Fuyue Textile: R&D of elastic fabrics helps enterprises to “return to life”

On May 1st, in the workshop of Zhejiang Fuyue Textile Co., Ltd., located in Maqiao Street (Waibian Park), Haining City, the warp knitting machine was running at a rapid speed. An order for elastic fabric worth 1.5 million yuan was in hot production, and it is expected at the end of the month. It can be shipped to Korean companies. This Korean company alone has reached an order of 5 million yuan with Fuyue Textile this year. This year, Fuyue Textile's production value is expected to exceed 60 million yuan; and just a few years ago, it has difficulties in supporting itself.

At present, economic development is moving towards a high-quality era. Many small and medium-sized enterprises in the warp knitting parks are also seeking transformation and upgrading, strengthening innovation and management, upgrading the level of intelligent production, and striving to pre-empt the layout, tap potential and realize the health of enterprises under the new situation. sustainable development.

Fuyue Textile has been engaged in the production and sale of traditional warp knitting products since its inception. With the continuous improvement of the craftsmanship of the warp knitting industry and the continuous updating of equipment, the competition in the industry has become more intense. The prices of traditional warp-knitted fabrics have been suppressed very low, the added value is almost zero, and the profits are getting lower and lower, like Fuyue Textile. The survival of SMEs faces great challenges.

How can we break the bottleneck of development when we are poor? Fuyue Textile is on the road to transformation. In recent years, it has invested nearly RMB 1 million in research and development expenses every year, and has designed and developed new products such as cationic fabrics and elastic fabrics. Nowadays, stretch fabrics have become the main products of the company, and sales accounted for 45% of the company's total sales. Fuyue Textile has therefore become a supplier to many domestic and foreign big-name garment factories.

Zhang Jianliang, CEO of Fuyue Textile, said that the current stretch fabrics are still under further development, and it is hoped that the deep value will be added to the next level. “In 2015, our sales were 50 million yuan, close to 60 million yuan in 2016, and more than 60 million yuan in 2017, achieving an annual growth rate of 15% to 20%.”

The benefits have been steadily improved, allowing companies to taste the sweetness of transformation. Zhang Jianliang has strengthened his confidence in independent research and development, and added research and development investment, aiming to share a piece of the independent brand clothing market.

“On the one hand, we provide outdoor sports apparel fabrics for international brands. On the other hand, we also consider why we should not use these fabrics to develop our own brands. Therefore, the company has established the Haishao brand. In the past three years, it has designed and developed more than 500 sportswear. Zhang Jianliang said that although the market share is still small, but it is increasing, we have seen hope from it. The road to self-owned brand entrepreneurship is difficult, but we have the advantage of supply chain and the experience of R&D. I believe we will succeed.

Fuyue Textile relies on the transformation and upgrading of high value-added products. Zhejiang Daxie Knitting Co., Ltd., which is also in the warp knitting park, pays more attention to the efficiency and quality brought by intelligent manufacturing.

“Since we installed this set of self-stopping equipment, we can basically recognize the long rafts of more than 15 centimeters.” Tang Xiaoli, general manager of Daxie Knitting, took the reporter to visit the equipment and introduced it, and found the defects in time to cut in time, greatly reducing waste. The production of cloth.

This self-stop device is a smart device that the company just purchased more than a month ago. It has a black main box and a white control cabinet. Each set is placed on the side of the warp knitting machine. Through the automatic recognition of the camera, the yarn breakage can be quickly found and stopped for the workers to handle. Generally, the yarn breakage is 15 cm long and the warp knitting machine will automatically stop running. In the past, it was necessary to manually identify the yarn breakage. Sometimes, the yarn was broken for several meters, and the fabric of several meters became a waste cloth.

“Compared to labor, the efficiency and accuracy of the machine is higher, which not only reduces labor, but also reduces the rate of defects and improves product quality.” Tang Xiaoli said.

The transformation and upgrading of traditional industries has enabled SMEs to find a new way out. In recent years, Maqiao Street (warp knitting park) has promoted all-round and all-round assistance industries, grasping the “lifeline” of small and medium-sized enterprises development, grasping the construction of large enterprises and large platforms, and making great strides in economic development. Last year, the regional GDP was realized. 5.57 billion yuan, a number of key work data indicators are located in the forefront of the city, the region's enterprise technology research and development fruitful. In the future, Maqiao Street (Warrior Park) will continue to play a good role as a key platform to guide enterprises to transform and upgrade, improve quality and efficiency.
