Textile Industry Party Building Benchmark: A New Engine from Industrial Upgrading to Global Competitiveness
In the recent national 'Two Excellence and One Advanced' commendations, several individuals and collectives from the textile sector were honored, including Zhang Bo of Shandong Weiqiao, Mi Xuemei of Zhongshan Xiashijia, and Party organizations of Hengli Petrochemical, Jilin Carbon Valley, and Hualida. These accolades reflect a deeper transformation: under the guidance of Party building, the textile industry is shifting from scale expansion to quality and efficiency improvement.
Technological Innovation: Party Building as a Catalyst for Breakthroughs
The case of Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Co., Ltd. Party Committee demonstrates how Party building directly translates into technological breakthroughs. With the 'Silk Road Pioneer' brand, they completed a 20 million-ton/year refining-chemical integration project in 19 months and a 1.5 million-ton/year ethylene project in 13 months at the Changxing Island Industrial Park. These projects broke foreign monopolies in high-end chemical raw materials, significantly reducing import dependence on key inputs like PTA. For downstream textile companies, this means more stable supply and controllable costs. Additionally, Hengli's innovative 'embedded wastewater treatment' technology achieves COD below 15mg/L and full water reuse, earning it a national 'Green Factory' certification—a vital asset amid tightening environmental regulations.
Jilin Carbon Valley Carbon Fiber Co., Ltd. Party Committee integrated Party building into the development of strategic emerging industries. With a raw fiber capacity of 190,000 tons, it is now the world's largest carbon fiber precursor producer. Carbon fiber is critical for aerospace and new energy vehicles, and its domestic breakthrough enhances industrial chain security. This case shows that Party organizations excel at integrating research resources, stabilizing R&D teams, and accelerating technology transfer.
Industrial Upgrading: From Traditional Manufacturing to Smart Ecosystem
Changzhou Hualida Garment Group Co., Ltd. Party Committee provides a clear upgrade path for traditional textile enterprises. From learning airbag production technology in Japan in 2008 to achieving a fully integrated supply chain in 2023, the company now produces 130,000 airbag units daily. Its shift to compact, lightweight airbags targets the booming new energy vehicle market—underpinned by a 'non-traditional traditional industry' philosophy. The 'Ordinary People Party Building' system enhances the sense of belonging among 25,000 employees, turning human capital into innovation capital for the transition from labor-intensive to technology-intensive operations.
Suzhou Inovance Technology Co., Ltd. Party Committee's 'Red Engineer' training system represents the intelligent direction of textile equipment. With 62% of Party members holding master's degrees and 91% under 40, this young, highly educated structure directly supports the autonomous control of industrial automation technology. For buyers, this means domestic textile machinery is approaching or surpassing imported levels in precision and stability.
Global Expansion: From 'Going Out' to 'Going Up'
Hualida's five factories and 15,000 employees in Vietnam are the result of a decade-long 'Belt and Road' initiative. This overseas layout is not just capacity transfer but a coordinated global supply chain. For foreign trade enterprises, Hualida's approach highlights that Party building in overseas projects can address cross-cultural management and compliance issues, reducing the risk premium of going global.
The inclusion of Yueda Textile Group Party Committee reflects how state-owned textile enterprises maintain strategic focus during mixed-ownership reforms. Their experience shows that Party organizations act as a 'stabilizer' in balancing short-term profitability with long-term R&D and harmonizing stakeholder interests.
