Cotton spinning enterprises in Shilipu Town, Gaotang County ushered in 'spring'

At the moment, the 'cold winter' of the national cotton processing industry has not yet completely passed, but the cotton processing enterprises in Sanlipu Town, Gaotang County have ushered in the 'early spring'. On March 29, in the workshop of Xinxing Cotton Textile Co., Ltd. in the town, two brand-new open-end spinning machines were operating at high speed, and the workers on the production line were working nervously and orderly, a busy scene. “By introducing advanced equipment, the company has continuously extended the industrial chain and moved from primary cotton processing to intensive processing, which has reversed the development trend in one fell swoop.” The company’s general manager Wang Gongqing said, “The semi-finished cotton products that have undergone primary processing can be completely digested by themselves. , The company's circular economy chain came alive all at once!' The cotton spinning processing industry of Sanshilipu Town started at the end of the 1990s and is one of the town’s traditional pillar industries. In 2005, there were 50 cotton processing enterprises in the town, with an annual processing capacity of 500,000 tons of seed cotton, which led to the transfer of more than 3,000 rural laborers to work in cotton enterprises. In 2010, 60% of the town’s fiscal revenue came from the cotton processing industry, and farmers in the town rely on the cotton industry to increase their annual income by more than 60 million yuan. However, the good times did not last long. Since 2012, affected by the global economic downturn, the domestic cotton market situation has taken a sharp turn. The cotton primary processing enterprises in Sanlipu Town are struggling, and their profits are seriously declining. Many cotton industries have rectified and transformed to seek vitality.　　 In response to the severe market situation, Sanlipu Town is actively exploring the transformation and upgrading of the cotton industry while extending the cotton processing industrial chain. The town encourages enterprises with advanced equipment and good development prospects to continue to explore the market or launch new spinning projects. At present, 14 spinning projects and 4 clothing projects in the town have been completed and put into production; at the same time, the town is actively guiding equipment and production capacity backward The company has transformed into other industries, and now more than 30 cotton processing companies have realized the transformation, engaged in the processing of auto parts, sheet metal, and crystal products. By eliminating outdated production capacity and accelerating the pace of transformation and upgrading, the town’s cotton spinning processing industry has achieved a high-end, high-tech development and rejuvenated.　　 Nowadays, with the strong support of the local government, more than 30 cotton textile processing enterprises in the town have stepped from the cold winter to the early spring. The order and sales of enterprises have gradually recovered, and the cotton textile processing industry in the town has shown a steady development trend. 'In the next step, Sanlipu Town will further extend the cotton processing industry chain, and gradually cultivate a number of leading enterprises in spinning, knitting and clothing, and lead the town's cotton spinning processing industry to continue and healthy development.'
