The “Winter Olympics Economy” stimulates the ice and snow clothing industry, and upstream textile fabric companies are also “burning”!
As the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics approaches day by day, ice and snow sports continue to break through, and my country’s ice and snow clothing industry is ushering in new development opportunities. Affected by the transmission of the industrial chain, fabric companies are also scrambling to make plans and increase process development and technology investment to make this winter “ignite”.
Super warm fleece adds warmth to performance
Recently, on the occasion of the 100-day countdown to the opening of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, the Beijing Winter Olympics uniforms and equipment were officially unveiled. These uniforms and equipment contain profound cultural connotations and rich scientific and technological content. They perfectly combine functionality, nationality and artistry, and will form a flowing landscape at the Winter Olympics. Its fabric suppliers include Shanghai Jialinjie Textile Co., Ltd. .
It is understood that the uniforms and equipment released this time are for use by Beijing Winter Olympics staff, technical officials and volunteers. They can functionally meet the needs of various work scenes at the Winter Olympics, and are technologically advanced and green. In all aspects, it has reached the advanced level of the industry. The front pattern of the fabric combines traditional Chinese landscape painting with the snowy mountain scene that is the core graphic of the Winter Olympics. The reverse side is a warm fleece fabric. Zhang Yinan, manager of the company’s R&D department, said: “After testing, the thermal performance of this fabric is about twice that of similar products on the market. It also has anti-pilling, anti-static, light, breathable, and high elasticity properties, which can ensure athletes’ safety.” It feels more comfortable to wear.”
Jialinjie also practices green environmental protection and sustainable concepts in all aspects of design and production. Zhang Yinan said: “In the development of clothing fabrics for the Winter Olympics, the company uses recycled yarn made from recycled waste plastic bottles and waste textiles.” Relevant data shows In recent years, Jialinjie has continued to carry out environmental protection upgrades focusing on new raw materials, new processes and new styles. In 2020, the company’s R&D expenses reached 39.015 million yuan; in the first three quarters of this year, another 27 million yuan was invested, ranking among the top in the industry.
Yang Shibin, the company’s president, revealed that relying on its strong R&D capabilities and advanced technology, the company finally signed a supply agreement with Anta, the official partner of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, and became a supplier of uniform fabrics for the Winter Olympics. It also provides Volunteer sports gloves, hats, and related International Olympic Organizing Committee, Chinese delegation and national long-sleeved sweaters to keep warmknitted fabrics.
Jialinjie’s performance has also increased as a result. The recently released third quarter report for 2021 shows that the company’s textile business sales increased significantly in the third quarter. At the same time, due to the continued strengthening of cost and expense control, cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and reasonable control of sales expenses and other expenses, the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies A significant increase compared with the same period last year.
Precision printing makes order volume soar
Shaoxing Qianyong Textile Co., Ltd. is also one of the fabric suppliers for the Beijing Winter Olympics. Xiao Xingshui, general manager of the company, said that the company was able to be selected as a partner by the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee to jointly participate in the supply of clothing fabrics for the Winter Olympics, relying on its unique nylon printing technology and craftsmanship.
Xiao Xingshui pointed out: “Nylon fabric is two to three times stronger than ordinary polyester fabric, and has high requirements on printing technology. Therefore, nylon fabrics are usually printed in solid colors or simple colors. Flower patterns are the main focus. In order to reflect the charm and brushstrokes of Chinese ink painting, the uniform design for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics uses 3D patterns, which have a strong three-dimensional effect and rich color levels, and require extremely high precision in printing. .”
In order to achieve satisfactory results, the company spent nearly 5 months on preliminary proofing alone. “In order to restore the unique colors of the design, we have developed several nano-inks.” Xiao Xingshui said that nano-inks have strong chemical stability and are more environmentally friendly. In terms of color comparison, in addition to using color comparison instruments, designers also conduct strict manual comparison, using 1 square centimeter as a unit, point by point, to strive to achieve the best effect.
In addition to the color, the printing size on the fabric has also been adjusted repeatedly. There are more than 70,000 sets of competition uniforms for Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics staff, technical officials and volunteers, with hundreds of different styles and sizes. “In order to strive for excellence, the designer did not simply enlarge or reduce the proportions, but made corrections little by little after the renderings came out.” Xiao Xingshui said.
Thanks to the favor of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Qianyong Textile’s reputation in the industry has greatly increased, and orders from Canada, New Zealand and other countries have come one after another. “It is expected that the taxable sales this year will reach more than 80 million yuan, double that of last year. The company’s future goal is to seize the commanding heights of fashionable functional fabrics.” Xiao Xingshui said that the company is preparing to make a big move next year and turn the original area of only 5 acres into The factory was expanded to 21 acres, and 10 new production lines were added, increasing production capacity by 1.4 times.
Let a hundred flowers bloom to seize the ice and snow market
Riding on the momentum of sports events, many fabric companies have also launched related products to seize market share.
Jiangsu Sanfeng Special Materials�Technology Co., Ltd. has recently developed a synthetic fabric called NuSkin based on market demand. “This fabric is highly hydrophilic and can shrink and swell according to changes in external humidity. When it shrinks when the external humidity is too low, it will expand the diameter of the vents, thereby obtaining good ventilation and moisture-proof properties; when the external humidity is too low, it will shrink. Excessive external humidity will cause swelling, which will reduce the diameter of the vents, thereby achieving good waterproofing and heat insulation.” According to the relevant person in charge of the company, peptide muscle foam fabrics are 100% water-based from research and development to the entire production process. material, does not contain formaldehyde and dimethylformamide, is environmentally friendly, and is suitable for use in jackets and down jackets.
Zhejiang Jindianzi Textile Co., Ltd., which focuses on the research and development of urban casual fashion fabrics, has also extended its development direction to ski clothing fabrics. The Ski-Snowboard fabric launched by the company has been professionally coated and pressed. It has the advantages of breathability, waterproof, cold-proof, anti-fouling, etc., and can bring consumers a better outdoor skiing experience. The soft shell series combines warm and windproof fabrics with a waterproof layer. The outer layer is waterproof and windproof fabric, and the inner layer is fleece fabric. Its warmth is far superior to traditional jacket fabrics, and it has the advantages of light weight, easy portability, and good breathability.
“Ice and snow sports have become a fashion trend. People not only pursue clothing or material satisfaction, but also gradually transform into a trendy lifestyle.” The relevant person in charge of Suzhou Jinzunfang Textile Co., Ltd. said, The nanotechnology fabric launched by the company meets the needs of current consumers and is waterproof and breathable. It can block the wind, rain and snow outside, and can also diffuse excess heat from the human body.
Suzhou Xingfengqiang Textile Technology Co., Ltd.’s main series of sub-zero velvet-free products has been exported to 31 countries including Australia, Belgium, Canada, and France in just a few years. This series of products means that when the temperature drops below zero, the clothing can still maintain warmth without the need for other fillers such as down. “Products produced using sub-zero down-free technology can not only keep warm but also regulate temperature. More importantly, air is used instead of down, which can reduce the emissions of waste gas and waste water produced by making down, and is more energy-saving and carbon-reducing.” The company is responsible for this. People said that the company also established Zero Down Free Supply Chain Management (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in July this year to better serve domestic and foreign brands and communicate more efficiently with customers at home and abroad.
Industry insiders pointed out that the next few years will be the “golden period” for the development of the ice and snow industry. Whether it is the expansion of market size or the rise of consumer enthusiasm, fabric companies will develop new products Provide strong support. In this context, how to break through the seasonal and regional limitations of fabrics through product upgrades and new technology applications may be the key to the future development of fabric companies.
