Xinhua News Agency Reports That Changle Chemical Fiber Enterprise "Weaves" A New World Of Private Economic Development Between "Jingwei"

Fuzhou Changle is the largest production base of nylon civil silk, warp knitting lace fabric and chemical fiber blended yarn in China, where a whole industrial chain layout has been formed from "one drop of oil", "one rope" to "one piece of cloth". These industries are inseparable from an important organic chemical raw material - caprolactam.

Caprolactam is mainly used to synthesize polyamide fibers. Polyamide fiber, commonly known as nylon or nylon, is an important material for weaving. At one time, caprolactam used by China's textile industry was highly dependent on the supply of international chemical giants.

In order to get rid of the dilemma of caprolactam supply being controlled by others, Hengshen Holding Group Co., Ltd., headquartered in Changle, established Fujian Shenyuan New Materials Co., Ltd. in 2013, aiming at one goal: independent production of caprolactam.

Hengshen Group has actively entered the upstream of the industrial chain through many international mergers and acquisitions. In 2018, Hengshen Group acquired Fubont caprolactam and related businesses in the Netherlands, and became a leading production group of chemical fiber raw material caprolactam in the world.

Now, Shenyuan New Material Integration Industrial Park has become a major caprolactam production base in the world. With the self production of caprolactam, the bottleneck restricting the development of China's nylon industry has been broken.

Hengshen Group has built a complete industrial chain from "one silk" to "one road", adhered to scientific and technological innovation, and then extended an industrial cluster from an industrial chain. At present, Fujian Province is focusing on the development of chemical industry chain and making efforts in the direction of material application, new material development, etc. around the industrial demand of electronic information, lithium ion battery, textile shoes and clothing, etc.

The development concept of extending the chain, anchoring innovation and promoting industrial transformation and upgrading has become a consensus among Changle textile enterprises. In the production workshop of Fujian Yongrong Jinjiang Co., Ltd., the production line runs at high speed. The raw material used to produce nylon yarn is no longer petroleum extract, but waste textiles.

Compared with the original fiber, each ton of "Aisailun" produced will reduce about three tons of carbon dioxide emissions. In terms of performance, "Aisailun" is almost the same as the original fiber, realizing parallel economic development and low carbon emissions.

In recent years, based on its own industrial foundation, Changle has grasped the development opportunity, fully supported the textile enterprises to become bigger and better, promoted the textile industry to achieve a new round of expansion, especially guided the advantageous enterprises to become better and stronger, and cultivated a number of leading enterprises in the textile industry. Driven by these leading enterprises, the upstream and downstream industrial chains have developed together to form a complete textile industrial chain from petrochemical raw materials to chemical fiber, cotton spinning, knitting, dyeing and finishing and other fields.

The textile, footwear and clothing industry is a traditional advantageous industry in Fujian. At present, Fujian vigorously promotes the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation to inject new momentum into the development of modern textile, footwear and clothing industry. Data shows that private economy contributes more than 80% of taxes, more than 80% of GDP, more than 80% of technological innovation achievements and more than 90% of jobs in Changle District. Attaching importance to innovative research and development, Changle textile enterprises have broken new ground in private economic development by exploring new quality productivity from the traditional textile industry.
