Cotton spinning 2022: practice hard to create a new situation

2022 has come to an end. Looking back on this year, in the complex and changeable environment such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, global inflation, and the epidemic, all walks of life have been affected to varying degrees. The cotton textile industry has also been affected. Can’t live alone.

This year, the cotton textile market faced high costs, weak demand, high inventory, and low profits. However, cotton textile companies have become more mature in facing adversity.

This year, cotton textile companies have strengthened their internal skills, used technology to empower products, and actively sought profit points; this year, cotton textile companies have taken the initiative, either through expansion or mergers and acquisitions, to accelerate the layout of new markets; this year, our country has Cotton standards are also constantly improving, further promoting the highquality development of the cotton industry.

Innovation driven

Focus on differentiated needs

In 2022, the complex and changeable domestic and international environment will accelerate the “shuffle” of my country’s cotton textile industry. In the context of sluggish downstream demand, the survival situation of small and medium-sized enterprises that mainly produce pure cotton products can be described as “precarious.” However, powerful cotton spinning companies rely on their strong development and innovation capabilities to promptly change their product structure according to market demand, solving the problems of low added value and difficult sales.

For spinning companies, “antibacterial” is still a hot word this year.

Ruyi Cotton Spinning Group continues to increase its research and development efforts on functional yarns. In April this year, it cooperated with Shanghai Kanglun Aerospace New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. to launch a new product with “self-contained antibacterial properties” Good cotton yarn – CLEANCOTTON Kanglun antibacterial cotton” has attracted great attention in the industry as soon as it was launched. Ruyi Cotton Spinning adopts the Maxwell method physical antibacterial technology derived from aerospace technology for processing, so that the yarn has a long-lasting antibacterial effect, and has successfully explored a new technical path for functional yarns.

In order to make clothing both warm and fashionable, Wenshang Ruyi Colored Textile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Ruyi Colored Textile”) successfully developed super warm yarn at the beginning of this year.

Ruyi Color Spun’s super warm yarn is blended with polyimide fiber and cotton fiber. After fully understanding the characteristics of the fiber, the optimal ratio combination was made through repeated trials, and it was spun through the compact siro spinning process. Become. Knitted fabrics made of polyimide blended colored yarn have excellent warmth retention, and low thermal conductivity can ensure that less heat is lost through the fibers; at the same time, it embodies “antibacterial” properties and is effective against typical bacteria found in daily life environments. Its inhibition rate reached 99.99%.

Weiqiao Textile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Weiqiao Textile”) has more than 10,000 yarn varieties. In May this year, through fiber pretreatment and spinning technology innovation, Weiqiao Textile solved a series of difficulties such as severe static electricity in polyimide fibers, difficulties in forming webs, fluffy strips, and poor fiber cohesion. Using Siro The spinning method ensures the quality and performance of yarns and fabrics, while optimizing yarn twist and fabric structure specifications, and successfully develops polyimide pure spinning knitted flame-retardant functional fabrics.

“Enterprises must keep pace with the times, continue to innovate, and continue to create products with greater market value for customers. Based on this, Xinhuayuan has never stopped the pace of innovation and research and development.” said Chen Wen, President of Fujian Xinhuayuan Technology Group , in 2022, the company developed 50S Siro spinning single-holenylon6 filament core-spun yarn, 32S/2 combed cotton/nylon high-strength wear-resistant core-spun yarn, Three new products of Lyocell/combed cotton blended yarn series have passed expert appraisal and have reached the international advanced level. At present, the three new products have been mass-produced. They meet the needs of different customers for differentiated yarns in different market application fields and have won praise from many customers.

It is not difficult to see from the research and development results of various companies that small batches and multiple varieties of personalized, differentiated and functional environmentally friendly products have gradually become mainstream. In the future, only by focusing more on differentiated mid-to-high-end products can companies have more profit possibilities.

Investment and mergers and acquisitions

Accelerate the layout of new markets

This year, due to the suppression of terminal demand, cotton textile companies generally faced the problems of high product inventory and low profits. However, companies did not choose to sit still and wait for death. Instead, they took action. Based on their own circumstances, they either merged or expanded, opened up breakthroughs in different forms, and accelerated the layout of new markets.

Jiangsu Dasheng Group, which has a history of more than 100 years, has always insisted on producing fine and high-end textiles. In May this year, the group acquired three high-count yarn companies from China Resources Textile, gaining industry attention.

It is understood that the three high-count yarn companies are the largest specialized high-end high-count yarn production bases in the country and the only companies in the world that can mass-produce NE200-300 extra fine yarns on a large scale.

Qi Yingbin, chairman of Jiangsu Dasheng Group, said that this merger and acquisition is a bold exploration of Dasheng Group to become a stronger, better and larger state-owned enterprise, which can improve the product structure and strengthen the integration of the industrial chain. Dasheng Group will work with three high-count yarn companies to continue to stabilize theWe will improve production and operation, increase technological transformation, vigorously promote high-quality development of enterprises, and actively build a first-class domestic textile industry group.

As a producer of differentiated yarns, Dezhou Huayuan Ecological Technology Co., Ltd. invested in the construction of an intelligent high-end customized production line project for high-performance fibers in August this year. The total design scale of the project is 330,000 spindles, with a total investment of 1.024 billion yuan in the first phase. The project is positioned at the research and development of new high-performance fiber materials, using advanced domestic and foreign technologies such as Siro compact spinning technology and core-spun yarn technology to build intelligent spinning. Workshop; purchased more than 1,000 sets of the world’s most advanced textile equipment from Germany’s Truetzschler and Japan’s Murata. The products are mainly supplied to domestic and international mid-to-high-end brands, and the target markets are mid-to-high-end clothing fabrics manufacturers and mid-to-high-end clothing brands. After the project is put into operation, the annual output of various functional yarns will be 45,000 tons.

In the segmented fields, leading companies also regard expansion as one of the most important keywords in 2022.

On February 28, Blum Oriental Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Blum Oriental”) announced that the company’s application for a non-public issuance of shares was approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The total amount of funds planned to be raised by the company in this non-public issuance shall not exceed 1 billion yuan (inclusive). After deducting the issuance expenses, all funds will be used for the “Blum (Vietnam) expansion of 390,000 spindles of yarn project.”

Blum Oriental stated that this fundraising project will help the company expand overseas production capacity and enhance its global order-taking capabilities; at the same time, it will better support downstream customers, expand the purchasing share of existing customers, and further consolidate the company’s core competitiveness. With the Blum Oriental scheduled expansion project, an additional 390,000 tablets of production capacity will be added in Vietnam. It is expected that 200,000 tablets of new production capacity will be released each year in the next two years, driving the company’s performance growth.

Improve standards

Guarding high-quality development

Stable price and quality of raw materials are crucial for cotton spinning enterprises.

The healthy development of the cotton industry affects the heart of every cotton spinner. This year, my country’s cotton has made certain breakthroughs and progress in terms of production standards and processing standards, and has steadily moved towards high quality.

On April 1 this year, the China Cotton Association officially released the “China Cotton” Sustainable Production group standard, which is the first domestic standard for sustainable cotton production.

The “China Cotton” Sustainable Production group standard is an important part of the “China Cotton” sustainable development project launched by the China Cotton Association in 2021. The standard aims at sustainable cotton production, focusing on the management and use of agricultural chemicals such as pesticides, fertilizers, and mulch films during cotton planting, water, soil health, biodiversity protection and greenhouse gas emission reduction, and cotton quality and traceability. , occupational health, safety, welfare and social responsibility are the core issues of current and future sustainable agricultural development.

In terms of cotton processing that cotton spinning enterprises are concerned about, our country has also formulated and revised relevant industry standards.

The “General Technical Requirements for Cotton Processing and Humidity Control” implemented in July this year will help cotton processing enterprises establish a complete cotton humidity control process system, strengthen the green and environmentally friendly production and processing of cotton, and will improve the cotton processing process and improve the quality of cotton processing. It is of great significance to promote the transformation of the production mode of the cotton processing industry from extensive to refined and promote the sustainable development of the cotton processing industry.

The industry standard “Specifications for the Evaluation of Service Capacity of Cotton Processing Enterprises” implemented in September this year has promoted the standardization, informatization and standardization of cotton acquisition and processing production, strengthened the quality management of cotton acquisition, processing and other links, and established “enterprise autonomy and industry self-discipline” , social supervision, and government supervision” cotton quality management and enterprise performance evaluation mechanisms are important for improving product quality levels, creating brand cotton, promoting cotton processingtransformation and upgrading, and achieving high-quality development Provide solid protection.

Standardization has also played a leading role in supporting digital cotton work. For example, the national standard “Technical Regulations for Cotton Bale Information Management” and the industry standard “Technical Regulations for Collection of Cotton Bale Information” are the basic core standards of informatization. In the cotton processing process, by standardizing the collection of cotton bale information, each cotton bale is given a unique “ID card” barcode identification, creating a new era of digitalization in the cotton industry. At the same time, the cotton bale barcode is bound to information on relevant links in the industry chain, promoting The data integration of the entire cotton industry chain provides important data support for scanning and verification in the inspection link, warehouse receipt generation in the warehousing link, settlement basis in the trade link, smart transportation in the logistics link, and accurate cotton distribution in the textile link. It has a positive impact on the cotton industry. Structural adjustment, innovative business models, and digital transformation are of great significance.
