Remain curious about new knowledge and new technologies, and remain sensitive to new industries and new business formats. The textile and garment industry in Zibo City is putting this into practice.
On November 23, the Zibo Fiber and Textile New Materials Engineering Research Center, which had just been established for more than two months, was a little busy. Promotion of industrialization of plant printing and dyeing, determination of plant indigo content, research on key technologies for graphene heated and moisture-conducting composite fabric sportswear… At present, these key projects are being accelerated. “These professional terms may sound a bit difficult to understand, but they are closely related to people’s daily lives, such as the determination of plant indigo content. In layman’s terms, it is a natural dye extracted from plants such as isatis. It is non-toxic, harmless, and harmful to the human body. It has certain health care functions and is becoming more and more popular among people.” According to professional inspectors, the purpose of this technology is to identify whether textile dyes such as denim clothing are extracted from natural plants or chemically synthesized, and to determine their content, thereby effectively ensuring Consumer Rights.
It is not difficult to see from this that the implementation of every new technology provides a steady stream of regenerative power for the technological progress and innovation capabilities of the textile and apparel industry.
The textile industry is a pillar industry supported by Zibo City. For Zibo citizens, jacquard fabrics, silk fabrics, yarn-dyed denim, etc. have always been the industry’s leading products. “We have three major textile industry clusters named Zichuan, Zhoucun and Gaoqing named by the China Textile Federation. Zhoucun District and Zichuan District have won the title of ‘China Textile Industry Base’, and Gaoqing County has won the title of ‘China’s Famous Cotton Textile City’. Five companies, Lutai Textile, Lanyan Group, Yinshilai Textile, Dayanfang Silk and Shandong Woyuan New Fabrics, have entered the top 500 Chinese textile and garment industry in 2021.” During the interview, the Fiber Supervision Institute of Zibo General Institute of Inspection, Testing and Metrology Dean Shao Lei introduced.
The development trend of the textile industry is gratifying, but it also faces considerable difficulties and shortcomings: low innovation, insufficient talent support, rising factor costs, and blocked industrial chain extension… In the Communist Youth League located in Zhangdian District In the corridor on the 5th floor of the Quality Building on Qingdao Road, a panoramic view of Zibo’s textile and garment industry chain is particularly eye-catching. This year, the Zibo Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government issued the “Implementation Plan for Deeply Promoting the “Chain-length System” of the Industrial Chain”. The plan clarified that the textile and clothing industry chain has become one of the 20 key industrial chains for Zibo City’s development, and a textile and clothing industry chain has been established. The Industrial Chain Promotion Office and the Zibo Fiber and Textile Quality Monitoring Research Institute have specially selected a graduate student who is familiar with the textile business to work here. Currently, all work is being progressed in an orderly manner.
As a traditional industry, textiles and apparel must buck the trend and break through in the fierce market competition. Behind this, the “quality code” that promotes high-quality development must be indispensable. Compared with the past, the service content provided by relevant departments to enterprises has changed. At present, the most important thing is to provide technical support for extending, replenishing and strengthening the industrial chain by carrying out special work to promote the quality improvement of the textile and apparel industry chain. Through innovative work models and innovative industrial chain quality management service models, we provide all-round smart services for textile and garment enterprises in the city.
The biggest driving force for innovation-led development comes from the company’s own capabilities and strength, but the improvement of product quality is not unrelated to policy guidance and technical guidance.
Shandong Zhenqiao Warp Knitting Co., Ltd. is a typical case of promoting enterprise transformation and upgrading with innovative products. Chen Liyun, vice president of corporate technology, introduced that as a traditional textile company, starting from 2019, the company has realized the importance of research and development of innovative products, and has invested more than 9 million yuan, completed 4 invention patent applications, 15 utility model patents, warp knitting double The needle bed products of pure cotton, bamboo fiber, functional fiber, ethylene cool yarn and other products were successfully produced, with a genuine rate of over 97%, reaching the advanced level in the industry; dyeing and finishing fully realized low liquor ratio dyeing, saving energy. Consumption is about 20%. “After the new project was put into operation, we eliminated the original warp knitting equipment, introduced all domestic advanced equipment and new data management systems, and completed the construction and operation of the intelligent workshop.” Chen Liyun said that during the critical period of transformation and upgrading, as Zibo Textile and Garment As the company’s “product quality appraiser”, the Municipal Fiber Supervision Institute has established various physical index testing standards for the innovative products developed by the company and completed the testing work. It also provides professional guidance and sharing of technical information and industry resources, which is helpful to the company. Very helpful.
In the process of providing services to the city’s textile and garment enterprises, the Municipal Fiber Supervision Institute implements “Internet + standardization + inspection and testing + brand creation + industry promotion” all-round services, using Internet technology to provide testing appointments for enterprises , standard inquiry, consumer warning, industry information and other services, a “Brand Cloud Exhibition” was opened for the city’s textile and garment enterprises. At the same time, the Qilu Quality Brand Forum and the Luzhong Quality Brand Micro Platform public account were created, and more than 2,600 textile and apparel business inquiries were posted, providing a communication platform for consumers and textile and apparel enterprises.
The Third Plenary Session of the 13th Zibo Municipal Party Committee proposed to deepen the conversion of old and new driving forces and accelerate the promotion of high-quality development. The textile and garment industry in Zibo City is contributing in its own way: taking the construction of a new industrial ecology as the main line, promoting industrial clustering, high-end, and brand development as the path, based on Zibo City’s industrial advantages, and deeply promoting the upgrading of the industrial base, Modernize the industrial chain and strive to create a new era textile pattern that is technological, fashionable and green.
