  　  依托温州制鞋业的特色优势，把制鞋基地建到海外，温州民企正大举在境外投资。记者昨向市外经贸局证实，目前，越来越多的温州鞋企走出国门建设工业区，在欧洲、西非、中亚等全球各地建设“温州鞋都”，一个广遍全球的温州民企制鞋网络正在形成。

   　 在乌兹别克斯坦，瓯海南龙制革厂等5家温州鞋企抱团投资3000万美元建设的“中亚鞋都”，以成品鞋的研发和生产为主，瞄准中亚新兴市场。待2012年整个工程投用后，园区将拥有年制鞋400万双的生产能力。在非洲大陆，温州哈杉鞋业有限公司投资5亿元，在尼日利亚拉各斯莱基自由贸易区建设占地400亩的“非洲鞋都”，园区于3至5年内建成后，预计日产鞋达近20万双，将成为非洲最大的制鞋基地。目前，哈杉鞋业在西非已拥有1500多个营业网点，成为西非第一大男鞋品牌。

    　把制鞋基地以工业园区的形式建到俄罗斯，康奈集团是第一家到境外办工业区的温州民企。去年年底，由康奈集团等多家企业牵头组建的俄罗斯乌苏里斯克经贸合作区，获得国家商务部评估确认。作为我国在俄投资的首个经贸合作区，目前，该合作区已吸引了18家中国企业入驻，其中12家为温州民企，主要以鞋企为主。康奈集团董事长郑秀康介绍，初步估算，今后合作区鞋企的年生产能力可望达3000万双皮鞋，成为俄罗斯的一大制鞋基地。

In the usurusk economic and trade cooperation zone, the shoe manufacturers from Wenzhou adopt the cross border chain production mode, that is, to produce semi-finished products at home, export at low tariffs, and then assemble and sell products in the cooperative area.

"Our products can be sold not only in Russia but also in the main markets of the EU," she said.

Zheng Xiukang said that in the usurusk economic and trade cooperation zone, the shoe companies from Wenzhou registered Russian trademarks and entered the international market with the status of "made in Russia".

The Russian usurusk economic and trade cooperation zone, led by Wenzhou private enterprise Kangnai group, is becoming a successful model for domestic enterprises to go out together.

From simple product output to capital export and from "made in China" to "world manufacturing", this cooperation zone has brought a big start to domestic enterprises in developing international market at a higher level.
