Industrial Cluster: Xuzhou'S High-End Textile Industry Moves Towards A New Journey Of High-Quality Development

The Pulutong high-quality vortex spinning project in Suining Economic Development Zone, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, sees an orderly production scene. Here, the highly automated production line is running at full speed, the machinery and equipment are operating efficiently, and the workers are cooperating with the intelligent system to jointly promote the smooth implementation of this major industrial project.

High end textile industry is one of the three characteristic innovation industrial clusters in Xuzhou "343" innovation industrial cluster. In recent years, Xuzhou has concentrated its efforts on strengthening the high-end textile industry. Through a series of measures such as strengthening overall layout, highlighting the cultivation of large and strong, and focusing on scientific and technological innovation, it has built a high-end textile innovation industry cluster with more brand competitiveness and market influence. In 2024, the city's high-end textile industry will have an output value of 35.85 billion yuan above the designated size, with a year-on-year growth of 21.9%, ranking first in the "343" innovation industry cluster, far higher than the national level. At present, the whole high-end textile industry in Xuzhou has entered a stage of rapid growth.

Overall layout and dislocation development

Construct a new pattern of textile industry cluster

The rapid development of the textile industry in Xuzhou cannot be separated from the continuous optimization of the industrial layout. Through the precise implementation and overall planning of the municipal party committee and government, a complete industrial chain has been built, providing a mature industrial support for the landing layout of all links of the textile industry, and improving the overall competitiveness of the industry.

At present, Xuzhou has successfully constructed three core areas of textile industry with Peixian County, Suining County and Xinyi City as the core, and formed the spatial layout of five characteristic textile clusters, namely Fengxian County, Pizhou City, Tongshan District, Jiawang District and Xuzhou Economic Development Zone. This strategic layout not only improves the implementation of various links of the industrial chain, but also further improves the scientific and technological content and overall competitiveness of Xuzhou's textile industry.

Peixian, as an important pole of Xuzhou's textile industry, focuses on the research, development and production of high-end green fibers. Through targeted investment promotion, Peixian County actively introduces complementary chain projects such as weaving, clothing and home textile, promotes the coordinated development of upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and forms a whole industrial chain layout.

Suining County focuses on strengthening the attraction of upstream staple fiber raw material projects, and actively strengthens the weak points in the weaving link by relying on the existing spinning, printing and dyeing capacity. At the same time, Suining County deeply cultivates brand clothing and trade fields, promotes industrial agglomeration and growth, and creates a textile industrial cluster with regional characteristics.

As a rising star in the textile industry, Xinyi focuses on attracting key link projects such as warp knitting and texturing to fill the gaps in the industrial chain. Through high standard construction, in recent years, Xinyi City has continuously improved the concentration of textile industry, refreshed the new speed of "intelligent transformation and digital transformation", and promoted the "rejuvenation" of textile industry.

Fengxian County, Pizhou City, Tongshan District, Jiawang District, and Xuzhou Economic Development Zone are based on their own resource endowments and industrial bases, and actively build characteristic textile clusters.

These industrial clusters have formed distinctive industrial advantages through differentiated and dislocation development, providing strong support for the overall development of Xuzhou's textile industry.

Scientific and technological innovation enables industrial development

Create a "strong force" in the textile industry

Intelligence is an important driving force for high-quality industrial development. In recent years, Xuzhou has actively implemented the strategy of "cultivating the large and strengthening the strong", vigorously promoted the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, applied big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies in production, focused on improving the core competitiveness of textile enterprises, and promoted the development of high-end textile industry in the direction of green, digital and intelligent.

As a leading enterprise in the textile industry of Xuzhou, Tianhong Group, with the support of the government, is making every effort to build a "Tianhong Town" in the whole industry chain; As a leading modern large chemical fiber enterprise in China, Xinfengming Group's advanced technology and management experience in polyester, staple and other fields has brought a strong impetus to Xuzhou's textile industry. Xuzhou will further take Xinfengming as the leader to improve the integrated industrial chain of polyester, staple, texturing, weaving, dyeing and finishing. At the same time, under the guidance of the government, Xiaoxing Group also accelerated its layout in high-end fields such as aramid and cord fabric, injecting new development impetus into Xuzhou's textile industry.

In order to cultivate more "invisible champions" in subdivided fields, Xuzhou City actively promotes enterprises to enter the national cultivation library of single champion in manufacturing industry, and the cultivation library of specialized and new "little giant". A number of enterprises such as Tianhong Intelligent are gradually growing into characteristic enterprises with core competitiveness through technological transformation and equipment upgrading.

While cultivating and strengthening enterprises, Xuzhou also pays attention to guiding textile enterprises to carry out technological transformation and enhance their competitiveness. Through the replacement of equipment cores, production lines, and machines, and the promotion of heat, water, and chemical recycling technologies, enterprises not only improved production efficiency, but also reduced energy consumption and operating costs, boosting enterprise transformation and upgrading.

In addition, it also actively promoted the "cloud platform" of enterprise core business systems and key equipment, and improved the management level and production efficiency of enterprises through digital transformation. Through the introduction of big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, many enterprises have achieved intelligent and refined management of the production process, laying a solid foundation for industrial transformation and upgrading.

Xuzhou knows that scientific and technological innovation is the core driving force of industrial development. To this end, actively promote Mingxin Menoka, Yinyu Textile and other enterprises to speed up technological breakthrough, solve the technical problems of enterprises in key materials, fabric preparation, process optimization and other aspects, and accelerate the formation of original and leading technological achievements. At the same time, we will accelerate the cooperation with universities and scientific research institutes, undertake the scientific research achievements of Donghua University, Jiangnan University and other universities, promote the project incubation and landing, and provide continuous technical support for industrial development.

In order to enhance the independent innovation ability of enterprises, Xuzhou City supports 12 enterprises, including Silke, Henghui, Yinfeng Textile, to build provincial engineering technology research centers and enterprise technology centers with high standards. These R&D platforms have constantly made new breakthroughs in the research direction of special knitting machinery, composite non-woven fabrics, functional fibers, etc., providing strong technical support for the development of enterprises.

Through these measures, Xuzhou is striving to create an innovative industrial ecosystem integrating R&D, incubation and industrialization, which provides a strong guarantee for the sustainable development of high-end textile industry.

Strengthen service guarantee

Create a "strong magnetic field" for industry development

Xuzhou is a "fertile land for investment and business development". In recent years, Xuzhou has continuously optimized its business environment, strengthened service guarantee through various ways, helped enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, and created a good external environment for the development of high-end textile industry.

This year, relying on the logistics convenience of the 4.1 million ton water transport terminal in Peibei Development Zone, we will innovatively set up port front warehouses and open port special lines to help enterprises reduce logistics costs and improve transport efficiency.

In order to help enterprises explore the market, Xuzhou has organized enterprises to participate in professional exhibitions at home and abroad for many consecutive years, and has built a display platform for enterprises, which has achieved remarkable results. This year will also continue to organize enterprises to participate in professional exhibitions to help enterprises grab orders and expand the market.

Xuzhou also actively seized the opportunities of "dual" and "two new" fields and a package of incremental policies to help enterprises win the support of national policy funds and provide financial guarantee for the development of enterprises.

At the same time, we will actively implement the financial discount interest policy for manufacturing loans, promote financial products such as "equipment financing" and "small and micro loans", provide diversified financing channels for enterprises, and solve their financing problems.

By optimizing the business environment and strengthening service guarantee, Xuzhou has created good external conditions for the development of high-end textile industry. In the future, Xuzhou City will continue to increase policy support, focus on the five key links of "making characteristic fibers bigger and stronger, consolidating and improving spinning advantages, upgrading the quality and weaving links, accelerating the breakthrough in green printing and dyeing, and vigorously cultivating terminal manufacturing", improve the industrial ecology, strive to achieve an output value of 45 billion yuan by 2025, and inject new vitality into regional economic development.
