The latest national 'Two Excellences and One Advanced' commendation list includes several individuals and collectives from the textile sector, reflecting a deep integration of Party building and industrial development. From Zhang Bo, Chairman of Weiqiao, honored as 'National Outstanding Communist Party Member', to the Party committees of Hengli Petrochemical and Jilin Carbon Valley recognized as 'National Advanced Grassroots Party Organizations', these cases reveal how Party building serves as a 'red engine' for technological breakthroughs, green transformation, and global expansion.
Technological Self-Reliance: Hardcore Results from Party-Led Efforts
The Party Committee of Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Co., Ltd., under the 'Silk Road Pioneer' Party building brand, set industry records at the Changxing Island Industrial Park: completing a 20 million ton/year refining-chemical integration project in 19 months, breaking foreign monopolies; building the world's largest 1.5 million ton/year ethylene project in 13 months, significantly reducing import dependence. Its simultaneous construction of the world's largest PTA base showcases the Party's coordination ability in megaprojects. Behind this speed lies the routine operation of 'Party Member Pioneer Posts' and 'Party Member Commando Teams'—the company's Party committee has eliminated 'non-Party member shifts' for five consecutive years, with 83.3% of senior executives being Party members. Among 208 'golden ideas' adopted in the past three years, 75% of patents were led by Party members or applicants. This means Party building translates directly into technological breakthroughs and efficiency gains.
The Party Committee of Jilin Carbon Valley Carbon Fiber Co., Ltd. integrated Party building into independent innovation, propelling domestic carbon fiber into the global top tier. Its precursor production capacity now reaches 190,000 tons, making it the world's largest carbon fiber precursor producer. This achievement is critical for downstream composites, aerospace, and wind turbine blades—stable precursor supply directly affects the cost and security of these strategic industries. For the textile sector, carbon fiber is a high-tech fiber segment, and Jilin Carbon Valley's progress proves Party building plays a key role in tackling 'bottleneck' technologies.
Green Transformation and Supply Chain Extension: New Dimensions of Party Building
Hengli's environmental innovation is equally noteworthy. Its industry-first 'embedded wastewater treatment' technology reduces COD to below 15mg/L, achieving full reclaimed water reuse, and earned the national 'Green Factory' designation. This is not just a technical breakthrough but shows that, under the 'dual carbon' goals, Party organizations push companies to integrate environmental responsibility into core strategy. For the textile chemical fiber industry, wastewater treatment is a pain point; Hengli's practice offers a replicable benchmark—Party building can be a catalyst for green transition.
The case of Changzhou Hualida Garment Group Co., Ltd. demonstrates how Party building aids traditional enterprises in global expansion. Starting from learning Japanese experience in 2008, Hualida now operates an integrated supply chain from fabric weaving to airbag sewing, with 130,000 airbag units produced daily, widely adopted by the new energy vehicle market. More notably, its 'Belt and Road' footprint includes five factories in Vietnam with 15,000 employees, accelerating global supply chain deployment through domestic-overseas collaboration. Party Secretary Zhang Wenchang emphasizes 'ordinary people's Party building', motivating 25,000 employees to pursue a '10-billion-yuan sales target'. This suggests Party building can stabilize overseas labor and cross-cultural management.
Talent Pipeline and Organizational Resilience: From 'Red Engineers' to 'Double Training, Double Promotion'
The 'Red Engineer' training system of Suzhou Huichuan Technology Co., Ltd. Party Committee highlights Party building's value in attracting and retaining high-end talent. Its Party members are 62% master's degree holders, 95% with bachelor's or above, and 91% under 40—typical of a 'young, high-knowledge' Party organization. This structure means the Party can directly engage R&D core, guiding members to lead in industrial automation control technology self-reliance. For textile machinery and smart manufacturing, Huichuan's practice shows Party building can serve as a spiritual bond for tech talent, reducing turnover.
Mi Xuemei, Party branch member at Zhongshan Xiahu World Garment Co., Ltd., who came from a Gansu mountain village, remains on the front line, organizing skills training to help workers cope with automation, and has delivered over 100 theoretical lectures. Her case illustrates that grassroots Party building can stabilize employment and transition industrial workers to technical roles—a universal significance for labor-intensive textile and apparel enterprises undergoing transformation.
Industry Implications: Party Building Is Not an Add-on but a Must
In summary, the commonality among these awardees is deep integration of Party building with production and operation, not 'two separate skins'. The breakthroughs of Weiqiao, Hengli, and Jilin Carbon Valley demonstrate Party organizations' advantages in megaprojects, tech breakthroughs, and green transition; Hualida's global layout shows Party building's soft power in cross-border management. For small and medium textile enterprises, they may not replicate large firms' Party building models but can learn the core logic: using organizational building to unite people and drive innovation.
