In 1991, Yitang Town had its first board mill, and then sporadic small spinning mills appeared. By 1996, the board factories, spinning mills and rubber factories in Yitang Town had grown to nearly 600, forming a board production base with a certain scale and influence.

Industrial Clusters

Yitang Town's wood industry is mainly panel processing, producing more than 200 varieties of 9 major series such as plywood, veneer, technical wood, etc. It has plywood, MDF, veneer and building templates as the mainstay. The complete product series of other categories has formed a relatively complete industrial cluster that integrates leather, pressure plate, rubber making, equipment manufacturing, chemical industry, and logistics. The products are sold to Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Taiwan and other parts of the country, and exported to South Korea, South America and other countries. Private enterprises started earlier and formed six major industrial clusters mainly in sheet metal, supplemented by chemicals, machinery, building materials, food, and plastic. There are more than 4,000 private enterprises in the town.

In 2010, there were 221 large-scale enterprises with a profit and tax of 2.66 billion yuan. It is a well-known "hometown of sheet metal" in China. It processes 12 million cubic meters of various types of wood annually, produces 1 billion wood-based panels, generates an output value of 20 billion yuan, produces more than 100 varieties of 7 major series, and earns 120 million US dollars in exports annually. The sheet metal industry centered on Yitang has driven the surrounding 8,000 companies in Tanyi, Zaogoutou, Fangcheng, Machang Lake, and counties in Feixian, Yishui, Hedong, and Luozhuang, becoming the four largest sheet metal processing bases in China. one.

Behind the industry

Due to the development of the sheet metal industry, Linyi has become the country's largest base for production, trading and export of sheet metal, ranking first among the four largest bases for the production of wood-based panels. More than 40% of the total, ranking first in the country, occupying a pivotal position in the country and the world, has the title of "China's plate capital".

Behind these honors and output value contributions, there is a group that may have been neglected-sheet workers. In the streets and streets of Yitang, you may often see logistics workers transporting planks, or loading and unloading workers with forklifts, and board workers with wood dust on their bodies. This is our Yitang people. !! It is many, many of them that have propped up Yitang's sheet metal industry and screamed the loud slogan of "World sheet metal sees China, China sheet metal looks at Linyi". Therefore, all the honors of Linyi sheet industry have their contribution, and they are the cutest people behind this industry.
