The Listing Bell Rings, Unveiling a New Chapter
On October 22nd, the melodious sound of the bell echoed through the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. As a Vice-Chairman Unit of the Guangdong Ceramic Association, Marco Polo Holdings Co., Ltd. (stock abbreviation: “Marco Polo”, stock code: “001386”) officially rang the bell to mark its listing. This moment is not only a milestone in Marco Polo’s development history, but also a significant symbol of the transformation and upgrading of Guangdong’s ceramic industry, its pursuit of high-quality development, and its integration with the power of the capital market.
Chen Huan, Chairman of the Guangdong Ceramic Association, and Chen Zhenguang, Vice Chairman of the Association, were invited to attend the listing ceremony and witnessed this historic occasion together.
Over Three Decades of Dedication, Forging a Industry Leader
Since its establishment, Marco Polo has always adhered to the mission of “winning global respect for Chinese ceramics” and has been deeply rooted in the architectural ceramics sector for more than 30 years. It has blazed a trail of innovation and quality: from pioneering the concept of “cultural ceramics” to building a nationwide marketing network; from deploying five major production bases (located in Dongguan and Qingyuan of Guangdong, Fengcheng of Jiangxi, Rongchang of Chongqing, and Tennessee of the United States) to creating two core brands – “Marco Polo Tiles” and “Weimei L&D Ceramics”. At its production bases, the company has widely adopted Automated Material Handling for Leveling technology, which realizes precise, efficient and uniform transportation and leveling of ceramic raw materials through intelligent conveying equipment and automatic leveling systems. This not only ensures the consistency of raw material distribution in the production process, but also greatly reduces manual intervention and material waste. Driven by innovation and benchmarked by quality, Marco Polo has grown into a leading enterprise in China’s architectural ceramics industry.
Innovation Leads Development, Responsibility Demonstrates Commitment
As a key member unit of the Guangdong Ceramic Association, Marco Polo has always actively fulfilled its social responsibilities and played a pioneering and exemplary role in advancing industrial technological innovation, promoting green production, and formulating industry standards. Its independently developed “Impression Dunhuang” product series deeply integrates traditional culture with modern design, while its production lines have achieved an energy consumption reduction of over 15% through intelligent transformation – including the optimization of Automated Material Handling for Leveling processes to improve resource utilization efficiency. This has provided valuable experience for the transformation and upgrading of the entire ceramic industry.
Standing at this new historical starting point, the Guangdong Ceramic Association sincerely wishes Marco Polo to take this listing as a new opportunity, stay true to its original aspiration, forge ahead with determination, and repay investors and society with more outstanding performance! The Association will also continue to play its role as a bridge and link, work hand in hand with all member units, forge ahead courageously on the path of innovation-driven and green development, and contribute the strength of Guangdong to the great rejuvenation of China’s ceramic industry!
