In the first year of the “14th Five-Year Plan”, faced with challenges such as persistent trade environment risks, changes in the division of labor and cooperation in the international textile industry, and the in-depth development of a new round of scientific and technological revolution, how can enterprises grasp the changes and the unchanged, and transform Crisis as opportunity? As the source of the textile industry, the development direction of chemical fiber companies, especially those among the top 500 in China, can best reflect the layout of the industry to a certain extent. To this end, we explored the big moves of eight strong companies since the beginning of the year.
Hengli Group
Layout in the field of degradable plastics
On February 1, Hengli Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Hengli Petrochemical”) officially signed a contract to produce 300,000 tons of PBS biodegradable plastics per year. So far, Hengli Petrochemical has signed 933,000 tons of degradable new material projects and will build the largest and highest-capacity degradable new material production base in China. It is understood that Hengli Petrochemical has signed two major PBS biodegradable plastic projects with an annual output of 600,000 tons and an annual output of 300,000 tons in just ten days. Both of them use Hengli’s independently developed process technology and formula, which will greatly alleviate the problem. There is a gap between supply and demand of domestic PBS biodegradable plastics.
In terms of PTA project construction, Hengli Group has increased its investment. On January 7, Hengli (Huizhou) Industrial Park officially started construction. The PTA project in the industrial park has a total investment of 15 billion yuan, focusing on the construction of 5 million tons/year PTA equipment and auxiliary facilities. It has “large investment scale, strong production capacity, and technological know-how.” High level, low energy consumption” and other characteristics. In July this year, the first phase of the Hengli (Guiyang) Industrial Park project will be completed and put into operation. The project will adopt world-class advanced equipment and production technology in accordance with the requirements of “high-end, green, and intensive” and focus on the construction of high-end simulated silk, etc. High-end textile fabrics, high-end special functional polyester films and other industrial projects. The group now owns one of the PTA factories with the largest production capacity in the world, one of the largest functional fiber production bases and weaving enterprises in the world, with 120,000 employees, and a national “Enterprise Technology Center”. Its corporate competitiveness and product brand value rank among the world’s At the forefront of the industry.
Chen Jianhua, Chairman of Hengli Group, believes that enterprise development must have an international vision and forward thinking. Every project built and every industry developed must become a global industry benchmark. , ensuring that we will not fall behind for 10 years or even longer. When talking about how enterprises can develop with high quality during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, he said that the key to enterprise innovation lies in research and development, and the core is talent. In the face of major changes, they must dare to venture, dare to try, dare to be the first in the world, and “center on the industrial chain Deploy the innovation chain and lay out the industrial chain around the innovation chain” to create a new situation of high-quality development. Petrochemical companies must put safety, environmental protection, and ecology first, and strive to build parks and enterprises that are “the safest, most environmentally friendly, excellent internally, and beautiful externally”, and make greater contributions to Beautiful China, Healthy China, and Safe China.
Hengyi Group
“Shuanglun” drives core business
At the beginning of the new year, Hengyi Group’s annual polymerization capacity reached 10.06 million tons, taking the lead among global peers to break through the 10 million tons mark. At present, Hengyi Group has formed the core business of the petrochemical industry chain driven by the two-wheel drive of “polyester + nylon”, with petrochemical finance and supply chain services as growth businesses, and differentiated fiber products and industrial intelligent technology applications as emerging businesses.
“10 million tons” is not just a number for Hengyi Group, but also a milestone event. It marks that Hengyi Group’s “column-shaped” industrial structure is more optimized, the polyester, nylon and “double fiber” industrial layout is more complete, and the market voice is more powerful. “Now each of our chemical fiber factories is equivalent to the gas stations of upstream PTA and PX. It may not be a very profitable product, but it is a channel to ensure upstream competitiveness and a cash flow platform.” Hengyi Qiu Jianlin, chairman of the group, said.
In the 20 years since it took the lead among private enterprises in the country to build the first polyester melt direct spinning production line on May 18, 2001, Hengyi Group has adhered to the backward integration strategy and formed It has transformed the industrial pattern of “one drop of oil, two threads” and has become a multi-national conglomerate worth hundreds of billions in integrated operation of the entire industrial chain. Under the new economic pattern of “internal circulation” promoting “dual circulation”, according to the development blueprint drawn by Hengyi Group’s “Sixth Five-Year Plan” from 2021 to 2025, it will adhere to the petrochemical industry as the core and closely focus on high-quality development and innovative development, in accordance with the trinity development model of “headquarters + scientific research + base”, actively build 1 platform, 2 centers and 6 bases to better achieve “upstream and downstream collaboration, domestic and overseas linkage, software and hardware supporting”, and become A world-class comprehensive petrochemical-chemical fiber service provider.
In terms of overseas production capacity layout, as a key project of the “One Belt and One Road” – Hengyi Brunei Petrochemical Project is known as the flagship cooperation project between China and Brunei, with an investment of 3.45 billion in the first phase of the project USD, was fully completed and put into operation in November 2019, completely opening up the “last mile” of integrated operation of the entire industry chain, and creating a 10-million-ton refinery with the shortest commissioning time, the most stable process and HSE in the global petrochemical industry. A new record for best performance. Full investment in the first phase��Upgrade.
