Located in Xiajin county, Dezhou, Shandong province, Shandong Hongtaiding New Material Technology Co Ltd stands as a beacon of innovation in the textile industry. This high-tech enterprise specializes in the production of lyocell fibers, a sustainable alternative to traditional fibers that has revolutionized the industry's approach to eco-friendly manufacturing.

Hongtaiding's unique processes and cutting-edge technologies have propelled the company to the forefront of green fiber material research and production. Its lyocell fibers, derived from renewable bamboo and wood pulp, embody the pinnacle of sustainable textile innovation. These fibers seamlessly blend the strength of viscose with the breathability and comfort of cotton, all while exuding the smoothness of silk.

The production of lyocell fibers involves primarily physical reactions, reducing energy consumption by 20 to 30 percent compared to conventional methods. Additionally, lyocell garments are more biodegradable, further minimizing their environmental impact.

The company's commitment to energy conservation and the reduction of carbon emissions has not only earned it the respect of the industry but also secured them a steady stream of orders from renowned brands like Adidas and Nike. In 2023, the company achieved sales revenue of 604 million yuan ($83 million), and they anticipate further growth, setting a revenue target of 950 million yuan for this year.

The textile industry has long been the cornerstone of Xiajin's economy, and Hongtaiding's lyocell fibers have not only extended the county's textile industrial chain but also laid the foundation for a development trajectory characterized by high-end, intelligent, and eco-friendly textile production.
