Organised by the Vietnam Ceramic Association and partners, the event attracts over 300 companies from countries including Italy, Germany, China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Themed "Sustainability and Diversity through Innovation and Collaboration," the exhibition highlights advanced technologies designed to improve productivity, quality, and sustainability in the ceramics and stone sectors.
Speaking at the opening, Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh emphasised that the exhibition supports the government's policies for trade promotion, technology transfer, and investment cooperation.
He noted the significant growth of Vietnam’s ceramic industry over the past 20 years, with the country now one of the world’s top 10 producers of construction ceramics, exporting to markets across ASEAN, Northeast Asia, the US, and Europe.
The exhibition brings opportunities for domestic companies to explore new technologies to address challenges in energy, raw materials, labour, and environmental impact. Many companies are focused on enhancing efficiency, reducing material consumption, and implementing green and sustainable practices.
The event includes workshops discussing industry trends and pressing issues, such as "Climate Change and Zero Emissions" and "Resilience in the Ceramics Industry," aimed at fostering creativity and sustainable growth in ceramics and stone production.
The exhibition will run until December 13, 2024.
