A Large Number Of Taiwan Shoe Enterprises Enter Henan &Nbsp; Zhoukou Seeks To Create The "Fifth Pole" Of China'S Footwear Industry.

Mastered the production and trade of shoes of over 80% of the world's brands.

Reporters learned from the 27 Zhoukou shoe industry pfer cooperation and Exchange Conference on 2011.

At present, there are 19 Taiwan funded enterprises.

Zhoukou, which also called Zhangjiakou, the two largest leather city in North and South China, once owned many shoe brands, but with the formation of the four major shoe making industrial bases in Guangdong, Dongguan, Fujian, Quanzhou, Zhejiang, Wenzhou, Sichuan, and so on, the footwear industry in Hebei has rapidly developed.

But the wave of industrial pfer started 5 years ago made Zhoukou reinvigorate the opportunity to revive the shoe industry. At that time, with the appreciation of the renminbi, the increase in land costs and the shortage of workers in the shoe industry, a large number of Taiwan funded shoe enterprises began to shift to the mainland.

With the advantages of shoemaking and labor resources, many Taiwanese shoe companies, including Taiwan Baocheng group, the largest group of sports shoes and casual shoes, began to settle in Zhoukou. Baocheng Group invested 160 million yuan, and built up a high-end footwear industry with an annual output of about 1000000 pairs. The Taiwan Chicco group also invested 80 million yuan and launched the production of Jin Hong shoes locally.

Taiwan Baocheng group is a global brand sport shoes and casual shoes.

According to the information provided by the Zhoukou Municipal Bureau of Commerce, the footwear industry projects in 7 counties and cities in Zhoukou have started construction or signing.

Xu Guang, mayor of Zhoukou, said at the meeting that in the first half of 2011, Zhoukou exported 4 million 140 thousand pairs of shoes and exported 42 million 610 thousand US dollars, accounting for 45.8% of Henan's exports and 58.9% of Henan's exports.
