Fulida R & D center was established in 1998, formerly known as the Fulida Textile Institute. It is composed of fabric design department, dyeing and finishing design department, technology research department, testing department, information management department and semi-works. After nearly 20 years of continuous promotion and accumulation, it has developed a high-quality professional R & D team of nearly 100 people with strong professional skills and rich practical experience, and has formed the R&D ability covering spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing as well as pilot scale test. In 2006, it was identified as Zhejiang provincial technology center. It is now planning to start the establishment of state-level technology center.

R & D center is the core platform and resource integration platform of Fulida Textile Technology. It has established business partnership with National Textile Products Development Center, prestigious universities and textile research institutes, equipping with all kinds of advanced facilities. Focusing on the "market-driven" new product development strategy, the R & D center makes full use of the Group's "National Development Base for differential products of regenerated cellulose fiber", the advantages of the perfect textile industry chain and the high-quality resources of the industry, to perfect the mechanism of technology research and development, product innovation and achievement transformation and to promote the combination of production, study and research. At the same time, the center attaches importance to the research and development from the core technology of the new-style health fashion environmental textile fiber and functional, composite yarn and so on, so as to develop unique competitive advantage of the products, forming its feature of "high quality, short R & D cycle and good customer response". 

R & D center actively engages in national research projects. For example, in 2016, R & D center took the initiative to participate in the project of "National Key Research and Design Plan in 2017—Basic Material’s Technology Promotion” and Industrialized Key Project" initiated by the Ministry of Science and Technology and took part in the research project of "efficient low-loss large-scale preparative technique of regenerated cellulose fiber" as the head of sub-project of application technology development and demonstration projects of "efficient low-loss regenerated cellulose fiber”. It will develop garments made of regenerated cellulose which is antibacterial, anti-ultraviolet and of other differential functions and textile products, to promote the transformation and upgrade of textile. The new products which are independently developed by the center have awarded "outstanding China’s Fashion fabric", "provincial new product", "excellent new product in Hangzhou " and other titles.
