Walking into the Textile Park of Yinchuan High-tech Industrial Development Zone, cashmere spinning machines roared in the factory. Major companies are working at full capacity to produce, rush orders, and expand production capacity through technological innovation. The launch of a number of projects such as Zhejiang Xinao, Guobin Yaqi, and Shunchang Linen have brought vitality to Lingwu City’s modern textile industry.
“44% of the world’s cashmere raw cashmere, 58% of the plush-free cashmere, 65% of the country’s velvet strips, and 15% of the cashmere yarn come from here.” May 24, Yinchuan High-tech Industry Zhu Gengsheng, deputy director of the Development Zone Management Committee, said that five years ago, Lingwu cashmere industry experienced a “cliff-like” decline due to factors such as cross-field investment by companies and weak brand competitiveness. Faced with the dilemma, Yinchuan High-tech Industrial Development Zone responded calmly by implementing measures such as “slimming down, reducing debt, and optimizing and restructuring”. Since May 2019, the output value of the textile industry has bottomed out and has significantly improved.
In December 2019, Zhejiang Xinao Textile Co., Ltd. acquired the cashmere yarn segment of the original Ningxia Zhongyin Cashmere Industry Co., Ltd. and established Ningxia Xinao Cashmere Co., Ltd., while maintaining the original Zhongyin Cashmere Yarn Co., Ltd. high production level of the line.
“After taking over the cashmere yarn segment of Ningxia Zhongyin Cashmere Industry Co., Ltd., the company comprehensively upgraded its production technology and equipment, and achieved a total industrial output value of 800 million yuan last year.” Director of Ningxia Xinao Cashmere Co., Ltd. Chang Wanghua introduced that with the help of the Ningxia Science and Technology Department, the company has established the only high-level engineering technology research center in the cashmere industry in Ningxia to develop new technologies, new processes, and new products around major key and common technical issues in the development of the cashmere industry. development. In 2021, the company produced 1,576 tons of yarn and achieved an export delivery value of US$25 million.
In the C3 production workshop of Ningxia Xinzhongrong Cashmere Garment Co., Ltd., the computerized flat knitting machine newly ordered by the company ran quickly under the installation and debugging of the staff, and the cashmere yarns were quickly woven. It became pieces of cashmere sweater fabrics. From cashmere yarn to cashmere garments, there are more than ten production processes such as carding, dyeing, spinning, and weaving. Computerized flat knitting machines mainly play a role in the knitting process, which can not only improve the efficiency of garment production and processing, but also save a lot of manpower and costs.
In April last year, Ningxia Xinzhong Cashmere Garment Co., Ltd. officially settled in Yinchuan High-tech Industrial Development Zone. Through restructuring and reorganization, it successfully took over the production and processing project of 5 million cashmere sweaters from the former Bank of China Company. In the second half of 2021 alone, the company completed 240,000 cashmere knitted products, with sales reaching 21 million yuan.
The successful settlement of Ningxia Xinao Cashmere Co., Ltd., Xinzhongrong Cashmere Garment Co., Ltd. and other companies in the high-tech zone is one of the silhouettes of the rebirth of the Lingwu textile industry.
The Lingwu textile industry has experienced more than 40 years of development. It has developed from initial acquisition, trafficking, and carding into a complete industrial chain integrating spinning, fabrics, and garments, realizing the transition from primary processing to The transformation to deep processing, primary products to high-end products, and loose management to industrial cluster development has shown a positive development trend of total volume growth, efficiency improvement, and brand resounding.
In 2021, the modern textile industry in Yinchuan High-tech Industrial Development Zone completed a total industrial output value of 1.181 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 65.17%. The output value is expected to be 2.1 billion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 77.8%, gradually forming a modern textile industry chain with distinctive, complete, market diversification and strong competitiveness using cashmere, linen and mixed fibers as raw materials.
