The manufacturing of ceramics is a beautiful process, the decorative pottery that makes our homes cozy and trendy has gone through a lot of different stages, and it all starts with clay.
Today we will be talking about the manufacturing of ceramics, why you need a pottery supplier for your wholesaling business, and why we believe we are the best supplier you can get.
But first…
What are ceramics?
The word ceramics comes from the Greek word keramos, which means burnt earth.
But, nowadays, ceramic has a broader meaning, and it includes a lot of different materials.
The traditional ceramics are one of the oldest human technologies in existence.
It includes earthenware (the one we manufacture), stoneware, and porcelain.

What is ceramics manufacturing?
Manufacturing is the production of goods from raw materials to finished products, ready to be sold.
This production is composed of machines and manual labor.
The materials go through an assembly line, step by step, from one worker to the next.
This is especially true in the case of ceramics.
