Build the largest underwear industry cluster in China
Lin Yunfeng, president of the China Knitting Industry Association, believes that Shantou’s textile and garment industry needs to continue to make efforts in all aspects to adapt to the new high-quality development – in addition to actively integrating into the new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual circulation promoting each other, the Shantou textile and garment industry also needs to achieve high-quality development under the support of scientific and technological innovation and technology-led, and work together in areas including new materials, new textiles, and intelligent manufacturing.

He said: “The significance of the establishment of the association is to integrate 7,000 textile and garment enterprises in Shantou, jointly plan the future development of the industry, and create the largest underwear industry cluster in China. ”
Plan to hold an international underwear exhibition to start the brand
The reporter learned that although the textile and garment industry in Shantou has a good foundation, there are still shortcomings that need to be developed urgently, such as the overall small scale of enterprises, the serious homogenization of products, the slow pace of transformation and upgrading, and the insufficient effective supply of high-end products, especially in the design, research and development, marketing and other value-added high-end links are relatively weak. The establishment of the Shanxi Textile Association will build a platform for enterprises to brainstorm and attack together.
In the next step, the Shantou Textile Association will also actively plan with the help of resources from all parties to create an international underwear exhibition that belongs to Shantou. According to Weng Chuangjie, the exhibition will solve the problem of a large number of local underwear brand enterprises and sweater companies traveling to various places every year to participate in the exhibition, which is conducive to gathering corporate resources, jointly building regional brands, and helping Shantou Underwear Exhibition to go to the whole country and benchmark the world.
