The prevention and control of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic is currently at a critical stage. Since February 10, on the premise of doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, various chemical fiber companies have begun to take multiple measures to resume work and production, entering a critical period of “focusing on epidemic prevention and control with one hand, and resumption of work and production with the other”.
At this stage, on the one hand, various chemical fiber companies continue to donate through various channels and methods to the front lines of epidemic prevention and control or the areas where the companies are located, and donate medical protective masks and protective clothing that are urgently needed by medical staff. , donated disposable masks and other types of epidemic prevention materials. On the other hand, all chemical fiber companies put the health and safety of their employees first and make every effort to ensure the safety of their employees and ensure the orderly resumption of work and production. It is particularly worth pointing out that some large-scale chemical fiber leading companies did not actually stop production during the Spring Festival and have maintained continuous production.
One after another, chemical fiber companies have shouldered their own responsibilities and continuously conveyed the positive energy of “grasping with both hands, both hands must be strong” to the entire industry and society.
Donate money and materials to continue the fight against the epidemic
Aoyang Technology, one of the listed companies in the chemical fiber sector, is headquartered in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province. It has two core businesses: chemical fiber and medical health. Aoyang Technology has two major production bases in Funing, Yancheng, Jiangsu and Manas, Xinjiang, and is one of the leading companies in my country’s regenerated cellulose fiber industry.

Although most chemical fiber companies will not be involved in the diversified business of medical and health care, in the current epidemic, in order to purchase and donate urgently needed epidemic prevention materials, many chemical fiber companies have mobilized various forces to conduct global procurement.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Hengshen Holding Group, a large leading enterprise in my country’s nylon industry headquartered in Changle, Fujian, has established an overseas fundraising team for medical supplies as soon as possible relying on its global industrial layout. In the past few days, Hengshen Group has consulted European experts to specially draw up a list of high-protection materials and carry out targeted procurement in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and other countries, including 20,000 pieces of medical protective clothing, 15,000 FFP3 and N95 level masks, and medical gloves. 30,000 pieces, with a value of more than 5 million yuan, will be donated in three batches. Hengshen Group also coordinated with Xiamen Airlines to airlift these supplies to Fuzhou Changle Airport as soon as possible. On February 10, the first batch of epidemic prevention materials purchased from abroad arrived in Fuzhou and were distributed to the governments of Fujian Province, Fuzhou City, Changle District, and Lianjiang County for overall planning and assistance to the front lines of Fujian Province’s fight against the epidemic. After the remaining epidemic prevention materials arrive in Fuzhou, Hengshen Group will continue to donate. ▼
Fujian Yongrong Holding Group is also one of the leading nylon companies. On February 2, the company issued a “Letter of Assistance in Procurement of Medical Materials”, announcing the launch of a 5 million yuan donation from the Yongrong Charity Fund, and advocating for the company’s global suppliers and partners to assist the company in purchasing medical protective masks, Protective clothing, goggles and other supplies. Then, the company purchased 500,000 masks through the Japanese and American markets. At present, Yongrong Holdings has responded to the Fujian Province E30 Enterprises and Entrepreneurs Alliance with donations of 1 million yuan, responded to the Putian Municipal Government with donations of 1 million yuan, and donated 1,000 body temperature guns. Since February 1st, Yongrong Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Yongrong Holding Group, has also organized hydrogen peroxide installation employees of the caprolactam (CPL) project to work overtime every day to prepare disinfectant and supply it to Putian counties and districts (administrative committees) and Putian City directly for free. It is used by relevant units, other enterprises in the park where the enterprise is located, and surrounding villages and towns. Currently, Yongrong Technology has deployed more than 40 tons of disinfectant.
Fujian Baihong Poly Fiber Technology Industrial Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Fujian Baihong Group located in Longhu Town, Jinjiang, is one of the leading enterprises in my country’s polyester polyester industry and the largest polyester fiber production base in South China. Recently, Baihong Group donated 3 million yuan to support Jinjiang Longhu Town in carrying out epidemic prevention and control work. Among them, 3 million yuan was donated to Jinjiang Longhu TownThe epidemic prevention inspection team composed of the National Assembly, the Party Building Department, the Work Safety Department, the Security Department and other departments conduct inspections of more than 60 key areas and positions at the grassroots level every day. The company’s protective equipment will be given priority to front-line employees in production; for those in urgent need of non-production and operation work, flexible arrangements will be made to use telephone, Internet and other methods to work from home; for employees who are determined to go to work at the unit, prevention and control measures will be fully implemented and all possible measures will be taken. Flexible working methods such as staggered hours and flexibility.
Tangshan Sanyou Group must conduct daily temperature screening registration of employees and prepare enough masks , disinfectant and other epidemic prevention and control materials; implement closed management of the factory area, clean and disinfect key areas and facilities such as central air conditioners, elevators, stairwells, toilets, canteens, dormitories, etc.; check the personal protection of personnel and vehicles entering the factory Wearing of supplies, checking for fever symptoms, and checking outsiders and vehicles; for those who want to stay, make proper arrangements according to a combination of “individual employees can solve it themselves, each company can solve it flexibly, and the industrial head office can solve it centrally”. For centralized accommodation, Personnel are subject to closed management.
However, among the entire chemical fiber industry, only some companies implement continuous production during the Spring Festival. In accordance with the relevant requirements of local governments, since February 10, more chemical fiber companies have gradually entered the stage of resuming work and production. The arduous task of how to truly implement every detail of epidemic prevention and control work, how to ensure the resumption of work and production while effectively ensuring the safety of employees, is prominently placed in front of more chemical fiber companies.
It is also worth pointing out that while chemical fiber companies are doing their best to ensure orderly production, they must also realize that the epidemic has indeed inevitably brought some adverse effects to the industry. Therefore, it is also worth thinking about how companies can adjust production and operations in a timely manner based on the latest situation.
The person in charge of the above-mentioned polyester company pointed out that due to the epidemic, the current device load rate of the polyester industry is around 60%, which is significantly lower than the same period last year and lower than 72% in January this year. Affected by the epidemic, some raw and auxiliary material factories, downstream weaving factories, and logistics companies that support chemical fiber factories have postponed their resumption of work. This will bring certain difficulties to the production, product transportation, and sales of chemical fiber companies, and will also increase the product inventory of chemical fiber companies. . “During the Spring Festival, most of the small polyester factories stopped production, and some large factories arranged some routine maintenance according to the operation of their own equipment. At present, although several large polyester factories are in production, the equipment load rate has begun to decline to varying degrees. , some production capacity has been suspended by about 750,000 tons, and some production capacity has been suspended by more than 1 million tons,” he said.
The China Chemical Fiber Industry Association recently established the “Chemical Fiber Industry Epidemic Prevention and Production Resumption Coordination Group” to participate in the investigation based on an online survey of the resumption of work and production of 40 chemical fiber companies as of the afternoon of February 16. Companies generally report that difficulties in purchasing protective equipment, shortage of workers, and poor logistics are the main difficulties currently facing the industry. Among them, about 97.5% of the companies reported that logistics obstruction affecting the company’s procurement of raw materials and auxiliary materials and poor product sales are the biggest difficulties currently facing the industry; about 72.5% of companies reported that difficulties in purchasing anti-epidemic supplies have caused companies to delay the start of operations; about 52.5% of the survey Enterprises reported that the labor shortage problem is more prominent.
“During the Spring Festival, our non-maintenance equipment was in normal production. However, due to the epidemic, the maintenance time of all maintenance equipment was extended, and some equipment were also scheduled to be inspected in advance.” The general manager of a branch of a large polyester company told reporters.
“The epidemic prevention and control situation is still severe. Although our equipment did not stop during the Spring Festival, we are now considering stopping part of it. Everyone is adjusting the company’s production and operations in a timely manner based on the latest situation, and we are also looking forward to The epidemic will be over soon.” The chief technical engineer of another large polyester and polyester factory told reporters.
