At present, the development of China’s dye industry is facing great pressure.
In view of the changes of national policies and market situation, the layout of dyestuff industry also presents new development characteristics: many dyestuff enterprises choose to lay out their production capacity in coastal areas outside Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and many enterprises also set their sights on the west.
Shandong, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia and other places have become the new choice of dye enterprises besides Zhejiang and Jiangsu.
Under the current new development situation, how does the dye enterprise layout production capacity?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of developing dye industry in different provinces?
In the process of production capacity transfer of dyestuff enterprises, what kind of problems exist?
 

The accident in North Jiangsu to accelerate the layout adjustment

The Yangtze River Economic Belt has always been the traditional petrochemical industry cluster in China, but also the dye and intermediate industry concentration area.
After the “3·21″ particularly serious explosion accident of Jiangsu Xiangshui Tianjiayi Chemical Industry Co., LTD last year, the chemical industry parks in Xiangshui county, Binhai County and Dafeng District under the jurisdiction of Yancheng were all suspended, and the enterprises in adjacent Lianyungang Guannan county and Guanyun County chemical industry parks were also all suspended.
A number of listed dyestuff companies, including Leap Earth, Jihua group and Anoqi, have production operations in these places.
Among them, the main production concentration of ST Yabang Group located in Lianyungang Chemical Industry Park in Guannan County, has not been able to resume production.

In this situation, dye enterprises have adjusted their industrial layout.
On July 3, Annuoci announced that jiangsu Annuoci, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, signed the “Xiangshui Eco-Chemical Park Enterprise Withdrawal Compensation Agreement” with jiangsu Xiangshui Eco-Chemical Park Management Committee to withdraw from The Xiangshui Chemical Park.
Ji Lijun, chairman of Annuoqi, told reporters that since Jiangsu Annuoqi stopped production, the company has met the needs of major customers through outsourcing, import and other ways, and has been preparing for the preparation of a dye project in Yantai, Shandong province.
At present, the Yantai project has completed the procedures of project approval and environmental impact assessment, etc., and will speed up the project progress, strive for early completion and production, to meet the market demand.

In addition, on January 17 this year, Golden Rooster, located in Taixing, Jiangsu Province, signed the Framework Agreement of Cooperation Project with Ningdong Energy and Chemical Base Management Committee of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, planning to invest in the construction of dye intermediates, disperse dyes and dilute acid regeneration projects in Ningdong.

Although many companies have moved their production capacity out of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, others have moved into jiangsu and Zhejiang, which are closest to the downstream and export markets.
Qicai Chemical, based in Anshan, Liaoning province, announced on April 10 that it would increase its investment in Shaoxing Shangyu Xinli Chemical Co., LTD.
‘In order to consolidate the competitive advantage of its benzimidazolone series of organic pigments, highlight the scale effect of its core product and get a good return on investment, we will increase the capital of Shangyu Xinli with our own capital of 112.28 million yuan,’ the announcement said.
 

The west into the East move the goal of the same destination

As we can see, there are three main directions for dyestuffs enterprises to adjust their industrial layout: some enterprises return to the location of their basic production capacity, which is reflected in the gradual return of production capacity layout;
Some are moving east to more developed coastal areas to get closer to markets;
Still have a few enterprises to enter west inland, take the east wind of country western development greatly, realize industrial shift.
Although different enterprises choose different directions, they all aim to optimize their products and supply chain, enhance their competitiveness and anti-risk ability, and their ultimate goals lead to the same destination.

For example, dyestuff enterprises move back to the base area, on one hand, has a deep foundation in the local, development is more handy;
Second, it can reduce the diversification of investment and increase the input-output ratio.
Xu Changjin, Deputy general manager and secretary of the board of Directors, said The company would focus on strengthening its capacity layout in its “headquarters” in Shandong in the future.
“Anoki has invested in Shandong for many years, and shandong’s raw material supply, customer resources and local government services are very suitable for the development of the enterprise.”

Discussing the advantages and disadvantages of developing dyes in Shandong, Mr Xu said: “You can’t say whether Shandong, Jiangsu or Zhejiang is absolutely good, it’s hard to say.
Think about where we have the foundation.”
According to Mr Xu, The company acquired its first factory in Penglai before going public.
Although Jiangsu and Zhejiang region is the concentration of dye enterprises, but in the initial stage of the enterprise, limited by capital and other factors, may not be able to find a suitable site.
And in Shandong Penglai foothold, Anuoji continued to increase the investment, to achieve development and growth.
“The foundation of Anoxi is in Shandong, and the management and operation of Shandong Chemical Industrial Park is very perfect,” Xu said. “In the future, we will focus on strengthening Shandong.”

In addition, dye enterprises choose to set up factories in Shandong, northwest and other places, there is another reason, is the relatively low investment costs in these areas.
And zhejiang area because chemical industry enterprise is concentrated, land resource is deficient, cost is high.
Sun Yang, chairman of Haixiang Pharmaceutical, told reporters that the key for dyestuff enterprises is to build a new production and manufacturing system of industrial Internet of things through equipment upgrading and technological transformation, so as to maintain the advanced nature of environmental protection and the controllability of safe production. Such factories can be built anywhere.

It is understood that Taizhou has always been the headquarters of Haixiang Pharmaceutical Co., LTD. At present, the 155,500 ton reactive dye project and supporting projects located in Taizhou headquarters of Haixiang Pharmaceutical Co., LTD. Have been completed as scheduled.
Starting from the design and control of the source, supported by advanced equipment selection, this project integrates the concepts of automatic production control, sealing of the process flow, pipelining of material transportation, and continuous production process, and adds a number of reactive and acidic dye varieties to enrich the product sequence.
The new production capacity of supporting intermediates will further consolidate the advantages of core intermediates and provide support for the subsequent strategic planning of developing active, dispersed and acidic anthraquinone serialization product lines with key intermediates as the core.
 

● Industry into the west now good “a game of chess”

In recent years, with the continuous development policy of the west, coupled with the continuous pressure of The Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chemical Industry Park, many dye enterprises began to move to the northwest.
Compared with the eastern region, the western region has prominent advantages: the population is not so dense, and chemical enterprises have relatively little influence on living. Meanwhile, the land price in the western region is relatively lower, so the pressure on enterprises to relocate will be reduced. In addition, the western region also has chemical foundation, so it can better accept the relocation of chemical enterprises.

Reporters learned that, in addition to listed companies such as Golden Pheasant shares, there are many emerging enterprises will put their dye and intermediate projects to the western region.
For example, gansu Yonghong Dyeing and Chemical project with an annual output of 5,000 tons of Tojic acid was completed and put into operation at the end of 2018, with a total investment of 180 million yuan. The project is located in Gaotai County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province.
Wuhai Bluestone Chemical Co., LTD. ‘s high-fastness disperse dye project is located in Hainan Industrial Park, Wuhai city, Inner Mongolia. The first-phase high-fastness disperse dye project, with a total investment of 300 million yuan, will start construction in June 2018.
In addition, the 10,000-ton/year project of Wuhai Shili Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. which is under construction, and the 2,000-ton/year intermediate project of Gansu Yuzhong Mingda Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. which was put into operation before the May 1st, have also settled in the western region.

For dyestuff enterprises, choosing to expand production capacity in western regions has considerable advantages in cost and local government support.
For the local government, the arrival of dye enterprises also plays a great role in improving the local chemical industry chain.
However, in the process of moving west, there are still many problems, among which environmental protection is the most prominent contradiction.

In recent years, some people in the industry have reported to this reporter that the backward production capacity of some dyestuff and intermediate industries has not been upgraded, but simply transferred the backward technology to the west, north and towns.
In addition to Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, Jilin and Heilongjiang in northeast China and Gansu in northwest China have also become important target areas for new projects of dyestuff and intermediate enterprises.
Environmental pollution incidents caused by the relocation of backward industries occur from time to time in some areas.
The dyestuff and intermediate industry does not necessarily cause high pollution, and pollution prevention and control should be improved through governance and rule of law improvement, said Deputy to the National People’s Congress and deputy director of the Technology Center of Zhejiang Longsheng Group Co., LTD.
In the context of dye and intermediate industry migration, regional coordinated development plans should be formulated as a whole, and total environmental control should be done well.
He suggested that the western region adhere to the precision of industrial development planning, precision operation of industrial undertaking, precision docking of industrial projects, and promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure.
At the same time, according to the matching of transferred industries and local resources, the plan of undertaking industrial transfer is formulated to realize the goal of maximizing resource efficiency and developing circular economy.
