Hai'an Nylon Sourcing Cluster in Nantong, Jiangsu

How big is the Hai'an Nylon cluster?

One of China's three major nylon bases, alongside Changle (Fujian) and Xiaoshan (Zhejiang). Named a national fashion nylon demonstration base, a national differentiated nylon demonstration base and a national nylon new-materials industry base. The cluster has 200+ nylon new-material companies, making 800,000 tonnes of nylon-6 chips and 200,000 tonnes of nylon-66 chips a year; nylon yarn is about an eighth of China's output. The fashion nylon park hosts 30+ key companies with 2022 sales of RMB 50 billion (Nantong government English site). An older 2016 figure (171 above-designated-size textile companies, RMB 36.939 billion in taxable sales) covers a different scope. Note: Hai'an's cocoon-silk industry ('China Cocoon Silk Town', over RMB 10 billion a year) is a separate cluster from nylon.

How to buy here

Start at the core market above, compare at least three stalls or factories for the same item, and ask for the export price (FOB) in writing before you discuss payment terms. On 1688, the Chinese wholesale platform most of these factories list on, search with these Chinese terms:

锦纶 · 南通锦纶 · 时尚锦纶产业园 · 海安锦纶

We do not list factory names or phone numbers on this page: factories change sales staff often, and a stale contact is worse than none. If you want three verified factories with real contacts and quotes, see the factory list package ($299).
