Hengli (Guiyang) Industrial Park: a big industry behind fabric
How big is a manufacturing facility of 227 hectares? Roughly the size of 317 standard football pitches. It can produce 500,000 meters of high-end fabric per day, about 1,250 times the perimeter of a standard track and field arena. A water jet loom used here can produce 300 meters of cloth per day, which is enough to make 200 pieces of clothing.
What we are talking about is Hengli (Guiyang) Industrial Park in Guian New Area. With a total investment of 22 billion yuan, the park will cover 534 hectares of land upon completion according to the plan. It will be equipped with 20,000 state-of-the-art smart machines, including 10,000 looms, which can produce more than 1 billion meters of high-end fabrics per year. After being put into operation at full capacity, the project will be able to produce 26 billion yuan worth of products per year, pay 3.7 billion yuan in tax annually, and create 15,000 jobs. The project now goes full steam ahead.
Construction of the industrial park commenced at the end of 2020, only 52 days after the signing of the contract. The great efficiency reflects the joint efforts of Guiyang and Guian to create an excellent environment for investors.
