Footwear cluster agglomeration effect is obvious

At the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games, the Chinese sports delegation wore leather shoes from Houjie Qi Sheng shoes, including the giant shoes that Yao Ming wore at that time. In just a few years, Qisheng shoes has completed the "three stage jump" from OEM to brand creation, independent research and development, and then to the establishment of sales channels. Since the financial crisis, its sales outlets have been increasing from 25 to 100. However, the success of Qisheng shoe industry is only a microcosm of Houjie shoe industry.

Houjie owns 500 shoe making enterprises and employs 150 thousand people, with a total investment of 400 million US dollars. In 2010, Houjie produced 600 million pairs of shoes, accounting for 4% of the world shoe industry output, and the annual output value was 20 billion 900 million yuan, accounting for 51.2% of the total industrial output value of the whole town. Footwear exports amounted to 543 million US dollars, accounting for 13% of the total export volume of the town, accounting for 1/4 of the total export value of footwear exported to the whole province. According to incomplete statistics, in 2010, there were 175 shoe factories with an annual production volume of more than 2 million pairs, and 120 domestic and foreign shoe making enterprises operating income exceeding 10 million and 120 respectively. The local private shoe enterprises in Houjie have created 35 domestic brands, such as "Di Bao Zhi o" and "women fragrance".

As a fast developing industrial cluster, Houjie shoe industry has relatively complete industrial support. It is said that there is no shoe material that can not be bought in thick street. Indeed, the upper and lower reaches of leather industry such as leather, shoes, shoes, personnel, logistics, footwear, trade, R & D and so on have been developing rapidly. There are more than 4500 leather and shoe materials produced and operated in Houjie, and more than 1000 manufacturers of leather, shoes, shoes and hardware, of which nearly 300 are shoe makers.

The United States, Brazil, Japan and other countries in the thick Street engaged in footwear processing, trade and procurement staff of more than 5000 people.

"Four platforms" help upgrade shoe industry

The thick street shoe industry has gradually built up the "four big platforms" which include R & D design, quality inspection, personnel training and information consultation. Houjie has set up the leading group of Dongguan international footwear innovation center, Dongguan footwear brand alliance and Houjie shoe industry specialized technology innovation work. Over 80% of the shoe enterprises above the town level have design departments or R & D departments. Such as Huabao shoe industry's annual R & D investment amounted to about 43000000 yuan, 3 patents for invention and 6 utility models.

Among the 500 shoe manufacturing enterprises in the town, there are more than 170 enterprises with independent R & D institutions and R & D teams. Among them, there are 6 R & D centers providing open services to the outside world. In 2009, we completed 95 technological innovation and transformation projects, and completed 26 transformation projects.

At present, there are nearly 10 well-known shoe brand R & D centers located in Houjie. The town has 10 national high-tech enterprises, 79 provinces, public technology enterprises, 19 city patent cultivation enterprises, 6 patent pilot enterprises, and 4 provincial and municipal engineering technology research and development centers. In 2009, Houjie was included in the fourth batch of Guangdong industrial cluster upgrading demonstration area.

Along with the rapid development of the shoe industry in Houjie, there are also some innovative Street experiences such as the "Hongyun model".

To improve the efficiency of land management, Houjie Town has transferred 6 labor-intensive enterprises that produce hardware, ceramics and shoe materials, and has integrated 6 old factories into two stages of shoe material specialized market. It has formed a large comprehensive shoe and shoe material excipient trade center integrating commerce, office, warehousing, finance, logistics, catering, accommodation and other supporting services to better integrate domestic and foreign shoe and shoe manufacturers and suppliers to form a huge shoe material and footwear industry chain market. In September 2008, Dongguan was listed as the demonstration unit of "retreating into the second and the third" project and the demonstration point of transformation and upgrading. As a model of operation and learning by the Dongguan municipal government, it was named the "Hongyun mode" by the government. Wang Yang, Secretary of the Guangdong provincial Party committee, gave high praise and appreciation to Hongyun Plaza project and "Hongyun mode".

The target is "world shoe capital".

Houjie is particularly ambitious in promoting the development of shoemaking industry. Dongguan's footwear industry transformation and upgrading and cluster development policy support program, which is led by Houjie, has revealed that by 2015, the volume of shoes produced in Dongguan will reach 1 billion 910 million pairs, and the total output value and sales revenue will reach 80 billion 500 million yuan. In 2015, Dongguan will be set up as the shoe industry in the world, which integrates shoes R & D design center, shoe trade center, shoe brand distribution center and shoe production base.

The plan puts forward a plan to invest about 160 million US dollars to develop and build the world shoe industry headquarters base, and focuses on importing shoe research and development institutions, international trade purchasers, shoe manufacturers and branding manufacturers all over the country, international and domestic raw material suppliers and footwear supporting service agencies. The total annual turnover is expected to reach 50 billion yuan.

The world shoe industry (Asia) headquarters, which covers an area of 180 thousand square meters, a building area of about 400000 square meters and a total investment of $160 million, has been built in Houjie eco technology industrial park. It is estimated that after the completion of the project, 3000 independent industrial and commercial households can be inviting and 20 thousand to 30 thousand people will be employed.
