The company boasts a time-honored brand, start-of-the-art craftsmanship, numerous filings for patents and creative designs that combine traditional elements with modern aesthetics.

It has reportedly focused on product innovation and training a top-skilled workforce, in order to continue its transformation from a traditional ceramics manufacturing company to a ceramics cultural and creative company.

The Huaguang Ceramic Company design team employs five national-level artists and seven provincial-level artists, as well as 12 expat designers from the United Kingdom, the United States, Italy and Australia and 60 experienced porcelain artists.

Its products have taken pride of place at various high-profile international events including the 22nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting held in Beijing in 2014, as well as the 18th Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit held in Qingdao in 2018.

As a leader in ceramics and in the cultural creative industries, Huaguang Ceramic Company is these days said to be taking full advantage of its creative concepts, world-oriented strategies and superlative technologies to play the role of a primary carrier and promoter of Zibo's urban culture.
