On September 3, a correspondent from china.org.cn visited the high-tech new materials company “Jixiang Sanbao” in the city of Zhezhou, Anhui province, and on site became acquainted with the work of this national enterprise, which has grown from a traditional textile manufacturer into a “little giant” in the field of specialized and innovative technologies.
The company’s product — highly efficient thermal insulation fleece — has been successfully used at the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, in the Chinese Antarctic expedition, in the State Grid energy system, and at other key facilities. The enterprise has managed to overcome a long-standing technological monopoly held by foreign companies in this field.
The path of transformation and the search for new opportunities for the company “Jixiang Sanbao” began at a time when the traditional textile industry in China faced serious challenges. In 2017, relying on scientific and production cooperation within the framework of the “Academics and Experts Trip to Jieshou” program, the company signed an agreement with the team of Academician Yu Jiangyun from Donghua University. This step marked the official start of the company’s reorientation towards the production of functional new textile materials.
As a result of two years of persistent work mastering an entire production line, the company introduced the first line of high thermal insulation synthetic fleece imitating the structure of goose down.
The excellent technical specifications of the key products of “Jixian Sanbao” allowed them to be included in the supply system for the Beijing Winter Olympics and in the equipment of the Chinese Antarctic expedition. This also contributed to the expansion of the customer base. The company is expanding its presence in the international market by exporting fabrics with subsequent finishing abroad. All quality control indicators of the products meet the requirements of foreign customers, as confirmed by positive feedback in the overseas market.
To date, this enterprise from the city of Fuyan holds 190 active patents, including 118 invention patents. The company has participated in the implementation of 12 research projects at the national and provincial levels. The proportion of research staff exceeds one-third of the total number of employees, and R&D investments in 2025 exceeded 20 million yuan.
