At 15:00 on January 28, a van coming from Sanmen County, Taizhou, Zhejiang, stopped in front of a company in Huangyan District.
Ge Dongying got off the car with a little excitement. She has been working in jackets caulking technology for many years. She has never had the feeling of being needed by her family and the world, making her both excited and nervous. The van stopped at the door of a company called Taizhou Huangyan Yiman Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. This unremarkable factory was one of the few enterprises in Zhejiang Province that had the qualification to produce professional medical protective clothing.
At the critical time point of the current anti-epidemic war, such companies will undoubtedly become the core factories for the production and delivery of "ammunition" to the front-line "battlefield" and the key to alleviating the shortage of anti-epidemic materials.
In this context, the 21st Century Business Herald reporter learned that Zhejiang is currently gathering production capacity, integrating and deploying relevant industrial resources in the province to invest in the production and processing of core anti-epidemic substances such as surgical masks and medical protective clothing. While quickly helping relevant enterprises to resume work and production, we will also make every effort to expand the production capacity of relevant qualified enterprises.
Ge Dongying and her nine workers are under such social needs and urgently embarked on the road of assistance to the Huangyan protective clothing factory.
The most critical link of reinforcements
On January 27, the relevant departments of Sanmen County contacted the Sanmen Jackets Association to convey the news that Huangyan protective clothing production is in short supply.
Pan Litai, president of the Sanmen County Jacket Industry Association,’s mobile phone WeChat kept ringing, “Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economics and Information Technology, Taizhou Economic and Information Bureau and Sanmen County Economic and Information Department jointly issued emergency notices, looking for people with The production enterprises in the rubber technology link happen to have this link in the garment manufacturing process of Sanmen Jackets." Pan Litai recalled to reporters.
Public information shows that Sanmen County, Zhejiang Province, which is rich in small yellow croaker, is an important area for the production and processing of jackets in my country. According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 300 small family workshops producing jackets in the area, with 5000 production workers. With many people, the annual output of jackets has reached more than 20 million pieces, and the annual output value has exceeded 2 billion yuan.
may not have imagined that the occurrence of an epidemic has made this small Linhai county's clothing manufacturing technology one of the key links in the destiny of Zhejiang and even the country.
Ge Dongying and 9 workers came to assist in the caulking technology link, which is the last process of the entire medical protective clothing production line and the most critical link in the production of protective clothing . Workers can only seal the seams of the protective clothing through a professional hot air blower to prevent viruses from penetrating through the seams, so that they can meet the standard requirements for professional protection of medical staff in isolated wards.
In fact, for Eman, which started work urgently on the first day of the Lunar New Year (January 26), when it received the urgent task of resuming production, it was facing the actual difficulties of lack of machines, lack of workers, and even more skilled workers. .
"This type of enterprise may have ordinary business, and there may not be too many workers and equipment. If such an urgent task is temporarily received, this will definitely happen." A person in the Huangyan area close to the above-mentioned enterprise told 21 Century Business Herald reporter, although Zhejiang is a major manufacturing province, the distribution and production capacity of such enterprises was relatively limited before. The increase in production capacity in a short period of time can only be achieved through the overall allocation of resources across the province. Up.
"In Huangyan, the wages of ordinary laminating workers in this type of enterprise are generally around 5,000 per month, while the monthly wages of jacket laminating workers are almost 10,000 per month. There is still a big gap, but in the face of major national events, These assistance workers did not pay for their wages.” Pan Litai told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter, “It is not the time to consider wages at all.” After receiving the task, he thought of trying to deploy skilled workers to support.

21st Century Business Herald reporter interviewed and learned that is currently in the Yiman factory in Taizhou. It has been coordinated by the economic and information departments at all levels in Zhejiang and came from various regions in Zhejiang. Relevant skilled workers are taking turns on the production line 12 hours a day to produce medical protective clothing. Workers
are rushing to make protective clothing. Picture/Pan Litai provided
"Every day at noon in the cafeteria, I can hear many dialects that are not local to Huangyan." Ge Dongqing told reporters, Including the 10 workers supported by Sanmen County, there are now close to 20 workers in the factory responsible for caulking. "Three dishes per meal, two people in a room", the work intensity is basically the same as in the Sanmen jacket factory, except that the medical protective clothing has a higher technical requirement because of the thinner materials.
At this stage, the typical epitome of the production of protective clothing enterprises supported by the laminating workers of the assault suits in Sanmen County reflects the fact that Zhejiang, currently a major manufacturing province, is using the entire province to ensure the urgently needed material production for rear medical care.
Xu Xu, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology, said at a press conference held on January 27 that because the epidemic occurred during the Spring Festival, it has brought challenges to the storage and production of emergency medical materials. At present, Zhejiang is taking a series of effective measures to go all out to grasp production.
Xu Xu said that in order to protect emergency materials for epidemic prevention and control, Zhejiang has launched multiple channels such as pharmaceutical distribution companies, trading companies, and e-commerce platforms to step up coordination and purchase of medical substances, and coordinate Hangzhou Customs and drug supervision departments to open up green channels. Actively open up import channels. In addition, Zhejiang has also established a province-wide deployment system, and established a close liaison and coordination mechanism with the Zhejiang Provincial Health and Health Commission, and meetings a day, to a certain extent alleviate the pressure of emergency material shortage.
The production of protective clothing accelerates to resume
In fact, the shortage of materials for the prevention and control of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic also reflects to a certain extent the reality that my country's relative medical emergency material production capacity is relatively insufficient at the emerging stage.
According to incomplete statistics, there are currently only about 40 domestic production companies that comply with international capacity permits, and they are distributed in 14 provinces. The total production capacity is only 30,000 sets per day. In the current fight against the epidemic, the contradiction between supply and demand is easy. Highlight. In addition, the production of medical protective clothing also has strict requirements on the production environment. Insiders in the above-mentioned industry told reporters that unlike other protective clothing production, medical protective clothing needs to be carried out in a clean production workshop. According to relevant production requirements, a qualified medical protective clothing must be disinfected and sterilized. The production process can meet the requirements, and the whole process takes more than ten days.
In this context, on January 29, the State Council responded to the joint prevention and control mechanism of the pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus infection, and the Material Security Group issued the "Notice on Issues Related to the Production and Use of Protective Clothing During the Epidemic" (hereinafter referred to as " The notice) stated that when medical protective clothing is insufficient, protective clothing of emergency medical protective materials can be used. Under the promotion of this policy, all parts of the country are also urgently promoting the resumption of work and production of relevant qualified enterprises. In Zhejiang, the resumption of production and work of relevant qualified enterprises led and coordinated by government departments is also accelerating and expanding production capacity. Faced with labor shortages during the Spring Festival and epidemic control and prevention, some companies that produce medical devices even offered three times their wages to allow workers to return to work to speed up production.
public reports show that Zhejiang Kanglidi Medical Products Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Longtai Medical Technology Co., Ltd., which have the ability to produce medical masks and medical protective clothing, both stated that nearly half of the production personnel of the company have been in place, and the company is fully restoring production.
is currently adjusting the production capacity of protective clothing in accordance with the requirements of the "Notice" at the Huangyan Yiman factory where Ge Dongqing is located. The relevant person in charge of the factory told reporters that the factory not only added equipment, but also built a new plant. In addition, half of the production line was used to produce medical protective clothing, and the other half was converted to produce emergency medical substances. From the first day of the new year to the present, the production capacity of 4000-5000 pieces can basically be achieved, and all the products produced are uniformly deployed by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology.
In addition, the 21st Century Business Herald reporter also learned that in addition to solving the problem of workers resuming work in the factory, in Huangyan, Zhejiang, the local Rural Commercial Bank also granted a credit and interest-free loan of 5 million yuan to enterprises to meet their financial needs. In addition, Bank of China Taizhou Branch has also set up a financial services team to provide financial services for the company in terms of financing interest rates and settlement channels.
"A worker can glue more than 100 pieces of protective clothing a day, and more than 20 workers can make more than 2,000 pieces a day." Ge Dongqing told reporters that they are more worried about whether they can go back to work in time after the jacket factory starts. The problem. Because from the currently supported factory order scheduling, they may have to postpone their original working hours of about a week, but it is not clear when they will be postponed.
In fact, it may not be long before Ge Dongqing and the others can end this kind of cross-regional assistance.
Not long ago, Wang Jiangping, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, made it clear at a press conference that due to the Spring Festival holiday, production capacity has not been fully utilized. Through the efforts of this period, the area of resumption of work and production has reached 40%. Next, in the face of the shortage of materials for epidemic prevention and control, on the one hand, the central reserve will be used to ensure the demand in the epidemic area; on the other hand, it will be resuming work and production by all means, and the current production capacity will be rapidly increased from 40%.
Xu Xu also stated in the press release that although medical surgical masks, medical protective clothing, disposable surgical gowns and other epidemic prevention items are still in short supply. But because Zhejiang is a big manufacturing province, it has a complete industrial chain system and a high-quality entrepreneur team. In the next step, Zhejiang Province will re-mobilize, re-deploy and re-implement the qualified production enterprises, contract processing export enterprises and trade circulation enterprises that have already been arranged. A difficult one, P Plus support.
