 thousand tons of bamboo fiber textile products per year. Chen Cangsong also revealed that the provincial economic and Trade Commission, the provincial science and technology department and the Quanzhou municipal government will convene the first International Symposium on bamboo fiber technology and application in Quanzhou on the 24 th of this month, so as to further improve the research and application level of this technology. Feng and bamboo textile are currently "practicing internal strength", mainly to control costs, innovation and technology development. Chen Feng, general manager, believes that there is a market for innovation. Everyone should wear clothes. There is no sunset industry. Only the setting sun enterprises are good at providing better quality products, more suitable products and better services. It is gratifying to note that in the case of tight money, the textile industry has been listed as an important pillar and livelihood industry in the country. This means that the textile industry will receive state support and support in the next few years. In this regard, Chen Cangsong believes that the state's support policy is of great significance, and we look forward to supporting the details of the textile industry earlier. And Feng Zhu textile Chen Feng thought that this is mainly supported by confidence. Fujian Hongyuan Group and phoenix bamboo textile are being renovated office buildings, ready to recruit soldiers. Chen Cangsong said that Fujian Hongyuan Group is a responsible enterprise. The company believes that reducing staff and reducing wages are irresponsible for employees. The company has convened two workers' Congress and proposed "three no policies" without layoffs, no arrears of wages and no pay cuts. At the same time, Donghua University also recruited talents and increased enterprise talent reserves. Chen Feng, however, revealed that the management and technical personnel of some small and medium sized textile businesses were moving to the company, and they needed to recruit their employees.
