Screen mesh was originated in Anping County, Hebei Province.
Ancient Chinese people had created so many screen mesh with their hardworking hands and intelligence on this land, and the industry of screen mesh appeared after years of operation. Screen mesh, as its name implies, is the combination of screen and mesh where screen is mainly made of metal or non-metal materials, whereas mesh is made of silk, and woven into meshes of different shapes, density and specifications according to specific needs. Screen mesh is the generalization of a type of silk fabrics, also known as screen cloth, which is made of chemical fibers, natural silk, and metal silk with certain weaving techniques. Screen cloth is widely applied in industry, agriculture, technology and national defense. It is involved in cutting-edge technology and high-tech industry, as well as our everyday life and cultural life, which is synchronized with national economy and closely related to people’s livelihood. It is mainly used in: Aviation, spaceflight, printing, dyeing, electronics, mining, pharmaceutics, food, food processing and chemical engineering. Four functions of screen mesh: Screening, filtering, printing and fixing. In addition, metal wire mesh is also used as sludge mesh in petroleum industry; as acid pickling mesh in chemical engineering and electroplating industry; as the tool for the filtering of solid particles and powder, the purification of liquid and gas, and screen printing, and framework support in industries of petroleum, chemical engineering, pharmaceutics, automobile, ceramics and glass.
According to historical records, the production of silk already appeared in Anping County in the eighth year of Hongzhi Period of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty; which later became an industry in middle Qing Dynasty, and there were several production plants in Tianjin and Inner Mongolia. The screen mesh industry of Anping County goes back to Sui and Tang Dynasties, which began prospering officially in Ming Dynasty. In fact, the formation and progress of screen mesh industry began in Qing Dynasty. There was an entrepreneur named Xu Laoshan from Anping who was doing screen mesh business in Tianjin. He introduced advanced technologies of Japan to Anping, and that was when the screen silk industry in China evolved from horsetail weaving to the iron wire and steel wire weaving, realizing the industrialization of the industry. In a word, the screen mesh industry emerged in Qing Dynasty, and kept developing rapidly throughout the period of the Republic of China, especially after the Opening Reform Policy. Here’s some data for your information: As of now, there are nearly 2000 taxpaying enterprises with independent development qualification in Anping, among which there are nearly 200 enterprises that are paying more than 500,000 yuan as tax, and more than 10 enterprises are paying more than 5 million yuan as tax, and 3 enterprise are paying more than 10 million yuan as tax. Another set of data, we have over 400 types, 8 categories, 400 models and 6000 specifications of screen meshes. The 8 categories are carbon, steel, rare metals, polyester and plastic. As for those 400 types and 6000 specifications, it means that a variety of industries such as traffic, building, petroleum, chemical engineering, pharmaceutics, aviation & spaceflight are all somehow involved with screen mesh. There is a saying in Anping“There are screener if there are particles, there are meshes if there are holes”. As for the third set of data, there are 400 enterprises in Anping that are engaged in foreign trade. Our products are sold all over the world, not just in China. Especially in Africa and Middle East where the market prospect is very bright. There are nearly 800 branches in China, with more than 10000 Anping screen mesh operators, which means that there are 10000 stores out there, and our staff are nearly seen in every prefecture-level city. The screen mesh production value reached nearly 20 billion. That’s why we said there the screen mesh of Anping doesn’t just have a long history, but it is also rich in culture. We are now on the path of fast development.
