Gao Yong: The wool textile industry must strengthen upstream and downstream linkage

From August 3rd to 4th, in 2011, the “Zixing Cup” national technology exchange forum for wool yarn and wool knitwear industry chain was held in Cixi City, Zhejiang Province. As the wool yarn and wool knitwear processing industry is the longest in the industrial chain in the textile industry, Gao Yong, vice president of the China Textile Industry Association, pointed out that the industry should continuously expand the scope of resource utilization, exchange innovative experiences, and promote upstream and downstream enterprises and equipment manufacturing enterprises. The communication between them will strengthen the linkage effect of industrial chain R&D and promote industrial transformation and upgrading.

The forum was jointly sponsored by China Wool Textile Industry Association and China Textile Machinery and Equipment Industry Association, and was organized by Ningbo Cixing Co., Ltd. Vice Chairman of China Textile Industry Association Gao Yong, Vice Mayor of Cixi City Hu Jianguo, Chairman of China Wool Textile Industry Association Peng Yanli, Deputy Chairman Huang Shuyuan, Chairman of China Textile Machinery & Accessories Industry Association Wang Shutian, Chairman of Ningbo Cixing Co., Ltd. Sun Pingfan, Representatives and experts from the upstream and downstream enterprises, industrial clusters, machinery manufacturing companies, and research institutes of the national wool and wool knitting industry participated in the forum.

The China Wool Textile Industry Association commended and awarded the medal to the company that won the title of “National Famous Brand of Wool Yarn and Wool Knitwear in 2011”.

At the meeting, Gao Yong analyzed the overall situation of China's textile industry on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the current situation of the development of wool knitting industry. He pointed out that as an important part of the wool textile industry, the wool yarn and wool knitwear processing industry has formed a complete supporting industrial system for the upstream and downstream industrial chains, and has the longest industrial chain, process technology, production management, equipment and equipment, and products. R & D, quality inspection and other aspects are closely related, complementary and have their own distinctive features. Therefore, this industry must achieve rapid improvement, and change from labor-intensive to quality-effectiveness. It must combine its own characteristics and advantages to expand the scope of resource utilization and strengthen communication and cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises and equipment manufacturing enterprises in the industrial chain. Promote industrial transformation and upgrading.

Peng Yanli analyzed the economic performance of China's wool and wool knitting industries in the first half of this year. She said that since the wool knitwear processing industry runs through the entire industrial chain from raw materials to terminals, it is extremely sensitive to changes in the outside world. Especially when the cost of production factors such as raw materials for wool is continuously rising this year, any problems in any link in the industry chain will affect the stable development of the industry as a whole.

The gross output value, production and marketing, export, benefit, and investment of the wool knitwear industry occupy a pivotal position in the wool textile industry. In 2010, the output value of the above-scale enterprises accounted for 41% of the national wool textile industry, and the export share reached 59%. According to incomplete statistics, the current annual output of wool knitwear in China is about 3 billion pieces, of which wool and cashmere products account for about 20%. In the knitting and weaving industry, there are nearly 250,000 enterprises above designated size with nearly 450,000 employees. 98% of the enterprises are small and medium-sized enterprises and home-based workshops, which are typically labor-intensive industries. Wool knitting processing is mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and other places, and has formed a production base and a professional market for small and medium-sized enterprises and supporting industries. The configuration of resources makes the effect of industrial clusters obvious.

When talking about the original intention of this forum with the China Textile Machinery and Equipment Industry Association, Peng Yanli said that the labor productivity of the wool knitwear industry has been low in the wool textile industry. Although the growth rate is faster during the 11th Five-Year Plan period, the annual average Labor productivity increased from 138,300 yuan/person to 236,100 yuan/person, and in 2010 it reached 289,500 yuan/person, but far below 402,400 yuan/person in the wool textile industry, and even lower than 460,100 yuan/yuan in the national textile industry/ people. The reason for this is mainly due to a lot of labor and poor efficiency.

According to statistics, the gross loss of wool knitwear companies reached 14.51% in 2010, which is the largest loss in the wool textile industry. Large processing companies only earn a small amount of processing fees, which results in low value-added products, fierce competition in product homogeneity, rising factor costs, changes in exchange rates, diversified sales channels, and lack of brand innovation capability. Not a fundamental change. Peng Yanli believes that it is imperative to comprehensively improve the overall level of the wool knit processing industry chain.

Wang Shutian gave a detailed introduction to the development situation of the domestic textile machinery industry. He believes that technological development is the basis for supporting the transformation and upgrading of enterprises. The application of new technologies will increase the profitability of enterprises, especially the popularization of automation equipment, and improve the industry and enterprises. Competitive Advantage. As the main equipment for processing wool knitwear, computerized flat knitting machines gradually replaced manual flat knitting machines with its excellent performance, simple operation, high efficiency operation, and diversity of color varieties, especially the shortage of labor resources. Change the pace of production of traditional equipment, reduce labor and delivery on time. At present, domestic computerized flat knitting machines have played an important role in the production of ordinary products, and have won the favor of the market with higher cost-effective advantages. The domestic equipment replaced some of the imported equipment, which greatly saved the cost of the company's upgrading. The increase in the demand for computerized flat knitting machines has led to the rapid development of the domestic computer flat knitting machine equipment manufacturing industry. At present, domestic and foreign computerized flat knitting machine manufacturers are in short supply. The continuous improvement of the industrial chain complete matching and the localization of automatic weaving equipment is precisely the advantage of China's wool knitwear industry.

The reporter learned from the forum that as the upstream raw material of the wool knitwear processing industry, the pace of technological innovation in the wool spinning yarn industry has been accelerating. At present, China has an annual output of about 670,000 tons of woolen knitting yarns and 21 woolen knitting yarn processing enterprises throughout the country. province. Although the processing companies are widely distributed, they have a high degree of concentration. The output of Jiangsu, Hebei, Shandong, Guangdong, Henan, and Zhejiang, which are the major concentration areas, accounts for 94% of the country's total. In addition, the processing characteristics of each region are quite obvious. Jiangsu ranks first in production capacity, complete categories of worsted, woolen, and semi-worsted, and large enterprises above designated size; Shandong Fucheng is the main production base for semi-worsted yarn; Zhejiang enterprises The scale is relatively small, but it is highly professional, and its product R&D and innovation capabilities are outstanding.

On the forum, representatives from Guangdong Dalang, Shandong Haiyang, Zhejiang Puyuan and other knitting industrial clusters, domestic wool knitting production enterprises, knitted machinery manufacturing enterprises, as well as representatives of Donghua University and Beijing Institute of Clothing entered extensive exchanges. The delegates agreed that the overall technological innovation of the industrial chain is the driving force behind the development of the industry. Wool yarns are the source of the wool knitting industry chain. With the advancement of technology and the acceleration of product development, the use of new materials, new processes, new technologies, and popular colors has greatly enriched the variety of colors of wool yarns; wool knitting equipment has been continuously renewed and transformed, accelerating innovative research and development, and enabling enterprises to produce products. The capacity has been greatly improved, which ensures the stability of the quality of wool knitting products and the improvement of product grades, laying a good foundation for the development of the wool knitting industry.
