Recently, construction of the new high-end intelligent equipment manufacturing base of Jiangsu Xinzeqi Machinery Co., Ltd. has been progressing steadily. As a national-level “Little Giant” enterprise specializing in niche markets with advanced technologies, Xinzeqi is building on more than two decades of expertise in textile machinery R&D and manufacturing. With the new factory serving as a strategic foundation, the company is continuing to strengthen the core technologies and industrialization capabilities of Papertex™ paper yarn, supporting the sustainable transformation of the textile industry.
With a total investment of RMB 1 billion, Xinzeqi’s new production base is located in Fenghuang Town, Zhangjiagang. The project will consolidate the company’s existing facilities in the Shuanglong area and Youyi Road into one integrated site. The new base will include high-standard modern manufacturing facilities, intelligent production workshops, a new materials R&D and testing center, and dedicated sample exhibition areas.
The facility will introduce comprehensive digital production management systems and automated precision-processing production lines. Key functions will focus on the R&D of complete paper yarn production equipment, sample testing, pilot-scale production, and mass production, creating an integrated chain covering equipment development, process optimization, paper yarn sampling, and large-scale manufacturing.
Powered by its proprietary Paperwasp® biomimetic patented technology, Xinzeqi has successfully achieved a domestic breakthrough in complete production equipment for environmentally friendly paper yarn. Papertex paper yarn is made from sustainably sourced wood pulp through precision slitting and twisting processes. It combines a lightweight structure, excellent breathability, skin-friendly comfort, and natural biodegradability.
Papertex is highly compatible with a wide range of textile manufacturing technologies, including circular knitting machines, weaving looms, and computerized flat knitting machines, and can be applied across diverse categories such as apparel, home textiles, and functional fabrics.
Once the new factory is completed, it will significantly expand production capacity for high-end fancy yarn machinery and dedicated paper yarn equipment. The facility is designed to achieve an annual paper yarn production capacity of 3,000 tons, while the new production area will also focus on the specialized manufacturing of standard 37 Nm and 50 Nm paper yarns.
At the same time, the new facility will establish a professional paper yarn testing and development center, enabling Xinzeqi to provide domestic and international apparel and textile customers with a comprehensive one-stop service covering sample development, process optimization, and small-batch trial production. This will help address long-standing industry challenges such as lengthy sampling cycles, inconsistent processing performance, and limited supply availability.
As global fashion brands continue to increase their demand for low-carbon solutions, sustainable and biodegradable materials are becoming a major direction for the textile industry. Xinzeqi will use the new production base as an innovation platform to continuously refine paper yarn manufacturing processes while further enhancing the quality consistency and supply reliability of Papertex paper yarn.
Looking ahead, Xinzeqi aims to work closely with textile partners across the global supply chain to promote the adoption of sustainable paper yarn materials, support carbon reduction goals, and jointly build a greener and more sustainable textile ecosystem.
