The textile industry is undergoing a profound transformation. On the 105th anniversary of the Communist Party of China, several textile groups and individuals received national honors, including Weiqiao's Zhang Bo, Hengli Petrochemical Party Committee, and Jilin Carbon Valley Party Committee. These benchmarks reflect breakthroughs in three directions: intelligence, green development, and globalization.
Three Engines of Industrial Upgrading
Intelligence: From Manufacturing to Smart Manufacturing
Mi Xuemei of Zhongshan Xiahushijia, a frontline party member, organized skill training to help workers cope with the intelligent wave. Behind this is a common pain point: according to China National Textile and Apparel Council, the penetration rate of digital R&D tools in textiles exceeded 70% in 2025, but worker skill transformation remains a bottleneck. Mi's practice shows that companies must align talent cultivation with smart upgrades.
Green Development: Circular Economy as a Hard Target
Hengli Petrochemical pioneered 'embedded wastewater treatment' at its Changxing Island park, achieving COD below 15mg/L and full water reuse, earning the title of national 'green factory'. This case proves that environmental protection is no longer a cost burden but a competitive advantage. Industry data shows wastewater discharge fell 8% in 2025, but Hengli's technology offers a replicable benchmark.
Globalization: From Going Out to Rooting In
Changzhou Hualida Garment Group operates five factories in Vietnam with 15,000 employees, producing 130,000 airbag components daily, shifting from imported fabrics to an integrated supply chain. This marks a shift from simple capacity relocation to deep global supply chain integration. Hualida targets 10 billion yuan in sales by 2025, showing that overseas expansion must collaborate with domestic headquarters to form a 'dual circulation' pattern.
Event Impact: How Party Building Translates into Industrial Momentum
Deep Integration of Organizational Building and Innovation
Hengli's party committee, through 'pioneer posts' and 'dual training', has turned over 100 party members into technical leaders, adopting 208 'golden ideas' in three years, with party members contributing 75% of patents. This means party building is not a separate activity but an innovation engine. Suzhou Huichuan Technology's party committee, with 62% master's degree holders and 91% under 40, directly serves core technology breakthroughs in industrial automation.
Supply Chain Synergy: From Raw Materials to End Products
Jilin Carbon Valley's party committee focuses on strategic emerging industries, with a precursor capacity of 190,000 tons, making it the world's largest carbon fiber precursor producer. Carbon fiber is critical for wind power and aerospace, and its domestic breakthrough reduces import dependence. Weiqiao's Zhang Bo, honored as 'National Outstanding Communist Party Member', continues to invest in smart spinning and green printing, with revenue expected to exceed 50 billion yuan in 2025.
