Looking back on 2020, the transformation and upgrading of Gaoan's construction and ceramics industry has opened a new chapter. The boom in production and sales during the epidemic, the expansion of large enterprises, the construction of intelligent large/slate production lines, and the smooth trial production of Gaoan's "centralized gas supply"... have all made the Gaoan production area end in the "13th Five-Year Plan" The year drew a perfect symbol and started a new journey of green and intelligent production.
As of November 2020, Gaoan Ceramics Industry has achieved main business income of 23.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.4%; profits and taxes have been 1.85 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.7%; fixed asset investment has reached 2.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.6%; Enterprise electricity consumption reached 2.3 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 15.5%.
Production and sales are booming after the epidemic
Product prices increase, inventory is in short supply, monthly sales are 200 million...
After the epidemic in 2020, Gao'an production areas not only took the lead in resuming work and production in production areas across the country, but companies in Gao'an production areas also reaped a wave of "market dividends" after the epidemic. From the end of February to May, the production and sales situation of most companies in Gao'an production areas was good. Product price increases, inventory shortages, and monthly sales of 200 million... have all become key words for the production and sales of Gao'an production areas in the first half of the year.
According to "Ceramic Information", after high-security companies opened warehouses and resumed work one after another on February 20, the daily shipment volume of ceramic companies was also growing. The country introduced a national highway toll-free policy to further stimulate the resumption of work by ceramic companies. subsequent sales growth.
Many business owners and sales leaders in the Gao'an production area said: "Single-day sales have reached the sales performance of the company's full production capacity, and some product categories are even out of stock."
Luo Qun, chairman of Roosevelt Ceramics Company, also said: "Hundreds of cars were loaded on the first day of resumption of work."
In March and April, the prices of Siwa products in the Gao'an production area continued to rise several times, and manufacturers' inventories were still very tight. In early March, hundreds of vehicles were parked on both sides of the main road outside the entrance of Yifeng Guanli Ceramics Factory, waiting to be loaded. "The company's inventory was low at the end of 2019. This sudden epidemic delayed the resumption of production lines, and customers' resumption of work and enterprises' resumption of production were synchronized, resulting in product supply exceeding demand, and products were basically shipped off the line." Jia Yu, general manager of Jiayu Ceramics express.
13 new large-scale subway lines have been added, and another 9 are under construction
From full-body marble to medium slab and large slab series products, there are noThe trend of limited-joint pattern design quickly swept through production areas after the epidemic. With the rising popularity of unlimited strips and rock slabs in the Foshan production area, large slabs have become a new category for a considerable number of companies in Gao'an.
In March 2020, the intelligent large-tile production line renovated and built by Qinyuanchun Ceramics at the end of 2019 was successfully put into operation, mainly producing large-size ceramic tiles of 600×1200mm and 800×1600mm.
At the end of April, the newly built intelligent large-tile production line of Sun Ceramics Company was also completed and put into operation, mainly producing large-sized ceramic tiles of 600×1200mm and 750×1500mm...
According to incomplete statistics from "Ceramic Information", there are currently 11 large slab and rock slab production lines in the entire Jiangxi production area, including three rock slab production lines with specifications of 1200×2400mm and above in Xinzhongyuan and Weimei (this data is exclusively for Kiln production of large-sized ceramic tile production line). Companies such as Fengcheng Weimei and Jiangxi Sun Ceramics are building intelligent large-panel production lines.
"In March, the sales volume of 750×1500mm large panels alone exceeded 10 million yuan." Luo Qun, chairman of Roosevelt Enterprises, said frankly.
Under the influence of the increasingly transparent prices of traditional ceramic tiles, the Foshan slate boom, and the vigorous layout of leading companies in the production area in the field of large-scale slab products, in the second half of 2020, a considerable number of companies in Gao'an production areas began to deploy large-scale slabs. Renovate, expand and add large board production lines.
According to statistics, in 2020, more than 20 companies in the Pan-Gaoan production area launched a series of 600×1200mm large plate products, 14 new large plate production lines were added, and another 8 large plate production lines are under construction. Roosevelt, Asus, Geshiqi and Gulali signed contracts to invest in new bases in 2020, all focusing on expanding large-board production lines. Sun Ceramics Group has completed and put into operation two large plate production lines in 2020, and another large plate production line is under construction. Ruiyang Ceramics and Sun Ceramics have planned thousands of acres of land and invested 2.3 billion yuan and 2 billion yuan respectively to build intelligent production bases for large slabs and rock slabs.
Large slabs and rock slabs will become the new trend in the future development of the industry, and ceramic tiles with larger sizes are no longer "exclusive" for leading companies. At present, in the production area, in addition to Roosevelt, Sun, Ruiyang, Asus, Jim Carey, Geshiqi and Jintaiyuan Ceramics, companies such as 750×1500mm, 800×1600mm and 900×1800mm have launched large-format products with larger specifications; Jinliyuan Ceramics Local companies such as , Jingcheng Ceramics and Baoqing Ceramics are also preparing to build large plate production lines with larger specifications such as 750×1500mm.
It is worth noting that the large plate lines planned and constructed by Gaoan Ceramics Enterprises in 2020 are mainly large-capacity. The newly put into production of 600×1200mm large plate lines such as Sun Ceramics and Asus Ceramics have a daily production capacity of 35,000 square meters. Roosevelt The 750×1500mm large plate line planned and constructed in the new ceramic base has a designed daily production capacity of 35,000 square meters and is scheduled to be put into production after this year. Ruiyang Ceramics' 750×1500mm and 900×1800mm large plate lines are also under construction.
8 ceramic companies invested tens of billions to build intelligent bases
According to "Ceramic Information", after the epidemic in 2020, under the situation that various production areas across the country delayed the start of work and enterprises reduced production and suspended production, the Gao'an production area took the lead among all production areas in the country to resume work and production. Not only that, a group of outstanding companies in Gao'an production areas have bucked the trend and expanded their land to build green and intelligent production bases.
In 2020, 8 ceramic companies in the Gaoan production area, including Greili Ceramics, Geshiqi Ceramics, Roosevelt Ceramics, Ruiyang Ceramics, Asus Ceramics, Sun Ceramics, Putin, and New Pearl, invested in the expansion of new intelligent production The base, with a total investment of 10 billion yuan, plans to build 40 intelligent production lines, with products covering slate, large slabs, medium slabs, full-body marble and other series of products.
The rock slab trend is on the rise, and “head” companies are deploying rock slabs
2020 is called the first year of rock slabs. Whether it is the speed at which companies build rock slab lines or the publicity at major domestic exhibitions, rock slabs are the most shining "new stars." In the second half of 2020, some leading companies in Jiangxi production areas also began to launch rock slab products, setting off a new craze for rock slabs in Jiangxi production areas.
At the end of October, the 600×1200mm 9mm-thick small rock slabs launched by Qinyuanchun Ceramics Company hit the market in the production area, once again stimulating the current market structure of low-price competition for 600×1200mm large slabs in the production areas.
On November 3, Roosevelt Ceramics held a new product launch conference for large-size slate slabs through an online live broadcast, announcing that Roosevelt's product line has officially extended from large slabs to slate slabs.
On December 27, the Gao'an production area welcomed the first local slate product. Sun Enterprise Group's first slate line was launched. As a benchmark for the central production area, Sun Enterprise became the driving force behind the new trend of slate in the Gao'an production area. Navigator. The specifications of the new slate products released by Sun Enterprise Group are 855×1400mm and the thickness is 11mm. Later, the company will also add 800×2000mm, 900×1800mm and other specifications of rock slabs.
It is also understood that the imported slate production line planned by Golden Triangle Ceramics Investment has started construction and is expected to be put into production in March and April 2021. Prior to this, only Xinzhongyuan Ceramics was producing a series of slate products in the production area. In the second half of 2020, Bonuoyan Enterprise located in Shanggao County has successfully put into production 3mm thick rock slabs; and Putin Ceramics has completed and put into production an 800×2600mm slate production line.
In addition to the layout of slate lines by leading companies, a number of slate processing companies have also emerged in the Gao'an production area. For example, Paigao Home Furnishing is currently a professional slate processing company in the production area.
The 36 ceramic companies in the base are fully supplied with gas
On the morning of December 1, 2020, the Gao'an Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Gao'an Municipal People's Government held a promotion meeting for the optimization and upgrading of the city's construction and ceramics industry to comprehensively deploy, implement and promote the trial operation and trial production of the "centralized gas supply" project, and promote Implement clean production in the ceramics industry in Gao'an City.
On the morning of December 13, 2020, the world's largest fully automatic coal-to-gas production "Gao'an Jimin Credible Clean Energy Project" successfully started trial production and gas supply, marking the official adoption of "centralized gas supply" by Gao'an Ceramics Base Enterprises. Enter cleaner production.
As of December 28, with the last four companies in the third batch of the ceramic building base all successfully put into trial operation, some of the production lines of the 36 ceramic companies in the base have adopted centralized gas supply, marking that the gas reform of the Gaoan ceramic base has been fully transformed. Entering the trial operation period.
The successful trial operation of the centralized gas supply project in Gao'an production areas marks the historic success of the centralized gas supply project in Gao'an production areas and opens a new chapter in clean production in Gao'an production areas.
It is understood that from April 1st to 30th, 2021, it is the stable operation stage of centralized gas supply. With the end of the one-month stable operation stage, the ceramic production enterprises of Gaoan Building Ceramics Industry Base will fully adopt the "centralized gas supply" Gas supply" to achieve clean production.
With the comprehensive gas conversion of 36 ceramic companies in Gao'an Ceramics Industry Base, there are 13 ceramic production companies outside Gaoan Ceramics Industry Base. They will all use clean gas before the Dragon Boat Festival in 2021.
The rise of local equipment companies
“In the next 3-5 years, there will be a spring for the development of ceramic equipment companies, but more of them will be equipment companies with innovation and R&D technology.Equipment companies, in fact, ceramic equipment companies have gone through more than ten years of reshuffle and precipitation, and the concentration of ceramic equipment brands is relatively high. "The production general manager of a company in Gao'an production area believes.
He Jun, chairman of Yiben Machinery, said: "In 2020, his company's sales orders exceeded 100 million yuan, which doubled compared with the same period in 2019. At present, the company has planned 60 acres of land to build large slabs and rock slabs. Intelligent equipment for production lines.
With the improvement of corporate environmental awareness and continuous investment in environmental protection equipment, a number of environmental protection equipment companies have also flocked to Gao'an. Some of these environmental protection equipment companies have disappeared or have withdrawn from production areas, but Zhongtian Environmental Protection is in production. The district has persisted for 7 years and has become one of the environmental protection equipment companies with the largest market share in the Gao'an production area.
The comprehensive upgrade of the ceramic tile consumer market such as large slabs and rock slabs has put forward new transformation directions for the upgrading of enterprise production lines and equipment technology. A large number of production lines need to be demolished and built new, a large amount of backward production capacity needs to be upgraded, and a large amount of old equipment needs to be updated. It is understood that in 2020, nearly 40 production lines in Jiangxi production areas have been renovated or newly built and put into operation. Therefore, driven by the expansion of many first-tier enterprises in Guangdong, some powerful local enterprises in Gao'an production areas have also started a new round of industrial layout.
