Yesterday morning, in the office of Shaoxing Jinlong Machinery Manufacturing Co., LTD., chairman Jin Zuding looked at last month's report card, a smile appeared on his face: the company's research and development of new products, anti-cut gloves sold more than 10,000 dozen, sales of 500,000 US dollars. This is certainly an exciting statistic for a company that is not very large. Jin Zuding attributed this achievement to clever transformation and upgrading.

Shaoxing Jinlong Machinery Manufacturing Co., LTD., which is located in Keyan Street, Shaoxing County, is a professional manufacturer of knitting machinery such as glove machine, hosiery machine, computer flat machine and various labor protection gloves. Once upon a time, the company's nylon gloves have been its main product. However, in the second half of last year, due to the overall downturn in the world's knitting machinery market and the fierce competition for ordinary labor protection gloves, the sales of gloves produced by Jinlong Machinery once declined.

At this time, a businessman who has business dealings with "Jinlong Machinery" brought a piece of good news to Jin Zuding: At present, the sales situation of anti-cutting gloves used in foreign markets for glass, automobile assembly, military and police is very good, if Jinlong company can produce, he can be responsible for sales. Jin Zuding, who is worried about the fierce competition in the traditional labor protection gloves market and increasingly thin profits, was immediately excited.

Almost without hesitation, Jin Zuding began to prepare for the development of anti-cutting gloves.

Jin first contacted Zhejiang University of Science and Technology for technical cooperation, and then bought raw materials. The main raw material for the production of anti-cutting gloves is a high-strength high-modulus polyethylene fiber, this new fiber and carbon fiber, aramid and known as the world's three major high-performance fiber, is currently the highest strength fiber, included in the national strategic emerging industry development "Twelfth Five-Year" plan, specifically for the production of body armor, parachutes, sea cables.

However, during the test, the researchers found that gloves made only of high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene fibers were not fully anti-cutting. Therefore, Jinlong Machinery Company adds another special fiber through the coating process, so that the anti-cutting level of gloves is greatly improved.

After three or four months of continuous trial production and testing, the anti-cutting gloves produced by Jinlong Machinery Company have passed the test of Hong Kong professional institutions, reaching the highest level of anti-cutting index 5. From the appearance of the glove, it is very ordinary, but it will not break with a sharp knife or a material such as glass. Due to this excellent technology, Jinlong Machinery company has obtained the "pass" for exporting to the European and American markets.

So what benefits does this anti-cutting glove bring to the enterprise?

According to Jin Zuding, this kind of anti-cutting gloves can earn more than 3 yuan per pair of sales, which is more than 10 times the profit of ordinary gloves. As far as "Jinlong" itself is concerned, the sales of anti-cutting gloves only account for 10% of the company's total sales, but the profit accounts for 30%. "Originally, the market for ordinary protective gloves has been gradually shrinking, but such an upgrade in technology has made protective gloves the darling of the market."

Jin Zuding expects that the company will sell 120,000 gloves this year, exports can reach more than 5 million US dollars, of which profits of at least 50%.
