'First line ready to wear' weaves a new channel for going global
Recently, walking into the production workshop of Yantai Yaqi Textile Co., Ltd., multiple fully formed intelligent flat knitting machines are running at high speed. Relying on the "first-line garment" intelligent manufacturing technology, the yarn does not need to be divided, cut, or sewn, and is directly woven into finished sweaters. After packaging is completed, they are gradually sent overseas.
The textile and clothing industry is a pillar industry and livelihood industry in Haiyang City, and it is also an important force driving the growth of local foreign trade. Based on the foundation of the knitting processing industry, local enterprises continue to promote the upgrading of intelligent manufacturing, promote the integrated production mode of "first-line ready to wear", continuously enrich the categories of knitted clothing, and turn knitted ready to wear into characteristic export products.
We mainly engage in the production and sales of sweaters and knitwear. With excellent quality and stable production capacity, our products are sold well in major markets such as Europe, America, and Asia, "said Qi Yuntao, the business leader of the company. Overseas buyers have continuously increased their requirements for the comfort of knitted clothing fabrics and the details of clothing patterns. The company continues to update its intelligent production equipment, improve its fabric technology, and keep up with overseas consumption trends. In the first eight months of this year, the value of the company's exported knitted clothing was 460 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 84.5%.
With the constantly changing global trade environment and intensifying international market competition, how to stabilize existing orders, explore emerging export channels, and continuously consolidate overseas market share has become a common challenge faced by the local textile industry.
In order to assist Haiyang textile and clothing enterprises in seizing overseas orders and breaking through overseas bottlenecks, Haiyang Customs under Qingdao Customs continues to connect with the export needs of enterprises in its jurisdiction, accurately pushing policy dividends such as origin benefits, tax reductions and exemptions, and processing trade management, helping enterprises reduce production costs and enhance product competitiveness. At the same time, we actively promote convenient measures such as advance declaration and appointment clearance, continuously optimize the clearance process, and build a convenient channel for efficient export of textiles and clothing.
Li Lin, Deputy Director of Haiyang Customs, stated that the next step will be to closely follow the industrial characteristics and actual business operations of Haiyang City, continuously optimize the business environment at the port, carry out targeted assistance for enterprises on a regular basis, fully release the effectiveness of various preferential policies for enterprises, and promote the sustained stability of orders and market expansion of the textile and clothing industry in the jurisdiction, achieving stable and positive development of foreign trade.
According to statistics, in the first eight months of this year, Haiyang's textile and clothing exports amounted to 1.74 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.8%. (Song Xiaolin/Text)
