In Suizhou, Hubei, there is a company that has taken more than 30 years to achieve the ultimate in "one piece of cloth". Starting from a waterproof fabric factory covering an area of 300 square meters in 1988, Hubei Jinlong New Materials Co., Ltd. has developed into a national high-tech enterprise and a specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprise under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Its products have been widely used in railway transportation, emergency rescue, major engineering and other fields, and have been sold to more than 80 countries and regions.
Railway tarpaulin: a nationally recognized piece of fabric
In 2004, Hubei Jinlong obtained the "Designated Production Enterprise for Transport Reinforcement Materials" license from the former Ministry of Railways and officially entered the field of railway freight tarpaulin.
Railway tarpaulin has extremely high requirements for material performance: it needs to withstand wind impacts of hundreds of kilometers per hour, adapt to temperature differences from -30 ℃ in Northeast China to 40 ℃ in Hainan, withstand wear and corrosion of coal, ore and other goods, and ensure long-term outdoor storage without aging or cracking.
The technical team of Hubei Jinlong has continuously researched and developed specialized tarpaulin materials that meet the above stringent requirements. Currently, half of the railway freight tarpaulins in China come from Jinlong, Hubei.
Expanding from railways to multiple fields
Based on its technological accumulation in the field of tarpaulin, Hubei Jinlong has expanded its product line to multiple professional fields:
In the field of emergency rescue: As a designated emergency rescue tent manufacturer by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Red Cross, its products have played an important role in multiple major disaster rescues. In the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, Jinlong special PVC knife scraper cloth was urgently purchased by the Japanese side due to its high barrier and corrosion-resistant properties.
Major engineering construction: In the 2020 Humen Bridge vortex induced vibration event, Jinlong Company developed and produced 60 pressurized water bags containing 700 tons of water within 36 hours, providing key equipment for the bridge emergency experiment.
High end manufacturing industry: providing wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and anti-static industrial flooring materials for battery production workshops of car companies such as BYD.
Technological innovation drives development
Hubei Jinlong has always adhered to the development concept of "focusing, professionalism, and specialization to make a good piece of cloth", and continues to increase research and development investment:
Deep cooperation with Xu Weilin, an academician of the CAE Member and an expert in textile materials
Jointly establish a research center with Wuhan University of Technology and Wuhan Textile University
Investing over 20 million yuan to build a high-level scientific research center
In 2024, it was recognized as the Hubei Engineering Research Center for the Preparation and Application Technology of Spectral Shielding Coating Materials
Obtained 30 authorized patents from 2021 to 2023, including 6 invention patents
global layout
At present, Hubei Jinlong has five factories and exports its products to more than 80 countries and regions. With the support of the governments of Suizhou City and Zengdu District, enterprises are accelerating the implementation of the "factory export" strategy, planning and constructing logistics parks, promoting the construction of bonded logistics centers, and continuously expanding international markets.
For over 30 years, we have been focusing on the field of new materials. In the future, Hubei Jinlong will continue to be driven by technological innovation, providing customers with better products and services, and making 'Jinlong Manufacturing' go global, "said Rao Jincai, the chairman of the company
