"Jing" Caishi Prefecture Xiantao Pengchang Town: "Cloth" Spare Away to Weave "New" Patterns

Xiantao is the country's largest non-woven fabric production, processing and export base, but there are still problems such as low added value of products and short industrial chain. How can "a piece of cloth" break the situation? Let's go to "China's non-woven fabric characteristic town"-Xiantao Pengchang Town to have a look.

in the Xiantao Nonwovens Industrial Park Tuoying New Material R & D Center, R & D personnel are testing the performance of a new environmentally friendly material. Just a few months ago, it took them more than 2 years to develop a new product that was finally put into the European and American markets. Unlike ordinary protective clothing fabrics, this new product uses up to 70% recyclable materials while maintaining the same performance.

2021, the Hubei Nonwovens Technology Innovation Center settled in Pengchang Town. With this "circle of friends", companies have launched in-depth cooperation with universities such as Wuhan University of Science and Technology to transform innovative ideas into products.

Hubei Tuoying New Materials Co., Ltd.: "using more environmentally friendly materials is more sustainable for the development of the industry. Of course, it is inseparable from the support of colleges and universities. At present, environmentally friendly products account for 40% of our total sales."

Chen Zhengqiang, director of Hubei Nonwovens Technology Innovation Center: "Enterprises are relatively weak for research and development. The platform of the Innovation Center solves their difficulties and pain points. We have promoted more than 10 universities inside and outside the province and more than 30 small and medium-sized enterprises in the province. Including more than 20 Xiantao, we have carried out industry-university-research cooperation and have obtained more than 30 patents."

optimize the business environment, Pengchang Town actively introduced the chain extension project. The Taiwan-funded enterprise Youlimei, which was put into production half a year ago, mainly develops and produces sanitary napkin core materials, filling the gap in the nonwoven industry chain.

Youlimei (Hubei) Technology Co., Ltd., said: "The equipment can be put into production immediately after it comes in. For our cost, it is greatly reduced. Next year, our entire output value can reach about 0.5 billion yuan."

Pengchang, a small town with a population of less than 100000 people, has gathered more than 900 non-woven fabric companies, large and small, including 92 companies above the designated size. At present, in order to enhance the market competitiveness of the company, the local government has allocated 10 million yuan. Special funds, from foreign trade exports, overseas exhibitions, R & D and innovation, etc., give enterprises "real money and silver" awards.

and deputy director of the Administrative Committee of Pengchang Industrial Park: "Promote the transformation of research and development achievements, guide enterprises to transform to high-end medical treatment, fine-end medical beauty and front-end application, and accelerate the creation of a regional public brand of" Xiantao Non-woven Fabric."
