Linyi, Shandong, has established itself as China's leading labor protection industry hub, boasting a comprehensive production and trade system. The city's annual domestic sales exceed 40 billion yuan ($5.9 billion), capturing 35 percent of the national market, while annual exports are valued at $2 billion, reaching over 120 countries and regions including the United States, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
Zhongcun town in Pingyi county produces 6 billion pairs of safety gloves annually, accounting for over 60 percent of the national market. Spanning districts like Lanshan and Hedong, the sector engages nearly 100 large-scale enterprises, over 3,000 small and medium-sized firms, 1,500 trading merchants, and 200,000 workers, creating a complete supply chain spanning manufacturing, commerce, and logistics.
Capitalizing on this large scale, Linyi is actively promoting digital and smart transformation. Shandong Xinminghui has developed an advanced Nebula System and a vertical supply chain platform, connecting over 3,000 global suppliers and millions of protective products through 180,000 square meters of smart warehousing.
Across the city, manufacturers are adopting intelligent weaving and automated quality control systems, while merchants are embracing live-stream e-commerce and cloud warehousing. These upgrades are shifting the industry away from low-price competition toward standardized safety solutions.
Over a decade of meticulous refinement, Xinminghui's homegrown Nebula System has expanded from a couple of modules to 38 robust subsystems. [Photo/Haibao News]
