In Keqiao, Shaoxing – known as the “International Textile City” – thousands of textile industry enterprises are gathered. Among them, Shaoxing Hengwen Mesh Fabric Co., Ltd., a manufacturer specializing in R&D of plastic extruded mesh and woven mesh, is building its core competitiveness in a niche market through continuous technological deepening and product innovation. Recently, the company achieved a new breakthrough in green and environmentally friendly technologies, obtaining a utility model patent for a “biodegradable plastic mesh fabric.”

Focusing on a Niche Market to Achieve Differentiation

Shaoxing Hengwen Mesh Fabric Co., Ltd. was established in 2012 and is located in Keqiao District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. It is a small manufacturing enterprise dedicated to the R&D of plastic extruded mesh and woven mesh. Since its founding, the company has focused on technological accumulation and product development in the plastic mesh fabric field. It is now a professional manufacturer of products such as plastic safety fences, plastic grid mesh, plastic diamond mesh, plastic hexagonal mesh, and woven mesh.

In recent years, the Shaoxing textile industry has faced increasingly fierce market competition, frequent price wars, and mounting pressure on the industrial chain. The phenomenon of “involution” has become an unavoidable challenge for many companies. Rather than expanding blindly, Shaoxing Hengwen Mesh Fabric has chosen to deepen its expertise in the plastic mesh niche. The company occupies approximately 3,000 square meters of factory space and is equipped with two warp knitting machines and two plastic extruders, generating an average annual operating revenue of RMB 7.01 million to 10 million. These solid operational figures demonstrate that this “small but refined” enterprise, rooted in Keqiao for more than a decade, is standing firm in the industry through dedication and specialization.

Patent Breakthroughs Demonstrate Innovation Strength

Technological innovation is the core driver of Shaoxing Hengwen Mesh Fabric’s development. According to Tianyancha, a corporate information platform, the company currently holds 11 patents, covering multiple key aspects of plastic mesh fabric production.

In April 2026, the company was granted a utility model patent titled “Biodegradable Plastic Mesh Fabric” (Patent No. CN224160782U, filed in February 2025). According to the patent abstract, the technology optimizes the mesh structure and winding mechanism. Specifically, one end of the mesh body forms an exposed strip to which a flexible strip is fixed. The flexible strip is provided with snap-connection holes, and snap-connection points are used to form a relatively fixed winding ring. This design prevents excessive bending of the mesh body at the winding ring position during each winding operation, thereby avoiding plastic deformation and ensuring the mesh fabric remains flat and undistorted after unwinding. Moreover, the patent uses PLA (polylactic acid) as the base material. PLA is a biodegradable plastic that can be broken down by microorganisms into carbon dioxide and water under certain conditions, giving the product excellent environmental performance and recyclability.

The development of biodegradable plastic mesh fabric and the resulting patent marks a substantial step by Shaoxing Hengwen Mesh Fabric into the field of green materials. Against the backdrop of accelerating green transformation in the global textile industry, this technological innovation not only meets the growing market demand for sustainable materials but also lays a solid technical foundation for the company to explore eco-friendly plastic mesh applications – such as agricultural covers, protective packaging, and outdoor fencing – as part of a green upgrade.

Leveraging the Keqiao Textile Cluster to Move in Step with the Industry

The growth of Shaoxing Hengwen Mesh Fabric is inseparable from Keqiao, the “International Textile City,” which provides a rich industrial ecosystem. Keqiao is home to more than 8,000 textile enterprises, forming one of the world’s most complete textile industry chains – from fiber and fabric to finished garments. Its trade network covers more than 200 countries and regions, and it accounts for a significant share of China’s dyeing and finishing industry.

In 2024, textile enterprises above a designated size in Shaoxing achieved an average R&D investment intensity of 4.0%. Exports of textile yarns, fabrics, and related products reached RMB 140.2 billion, up 8.4% year‑on‑year. In the first ten months of 2025, the average R&D intensity of such enterprises increased further to 4.4%, and new product output value reached RMB 86.74 billion, a year‑on‑year increase of 8%, reflecting increasingly effective commercialisation of innovation achievements. In December 2025, Shaoxing was successfully selected as one of the “Most Influential Industrial Hub Cities in China” (2025 edition) under the distinct identity of “China’s Modern Textile Industry Landmark,” ranking 24th among 30 cities nationwide. This recognition affirms the comprehensive influence and development quality of Shaoxing’s modern textile industry.

At key industry events such as the 8th World Textile Merchandising Conference and the 2025 Zhejiang Provincial Textile Industry Chain High-Quality Development Seminar, green collaboration, digital empowerment, and technological innovation were central themes. Zhejiang Province also launched “TextileGPT,” a specialised large model for the textile field. These macro‑trends indicate that the textile industry is accelerating its transition from “cost‑driven” to “value‑led.” Shaoxing Hengwen Mesh Fabric’s newly granted “biodegradable plastic mesh fabric” patent is a positive response to this trend – replacing conventional plastics with eco-friendly materials, enhancing product value through technological innovation, and pursuing the development philosophy of “green, smart, and innovative” within a niche segment.

Looking Ahead

Standing at a pivotal moment in the high‑quality development of Keqiao’s textile industry, Shaoxing Hengwen Mesh Fabric Co., Ltd. will continue to focus on its core business of plastic mesh fabrics. Powered by technological innovation and guided by green and environmentally friendly principles, the company will steadily increase its R&D investment, deepen its expertise in plastic extruded mesh and woven mesh, and gradually evolve into a “niche specialist” and “hidden champion” in the segment. In the future, the company will also actively contribute to Shaoxing’s modern textile industry transformation towards high‑end, intelligent, and green development, adding the innovative strength of private small and medium‑sized enterprises to the illustrious “International Textile City” brand.
