In the ceramic sector, innovation and plant efficiency are essential to maintain competitiveness. China, now one of the main players in the global ceramic panorama, is undoubtedly a challenging target for companies in the sector that want to expand their presence internationally and keep up with the latest technological trends.
Ceramics China, a historic annual exhibition taking place in Guangzhou (China), has always aimed to provide plant engineering companies with the opportunity to showcase their solutions to a global, as well as local, audience. The event not only attracts ceramic manufacturers, but also major technology suppliers.
Attending an exhibition in China for the ceramic plant engineering sector is a strategic move to get in touch with the beating heart of one of the most dynamic markets in the world. It is an ideal showcase to launch new products, learn about the latest trends and establish business relationships that can open the way to international opportunities.
During the event, held from 18 to 21 June, Gruppo B&T had the chance to show its soul as a complete plant engineering company, enhancing all the brands that compose it within a totally Made in Italy booth and presenting, during the exhibition’s opening conference, its innovations in terms of Industry 4.0.
