Jack wolfskin、patagonia、lafuma…… In the coastal industrial area Zhejiang Dongjin Materials Co., Ltd In the archives, there are many international first-line sports brands on display. Dongjin new materials provides fabrics for these international brands all year round, mainly sports functional fabrics. To be able to cooperate with international first-line sports brands, Dongjin new materials has its own magic weapon, which is to continuously develop advanced fabrics and build a professional R & D team.

In Keqiao, small and medium-sized enterprises are no longer synonymous with backward and small-scale industries. High value-added and high-tech “invisible champions” enterprises are penetrating into the local capillary vessels of their respective subdivisions with the spirit of meticulous concentration, and are going deeper with the power of science and technology, becoming the endless force for the transformation of local economy and the transformation of new and old kinetic energy.

The industry takes “specialized and special new” small and medium-sized enterprises as a special category and gives priority to support, so as to promote new breakthroughs in quality and efficiency of small and medium-sized enterprises. Zhejiang Province has listed the cultivation of a number of small and medium-sized enterprises with “specialty, specialty and innovation” and “invisible champion” in the provincial government’s “made in China 2025 Zhejiang action plan”, and as one of the main goals of building a strong manufacturing province in 2020. For the small and medium-sized textile enterprises in Keqiao, from the “extensive development” blindly at the beginning to the “specialized and special new” road, the small and medium-sized enterprises competing for the “invisible champion” are the active “changes” in the face of the new situation, and also the exploration of their own development path.

Although the “specialized and special new” SMEs have broad market prospects, they also face many common problems, such as the rapid rise of production factor costs, financing difficulties and high financing costs, heavy tax burden, high institutional transaction costs and so on. Keqiao district also launched a series of measures to give all-round support to small and medium-sized enterprises from the aspects of tax preference, fund reward and subsidy, financing support, market development and cost reduction. The purpose of these measures is to establish policy guidance, guide SMEs to continue to focus on their main business, and then move forward to high value-added areas.

high quality development of manufacturing industry

This year, Keqiao District proposed high quality development of manufacturing industry “Walking fish project” Enterprises are encouraged to go deep into industry segments and make specialized products with the “specialty” of stepping fish. We will thoroughly implement Zhejiang Province’s “young eagle action”, promote the development of small and medium-sized enterprises “upgrading to the scale” and “specialization and innovation”, promote the core links of key industrial chains in each industrial cluster, realize the full coverage of “invisible champions” enterprises, cultivate a number of national “single champion” enterprises (products) and “small giant” enterprises, strive to add more than 120 enterprises above the designated size every year, and by 2022, new training will be carried out We will cultivate 20 “invisible champions” enterprises and increase 1200 “specialized and special new” enterprises, and strive to form a good pattern for the integration and development of large and medium-sized enterprises. At present, more than 900 enterprises in the whole region have entered the provincial “specialized and special new” enterprise cultivation library. We have reason to believe that with the continuous expansion of the team of small and medium-sized enterprises with “specialty and special innovation”, more individual champions will emerge in the future and become the new backbone of Keqiao Textile.

Small and medium-sized enterprises with “specialty and special innovation” also have great achievements

It is an important magic weapon for small and medium-sized enterprises to get out of difficulties and win by surprise. In particular, this year, the sudden impact of the epidemic, the production and operation of small and medium-sized enterprises are further under pressure, and their survival is becoming more and more difficult. They should adhere to the development path of “specialization, specialty and innovation” in order to occupy a place in the fierce market competition.

In Keqiao, small and medium-sized textile enterprises play an extremely important role in the supply chain, but they are often difficult to establish a good cooperative relationship with large-scale enterprises because of poor technology and quality, which is commonly referred to as “volume”. And “specialization and innovation” is an important way to promote the inclusive development of large and medium-sized enterprises. Only by breaking through the long-term relationship between large and medium-sized enterprises in terms of quality and fine supply chain, can small and medium-sized enterprises establish a long-term relationship with qualified suppliers and establish a stable supply chain.

Speeding up the digital and intelligent transformation is also an important starting point for Keqiao Textile Enterprises to realize the development of “specialty, specialty and innovation”. During this period, many textile enterprises actively participated in the innovation of the epidemic management mode.

Although small and medium-sized enterprises are small, they are the capillaries and nerve endings of Keqiao Economic Development. Keqiao “specialized and special new” textile enterprises do not need to blindly expand the scale in the process of development, but should continue to focus on doing deep, meticulous and specialized, and constantly master the core technology at the key nodes of industrial development, thus having a far-reaching influence on the development of the industry.
