Accelerating the transformation of the leather industry

Recently, companies across the country have set off an upsurge in the elimination of old-fashioned production equipment. The "equipment revolution" has begun to "quickly go." Through the introduction of new equipment and new technologies, local leather enterprises have reduced energy consumption, improved their competitiveness, and accelerated their transformation and upgrading. At the same time, the “equipment revolution” has received strong support from the government. Elimination and rectification are not simply restrictions on development, but rather improvement and industrial upgrade. This is particularly important in such high-pollution industries as leather.

The old-fashioned production facilities have been phased out recently. The Henan Provincial Government announced in an announcement that Henan Province will eliminate backward production capacity by the industry in 2011, including 10 tanneries, eliminating a total of 750,300 out-of-date production capacity, and 7 places in Jiaozuo City. Wan Biaozhang, Zhoukou City, 2 homes with 241,000 signatures and Shangqiu with 250,000 official titles.

While the leather industry in Jinjiang shuts down polluting enterprises and eliminates outdated production capacity, the work is divided into three phases: the first phase, the closure of heavily polluted leather companies in 2010, the elimination of leather enterprises with a scale of 30,000 or less per year; Prior to 2012, further closure of the contaminated leather business and elimination of backward production capacity of 100,000 sheets per year will be eliminated. In the third phase, outdated leather production capacity of 300,000 sheets per year will be eliminated. It is understood that there are 63 companies in Jinjiang Kemu Jihua District, of which only 5 have a scale of 300,000 target sheets/year.

The renewal of equipment will also bring benefits to tanneries. The demand for highly efficient and energy-saving leather equipment will increase significantly. In fact, this is also a phase-out battle for machinery companies, and low-quality products will eventually be eliminated by the market.

Government incentives to actively eliminate outdated production capacity In 2007, the central government set up a special fund to reward enterprises in underdeveloped regions for eliminating backward production capacity. In 2010, the state initially arranged for 4 billion yuan in award funds. The Ministry of Finance stated that in the arrangement and use of funds, it is necessary to strengthen communication and consultation and give full play to the role of the competent department of the industry. Local industrial and informatization authorities should consult with the financial departments to make good use of reward funds. At the same time, local governments must raise funds in accordance with the requirements of the State Council. The funds support the elimination of backward production capacity in the region. Based on the actual conditions in the region, Guangdong Province will reward enterprises that have actively eliminated backward production capacity. For enterprises that actively eliminate backward production capacity, it is necessary to do a good job in the collection and preservation of outdated production capacity data and data for review by related departments.
