Deals worth $224.66m signed at Shenyang ceramics fair

The 14th Shenyang Faku International Ceramics Trade Fair concluded in Faku county, Shenyang on Sept 28, with the signing of deals valued at 1.5 billion yuan ($224.66 million) over a three-day period.

The trade fair displayed the newest ceramics manufacturing equipment, techniques and technologies to promote ceramic products to domestic and overseas markets.

It was also a good opportunity to improve the brand influence of Faku's ceramics while transforming and upgrading the whole industry.

This year's trade fair highlighted the launch of a new ceramics transportation model. Ceramic products will be transported by rail instead of by road, to save time and cut logistics costs for Faku businesses.

In addition, export agreements with a total value of 300 million yuan were signed at the 2017 Faku Ceramics Industry Development Forum, involving merchants and purchasers from Singapore, Thailand and Qatar.
