During the “Western Visit to Explore the Key to Italian Ceramics” and the 2019 China Ceramics Network’s Italian inspection trip organized by China Ceramics Network and the Building Materials Industry Branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the China Ceramics Network inspection team followed the local time in Italy Visited 6 world-renowned ceramic tile design and R&D companies, glaze ink companies and manufacturing companies in Modena from September 18th to 19th (corresponding to published articles"It turns out that well-known Italian companies are doing this, look where you are!") After that, from September 23 to 24, I visited the Bologna Ceramics and Bathroom Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as: Bologna exhibition).
So, what did you see at the Bologna exhibition?
▲Zhong Taojun "takes a different approach" to enter the North Gate
Highlight 1: Richer colors
On the first day of the exhibition, Zhongtaojun was more visiting the booths of Chinese ceramic tile brands participating in the Bologna exhibition (interviewed Eagle Brand Group, Samit Ceramics, Dongpeng Ceramics, Nobel Ceramics, Champion Tiles, Bologna Ceramics Dejinggong Building Materials, Owen Lai｜Plain modern bricks, Jianyi marble tiles, and edited a 15-second short video accordingly to post on WeChat Moments. The relevant booth pictures are listed in highlight three; in addition, we also interviewed 2 Turkish companies and three Italian companies. ), and the domestic visitors who met by chance on the road told Zhongtaojun that most of them "have just arrived and haven't looked carefully yet", and the exhibitors "haven't had time to go to other halls to see it yet"; some people who passed some booths said, This year there are signs of a return of color.

Compared with the gray, white and black that have been popular for many years, the color presentation is indeed slightly obvious, but it also has a designated direction - leaning toward natural green tones, young blues, oranges and other warm tones.

Highlight 2: More diverse specifications and sizes
You may think that there will be a lot of large boards on display this year, but in fact the number on display is not that many, but the quality has improved. When the same big boards have become an unavoidable trend, there will always be personalized needs, such as the mixing and matching of products of different sizes.

The diversity of small bricks is also reflected in the unevenness and color of their surfaces.
Highlight 3: The sudden rise of Chinese ceramic tile brands< /span>
Some people say that more than half of the people in the domestic ceramics industry go to Italy for study tours and exhibitions every September, and there will be more and more non-professionals. Yang Kuibin, director of the Champion Tile R&D Center, revealed that there are many domestic ceramic tile brands and trading companies participating in the exhibition this year, ranking among the top three in the number of participating national brands. After visiting the booths of Eagle Ceramics, Samit Ceramics, Dongpeng Ceramics, Nobel Ceramics, Champion Ceramics, Bode Seiko Building Materials, Owen Lai | Plain Modern Bricks, and Jianyi Marble Ceramics, in addition to what we can see Chinese ceramic tile brands are almost comparable to Italian ceramic tile brands in terms of products and booth design. What is even more noticeable is the self-confidence of Chinese ceramics builders.

To borrow the original words of Chen Xianwei, Vice President of Eagle Brand Group: China is getting stronger. The so-called gap between domestic and foreign countries is just a difference in consumption aesthetics. If there is anything I want to say, it is to thank our motherland..
Although others laughed when they heard Chen Xianwei’s humorous statement, Zhong Taojun really felt the same way. When he visited the factory in Modena a few days ago, he found that more and more Italian companies are willing and even eager to cooperate with the Chinese.
This is why Zhongtaojun mainly visited domestic exhibiting ceramic tile brands on the first day - to speak out for our Chinese ceramic tile brands.

According to preliminary research, there will be more and more non-professionals visiting the exhibition, and more people need business-type exhibition services. For example, how to register and receive tickets to enter the exhibition? There are Halls 15~48 in the exhibition hall. Which route should you follow to view the exhibition in a more targeted and purposeful manner? ……
Zhong Taojun participated in the Bologna Exhibition for the first time. Thanks to Mr. Qiu Ziliang, general manager of Zihua Trading Company, for his help and guidance throughout the whole process!
Small TIPS: First of all, you can register online to receive admission tickets a few weeks before departure. After registration, take a screenshot and save it on-site to scan the code to enter. If you are not prepared in advance, you must bring your personal business card to register on-site on the computer; secondly, outside the door For the free advertising brochure, you can see the exhibition hall map by opening the scroll page at the end (the yellow part is the ceramic tile area, the blue part is the bathroom area, and the red part is the center and media area).
Afterword:
In order to facilitate this "Visit to the West to Explore the Key to Italian Ceramics", which is one of the "In-depth Italian Factory" visits, Zhongtaojun stayed in Modena and traveled back and forth between the two cities during the exhibition. Apart from driving too fast, Italians also have a slow lifestyle during meal times. After being "infected" by all this, Zhong Taojun sorted out some of the photos seen on the first day of the exhibition above. At 0:20 on September 24, local time in Italy. Therefore, please look forward to the in-depth articles about Bologna Exhibition tomorrow. "Bologna Exhibition in My Eyes" will also come from the comments of all visitors.
