Some people say that independent innovation is the life of an enterprise and the foundation for an enterprise to survive difficulties and gain a firm foothold. Indeed, this seems to be more obvious in spinning companies this year. It can be seen that in the overall poor environment of the textile market, many textile companies that produce ordinary pure cotton yarn are facing problems such as insufficient orders, inventory backlogs, and production shutdowns. At the same time, with their excellent innovative research and development capabilities, some companies The differentiated products of spinning companies are not worried about sales, and orders are even increasing instead of decreasing.
Spinning companies entering the post-epidemic era also know that relying on “price wars” to win orders will not work. Only by innovating products and taking a differentiated path to meet the diverse needs of customers can we go further. In fact, spinning companies at the forefront of the industry have never stopped innovating, and they have accelerated their variety development in 2020. So how do they act and layout?

Dasheng Group: Smart spinning mill produces differentiated products
On December 13, Jiangsu Dasheng Group’s 100,000-spindle smart spinning factory project demonstration meeting was held in Nantong. Duan Xiaoping, president of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, said that in the past five years, the intelligent development of China’s cotton spinning industry has accelerated comprehensively, and the consumption of chemical fibers has increased comprehensively. Dasheng Group’s 100,000-spindle smart spinning factory project is based on the application of various chemical fibers and production Differentiated new yarn products have very good industrialization prospects and huge market potential.
The Demonstration Expert Committee unanimously agreed that the project plan has passed the demonstration and believes that the construction of Dasheng Group’s 100,000-spindle smart spinning factory project The goals are clear and the implementation plan is feasible. The project uses digital intelligent spinning technology to build a full-process intelligent spinning production line to achieve intelligent operation, digital manufacturing and intelligent equipment, and can basically realize unattended night shifts. The market positioning of the project products is accurate, in line with the trend of sustainable development and green consumption needs. The products have high technical content, large market capacity, high added value and market competitive advantages, and are expected to have significant economic and social benefits. After the project is completed, it can play a leading role in the transformation and upgrading of the industrial chain and the intelligent development of the textile industry.
In addition to building smart factories, Dasheng Group also optimized its product structure in 2018. Zhang Qixiang, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Dasheng Group, said that in 2018, the company focused on differentiated products such as rayon slub, fine denier LF, Yassel, and spun silk three-in-one to improve environmentally friendly viscose and spun silk multi-component blended yarns. The market share of new products such as Tianshu stretch fabrics, Yassel yarn fabrics, etc., through strategic cooperation with Lenzing Company, has expanded the market share of Lenzing fiber, and cooperated with international chain brands such as UNIQLO and MUJI. Establish new partnerships. Currently, the group has developed a total of 144 new products of various types, and the differentiation rate of its main textile products reaches 60%. “White carbon viscose and coffee carbon hollow polyester blended ecological soft antibacterial home textile fabric” won the third prize of Nantong Science and Technology Progress Award. Two invention patents including “High-strength and super-soft bio-based fiber healthy sleep home textile fabric” were authorized, and high-strength and low-shrinkage Yassel yarn products were certified as high-tech products in Jiangsu Province. The “Cotton Spinning Intelligent Technology Application Project” won the Innovative Application Award of the Textile Industry Informatization Achievement Award issued by the China Textile and Apparel Industry Federation.
“Following the great development momentum, we decided to strike while the iron is hot. Starting from 2019, we will invest 300 million yuan in two to three years to build a ‘smart chemical factory’ that will transform tens of thousands of The number of spindle workers has dropped to single digits, which is equivalent to an ‘unmanned factory’. At present, the average number of workers per 10,000 spindles in the industry is 50.” Zhang Qixiang said about the original intention of building a 100,000-spindle smart spinning factory. At present, the production and operation of Jiangsu Dasheng Group shows a situation of booming production and sales.

Dezhou Huayuan: Use key technologies to occupy the functional textile market
On December 10, Dezhou Huayuan Ecological Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Dezhou Huayuan”), Zhejiang Jinfeng Textile Machinery Co., Ltd. and Dezhou Fuhua Ecology Technology Co., Ltd. jointly completed the functional yarn preparation key technology research and development and industrialization project appraisal meeting held in Dezhou, Shandong.
Dezhou Huayuan functional yarn preparation key technology research and development and industrialization project appraisal meeting site .
Experts from the Appraisal Committee believe that the overall technology of the “R&D and Industrialization of Key Technologies for Functional Yarn Preparation” project has reached the international advanced level, and some of the core key technologies have reached the international leading level, and agree to the project Passed the appraisal.
As for the key technical achievements in functional yarn preparation that have passed the appraisal, Texas Huayuan R&D personnel said that after entering the epidemic In this era, consumers pay more attention to the concept of health, pay attention to healthy dressing, and tend to choose various functional textiles. In order to quickly occupy the functional textile market, Dezhou Huayuan combined its own production technology and advantages and set its sights on the research and development of functional textiles. The functional textile products developed by the “Key Technology Research and Development and Industrialization of Functional Yarn Preparation” project mainly include three series of products that improve the microecology of the body surface, affect human body function, and have safety and protective properties.
To openDezhou Huayuan, which aims to become a precise service provider of differentiated yarns, pays more attention to the differentiation and quality improvement of new products. This year, it launched diacetate series, seaweed fiber series, super antibacterial series, plant dyeing series, skin-beautifying velvet series, Regenerated polyester series, degradable polyester and other differentiated fiber products with various health concepts.
The relevant person in charge of the company said that under the background of dual circulation, Dezhou Huayuan products adapt to the adjustment direction of internal circulation. 85% of the products are sold to the domestic market and 15% of the products are sold to the domestic market. Sales in foreign markets. Huayuan Group’s new industrial park planning, equipment inspections, factory site selection and other work are already underway in full swing. In the next five years, Huayuan Group’s production scale will reach 1 million spindles, and the employment level will drop by half from the current basis.
