Build a green and smart textile base in southwest China
Continue to launch the signboard of "Southwest Textile in Lushan".
Sichuan and Chongqing are important production areas of silk, linen, wool, cotton and other textile raw materials in the mainland, and the textile and garment industry has a long history, profound heritage and great potential.
As a traditional advantageous industry in Chengdu-Chongqing, the textile and garment industry has a complete industrial chain cluster, and the industry scale ranks in the leading position in the western region, and occupies an important position in the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle. In recent years, in the face of increasingly fierce market competition pressure, the textile and garment industry has accelerated the implementation of industrial upgrading and green transformation focusing on informatization, automation and intelligence, and the requirements for the quality of the workforce are also increasing.
Xu Qibin, Secretary of the Party Group and Vice Chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, said that the labor and skills competition held in Lushan County with the theme of "Singing the Tale of Two Cities and Sewing Wisdom Textile Power" is to help further improve the skills of employees in the textile and garment industry in Sichuan and Chongqing by building a platform and empowering them with competitions, boosting the further development of the textile and garment industry in Sichuan and Chongqing, and contributing to the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle.
Why Lushan County? "The textile and garment industry in Lushan County has grown from scratch and from small to large, forming a modern green industrial cluster that integrates spinning, weaving and garmenting, with cotton spinning production capacity accounting for 10% of the province and covered yarn production capacity accounting for 10% of the country. At the opening ceremony of the competition, many guests talked about the good momentum of the development of the textile and garment industry in Lushan County.
The textile industry in Lushan County started in 2007, and after years of development, the whole textile industry chain has been basically built. In 2023, the county's 26 textile enterprises above the designated size will achieve an annual output value of 3.12 billion yuan.
In recent years, Lushan County has scientifically led the transformation of enterprises from "weaving" to "intelligent manufacturing", vigorously implemented the five key projects of recruiting large and strong people, building chains and supplementing chains, process upgrading, brand promotion, and intelligent manufacturing, and accelerated the construction of a modern green and intelligent textile industry system integrating chemical fiber, cotton spinning, weaving, design, and garment, and "Southwest Textile in Lushan" has gradually become a consensus in the industry.
"Lushan County has previously held two consecutive Sichuan textile industry labor and skills competitions, and has accumulated rich experience in the preparation and holding of the event." Ren Bingyue, a staff member of the Lushan County Federation of Trade Unions, said that as the only place to hold the labor and skills competition in the textile industry in the province, the rich experience in organizing the competition is also one of the reasons for attracting the first garment industry labor and skills competition in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle to settle in Lushan County.
"The textile industry in Lushan is modern and large-scale, and the equipment and facilities are also very advanced, which is relatively rare in the southwest region." Zhang Longlin said that the textile industry in Lushan and Chongqing has its own characteristics, relatively speaking, Chongqing attaches more importance to the development of downstream industries, and Lushan is more powerful in the upstream of the textile industry. The two places can learn from each other's strengths and develop in tandem to jointly promote the textile and garment industry in Sichuan and Chongqing to move towards the high-end of the value chain, so that more talents can stay in the local area for development.
At present, Lushan County is actively expanding the function of smart textiles, highlighting the integrated development of modern green new textiles and big data industries, focusing on building a number of leading and world-class smart workshops and smart factories in China, and making every effort to build a green and smart textile base in Southwest China.
