A reporter from “China Textile News” checked the company’s financial report and found that in the first half of the year, Weihai Guangwei Composite Materials Co., Ltd. achieved an attributable net profit of 434 million yuan; Zhongjian Technology Co., Ltd. Co., Ltd. achieved an attributable net profit of 93.8627 million yuan; Jilin Carbon Valley Carbon Fiber Co., Ltd. achieved a net profit of 109.9 million yuan; Jiangsu Hengshen Co., Ltd. achieved a net profit of 51.64 million yuan.
The position of chemical fiber in my country’s textile industry has also been further consolidated.
Gao Yong, Party Secretary and Secretary-General of the China Textile and Apparel Federation, pointed out that as the most important raw material in the textile industry, chemical fiber not only meets the needs of industrial development in terms of volume, but is also an important driving force for the development of technology, fashion, and green in the textile industry. Focusing on the textile industry’s “strengthening strategic support capabilities for scientific and technological innovation, building a high-quality textile manufacturing system, smoothing the industrial cycle with domestic demand as the strategic basis, improving the level and level of international development, promoting industry fashion development and brand building, and promoting social responsibility construction and sustainability “Continuous development, optimizing domestic layout, improving development coordination and building a safe development system for the textile industry” are 8 key tasks. The chemical fiber industry will build a solid foundation for the textile industry from the raw material side and lead the value enhancement of the textile industry chain. In fiberNew MaterialsProactive actions in high-end development, intelligent digital development, green and low-carbon transformation and development, etc. Especially after my country made a solemn commitment to the world to “peak carbon and become carbon neutral”, green and low-carbon development has been elevated to unprecedented heights, and will also be reflected in the policy system and industrial regulations. Enterprises must make timely adjustments to incorporate green and low-carbon development into their strategic systems, production systems, innovation systems and value systems to win the initiative in future market competition.
“my country’s chemical fiber industry is an advanced manufacturing industry and an industry with international competitive advantages. It is also an important part of the new materials industry.
