The development history of Xuechi is a history of entrepreneurship. Its predecessor was the Handan County Garment Factory. It was established in 1980 mainly to provide employment for family members and children of the Economic Commission. In the early days of the factory, the employees brought their own household pedal sewing machines. The factory building was a simple shed built with stone slabs on the roof of the Economic Commission Office Building. It had only fixed assets of 36,000 yuan, 18 employees, a loss of 9,000 yuan, and an annual output value of less than 100,000 yuan. It is a "five nothings" factory with no factory building, no equipment, no technology, no capital, and no efficiency. Its products are trousers, vests and other products that cost 3 yuan a piece. Due to inherent deficiencies and no foundation, the factory was forced to cease production less than a year after its establishment, and its personnel were temporarily integrated into the Handan County Fur Factory. In 1984, the county economic committee decided to resume production in the garment factory. In May 1985, two college students were exchanged for Comrade Wang Zixiu, who had been transferred to the County People's Congress Office, as the factory director. From then on, Wang Zixiu and Xuechi formed an inseparable relationship, and the company embarked on a road of rapid development.

After taking office, Wang Zixiu decisively proposed after extensive market research: If you want to break out of the old low-profit circle, you must break the conventional thinking pattern and pay close attention to product development. Later, a women's short-sleeved shirt made of voile fabric not only allowed the company to repay debts and repay wages, but also made a profit of 32,000 yuan that year, exceeding the production tasks assigned by superiors. From trousers and vests to "Bari yarn" shirts, this is the first time Xuech has taken off in its development history.

By 1987, Wang Zixiu formally proposed the eighteen-character business policy of "promoting products, focusing on quality, creating famous brands, occupying the market, high efficiency, and rapid development". At the same time, he formulated the "production generation, research and development" The product development strategy of "generation, reserve generation, conception generation" has been adopted, and down products have been developed. It is precisely because of this flagship product that the clothing factory received the attention of the county leaders, and the land at the north end of the county guest house was allocated to the clothing factory for formal construction of the factory. After its completion in 1987, it was renamed "Handan Down Products Factory" and the "Xuechi" trademark was officially registered in 1988. A down jacket not only saved the company, but also enabled Xuechi to develop rapidly. Since then, we have successively developed cold-proof clothing, denim clothing, children's clothing, casual clothing, bedding, magnetic far-infrared multi-functional down health care products, etc. Since 1993, at least one provincial new product has been launched every year, and hundreds of new models have been put on the market. The advent of every new product, as Ms. Yao Xiaoman, executive vice chairman and secretary-general of the China Down Industry Association, said: It not only embodies the ingenuity of Xuechi people, but also embodies the corporate culture of "sincerity and authenticity". Xuechi people's caring for consumers and contribution to society with considerate and humanized products have given Xuechi wings to take off.

In December 1996, with the approval of the Handan Municipal Government, the Handan Down Products Factory was reorganized into Xuech Group. After the establishment of Xuechi Group, the focus of work changed from expanding scale to brand management and marketing. It also adopted many measures such as internal management, external market expansion, increased investment in science and technology, dedication to product innovation, implementation of famous brand strategy, and brand management. , Xuechi embarks on the path of relying on brand for development and marketing to drive development.

After nearly two decades of rolling development, Xuechi Group has become the executive director of China Garment Association, China Garment Association Down Clothing and Products Professional Committee, China Down Industry Association, China Home Textiles Industry Association, China Antibacterial The vice-chairman unit of the Materials and Products Industry Association and one of the largest clothing groups in the country. In 2002, the "Xuechi" trademark was recognized as a well-known trademark in China by the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, filling the gap of no well-known trademark in the clothing industry of Handan City and even Hebei Province. The company now has 6 sales companies or offices abroad, and more than 800 specialty stores and hundreds of wholesalers in China. The leading products include down jackets, home textiles, casual wear, magnetic far-infrared multifunctional health products, and antibacterial series products, which are exported to 35 countries and regions in Europe, America and Asia, and more than 20 domestic provinces and cities. Among them, the health series products have obtained more than 20 national patents. In 2003, it achieved sales revenue of more than 800 million yuan and profits and taxes of 62 million yuan. It has been among the top 200 in the national clothing industry and the top two down products companies for many years. It was the first in the industry to pass ISO9001 and ISO14001 quality and environmental management system certification and China Green Environment Mark product certification. In 2003, it was the first company to pass the China Antibacterial Mark product certification. All these have created good internal and external conditions for Xuechi to accelerate its development.
