Ceramics are a symbol of Chinese civilization. When people think of ceramics, the first thing that comes to mind is Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital, or major ceramic producing areas such as Shandong and Guangdong. However, in Jungar Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, located on the bank of the Yellow River, exquisite ceramic works of art are also produced.
On a hot summer day, the production workshop of Ordos Guoli Ceramics Co., Ltd. is bustling with activity. On one side, the newly installed fully automatic roll forming equipment is operating at full speed, and various types of bowls, plates, and cups are continuously produced; on the other side, the workers adhere to the traditional hand-made craftsmanship and carefully polish each piece through 88 processes. Production of high-end gift porcelain. Since the beginning of this year, the company has focused on upgrading equipment and researching and developing new products, accelerating the cultivation of new development momentum. "We have intelligently upgraded our production equipment and introduced the most advanced roll forming line in the country. The daily production of daily-use ceramics can reach 12,000 pieces. The production efficiency has been greatly improved and the production cost has been comprehensively reduced." Ordos Guoli Ceramics Co., Ltd. Su Wusong, deputy general manager of the company, said.

Ordos Guoli Ceramics Co., Ltd. is the first ceramic company to settle in Zhungar Economic Development Zone. Over the past ten years since its establishment, the company has continuously overcome difficulties and successfully mastered the technology of producing high-end ceramics on the Inner Mongolia Plateau. Cleverly combining traditional national culture and ceramic art, we have developed more than a hundred ceramic artworks with strong local characteristics. The company has sold its products to many domestic provinces and cities through various channels such as Internet live broadcasts and offline order sales, and has reached cooperation agreements with major ceramic production areas such as Shandong, Guangdong, and Zhejiang. The development situation is excellent.
"We are currently producing orders for daily-use porcelain from Shandong, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places. We have established cooperative relationships with suppliers in these main ceramic production areas and plan to comprehensively promote daily-use porcelain and high-end gift porcelain to the national market. Next Next, we will continue to dig deeper into the local culture of Inner Mongolia and Ordos and create a high-quality ceramic culture brand," Su Wusong said.
Zhungar Banner has abundant coal resources and is accompanied by amazing kaolin resources. Relying on the resource endowment, Zhungar Economic Development Zone has vigorously developed the ceramic industry since 2008 and developed a set of ceramic industry combinations. While introducing traditional ceramic industries such as gift porcelain, daily-use porcelain, and architectural ceramics, we continue to explore the uses of coal-based kaolin, successively introduce a number of inorganic non-metallic new material companies, and cooperate with Shandong Industrial Ceramics Research Institute to establish Inner Mongolia Advanced Ceramics The design institute accelerates the development of advanced non-metallic materials such as standardized raw materials for kaolin for glass fiber and spherical ceramic powder for integrated circuit packaging.Entering into the frontier basic fields of mechanical and non-metallic materials, turning industrial solid waste into “real money”.
"Local coal gangue powder, coal ash and other solid wastes can be used as basic raw materials for some ceramics after further processing. By adjusting the element ratio and raw material properties, some advanced electronic ceramics can be made. Some kaolin clays with relatively high purity It can be used in papermaking, chemical industry, rubber and other fields. After purification, it can also be used to make some silicon nitride and alumina products," said Ren Ruxue, general manager of Inner Mongolia Advanced Ceramics Design Institute.
Through years of accumulation, Zhungeer Economic Development Zone has now gathered 14 companies mainly producing high-end daily ceramics, gift ceramics, ceramic wine bottles, architectural ceramics and other ceramic products as well as inorganic non-metallic new materials. Featured enterprise. The annual production capacity is 56 million pieces of daily-use and gift ceramics, 10 million square meters of architectural ceramics, 42 million pieces of ceramic bottles, 50 million pieces of glass bottles, 176,000 tons of refractory materials, 74,000 tons of abrasive materials, and a calcined kaolin production capacity of 300,000 tons. , 12 million weight boxes of photovoltaic glass. The Jungar Banner has initially formed a diversified industrial cluster with unique characteristics in a resource-based region, becoming a new driving force for the energy transformation and development of the Jungar Banner.
