The textile industry is undergoing a profound internal transformation, with Party building emerging as a hidden engine driving this change. In the recently announced list of national outstanding Communist Party members and advanced grassroots Party organizations, multiple textile companies and individuals were honored—including Weiqiao, Hengli, Jilin Carbon Valley, Hualida, and Yueda. This is no coincidence: these enterprises share the common trait of deeply integrating Party building with business operations, achieving breakthroughs in key areas.
The Red Logic Behind Industrial Breakthroughs
The case of Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Co., Ltd.'s Party committee is highly representative. The company completed a 20-million-ton/year refining-chemical integration project in 19 months, breaking foreign monopolies; built the world's largest 1.5-million-ton/year ethylene project in 13 months, significantly reducing import dependence; and simultaneously constructed the world's largest PTA base. Behind these data lies a culture of tackling tough problems led by the 'Silk Road Pioneer' Party building brand. Data shows that Hengli's Party committee has eliminated 'non-Party member shifts' for five consecutive years, with 83.3% of senior executives being Party members. Over 100 Party members have grown into technical leaders, adopting 208 'golden ideas' in the past three years, with Party members and applicants leading 75% of patent inventions. This means Party building is not a decoration but a tangible productivity converter.
The inclusion of Jilin Carbon Valley Carbon Fiber Co., Ltd.'s Party committee is equally noteworthy. The company now has an annual raw yarn capacity of 190,000 tons, making it the world's largest producer of carbon fiber raw yarn. Carbon fiber, as a strategic emerging industry, has long been monopolized by foreign giants. Jilin Carbon Valley's rise marks the entry of domestic carbon fiber into the global first tier. Party building's role here is to transform the Party's organizational advantages into autonomous innovation mobilization capabilities—from R&D breakthroughs to capacity ramp-up, the Party organization remains the core command center.
A Two-Way Journey Between the Frontline and High-End Manufacturing
Notably, the awardees include both industry giants like Zhang Bo (Chairman of Weiqiao) and grassroots representatives like Mi Xuemei, a Party branch member at Zhongshan Xiahu Shijia Garments Co., Ltd., who has delivered over 100 theoretical lectures while organizing skills training to help workers cope with the intelligent transformation. This detail reflects a pain point in the textile industry's transition: under the wave of intelligentization, many frontline workers face skill upgrade pressure. Mi Xuemei's approach essentially uses Party building as a soft infrastructure to buffer unemployment risks and stabilize employment.
On the high-end manufacturing side, the practice of Changzhou Hualida Garments Group Co., Ltd.'s Party committee demonstrates how traditional garment companies can achieve industrial upgrading through Party building. Hualida's airbag production line produces 130,000 finished units daily, shifting from imported fabrics to an integrated industrial chain. Its small, lightweight airbag products are widely welcomed by the domestic new energy vehicle market. More critically, Hualida has responded to the 'Belt and Road' initiative for a decade, operating five factories in Vietnam with 15,000 employees, closely coordinating domestic and international bases. Party building here acts as a glue for unifying values and ensuring supply chain stability in cross-border operations.
Green Transformation and Talent Strategy Empowered by Party Building
Hengli Petrochemical's environmental breakthroughs also rely on Party building support. The company pioneered 'embedded wastewater treatment' technology, achieving effluent COD stable below 15mg/L and full reclaimed water reuse, earning the national 'Green Factory' designation. This achievement is directly linked to the routine problem-solving mechanism of 'Party Member Pioneer Posts' and 'Party Member Commando Teams.' For the textile industry, where environmental compliance costs continue to rise, the Party building-driven technical innovation model is highly replicable.
The inclusion of Suzhou Huichuan Technology Co., Ltd.'s Party committee reveals the logic of talent strategy. Among its Party members, 62% hold master's degrees, 95% have bachelor's degrees or above, and 91% are under 40 years old, making it a typical 'young, high-knowledge' Party organization. Through the 'Red Engineer' training system, Party building becomes a cultural magnet to attract and retain highly educated technical talent. For the textile industry's shift toward automation and intelligence, Huichuan's model offers a crucial reference on how to consolidate technical teams through organizational construction.
