Modern magic

Puyuan has now established a comprehensive system that encompasses everything from the supply of raw wool yarn, knitting machinery and technological development to logistics, foreign trade services, human resources and supporting facilities.

Additionally, there have been multiple improvements in production equipment. Xia Liangen, 53, has been leading the clothing company Snaier for 28 years. Its workshops have upgraded from using manual flat-knitting machines to computerized ones and then to intelligent machines.

In early 2020, Xia digitally transformed the factory workshop. All primary intelligent computer flat-knitting machines were connected online.

Workers could simply scan QR codes via a mobile app to automate counting and wage settlement and upload production progress.

His son, Xia Chengjun, a London College of Fashion graduate, has established a new media marketing department at their company.
