Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, is located in the hinterland of northeast China. It is a well-known “famous city in China's hosiery industry” and the largest cotton socks production base in the country. It is known as the “Cotton socks Capital of China”. Since the first pair of socks were produced in 1936, Liaoyuan has become the center of the regional textile industry represented by the textile and hosiery industry, and was once known as the “Little Shanghai of Northeast China.” Today, Liaoyuan has grown into the largest cotton socks production base in the country, shaping the market pattern of the domestic cotton socks industry “Zhuji in the south and Liaoyuan in the north”. After the frost fell, the minimum temperature in Liaoyuan City has dropped to -8℃. In the production workshop of Jilin Northeast Hosiery Industrial Park Hosiery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Northeast Hosiery Industrial Park”), workers wearing light blue half-sleeved tooling are hot stamping, marking, packaging, etc.The positions are put into production in a tight and orderly manner.

Through policy support and brand cultivation, the local area has created a regional brand of "China Cotton socks* made in Liaoyuan·, and has driven 45,000 jobs.

  In the territory of China's textile industry, it is known as “Zhuji in the south and Liaoyuan in the north”. Located in Liaoyuan City in south-central Jilin Province, this former “northeast coal city” has been successfully transformed into the famous “hometown of Chinese cotton socks”. Today, with an annual output of 3.5 billion pairs of cotton socks, a huge production capacity, an increasingly advanced level of intelligent production and a complete industrial cluster, it is consolidating its leading position as the core production area of cotton socks in the north.   Walking into Liaoyuan Hosiery Textile Industrial Park, what catches your eye is no longer the labor-intensive production scene in the traditional impression, but rows of intelligent CNC hosiery machines running at high speed. The workers are no longer simple "blockers”, but have become equipment maintainers and process monitors. From automatic spinning and intelligent weaving to sewing, shaping, and packaging, the entire production line is efficient and orderly. This is the vivid epitome of Liaoyuan Socks industry's move towards “intelligent manufacturing”.   “A state-of-the-art smart sock machine can produce thousands of pairs of socks a day. The efficiency is several times that of traditional equipment. Moreover, through big data analysis, it can more accurately grasp market trends and realize flexible production. ”The person in charge of a leading local socks company introduced. In recent years, Liaoyuan City has vigorously promoted industrial upgrading and guided enterprises to introduce advanced equipment and information management systems, which has significantly improved the degree of automation and intelligence of socks production, not only achieving a leap in production capacity, but also having a strong market competitiveness in product quality and design innovation.   Behind the strong manufacturing capabilities is the complete industrial ecology formed by Liaoyuan after decades of deep cultivation. It brings together the whole industry chain from raw material supply, R&D and design, manufacturing to marketing, logistics and distribution. The cotton socks produced by Liaoyuan not only cover the domestic mass-produced markets, but also are exported to more than 40 countries and regions around the world such as the United States, Japan, and Europe. The slogan “One pair of Liaoyuan socks, walk the world” resounded at home and abroad.   The annual production capacity of 3.5 billion pairs means that for every 10 people in the country, more than 20 pairs of socks are produced in Liaoyuan. This amazing figure not only established Liaoyuan's “Shuangxiong” status in the national hosiery industry pattern, which goes hand in hand with Zhuji, Zhejiang, but also made it a model industry for promoting the transformation and upgrading of the old industrial base in Northeast China and achieving high-quality development. The local government said that in the future, it will continue to focus on the golden signboard of “The hometown of Cotton socks in China” to further strengthen the leadership of scientific and technological innovation, support enterprises to cultivate independent brands, and promote the deep integration of the socks industry with culture, fashion, e-commerce and other industries. The goal is to build Liaoyuan into an internationally influential socks industry cluster.center. From a resource-depleted city to the vibrant "socks capital of the North", Liaoyuan has woven a huge industrial chain with small yarns, and it has also woven a splendid future for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. These pairs of “Liaoyuan socks” that walk the world are taking increasingly steady and intelligent steps towards a broader world stage.Our products include men's socks, women's socks, children's socks, and provide OEM and ODM services.   

    Socks Industry! Digital wisdom “breaks the cocoon”, and the new quality “becomes the trend”!   The digital workshop is accurate and efficient, the smart socks machine operates in one piece, and the production data on the electronic screen beats in real time... In the middle of summer, the various socks companies in Datang Street, the international socks capital, are hot. Datang, a fertile land where socks production accounts for one-third of the world and 70% of the country, is leading a new round of scientific and technological revolution in the global socks industry with a profound industrial revolution, striving to move forward on the track of high-quality development.   The direct change brought about by the transformation of digital intelligence to the production of the socks industry is the integration of processes and the improvement of quality. In the previous production line, socks needed to be continuously “transferred” in different workshops such as weaving, sewing, and turning socks. It was labor-intensive, time-consuming and laborious. After the transformation, the inspection of the weaving seams was in place in one step; in the past, to complete an order, the preparation of raw materials and the progress of the order required manual statistics, and the order could not be completed if the order was done less, and the order was more.As a result of losses and losses, workers have now changed from “working based on experience” to “producing according to data”, and their production efficiency has been significantly improved. In the past, the processes were complicated and there were many stations, but now the data and quality standards of each station and each process are completely unified, greatly improving product quality. The “Way of innovation” of the economy under one's feet With a change of thinking, the benefits doubled. Nowadays, in the Datang socks industry, which has laid a solid foundation for digital intelligence, more and more companies have abandoned the internal thinking of “low prices for the market”, “the eight immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers”, and use innovation and quality in different ways to achieve breakthroughs.   Related Products：wool socks,Medium socks,Women's socks,girl's tube socks atc.   “Promote the "intelligent transformation to digital to networking’ and build a number of major demonstration projects to enhance digital intelligence, fashion, and internationalization with equipment upgrading, technological innovation, and digital empowerment, and further enhance the global competitiveness of Datang socks. ”   

Liaoyuan socks     Liaoyuan socks is a regional brand formed by Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, relying on a century-old history of the socks industry. In April 2025, it was selected as one of the first batch of famous Chinese consumer products by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. With the Northeast Socks Textile Industrial Park as the core, the industry has the world's most complete cotton socks industry chain, with an annual output of 3.5 billion pairs of socks and an annual output value of 12 billion yuan in full caliber. Its products cover more than 100 categories such as sports socks and business socks. It is known for its moisture absorption, breathability, softness and comfort.

The Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology has advanced its services and accelerated the progress of key projects in the socks industry. In order to better promote the cluster effect of the socks industry, the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology has established a weekly scheduling system to follow up on the progress of the project in a timely manner and accurately assist enterprises in bail-out. As a key industrial project of Liaoyuan Socks industry, Liaoyuan New Territory Modern Textile Industrial Park has a total investment of 690 million yuan, covering an area of 123,000 square meters and a construction area of 217,000 square meters. The park plans to build 8 standardized factories and 6 supporting office buildings to form a fully functional modern industrial cluster. As of April 2025, the main body of buildings 1-5 in the new territory will be closed, the main body of buildings 11 and 14 will be closed, and the ground beams of buildings 7, 8, and 9 will be completed; the foundation of Building 13 will be completed.

The development history of Jilin Liaoyuan cotton socks Industry Constantly innovating and maintaining a keen sense of market smell, Liaoyuan, Jilin has built the country's largest cotton socks production base.When it comes to the hosiery industry, it is generally believed in the industry that “Zhuji is in the south and Liaoyuan is in the north.” From foundry to innovation base It is due to its continuous investment in brand support, industry-wide services, and scientific research and innovation. Here, socks are not only a kind of daily wear, but also given artistic and cultural connotations. For example, in the wedding candy box dedicated to wedding receptions, there are often two pairs of socks cleverly folded into the shape of roses, one pair of men's socks with one pair of women's socks, which are both novel, chic and meaningful. This innovative marketing strategy has made socks a wedding gift that can be preserved forever and is more commemorative. Innovative marketing strategy and cultural connotation Liaoyuan cotton socks are not only used as daily necessities, but also given cultural and artistic value. Through innovative strategies, such as wedding rose-shaped socks, they have become commemorative items.  

            In the ”cotton socks Capital", socks are actually produced like this “From yarn to socks, it only takes two or three minutes, and there is no need for labor. ”In a hosiery company in Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, engineer Guo Zhandong took reporters into the production workshop, and dozens of intelligent all-in-one hosiery knitting machines produced stacks of socks between the “flying yarn and the thread”. Liaoyuan, a small city located in the northeast of our country, was once known as the “little Shanghai of Northeast China” because of the development of textile, pharmaceutical, mechanical and electrical industries. The first pair of socks were produced here in 1936, and now it has grown into the largest cotton socks production base in the country. It has the reputation of “the hometown of Chinese cotton socks”, “The famous city of Chinese socks”, and “The capital of Chinese cotton socks”. It is the domestic cotton socks industry. “Zhuji is in the south and Beijing is in the north."There are important components of the ”Liaoyuan" market pattern. Every year, 3.5 billion pairs of cotton socks are produced here and sold throughout the country and all over the world. There is a high probability that the cotton socks we wear on our feet come from this “cotton socks capital”. Guozhandong is an “old man” in the Liaoyuan hosiery industry. He has been making socks since the 1990s. “The traditional hosiery weaving process requires weaving, sewing, shaping, packaging and other processes. For example, the "sewing head" requires manually transporting the socks to the sewing workshop, or manually or with the help of a sewing machine to sew the socks from the socks, and then manually flip the socks back. It takes a long time and the error rate is higher than it is now. ” In Guozhandong's explanation, the reporter saw that under the “blessing” of the intelligent integrated hosiery knitting machine, the weaving and stitching processes are combined. The semi-finished socks that have been woven are transported by the robotic arm to the sewing part of the machine, and the surface can be automatically turned over after rapid stitching. This process is alsoTherefore, it was shortened to 1 minute and 30 seconds. And when this sock is sewn, the next sock has already entered the weaving process. Take a closer look, each machine also has a display screen, and the operating status and production efficiency of the machine can be clearly displayed. "Intelligent production has greatly saved time and labor costs. A hosiery machine can produce about 250 pairs of medium-tube socks per day, and a worker can manage almost 14 machines! "Guozhandong smiled. After the socks are woven, they can be shaped and marked by machines, coupled with manual quality inspection and packaging, and a pair of high-quality, beautiful and comfortable socks are ready to go! In Liaoyuan, the ownership of intelligent all-in-one machines for the socks industry like this has reached more than 6,000 units! In recent years, Liaoyuan City has continuously promoted the implementation of the digital intelligent transformation project of 10,000 hosiery machines, built a number of new intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories, promoted the application scenarios of “5G+industrial Internet”, and introduced policies to support the digital intelligent transformation of hosiery enterprises and enhance the production capacity and modernization level of the hosiery industry chain. At present, 12 hosiery companies in the city have been selected as the library of intelligent transformation and digital transformation projects in Jilin Province's manufacturing industry, and 26 hosiery factories have integrated wisdom elements, directly and indirectly driving employment of 45,000 people.    

The driving force of the R&D center However, the hosiery industry park in the past has also faced difficulties. After the collapse of traditional hosiery factories and cotton mills, the nascent hosiery park once played the role of a “foundry”. Most companies rely on traditional distributors for wholesale sales, and small changes in market supply and demand may lead to the survival of the company. In order to innovate and seek change, the Socks Industrial Park has established a professional R&D center to provide enterprises with cutting-edge design information and innovative products, and promote enterprises to move towards differentiated and functional development. Today, the R&D center has become the innovation engine of the park. There are many kinds of socks with new materials here, such as copper fiber socks, which can eliminate a variety of bacteria and fungi, and gray nanomaterial socks, which are soft and wrinkle-resistant, moisture-absorbent and breathable. In addition, in the context of Liaoyuan being identified as one of the first resource-based cities in the country with an economic transformation city, the socks industry is one of the newly cultivated successor industries. Technology application and international experience The breathable sports socks have a porous design, which is more effective in breathable and heat dissipation, and are comfortable to wear. In addition, the center is constantly trying to innovate, traveling to the United States, Japan and other countries to learn advanced experience, and maintaining a keen insight into market trends. At the same time, the park is also committed to building a “7-day supply chain” to achieve “lightning” docking to the market.Children's socksWomen's socks,men's socks By splitting the socks industry chain, the park enables companies to focus on their own business, and at the same time sets up professional departments to be responsible for sales, logistics and other links. As enterprises continue to join, the complementarity between the various parts is increasing day by day, and the socks industry cluster has gradually formed.  

The development and Transformation of Liaoyuan Socks industry. When it comes to the hosiery industry, the industry generally believes that “Zhuji is in the south and Liaoyuan is in the north.” In fact, the Northeast Socks Textile Industrial Park in Liaoyuan, Jilin has become the largest cotton Socks production base in the country, with up to 7 million pairs of cotton socks exported from here to all parts of the world every day. With the increasing brand reputation of ”Chinese socks, made in Liaoyuan", this coal city in the hinterland of northeast China is gradually realizing a gorgeous turn from the coal industry to the socks industry. Liaoyuan has transformed from a coal industry to the country's largest cotton socks production base, enjoyed a number of policy support, and established its position in the textile industry in the honor. Liaoyuan City has made full use of a number of support policies provided by the state and Jilin Province, such as the comprehensive revitalization of the old industrial base in Northeast China and the pilot economic transformation of resource-depleted cities. The park has developed rapidly and achieved remarkable achievements. It has successively won the title of “National Advanced Employment Enterprise” issued by the State Council, the title of “National Demonstration Base for Entrepreneurship Incubation of College Students” awarded by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs, and the “National Public Service Demonstration Platform for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises” and “National Demonstration Base for Small and Micro Enterprises” recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The Ministry of Science and Technology has also recognized it as a “national science and technology enterprise incubator”. These honors made Liaoyuan City stand out in the selection of the China Textile Industry Federation and the Knitting Industry Association, and won the titles of ”Famous Hosiery City in China“ and ”Hometown of Cotton Socks in China“, thus forming a new pattern of development of the hosiery industry with ”Zhuji in the south and Liaoyuan in the north". It can be said that “Liaoyuan is famous all over the world for socks.”

In the territory of China's hosiery industry, the pattern of “South Zhuji, north Liaoyuan” has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Liaoyuan, a small town in the north of Jilin Province, is now refreshing the perception of the outside world with its amazing “power of the socks industry”. More than 10 million pairs of socks flow from here to the national and even global markets, supporting a huge industrial cluster with an annual output value of more than 12 billion yuan. Recently, the reporter accompanied the “Vitality China Research Trip” Jilin Province theme interview group to visit the core engine of the rise of Liaoyuan socks industry. Stepping into the spacious and bright production workshop of the hosiery group, the hum of intelligent hosiery weaving machines running at high speed is in my ears. The fine yarn shuttled and jumped between the precision robotic arms, and a pair of socks were born in a moment. The innovative tentacles of Liaoyuan socks industry have also extended to the booming ice and snow economy. Relying on the advantages of its entire textile industry chain, hosiery Group is deeply integrated into the overall situation of the development of the ice and snow industry in Jilin Province, focusing on high-performance ice and snow equipment. Our goal is not only to grow bigger, but also to be stronger and better. "Jinhua portrays the future of Liaoyuan socks industry. The group is vigorously implementing industrial expansion projects and making every effort to promote the “New Territory Modern Textile Industrial Park” project to be put into operation as soon as possible. At the same time, we will actively carry out precise investment, and strive to attract more high-quality enterprises from the core links of cutting-edge raw material research and development, high-end environmentally friendly printing and dyeing, and advanced hosiery machine manufacturing in the upstream of the industrial chain to settle in Liaoyuan, so as to further replenish the chain, strengthen the chain, and extend the chain, so as to enhance the innovation ability and comprehensive carrying capacity of the entire industrial cluster.   Related Productssockswool socksMedium socksWomen's socksgirl's tube socks

Since 2024, under the correct leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and the municipal Government, and under the leadership of the bureau, policy support has been strengthened, and the socks industry has been progressing steadily and its output value has achieved positive growth. The number of integrated enterprises has doubled, from a total of 9 enterprises listed in our city's regulations in 2023 to 30 in 2024. Organized the 2024 ”Three Products" National Socks Industry Expo, with more than 200 exhibitors and an intended turnover of 1.8 billion yuan. Build its own brand "Kiss Meet", and on February 27th, Kiss Meet Socks factory store Liaoyuan flagship store opened; China Liaoyuan Socks Wholesale City“ settled in Suifenhe City, Heilongjiang Province. At the same time, Chengdu ”Kiss Meet" socks factory store opened, expanding a new field in the southwest market. In the next step, we will accelerate the transformation of branding, digital intelligence, scale and marketization, and promote the innovation and upgrading of the entire industrial chain. With “Hosiery industry Internet Platform + digital intelligent factory + digital infrastructure" as the core, we will focus on promoting the digital intelligent transformation of 10,000 hosiery machines, and focus on building an independent brand of "meet each other", and vigorously support the cooperation between Northern Hosiery Group and Weihai Nanhai National Table Tennis Base to promote the branding and branding of the textile hosiery industry.Intelligent transformation, explore and build an ice and snow equipment industry cluster.

On July 18th, the ”Vitality China Research Bank" interview group went deep into Liaoyuan City to explore the in-depth practice of characteristic industries and urban-rural integration in the workshop where the machines roared. Walking into the intelligent workshop of the socks factory in Liaoyuan Hosiery Park, a digital intelligent hosiery machine is running at high speed, and the silk thread is woven into socks under the precise control of the robotic arm. Hundreds of pairs of cotton socks are offline from the assembly line every minute. In the exhibition hall of the park, there are a wide range of functional socks. Among them, the self-heating ski socks independently developed by the park can heat up by 8-12 degrees Celsius. Relying on such innovative products, the company has created its own brand “meet in person”, working together online and offline. Not only did it set up three direct stores in Liaoyuan, Chengdu and Hunchun, but it also expanded its sales through live broadcasts, with the highest online single-day sales exceeding 4 million yuan. “Last year, brand sales exceeded 200 million yuan, and behind this is the support of the whole chain. "The words of Jin Hua, chairman of Northern Socks Group, pointed out the radiation effect of the industrial chain. This park covering an area of 1 million square meters has attracted more than 1,200 enterprises to settle in, and 45,000 urban and rural laborers are employed here. Among them, more than 400 enterprises founded by more than 4,000 college students have built a complete industrial chain from raw material supply to e-commerce logistics. In order to further strengthen the advantages of the industrial chain, the group has continuously promoted the digital intelligent transformation of 10,000 hosiery machines, promoted the expansion of the modern textile industrial park in the new territory, and attracted upstream and downstream enterprises such as R&D and raw materials to gather, thereby forming a more perfect industrial ecology. In Liaoyuan, the industrial chain is not only an economic chain, but also a people's livelihood link connecting cities and villages. The characteristic industries here are using the whole chain thinking to weave a new picture of “strong industrial base, urban and rural progress, and people's income”, so that the results of high-quality development can truly benefit the people in urban and rural areas.   Related Productssockswool socksMedium socksWomen's socksgirl's tube socks Invisible socks Children's socksChildren's short socksChildren's sports socksChildren's mesh socks
