Modernization Project
In order to gain a competitive edge in the centralization of the silk industry in Chongqing, Qiluo had to modernize. First it was imperative to modernize their silk processing facilities by either upgrading or rebuilding and second, they had to bring together what had typically been a very fragmented industry and co-ordinate the entire silk manufacturing process. This process would include everything from sericulture, to harvesting and processing the cocoons, through the manufacturing and exportation of either finished or raw silk products.

To date, approximately US $1.3M (RMR 11.4M) has been invested to build brand new state-of-the-art manufacturing and housing facilities. The investment into the newest high-end silk processing equipment will elevate both the quality and quantity of the silk produced.

The company built eight buildings (located opposite the silk company) in 2006. All families will move in by the end of 2007. Total 20000 m2 = 215278 ft2, at a total cost of 10 million yuan. As well as awards to the company's employees to make contributions, workers can spend minimal amounts to obtain property rights of their housing. Each floor can house twenty workers, all of the Qiluo company workers (400-500). The bottom floor - currently is prepare lease to business - has 32 rooms. Property rights are owned by Xing Sheng-Xiang.
