History Of Water Tanning (Pig Skin)

Recently, water head tanning enterprises are making great efforts to carry out pollution control and industrial upgrading. Enterprise resources have been effectively integrated and industry production is more standardized. The "skin" of water head is undergoing qualitative changes, and has gone through "growing pains": the traditional leather industry has moved towards deep processing and finishing processing, and the added value of products has been further improved. Intensive operation and scale enterprises have become the "axis of the leather industry".

According to the introduction, water head leather making has a long history. As early as the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Huaicheng, the founder of the mountain, started the most primitive tanning production by using a split knife with three layers of skin.

"Every household has to drum up and spread the pig skin to dry the pavement". This is a vivid description of hundreds of years of traditional leather handicraft industry.

After the reform and opening up, tanning as the traditional pillar industry of the water head town was also a large-scale development. By the year 2003, the tannery enterprises of the whole town had developed to 1261, and processed pig leather reached more than 100 million pieces, becoming the largest market for raw leather trade, pigskin leather Distribution center and processing field in the country.

The more than 4000 revolving drum keeps turning day and night, although it brings 3 billion 800 million yuan annual output value, it also brings about 80 thousand tons of industrial sewage discharged daily.

"Economic development and environmental debt" have become an insurmountable chasm for sustainable development of water head leather.

How to keep this "skin"?

The whole county has come up with the determination and courage to break ranks.

Since 2003, the tannery industry has undergone two improvements. In 2007, it finally succeeded in taking off the environmental pollution cases of the state and the province and the "hat" of the strict control area, which crossed the threshold of EIA for new projects to settle down.

"Renovating, shuffling and upgrading" the tannery industry has been reborn after the rebirth of Phoenix.

To do this "leather" well, we must take the road of intensive management and large-scale enterprise development.

The town starts with the integration of enterprise resources.

Since 2003, we have adopted the measures of consolidation and consolidation to integrate the more than 1600 family businesses which are originally family workshops into 39 enterprises.

At the same time, enterprises should be encouraged to take the road of intensive management and pay close attention to the "entering rate, operating rate, completion rate and production rate" of industrial parks, so as to promote enterprises to become bigger and stronger.

Up to now, the Jianan ancient bamboo leather production base has gradually improved its municipal facilities. At present, 14 enterprises have been completed and put into operation, and 2 enterprises have entered the field to start construction, and the overall image of the base has gradually emerged.

At the same time, a number of leather finishing industries sprung up in traditional industries have sprung up. Belts, leather goods, pet feed, gelatin and other industries have stretched the traditional leather industry chain, making it more competitive.

It is understood that in 2007, in the case of a comprehensive renovation of leather industry, the gross domestic product of leather products increased by 11% over the same period in 2007, and for the first time exceeded 2 billion yuan mark, reaching 2 billion 198 million yuan.

At the same time, the town is also based on brand building.

Under the guidance of the business philosophy of "environmental protection and brand building", the town has emerged a number of famous brands in provinces and municipalities, and the leather belts produced by the company and the blue seagull company have also become the national inspection free products. The leather belts produced by the blue seagull company and the chrome free tanning leather shoes made by overseas Chinese are rated as the famous brand products in the city.
